Ooh. I'm a designer!

My entry cunningly disguised as a t-shirt!


Wow!!

Yesterday entries closed in Redbubble's challenge to design a temporary logo for the site, to celebrate the imminent arrival of RB's 100,000th member!

To paraphrase that much abused and hackneyed phrase ... Do yourself a favour and check out Lucan Industries Unlimited at redbubble.com
