$10,000 Winner Announced at Design by Humans
Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I’ve just been very busy. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the t-shirt world didn’t wait around for me. There has been plenty of activity and I think the announcement of a new winner at Design by Humans DBH10K is big news indeed.
Mecha-Lebaw T-Shirts by csj89 takes first place in the DBH10K and wins $10,000
This is a 5th win for Philippines designer, csj89, at Design by Humans and there are surely more to come.
The second place was also taken by a Philippines designer and last years winner Collision Theory. It will be the next t-shirt printed.
Third place went to Tang Yau Hoong for his surreal cityscape. The t-shirt came out very well.

4th place went to The T-Shirt Review favorite; SOS Strawberry by Gloopz.

The t-shirt came out no where near as well as the design.The tee is just too white.
Collision Theory Rising
AJ Dimarucot aka Collision Theory is doing very well for himself recently. You may notice the similarity of this image and the previous image and the reason is that Collision Theory had a hand in that one too collaborating with Jimiyo. He was also the winner of Design by Humans‘ DBH10K just last week. This great tee is his eighth win at Design by Humans so if you are more into wolves than bears you are in luck.
Animals are Wild at Threadless
It’s Monday again which means Threadless have released new tees and reprinted some old ones. The good news is that artist Jimiyo has finally gotten recognition at Threadless. His first t-shirt to be printed there is a collaboration effort with AJ Dimarucot aka the110 (of Collision Theory, I believe) and it is a fantastic image of a roaring panda. Yes, I agree that the roaring bear has been done to death but this effort is rescued by its unique artistic styling. The placement of the design is also great. It’s definitely going on my wish list. As time goes on Jimiyo is showing more range and more than ever I am looking forward to seeing what he comes up with next. He has another potential collaboration winner on his hands which you can see on his blog.
This other design is a reprint and it reminds me of the Uneetee t-shirt a reviewed a few posts back. It to a heavily maned lion taking up most of the t-shirt but that is where the similarity ends. This lion looks more like something you would see in a fantasy movie where wise old lions converse with humans on a daily basis. Of course the spectacles lend that effect.
DBK10K Announces Winner
Design by Humans have just announced that Black Hole Sun by Collision Theory is the winner of the grand prize of their DBH10K contest. The winner getting, of course, $10,000. To be honest I am a bit surprised by the win as it was the least favorite of even the final 10 and whats more, Design by Humans seem to have changed the coloring. The submitted design seemed much better than what they are selling. I notice too that this t-shirt is available in three colors but none of them do it for me.
Second place was taken by Altitude Sickness by BRCollective. I think this was the favorite to win because of the big color splashes which are almost trademark DBH. It is a stunning piece and also available on three different color shirts. The design was a collaboration effort by members of the Black Rock Collective. I have recently seen quite a lot of collaborations in these contests. I guess it might increase the chances of a win but at the same time it decreases the payout.
