Little Helper Show:

well are we the first ? ?
we were at the show from about 4pm onwards (because ESP LTD) the company we or one of us works for was helping to sett up the live screenprinting demo. any way reverse a little, the whole vibe of the show was great and many reps from many t-shirt companys popped there heads in to look around, of course during the night the winner was announced. we are not going to lie we cant remember the winners name or any of the 15 runner up's, because of the export 33 beer part of the night .... but the posters in place instead of t-shirts for he runners up ! ! (nice touch) this made the the images stand out and of course thanks to the setting of webbs it all seemed to just fit .... but. We will when we can,find out the winner and pass it on to you all, any way back to the night ?. People enjoyed the sounds of submarinor and printor:(also available here (have a look around for his offering) and we are working to get his next mix on here asap so keep looking or checking in)....... We finally saw the screenprinting demo take off and many of the crowd took advantage to see how it all works, and ask heaps of questions and also hopefully get what is involved in making your t-shirts you wear ! !................
so to sum up: we had a great time and so look forward to next year:

final thoughts: any one who tries to help people MEDIUM to small and in between ! !, We, you and all. CONGRATS AS COLOUR and THE LITTLE HELP PROJECT "WE SO LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR"

SO THIS JUST IN : AS Colour is very pleased to finally announce the winner of the Little Help project. Luke Hedley from Auckland took out the $10K start up package with his label t-shirtopedia. Here is a Luke's description of the t-shirtopedia concept straight from his original entry form.“I’m a self confessed geek/nerd and I love geek chic nerdy doofus comic, pop culture and touristy type t-shirts, plus I love the internet and finding out interesting information. I’ve compressed all these influences into a t-shirt label called t-shirtopedia.

It’s pretty self explanatory, but my idea is to make t-shirts that have simple encyclopedic dictionary inspired pictures of quirky subject matter, with some brief encyclopedic facts to boot. I think my designs would be great for adults and children alike. If I win I intend to do small runs of various subjects I like and if any seem more popular than others, bulk up the numbers on that specific design. Overall I think t-shirtopedia lends itself to small and varied runs over a few mass ones.”

Despite the fact AS only called Luke to tell him the good news less than 3 weeks ago the first run of t-shirtopedia tees have already been printed in a hand numbered run of 150 per print. ............ LINK: The www.littlehelpproject.com website will be launching next week
