Divine Tees at Bad as Hell Clothing

Charles Wu of BadAsHellClothing.com sent me a mail recently introducing his new site, I’m pretty well known for my love/hate (love winning / hate losing) relationship with Threadless and a gamut of similar stores out there, I’ve written a comprehensive list of the top sites in a recent article, but you can never get enough of a good thing, and I have to concede this BAHC are certainly off to a great start! Excellent designs and a generous cash prize certainly grabbed my attention and look to have a great future in the market.

Apart from the cool logo the first thing to hit me was the high standard of design at BAHC, Charles obviously feels the same as he’s picked six winners for his first month’s trading and every one of them is a real cracker. The top prize is a generous $600 ($500 cash and $100 vouchers), plus residuals that can amount to $1000 if they sell 550 or more of your design, or $1 per t-shirt if they sell 150. So well worth submitting your latest tees if you’re after some cash and kudos.

By the way check out the crazy logo, Charles can certainly practice what he preaches as BAHC so be sure you submit your very best works to get a crack at the top prize! Anyway on with the current winners at Bad As Hell…

As you can tell by now they’re are some gorgeous designs on sale there already, which means a full-on vector brush attack if you want a chance of winning. I’d avoid puns here and go as far down the arts route as you possibly can, meaning more illustrative flair and less conceptual idealism. They aren’t after messages, they’re after high quality line art. BAHC use a top-notch four-screen printer press with a Wilflex™ ink mixing system which allows them to match any possible colour to the tee, but as I’ve mentioned this currently limits each design to four colours (soon to be eight), so your brains maybe taxed just that little more than usual.

Hurry up and send in your latest design to beat the rush, they’re holding the current contest until August 8th 2008, so the earlier you do the more votes you should receive. Find some divine inspiration and send it to hell
