I'm not sure how they choose the winners to be printed or what, maybe by comments? I haven't noticed a voting system at all.
Anyway you can view my design here... wait, you cant even link directly to the page your design is on, weak. Anyway you can view all of the submitted designs here [link] and mine is the purple haired girl (I Feel You)about 19 down on the left. Yeah sorry I thought leaving a comment would have been easier then that, oh well :/
Anyway wish me luck, submissions finish voting July 31st.

Details:

It's about time for a new European laFraise contest.

This time we thought Typography would be a good place to start seeing as we've had some great typo pieces in the past. It's definetly an artform that's been developing quite extensively within our art community here at laFraise and the art community as a whole.

Now there is no specific theme, we just want to see your custom typo. We want to discourage using pre-made fonts, we'd love to see a custom typeface created by you the designer.

Now I'm sure you want me to get to the good stuff, the contest starts July 7th-21st and will be available on the EU portion of laFraise but of course open to anyone.

Whats up for grabs?? Well each winner gets 1500 Euros and we'll pick a total of 3. Now depending on the amount of submissions and the quality maybe we'll pick a few more like we did with the Popdeck contest, thats entirely up to you guys

So to recap:

-Typography contest. no theme

-Open to anyone

-1500 Euro prize with 3 winners

-Submissions are accepted between July 7th-21st

-Available on laFraise EU

We look forward to seeing your submissions.

I'm excited about this one, have fun guys!

Either way I look forward to seeing some pics

Info and announcement here [link]
Also, here is an interview for Vice Magazine UK that I did through LaFraise. I was interviewed because of the Spiders, Icecream & Morphine design.
----------------------------------------------
Intro.
I really haven't got the balls to take credit for the interview below - Maïa made it with Jared K. Nickerson (better known as "J3Concepts" here on laFraise) and it has to be the most interesting interview I've read in a while. Laughing out loud in front of a computer is usually a sign of slowly going insane or actually coming across something really funny. The stuff this guy's brain "poops out" is simply amazing - I'm lacking any other words to describe it. When I was taking some samples from his website for this interview and resizing & cropping them to fit our blog's format I couldn't help feeling bad about it. It felt like I was savagely raping all the details and the gentle touch in them.

So, be sure to check them out as they're intended - the amount of detail is just astonishing. Kick me in the nuts if I'm wrong but my prediction is that this guy is the next laFraise designer superstar and that we have printed not one but many of his designs before the year 2008 is done with. You can count me as a fan of his work, that's for sure. I'd love to drink a few pints with Jared and pick his brain a little while doing that. I'm running out of words that do any justice to him so I'll let you get started with the interview and the samples now. Much love.
----------------------------------------------
Interview
Q. Hi Jared, are you single? And if not, why?

A. Actually I have a beautiful wife from Southern California. Just got married June 1st. Funny enough, I met her through my design work and a roadtrip, long story short, we got married 2 years later.

Q. Who are you, very precisely?

A. Well... I'm a 25 year old, graphic illustrator that currently looks like a young Martin Scorsese on coke, but if you wan't me to be more precise... I currently live in Vancouver, British Columbia and as of last week became a full-time freelance artist. Nah, I've been doing freelance for a few years now, only as of last week I worked a full-time job as a Sales Manager for an online broadcasting company. So all over the place currently... Ok let me start over, I design shit with a mouse and sell it for money.

I was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia for the first 12 years of my life, then moved to Toronto, Ontario and now residing in Vancouver for the last 3 years. I'm allergic to shellfish... like lobsters and oysters, don't know if it's a deadly allergy, haven't tested it fully yet.

Q. How did you discover laFraise and why did you stay?

A. Actually, oddly enough. I originally found LaFraise about 6 months ago when my wife notified me that some "artist" had ripped my artwork and posted it up on the site for voting. So I emailed them and mentioned the issue, and they were very applogetic and accomodating about it. So that really impressed me. So when their site poped back up in my mind a whilelater, I decided to try posting my artwork there myself.And the rest is history. They have been fully supportive of myself and my art I'd say that's a good reason to stick around, plus throwing me money sometimes doesn't hurt either.

Q. What's the secret of your talent: sweat, beer or hard work?

A. I wish I could be "the drugged out, socially retarded, outcast, artist" who only gets his inspiration while high on gasoline fumes and hooker farts, but I'm not that guy. My inspiration comes from music and everyday life. I guess it doesn't get more simple than that. Nothing too exciting, like I travelled to Taiwan one summer and found my inner soul through meditation and now I feel the need to share it with my peers through interpretive dance and the odd illustration. Just simple ol'; "I sit down in front of a computer, turn on some music, and start drawing." Just whatever my brain poops out, that's what you see.

Q. What will you do with the 1.000 Euro cash-prize? Party?

A. You're giving me money? Right on.

Q. What's your child's dream (I mean, except being printed on laFraise)?

A. To one day go digging in the backyard, and find moles with actual drilling equipment.

Q. Don't you think humanity should put in jail all the designers who draw on paper, because of the deforestation?

A. Yeah, they should be wasting electric... ]]> `j3concepts http://j3concepts.deviantart.com/journal/16535793/ http://j3concepts.deviantart.com/journal/16535793/ Fri, 01 Feb 2008 00:25:50 PST [link]

Also you can now buy tees at [link]

The new options prints on Americal Apparel tshirts and supports Paypal for anyone that was having issues with just straight credit card. Not as many design options on the new one, but the prices are a little less and you can still chose your preferred colour.
Hey, probably bad timing with Christmarse and stuff, but I added 6 new designs to the line.
Can check them out as usual here [link]
added:
Growth
Ogres Become Kings
50 percent more pulp
No Logic
Two wolves, a coma, and a sandwich
Metamerism
------------------------------------------

Well I found a good solution for now to distribute and print clothing that happen to have my artwork on them.
Let me know how it works out for you. I've ordered shirts from this service before and the quality of the print is incredible.
Purchase the tees here----> [link]
I will be adding more designs eventually, for now though i think there is 8 designs.
Thanks for the support guys, I'm curious to know what you think of the tshirts once you receive them, even shots of you wearing them. Makes a good Christmas gift too I'm sure

Again the link is [link] in case you missed it.

Also did an update at EHHM [link] Check it out.
