Over the past week, there have been loads of the following: yee sang, cookies, soft drinks, packet drinks, eating, eating, eating, EATING! We Malaysians love our food and we hope that you guys enjoyed the Chinese New Year celebrations as much as we did, whether it was to host friends or to be part of the visiting gang…

At the moment, we’re on a eating break until the next festive season comes along and then we’ll probably start again… heheh… yup, we Malaysians really love our food…

But back to blatant© matters, WE’RE BACK! We suppose the common response would be: “So?” Well, we just want to get you excited about the things that will be coming your way….

Firstly, we’ve got 2 NEW designs scheduled to be ready by mid of next week. Once again, the design style and focus will again be something slightly different, so be prepared to be pleasantly surprised!

Secondly, we have once again managed to secure a spot for the March edition of Art for Grabs that will be held at the Annexe Gallery, Central Market.

Date: Saturday, 6th March 2010 - Sunday, 7th March 2010
Venue: Annexe Gallery, Central Market (downtown KL)
Opening hours: 12pm - 8pm

So yes, block out the dates, and keep some of that ang pow money for the new designs…!! Have a great week ahead!

Our last XXL t-shirt for our konfewsd design got sold yesterday. So we now have no more 3XL and XXL for this design. As expected, this design has been the hot favourite in recent weeks (no doubt helped by the fact that RED is an absolutely auspicious colour for those celebrating the coming Chinese New Year)…

So, what is the konfewsd design all about? We’ve had people asking us what it means while others have been trying to guess what they think it means…. but nothing beats hearing it from the horses mouth isn’t it?

If you notice, this design is quite unlike other blatant© designs in that it doesn’t have a slogan or tag line that explains the graphics. In fact, the graphic of the lightbulb, traditionally a symbol of a great idea, is encapsulated by a one word question. We’re basically taking a pun on established fact, and the things that we take for granted to always be true or right.

For example, for many years, humans believed that the sun circled the earth and this was accepted to be truth, the norm. When the scientist Galileo publicly supported the theory that it was the sun that was the centre of the universe and NOT the earth as was believed back then, he was scorned and called a heretic, and was shunned by philosophers and clerics. In fact, Galileo spent the last 10 years of his life under house arrest because he refused to retract his views!! And yet, today, we know for a fact, that the old fact “the earth is the centre of the universe” is a myth.

Things are not always what they seem, and we need to dig a little deeper. But digging deeper sometimes leads us to more questions instead of answers. And it’s ok to admit that we’re a little konfewsd, instead of taking sides without ascertaining the validity of what we take for granted to be true or right. konfewsd?

You can order our konfewsd design from our ORDER PAGE. Postage within Malaysia is only RM6 via Pos Laju.

Alrighty then… it’s 3am on the 5th of February 2010. It’s time to make good on our promise… our ONE DAY ONLY CNY PROMOTION begins NOW!!!!!

There’s only 1 more day to our ONE DAY only blatant© CNY promotion…. and we promised you that it would be something that you wouldn’t wanna miss….

I think that logo should ring quite a few bells in your heads. If it doesn’t, you’re either not a coffee person, or you’ve been living in a cave for too long… =)

So anyway, we’ll be giving away STARBUCKS vouchers during our promotion day tomorrow. We will confirm that it’s NOT going to be a buy 1 free 1 voucher, it’s NOT going to be a 20% off voucher. They’re gonna be CA$H vouchers. Oh yeah…. all the caffeine senses should be tingling right about now… =)

We hope you’re as excited as we are, cause right now, we’re just about ready to jump around in glee (no pun intended to the series).

Remember, it’s gonna be a 1 day promotion only, and it’s gonna happen on Friday, 5 February 2010

HINT: You can start checking around 3am on the 5th of Feb, 2010.

Oh yes, Chinese New Year is on the way, and we at blatant© would like to share our joy with our bFFs (blatant© Friends and Fans)…..
