This is another guest post out of Barcelona by Sven Palmowski, one of our favorite tee designers!

Allmightys - Berlin - London

Allmightys

Allmightys is a t-shirt shop with a competition based around commissions. It is run by Filip, an architect in London and Kon, who is the guy who handles printing and shipping out of Berlin. It is a real European project, a nice community too, where every designer gets special attention, unlike some of the huge competitions where so many fantastic designs get lost so easily…

Let me show you the 5 Allmightys tees we call our own:

The Architect
The Architect by a.mar.illo, Barcelona

One of my own creations :) I’m very happy with the excellent printing result on this 1 colour design. It is an American Apparel “forest” shirt, the guys solely use sweatshop free apparel by the way.

Little Old Men by Andy Martin
Little Old men by Andy Martin, London

Andy Martin is well known for animating music videos and commercials. The shirt has some amazing detail and is an example for the quality of screenprinting used by Allmightys: Perfect white on a darker shirt colour is always difficult and they are able to do so without losing any of the tiny details.

The King Is Dead by Yonil
The King is Dead by Yonil, aka Jonathan Lax, Israel

One of Allmightys’ favourite designers, in 2007 Jonathan won the Graniph contest in Japan, which is an incredible accomplishment. The huge creme colour splash feels a bit like cardboard even after washing, well, that’s the traditional screenprinting process, the fabulous new waterbased colours would be appropriate here…

Underwater Birds
Underwater Birds by a.mar.illo, Barcelona

I am also very happy to see this one printed, it is my most successful and most fovourited design ever at several art and design online communities.

Soulmachine
Soulmachine by a.mar.illo, Barcelona

Unfortunately this one hasn’t sold very well until now. “Light blue” is a hard selling colour I guess, though the shirt is really great and it made bronze in the Mech Tech Competition.

The current contest at Allmightys is called Pattern Battle, the submission deadline is 23rd June 2008, 23.00 GMT.
