Help for Haiti

Just a small round up of how you as an artist or art lover can help the many still in need after the Haiti earthquake.

Ive just started on some posters for The Poster Cause Project.
They are a wonderful company who sell posters designed by underground artists alongside some big names in art, posters are sold in limited numbers.
The best thing about them is the donate between 50% & 100% of profits to charities.
Check out the Haiti earthquake relief posters by the likes of Jon Burgerman, Shane Jessup, Scribe & EBOY.

Also the wonderful peeps at Threadless have released a $10 Tee (YES $10! THATS CHEAP) designed by Thomas De Santis & Ivan Tarrazo Sanchez in the effort to raise some money for the American Red Cross Haiti Relief.
Check out Many Hands Make The Load Lighter & be sure to buy one.

The Flickr community have joined in & there are some great images for sale on the Charity Print Auction Group so if you're looking for a nice new print for your hallway or living room head there & get something nice knowing that its for a good cause.

If you are an artist or designer then dig out some of your work & get on inkygoodness & donate your prints, sculptures, drawings or anything you've made & put it up for sale at the global art auction. They are still taking artwork donations for auction to raise funds for Haiti.

Another is The Renmen Project
They already have some limited prints from one of my favorite people, BenTheIllustrator.
'Renmen' is the Haitian word for Love, help them out & tell your friends because art of this standard limited to 100 prints is pretty cool if you ask me.

New stuff for the New year

If you're looking for a new wallet or some sweet threads you must check out Toddland.
Easily one of the coolest companies ive come across this year selling some awesome gear.

This is a must check out website from Dan Mumford the London based illustrator behind most t-shirts, CD covers & artwork for the likes of Gallows, Evil Nine, The Devil Wears Prada, Azriel, The Bled & Trivium. His style is insanely unique & the guys an absolute trooper when it comes to creating something intricate & new.
His new website Submit & Remix has just launched with its first t-shirts.

Submit and Remix is a clothing brand focused on outing new artists. The website is run by Dan Mumford & some guys from Atticus & Lowlife. They ask 2 designers to create an image based on a theme, they then ask the artists to remix each others deisgns in their own style thus having 4 very creative t-shirts. Its an amazing idea & i can see it growing to great proportions.
