The Next Big Thing!!

Well I'd like to think so anyway ...

Over the last 12 months or so, I have been listening to a work mate excitedly chart the progress of his track racing son, James - through local competitions, then State titles, the Youth Olympics and finally National and Oceania Titles!

After achieving this lot:


1st U19 Time Trial Oceania Championships AUS
1st U19 Time Trial Australian Championships SA
1st Time Trial Aust Youth Olympic Festival AUS
1st U19 Team Sprint Oceania Championships AUS
1st Team Sprint Aust Youth Olympic Festival AUS
2nd U19 Keirin Oceania Championships AUS
2nd U19 Sprint Australian Championships SA
3rd U19 Sprint Oceania Championships AUS
4th U19 Keirin Australian Championships SA
4th Sprint Aust Youth Olympic Festival AUS

James has been selected to represent Australia in the 2009 UCI Juniors Road and Track World Championships .... in Moscow in August!!

So, I offered to design a tshirt for sale, to help fundraise. After coming up with a couple of less than exciting designs, I was inspired to appeal to my very talented friends to design and donate a design to the cause!

This was the result - an ever increasing stack of brilliant, bike-themed tshirts for your wearing pleasure!

If there's a design there that you would like to purchase, feel free .. and if there's one missing .. hey, why not design it and add it to the pile!!

Redbubble/Demo Sound Update!

Wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowow!!

I made the Top 20 in the RB/Demo Sound Challenge ..... means my design gets sent to Demo for judging! Click on the header to see all the finalists!!

They will select first, second and third place - will buy tshirts and feature them in the window of the Demo Clothing Store in Carnaby Street, London!! Yes, Carnaby Street!!

I feel a bit like an Oscar nominee - incredibly pleased and honoured to make the final cut and now waiting with bated breath for the next instalment!!

Thanks to everyone who voted for me!!

Redbubble's Sound Competition!

Having received a not so subtle kick in the pants from a friend about not having blogged for a while, I shall redeem myself by flogging RB's latest bit of competition brilliance!

They have again teamed up with the good folks at Demo to offer designers the chance to have tshirts for sale in a prime window position in Demo's London store.

The competition has closed for entries now - and as I type this there are 9 days left to vote!

There are some amazing entries, all available for sale in the meantime.

I have entered with this;


I don't know how much correct form it is to canvas votes on one's blog, but it's my blog and I'll shamelessly self promote if I want!! /grin

Anyway, go check out the comp, enjoy the entries and vote hard ... (you can vote for more than one entry btw).
