A Little Help needed to win the A Little Help Project
By heiko in announcements
Great stuff: Before I even started working on the Hypnowl Empire (my upcoming t-shirt label – haven’t I told you about it?), I applied for AS Colour’s A Little Help Project. The Kiwi T-shirt makers are giving away a start up package worth $10,000 to the most popular t-shirt design as determined by Facebook-likes and sales in their retail shops in Auckland, Wellington and Sydney.
A jury of jet set t-shirt people picked the top 10 entries out of a whole heap of submissions, now it’s up to the people to vote the best. If you want to help me win the thing, there’s a lot you can do with ridiculously little effort:
- Like the design on the Little Help Project’s home page
- Like the design on AS Colour’s Facebook page
- Buy the shirt in AS Colour’s retail stores in Auckland, Wellington or Sydney or online (soon). Preorders can be placed here: dan@ascolour.co.nz
I’ll keep you posted!

New Micro Zine: SUP
By heiko in announcements, merchandiseThere’s a new zine in town, and it’s tiny (just 5.25 cm × 7.4 cm / 2 1/8 × 2 7/8 in): SUP! 6 new illustrations, 8 pages including the cover. Animals doing summertime shenanigans, like monkeys riding giant motorcycles, rhinos eating watermelons, elephants sitting in a pool and more.
SUP on Etsy
As a new year’s special you can get it for free if you order any size giclée print from the store. Just add the word SUPDUDE as a note to your order. Enjoy and see you in the new year! Thank you for reading this blog!
Buntings on Etsy, Market Appearances, etc.!
By heiko in announcements, merchandise, storeWhat’s up, folks?
When we went to the Village Markets the other week, several people asked about the makeshift bunting I used to decorate my gazebo. So I went home, made up two designs and put them on my Etsy store as a printable PDF. Hope you enjoy.
Bunting No.1: Beach Party on Etsy
Bunting No.2: Hypnosis on Etsy
Speaking of markets, I’ll also be at next week’s Village Markets at Burleigh Heads State School. Always happening on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the Month, the next one will be on the 18th of December – Open from 8AM to 1PM, featuring local fashion, arts and crafts. Worth a visit! More info here.
Also, if you’re in Australia, you can still take advantage of the coupon code LASTMINXMAS, that’ll get you 15% off your purchases on my Etsy store. For orders outside Australia it might be too late to arrive on time for Christmas, but you’re free to order using the coupon, too, of course!

Gift Guide 2011
By heiko in announcements, christmas, merchandise, storeMost of the people on this globe won’t be having a roast turkey tonight, still I’m wishing everyone who does a Happy Thanksgiving! Christmas is just a month away now, so if you still have some gift shopping to do, here’s a small selection of goods with my designs on them.
In case you decide to get something from my Etsy store (would be cool!), please note that if you want to receive your goods before Christmas and are ordering from outside of Australia, I’d strongly advise you to order this or next week, since though shipments usually arrive within 14 days, they often take much longer. I’m keeping my fingers crossed, though!
Also, if you use the coupon code HOLIDAYCHEER on my Etsy, it’ll get you 10% off your order!
1) Limited Glow-in-the-dark Screen Print from Print Club London £40.00
2) Bamboo iPhone Case (iPhone 4 & 4S) from Grove from $89
3) 2012 One Sheet Wall calendar in 4 Colours on Etsy $5

Auch wenn Ihr wahrscheinlich kein Thanksgiving feiert, wünsche ich doch ein herzliches Erntedankfest allen Damen und Herren Lesern! Weihnachten ist jetzt auch nur noch einen Monat entfernt – falls ihr noch einige Geschenke zu besorgen habt, gibt es oben eine kleine Auswahl an Waren mit meinen Designs.
Falls ihr vorhabt, etwas aus meinem Etsy-Laden zu kaufen, hier noch ein Hinweis: Die Sendezeiten von Australien aus in den Rest der Welt bewegen sich nach Europe zwar meist um die 14 Tage herum, manchmal kommt es jedoch auch vor, dass es sich deutlich länger hinzieht – gerade in der Vorweihnachtszeit. Falls es also vor Heiligabend ankommen soll, rate ich dazu, die Bestellung innerhalb der kommenden Woche abzugeben. Ich drücke jedenfalls die Daumen.
Mit dem Coupon-Code HOLIDAYCHEER gibt’s übrigens 10% Rabatt auf meinem Etsy-Shop. Viel Spass!

Return of the Hypnowl shirt
By heiko in announcements, storeHello there! Summer is gently shuffling towards us now, with every week getting just a little bit hotter. I can’t wait for my first Christmas at the beach this year. While working towards affording the Piña Colada in my hand when it happens, I’ve got my first self-initiated shirt to share with you. It’s the Hypnowl Council design, silk screen printed on 100% pre-shrunk cotton, in a nice unisex-ish fit. You can check it out on my Etsy store. There’s also heaps of prints, new postcard sets, buttons and calendars!

Hallo! Der Sommer kommt langsam auf uns zugeschlurft und jede Woche wird es ein wenig heisser. Ich freue mich schon auf mein erstes Weihnachten am Strand, und während ich daran arbeite, mir meine Piña Colada für den Anlass leisten zu können, habe ich mein erstes eigenproduziertes T-Shirt auf Etsy veröffentlicht. Es ist das Hypnowl Council design, das euch aufmerksamen Lesern bekannt vorkommen müsste. Siebdruck auf 100% vorgewaschener Baumwolle, 13 Eulen – jetzt auf Etsy, nebst einer riesigen Kollaktion von Kunstdrucken, neuen Postkarten, Buttons und Kalendern! Viel Spass damit!
Etsy Round-up, Post – Finders Keepers
By heiko in announcements, merchandise, storeTwo days have passed since coming back from the Finders Keepers market in Brisbane. What a fantastic weekend it was! Loads of people came by, cosplayers walked on the other side of the road for the Supanova festival which happened at the same time; many friends came by or manned their own stalls, people said many nice things about my work and bought lots of stuff. Hope we can do it again! If you weren’t able to come, I’ve put most of the products on my Etsy, and if you’ve bought something at the markets, be sure to use your coupons at your next checkout!
