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!

The charity t-shirt competition voting stage is now over. The designs we received were outstanding and I’d be happy to print all of them but unfortunately my wallet won’t, hence why we started the voting stage. We would like to thank everyone that made a submission, everyone that raised the profile of the competition and everyone that voted. Thanks to all.

The votes have been tallied, and after a frantic last battle between FAKE and inkJoy (maybe some unsportmanship there) it was a close one to the end. inkJoy won it by just 3 votes. Below is inkJoy’s design that we will be getting printed. You’ll be able to preorder these later today:

But, we have left you in the dark dear reader. From the outset we always planned to have the top 2 designs printed (although we never told you this) and released for Cancer Research. So, we’d like to announce that we’ll also be getting FAKE’s design (seen below) printed too.

As I said earlier, you’ll be able to preorder these designs and they will be despatched to you as soon as we get them. Preorders will open later today so keep checking back for our new shop to open.

A big congratulations to FAKE and an even bigger congratulations to inkJoy!

EDIT: Shop won’t be up tonight, sorry, been having a few issues with the rip off merchants Paypal and their damn fees. Expect it up tomorrow.

As a previous Flickr of the Week (FOTW) winner, FAKE has already impressed us here at Concrete Canvas. His stencil work is consistently impressive, clean and entertaining. So I was incredibly grateful when FAKE took us up on the offer to interview him. See what happened below:

This weeks selected Flickr is our first artist from outside the United Kingdom, he is however our third stencil artist - other artists please add our Flickr page, it could be you next time!

So FOTW Artist is FAKE from the Netherlands. With his inspiring stencils and thought provoking ideas, we believe he deserves FOTW.
