October 9, 2007 at 12:12 pm | In Bountee, Design, Freshness, Shirts! | 6 CommentsTags: Bountee, competition, cute, drawn.ca, illustration, knight, t shirts
Wow! Quite a busy week for our competition and the whole site in general. So first off a really big thanks to EVERYONE who’s been through the Bountee doors over these past 9 days!
But back to the competition. We now have over 60 designs competing for the grand prize of a month -full of shirts (31) and the Blueflipart.com vouchers.
But I think we need more.
We’ve seen a lot of people just re-tagging their designs as ‘Drawn.ca’ – which is cool an’ all – but what about the new creations? Where’s the designs inspired by your inspiration?
Don’t forget that you only have until October 31st to get the best voting score – so it pays to show your hand early and drum up the votes!
And you do know that all shirts entered for the competition are still available for you to sell don’t you? So think of it as just one, big shop-window for your personal store!
Still to come:
Big news about the CREATE Tool coming soon! Stay Tuned…

Amateur Illustrator – Weekly t-shirt competition!
September 28, 2007 at 2:42 pm | In Bountee, Freshness, News, Other People | Leave a CommentTags: competition, drawing, sketch, t shirt
Hi Everyone,
We’ve been working hard behind the scenes on stuff these past few weeks and thought that you might appreciate a little competition that we’re running along with Amateur Illustrator!
Head on over to their site for the full details…
In order to enter you must take part in Amateur Illustrators weekly sketchgroup. The Amateur Illustrator sketchgroup is held each week in the Work in progress forum. Each week members do a sketch based on a theme (last week it was rain, this week it is self portait). Any member who enters a sketch can suggest a theme for the next weeks sketchgroup. At the end of the week one of the ai moderators starts a new sketchgroup based on a theme chosen from the suggestions of the previous week.
The member who has their theme suggestion chosen at the end of the week is the winner.
So get over there and get sketching… :)

Exciting news from Bountee HQ – but not yet.
That’s coming Monday :)
As for other stuff, if you’re having fun here at Bountee working on your own shirt designs then you’d probably get a kick out of this…
Bountee Bulletin
September 14, 2007 at 2:26 pm | In Bountee, Code & Tech | 4 CommentsSo today – as well as listening to too much Kanye & 50 cent – we’ve done a few little updates to speed up the site. We hope they’ll help you get to your shirts that whole bit quicker :)
Also we sent out our first newsletter overnight, so you should check your inboxes for lovely, Bountee goodness.
For those of you not signed up with a Bountee account (shame on you – it’s free!) here is a link to the mail:

So how is everyone today?
Do you have a US Maestro Card?
September 6, 2007 at 5:27 pm | In Bountee, Business, Code & Tech, News, Shirts! | 6 Comments
If you do own a Maestro card, and you fancy placing an order AND you’re the first person to reply here with your transaction number we’ll give you a FREE SHIRT!
Seriously, we need to test something out with ‘live’ data :)
p.s. We can only offer a free shirt to the FIRST person who orders, so please make sure you let others know that you’ve ordered using the comments below. Thanks.
Critique
September 5, 2007 at 3:24 pm | In Bountee, Code & Tech, News | 3 CommentsTwo posts in one day – blimey! But today is worth it for one reason:
We’ve got new stuff! :)
Granted – it may mean a little bit more to us than it does you in the grand scheme of things, but we’ve been wanting to improve the voting on the site for a while now, and we finally think we’ve done it.
So now, once you’ve logged in, you will be greeted with the latest 5 designs submitted for Most Wanted status – you can of course view all of the latest design submitted here - but now there is the added bonus of being able to provide some critique on the design right within that window; so you can justify your Yay or Nay!
It may seem like small functionality, but as someone who has had designs rejected on a nearly weekly basis I really hope it’ll be useful to receive some constructive feedback from my peers.
We hope you like it!
(As always, we’d love your feedback on it below)
Copyright, designs and other stuff you and us all care about!
September 5, 2007 at 11:00 am | In Bountee, Business | 5 CommentsWe get a load of emails here into Bountee HQ. And most of them are nice :)
The majority of them have a question or two attached as well – with perhaps 80% of them talking around issues of copyright and ownership of designs.
Here’s an example of one we had today:
I have a little question about using the site to produce some merchandise for my band . Is there any issue with reselling t-shirts on another site?
And just briefly, here is our answer:
If you mean in linking to us from another site? = No problem at all.
If you mean selling stuff that you have bought from us on another site? = No problem at all.
If you mean having the same shirt design on another site for sale by another company similar to us? = No problem at all (as long as THEY let you!).
:)
It’s your designs dude… You do what you feel is right with them! :D
Other than perhaps the misplaced ‘dude’ in that last sentence – we like to think that our sentiment is spot on.
Let’s be honest here – this site is nothing without your help, your designs and ultimately your talent. We can’t speak for other people and other business/websites who ask for ownership of your work and everything else, but for Bountee -unless you and us have an agreement that says otherwise – YOU own YOUR work. And always will.
I just thought that it would be nice to mention that.
August Pay Day
September 4, 2007 at 2:32 pm | In Bountee, Business | 1 Comment
Oops! In all the fuss and excitement of the past week or so we forgot to say that the Pay Day for August happened at the end of last week!
All of you who made money from 20th July to the 21st of August would have received an email from PayPal by now.
If you didn’t?
Well… You could always design more shirts? or tell everyone where to buy yours from? :)
p.s. A little update happening very soon. Keep watching…
BIG VOTES! (and a little search update too).
August 29, 2007 at 5:09 pm | In Bountee, Code & Tech, News | 8 Comments
So the site is doing well. We’re happy and we hope you’re enjoying the extra creative freedom that the new system is providing? Certainly we’ve had a load of new designs put up over the past couple of days.
But how to search through them all eh? Well, we’ve updated the search page a little today, so now you can look through just the wonderful, most wanted designs or EVERYTHING (and by that we mean EVERYTHING – so please be ready for some pretty err… experimental stuff!)
We’ve also made voting a lot, lot easier too. So now you can view 50 submitted designs at a time on our big, vote page. We think that this makes picking out the good stuff a whole lot easier – but please don’t forget that NO votes are just as important as the YES ones! The quality of the designs on the Most Wanted section really do depend on you making that vote count.
Anyway, more exciting vote – as well as design tool – news to come over the next week or so.
Enjoy!
