Ever heard of Threadless Clothing? It’s this awesome community site where artists submit designs for sale as Prints and T-Shirts. When their design is chosen they win $500 cash and instant web-cred, but that is a story for a different day.

On August 25th they began a sale on all their T-shirts, $9-12 for ANY and ALL T-Shirts!!!! This is your chance to pick up some seriously fresh threads and wear art not advertisements! Because who the hell likes a walking billboard? Go stock up on shirts now before the sale ends September 7th!

Below are some examples of the designs Threadless has to offer.

I’ve been jocking Bay Area artist Matt Furie for a minute now, lurking him on Myspace, stealing his art for flyers and basically slapping that shit everywhere on the internet, cause it’s badass.

Just like in middle school when you would try and collect more than your friends and wear em around your neck.. except this stuff is actually cute. Here are just some of the innovative ideas:

Breath easy internet, I have returned to my blogging post. Over the last week and a half I’ve been journeying up the Pacific Coast with Bear Hunter . As it turns out, when I try and write on my laptop while in the van I start to puke all over my band mates — hence, my absence from Synthesis Blog. Over the next few days I will be recounting my harrowing journey (in between fascinating posts about pop stars getting busted for drugs, children with weird growths on their bodies and general paranoid-paranormal fodder). Get ready, dear readers. Get your asses ready.
