Ok, after some consideration, I’ve decided to start the second charity t-shirt competition, despite not all the shirts selling yet (You can still buy them from our shop!)

So for the first step, this time we’re adding an extra little incentive! A prize for the winner and also some lesser prizes for the runners up. It will be paid for using money from the ads. We can’t have anything too expensive, but we won’t go amazingly cheap either.

Please post your ideas here: http://concrete-canvas.com/forum/index.php?topic=308.0

Thanks!

A quick reminder for those who may have forgotten or those who have only joined us recently – we still have remaining stock of our charity t-shirts! 100% of the profits are going straight to Cancer Research so please support the cause!

The two t-shirt designs we produced were the most popular of all the designs – the winners were inkJoy and FAKE.

I received an email yesterday from a Norwegian fellow called Morten yesterday. He was explaining to me a new street art auction that is taking place in Norway, fortunately for most of us, the auction will be taking place on the internet and over the phone at the same time as I’m sure most of us aren’t prepared to make our way to Norway despite our love for great art. The best way I think to explain the project is to tell you what Morten said:

I work for a street paper in Norway, called Megafon. We help homeless people by giving them a job selling papers, and they keep half the coverprice, like “The Big issue” which you may know already.

We have contacted street artists around the world to gather some of their works, and will now have an auction of all these artworks in Bergen, Norway. However, we will make sure it will be possible to participate in the auction, both by phone, and by internet. For those who are interested in this, they can contact me on morten@megafon.no.

We have been promised artworks from the following artists:
Dolk, Pøbel, Rene Gagnon, Terp, Mogul, 108, Zef, El Celso, Akay, Orticanoodles, Elyasaf Kowner, Ignorancia, Dr. D, Bandit, Bonk, Nomad, Klone, Funk 25, Difusor, Jef Aerosol, Dan23, Ripo, F-codes, Mr. Mucho, Vihls, Ocosio, El Cartel, Ikkeno, Chris Stain, Know Hope, Snub, Ame 27, Beth Granter, Arofish, John Grider, Is This You?, Luke Da Duke, The lover, Rugman, Santy, Tek 13, Kinsey, Fremantle, Zevs, Kama, Goro, Specio, Dave Warnke, Mon53, Zonenkinder, Senso, Strøk, John Fekner, Royce Bannon, Sztuka Fabryka, Lunar, Veng (RWK), 3+1=4, Gaetanosk, The 5683, M-City, and SixTen.

The auction of the art is Nov. 16th, at 19:00 local time. We will make the auction available for everyone, so if someone wants info on how they can partake in the bidding, through internet or by phone, they can contact me on phone +47 90773295, or mail: morten@megafon.no and I will send them a brochure with pictures, info on the paintings, bio of the artists, and opening bid.

Some great artists have already signed up so I’m looking forward to seeing whats in the auction.

We brought your attention to the Fusion Street Art eBay Auction last month. It has now gone live, as of October 1st so jump onto their eBay store and bid bid bid. Remember all the money raised goes to the Australian charity Kids Under Cover.

The put together quite a moving video/advertisement too which I have put below.

At the time of writing everything is still nice and cheap so there’s an opportunity to grab some work by some really talented artists for a low price.

So our Charity T-shirt competition is now in its final phase and the most important phase. This is the time everything comes together and we can finally start raising some money for Cancer Research.

The t-shirts are in today and look incredible. I am really pleased with the final results. Big thanks to Shirty Something for making this possible.

If you have already preordered a shirt it will be dispatched today and should be with you shortly along with a massive pack of stickers. If you haven’t bought a shirt yet, DO IT NOW!
