Part HYA*, Part mimoco, All Awesome

I’m sure you’re all abundantly familiar with Hide Your Arms*, that exceptional t-shirt blog authored by the owl-eyed Andy. If you’re not familiar with HYA*: A) you’re a horrible person, B) the preceeding description pretty much covered the important points, C) I guess you’re not actually all that horrible.

Anyhow, Andy announced a contest of epic proportions this past Wednesday: Hide Your Arms* is teaming up with mimoco in order to host an illustration contest to end all illustration contests.

Hold on, John, you are saying. Just hold on a ding-dang-doggone minute now. What is mimoco, exactly? Well, most of their activities revolve around manufacturing designer USB-flash-drive-toy-monster-things called mimobots:

Now that that’s out of the way, what are the rules for this auspicious contest? Andy lays it down on the line:

There are three tees from mimoco’s new apparel line up for grabs and all you have to do to win is create an illustration with a mimobot in it. Yeah, it’s that simple. Let your imagination go wild, draw anything you want in any style you want, just make sure it involves a mimobot in some way. You can feel free to incorporate Hide Your Arms into the illustration too, but that isn’t a submission requirement.

Please send your submissions, preferably in a .jpg format and under 1MB in file size, along with your t-shirt size and mailing address to the following e-mail address: competitions [at] hideyourarms [dot] com or, in case that e-mail doesn’t work for some reason info [at] hideyourarms [dot] com.

Be sure to get those submissions in by midnight (GMT) on November 21st, Bonanza Cadets! Because that’s when, you know, the contest ends. Get to it and win those mimoco t-shirts for your own self!

    It’s not really that epic, but a company like Mimoco wanting to work with me is really exciting, and they’re really great guys too from what I can tell.

    Thanks for the post too, the more attention this gets the better!
