This is gonna be a REAL short post…. we just wanna let you know that the ALLERGY and SEMI-MENTAL shirts are now available for ONLINE ORDER!

For those who still dunno what we’re talking about, here are the designs:

We suggest you order your designs soon because over the weekend, a lot of sizes went out of stock (we’ve updated the order page to reflect it already)…

The magic page is right here: ONLINE ORDER!

We’ll be back hopefully by Wednesday to tell you guys all about the fun we had during Art for Grabs and also about our Lucky Draw and much much more!

Have a great week ahead!

And suddenly, we’re only 2 days (excluding today-lah) away from the first edition of Art for Grabs for the year 2010! Once again, blatant© has been given the privilege of being part of this creative and arts bazaar and we would like to invite YOU to join us!

The theme of the event this time is entitled ART FOR GRABS March 2010: Slurp it Up with a pretty catchy design as well… =)

For those of you of who are using IE browsers, you will have to make do with the image below because for some reason, the browser (stupid mikrolembik company) just won’t show the official flyer above…. sheesh.. =)

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

We at blatant© are extremely excited about this weekend’s event because our NEW! designs are ready and will be sold there! This is just hot off the oven so you know this is the first time anyone is seeing it!

Of course, as our usual modus operandi, we will definitely get around to explaining our designs, but for now, the short review would be to say that fun was what we had in mind and these two designs are specifically targeted to those who have a specific type of allergy and the other for those who are on the other spectrum of being sentimental… =)

PS - The new designs will be available for online order starting next Monday… so if you’re dying to get your hands on it first, come on down to Central Market this weekend…

This will be our third time participating in this event and it’s always been fun because there are ALWAYS loads of stuff to see (50 vendors) PLUS they always have very interesting screenings and other supporting events…. these are some of the events that will be happening during the Art for Grabs event:

For more detailed information on the events that are happening and regarding Art for Grabs in general, do head over to the ANNEXE GALLERY WEBSITE… we hope to see you guys there to have fun with us….

To those of you having a bad week, hang it there! It’s only 2 more days till the weekend… =)

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.
