We just launched The Photography Collection. This collection features original photography, including a tee from one of our in-house photographers Hellpanda! The line was curated by octavious , who said he was excited to push the element of photography on the canvas of a tee. He chose photographers he thought had a graphic and witty sense of humor in their work.



Check out The Photography Collection and The Photography Collection Lookbook.

And we wanted to give you a chance to put your photography on a tee, too. We partnered with CanvasPop and Photojojo for a new Loves challenge.



Design a tee using your original photography.

Photo fiends and lens lovers, it's time to show us what you've got! Use your original photography to create a tee design. The content is up to you! Snap taco still lifes, city skylines, people wearing life-like moose masks, rare flowers, or whatever makes you happy.

You can modify your photos in any way you see fit to make it the best possible design for the tee canvas.

It’s true Katie Campbell aka campkatie is the designer of This is My Life, the chosen Threadless Loves YOU! tee. But she’s so much more than that. She’s a Floridian art student MOVIE STAR! Read all about it.

Tell us about this design (This Is My Life). How did you get the idea? How did you create it?
I originally designed This is My Life as a graphic for my homepage on my portfolio site. I wanted it to be simple, timeless and friendly. It just seemed perfect for the Loves YOU contest.

Tell us about the mediums and process you use to create art.
My best brainstorm sessions come when I'm driving. I have random sheets of paper and notes on my phone with ideas and sketches. Depending on what it is, I'll either dive straight into the computer, Illustrator or Photoshop or start drawing with charcoal and ink. Either way I usually make a mess in the beginning :) My best designs come from a strong beginning concept. I minored in painting in college, but unfortunately don't have as much time to put towards my fine art. Figurative Oil painting was my love.

What’s your favorite piece of art you created? What’s your favorite piece of art in your home?
An oil painting I did in college of my ex-girlfriend. We had to use a limited palette and I finished it in one day. Her hair is all crazy and I wrapped a scarf around her face so only her eyes and above are showing.
My fave art in my home is a print from the Polaroid Kid of a train hopper girl with an arrow in her mouth.

Tell us a little bit about where you grew up.
Tallahassee, FL. The armpit of Florida. Had a wide range of friends and was always busy playing sports and doing artsy things. If I wasn't playing a sport, I was watching my brother, dad or an FSU game. Weekends were spent swimming at either a pool, nearby beach or river.

Ever have a "15 minutes of fame"? What was it?
I was an extra in the Miley Cyrus movie, The Last Song. I'm a "hip shopper" during her musical montage while looking for the perfect dress.

What's something you believed in your childhood that you don't believe anymore?
money grows on trees

How often do you draw?
Everyday

Thanks for chattin’ Katie! We can’t wait to see what you come up with next.

Sup, Threadheads?!

This edition of Threadspotting comes to you with a little twist. Many of you (and I mean MANY) have sent in sightings of Danny Pudi’s character, Abed, wearing various Threadless tees on NBC’s Community. Well, we’ve compiled the majority of them, and now we’re going to play a game called “Name Those Designs!”

The rules are simple: Check out the photos below and, in the comment section, list the names of the designs AND the artist in the correct order. The first person to list the designs correctly in the the right order wins! Simple, right?

What do you win?

A giftcode for a Threadless tee of your choice
20 Street Team Points
Glory... so much glory!

Ready, set, GO!

Good luck to everyone, and thanks to all who’ve submitted these sightings! Remember, as always, if you see Threadless tees in the wild, send us a note at sightings@threadless.com and we'll talk about them here... AND we'll give you some Street Team Points to boot! Enjoy!

Attention sloganeers!

We love the way you craftily glue words together to make hilarious phrases and pithy sentences. But after much thought, we’ve decided that slogans are kinda hard to judge without seeing them as part of a final design. So, we’re removing slogans submission and voting from Threadless.com.

What does this mean for all you witty wordsmiths out there? In order to judge slogans fairly, we want you to collab with artists and submit your slogans in finished designs so they can go through the normal voting process. This will give those people who score your slogans an idea of what the final tee will look like. (It also means that if you split the tee prizing 50/50, sloganeers get $1k instead of $500!)

Comment in this blog if you are a sloganeer who needs an artist or an artist who wants to bring some slogans to life! And good luck, collab-ers!

Congrats to Blair Sayer! His tee W.T.F.? was the chosen design from Threadless Loves Weird! Clearly, his design is worthy of such a title.

As is stated in the prizing, Blair now gets a video of members of the Threadstaff sitting in a circle brushing each other's hair.

Enjoy this Blair. You’ve earned it.
