First off, we would like to apoligise for the lack of updates these 2 weeks due to the busyness of real work, the organising of our Charity project – the Renmen Project, and one of the Thunder Chunky crew getting married, Hurray!
I’m sure you’ll understand, so without further delay we’re excited to announce our 2 week competition giving away 4 Super Slick, Gorgeous prints (Yes, you want them don’t you?) from our friends at KneeDeepInSleep.
“Kneedeepinsleep is the creative outlet of British artist and photographer Ben Thomas. Founded four years ago, we produce premium quality, limited edition tshirts, clothing, art and goods.”
Due to the generosity of KDIS in celebration of the release of new print Zodiac Blues, we have decided to split the competition in to 2 weeks so more people can win. The winner of the first 2 prints will be announced a week from today on Twitter, and then the next competition for 2 more prints will start straight after. Keep your eyes peeled…
