“Pattern Battle” shirts at Allmightys

After weeks of print the 6 new shirts from the ‘Pattern Battle’ competition at Allmightys are finally in their store! These are my favourites:

Slum by darruda on black with blue details just looks great,

the white-mint print of Forest? by Rocciuto on the brown shirt creates a nice contrast and the idea of barcode works very well,

Little Town by mumolabs is pinted on American Apparel Organic Galaxy, which is a nice new tee colour.

Allmightys is based in Berlin (and London), price: € 21.00 all shirts, read more…

Fantastic Bonanza Free T-Shirt Contest X: Voyage Into Sector X

I can safely say that last month’s contest was the most difficult to judge. And that’s not just because I’ve been busy compulsively irrigating my ear canals in preparation for Take It In The Ear Day—no, it’s because so many of this month’s entrants really showed their stuff, making our jobs a lot harder than we anticipated.

Still, we had to choose a Winnar—such is the nature of contests—so we now present this month’s Free T-Shirt Contest winner: Marissa Perna, with her tenuously medical entry:


How many people want to inject Fantastic Bonanza directly into their circulatory systems? Show of hands!

I cannot stress enough how incredibly close this contest was. You guys owe it to yourselves to gander at this month’s other entrants, if only to see what Graffiti is capable of these days.

Enough words! It is time for the December Contest to show itself:

You know what’s ridiculously simple to write? A haiku. Think about it! Just five syllables, and then seven—and then five more! And you’re done! I mean, yeah, there’s the problem of conveying nuggets of profound wisdom or sublime natural wonder in such a limited frame, but come on—who does that? Seriously!

So here’s your challenge, Bonanza Cadets: write a haiku that is somehow related to Fantastic Bonanza! No need to use the words “Fantastic Bonanza” in your entry, of course. You could even write about, say, Conezor or Joe or something if you really wanted—it just has to be Fantastic Bonanza-related!

Post your poetic masterpieces in the comments section and we promise to read all of them all of the time. Well—not quite. Don’t forget your email address, either—otherwise we can’t inform you of your prestigious win!

Super-Fine Contest with Mailbox Tees

The Jaunty Scamp at So Many Shirts And Only One Body alerted the world of this contest currently going down in conjunction with Mailbox Tees just a couple of days ago. The Jauntily Scampish One writes:

In the spirit of the upcoming season, [Karen Merzenich, founder of Mailboxtees] has graciously decided to give some lucky so-and-so a three-month subscription.

All you have to do is give me [The Jaunty Scamp] any two names of the artists from Mailbox Tees that are not mentioned in this post. It’s that simple.

Send answers to keyser1812 [at] sbcglobal [dot] net with “Mailbox Tee Contest” under the subject header by this Sunday evening (11/25/07).

There’s not much time left! Be sure to read the original post carefully so’s you do not bungle this opportunity. Well, what are you waiting for? Get to it! Chop chop! Pip pip pip!

Fantastic Bonanza Free T-Shirt Contest IX 2: Bloodlust With A Vengeance 2

Free t-shirt contest! The other current one really sucks, so we’re doing one that is way cooler. The winner gets a free t-shirt from Fantastic Bonanza! Here’s what you have to do to win:

1. Sign up on Facebook (if you don’t already have an account).
2. Become a Fan on Fantastic Bonanza’s Facebook page.
3. Draw a sweet picture using the Graffiti application on that page! (Please keep all entries PG… we’ll have to delete your drawing if it’s too vulgar, and that would make us cry a little.)

It’s as simple as that. The entrants will be judged based on a complex 100-point scale of Awesomeness, which is a combination of Artfulness and Good Idea-ness, with a pinch of Effort-ness thrown in for good measure. The winner will be announced December 7th. Good luck!

Fantastic Bonanza Free T-Shirt Contest IX: Bloodlust With A Vengeance

It’s been seven days since the start of the month. You know what that means! What time is it?!

TIME FOR A FREE T-SHIRT CONTEST

With eighteen entrants last month, it sure took a lotta slogging and culling to find an Ultimate Contest Winner, but we couldn’t pass up Joshua Sharp’s deftly crafted press release. So he won the contest! All of last month’s entries can be seen at last month’s contest page.

This month, there are two prompts, with one free t-shirt going to the best entry in each category!

Prompt number one: As accurately as you can, use up to six adjectives to describe Fantastic Bonanza’s t-shirts.

Prompt number two: Describe the kind of person who would buy a Fantastic Bonanza t-shirt in six adjectives or less.

I should probably emphasize that we do want answers that have some basis in reality. For example, a wild and crazy answer like “obsequious, brumous, and Rhadamanthine” would not be so great. This is not to discourage imagination, of course! We just want truthful answers instead of “truthful” answers. You know?

Feel free to answer both prompts! You might even win two t-shirts. Just be sure to make clear which answers correspond to which prompt so things don’t get confusing for us. Also, be sure to leave your email address behind when you fill in those comment fields so we can contact you if you win!

This contest is lame. New contest here!
