while the Graffeetee team is hard at work doing development, we thought we would poke some fun and offer you a new graffeetee puzzle each week.

this might not be the most challenging puzzle or game you’ve ever tackled but this probably is one with a lot of fun…

this definitely beats card game or whatever it’s on your desktop. to spice it up, we are going to reward the first one who complete the game in the fewest moves a surprise prize in a lucky bag” – somewhat a japanese new year tradition (Fukubukuro) and even Apple did something like for the new year in 2007. but usually it’s for purchase, here we are kind of making it like the “kinder surprise” but FREE.

yes, it’s a surprise, so you won’t know it what’s in there in advance. the goodies are in the range of cool sanrio items, kidbot toys, car model, key chain, to electronic.

no joke, this is for real… afterall, we should all have some fun and beat the monday, tuesday, or any kind of blues at work or at lunch during a hectic day when you can’t go out for lunch because your esteem boss or colleague scheduled a meeting at 12:35pm. classic…

and so, to spice up your life a bit, i think we are deserve some serendipity in life… being free with some randomness is good to our health (mentally).

definitely it’s a creative stuff and activity out of your boring day of routines. btw, don’t forget to join the flickr group, and you can submit your favorite graphic, images or graffiti photo to be featured in the next “graffeetee puzzle”.   [go to flickr group]

there will be instructions to submit score once you completed it. tell a friend or two and collaborate to win more prize quicker!

Game On… Enjoy!

Creatively yours,
graffeetee team

design journey – beginning…

This isn’t about graffiti per se, perhaps.  But rather, this is inspired by its spirit and the elaborate, spontaneous, ubiquitous, free, expressive, and creative art form. Pattern, motif and graphics are elements and ways for expressing yourself. In New York, artists and designers like to use t-shirt as expressive form like the graffiti.

Keith Haring, a well-known graffiti artist (the king of New York graffiti), who among many, successfully bring the Pop Art and graffiti artistic movement to the mainstream and commercialization realm. In the 1980s, Keith Haring, opened his first Pop Shop, a store that offered everyone access to his works – which until then could only be found spray-painted on city walls. Now even art had become democratized through the T-shirt (tee). Pop Shop offered bags and t-shirts, where you could not only appreciate but purchase his works too – including the famous crawling baby. Haring explained that, “The Pop Shop makes my work accessible. It’s about participation on a big level, the point was that we didn’t want to produce things that would cheapen the art. In other words, this was still art as statement”

By making Pop Art an outrider of mass production, Andy Warhol’s silkscreened portraits gave the T-shirt free rein.

For some graffiti artists (“writer”), painting away from the street environment is not graffiti, because it’s distanced from the “underground” and closer to accepted art. T-shirts had more vitality than posters, cardboard, or paper and thus came across as the natural medium for getting their works out to the turned-on throng. For the T-shirt is something that offers freedom by flowing with the body’s movements rather than restricting and confining them. It could be thought of as “traveling graffiti” (graffeetee.co.cc) for it’s a blank canvas, wall, and surface.
