The Premise:
Style Swap is a contest organized by the Threadless alumni both as a creative test for the participants and a contest for the blog community. The participating designers are split into 19 pairs and each designer is responsible for creating a design in the style of their partner. The pairs were made based on the dramatic difference in their styles. The fun part is to guess who did what design. The first and second person to guess the most correct pairs wins the collected prizes offered by the designers and Threadless! Please, one guess per person. Guesses are due by the time the last sub finishes scoring (if any of the subs are declined for any reason and are resubmitted, they will NOT be counted towards an extension of the guessing deadline). The Rules: • First person to correctly guess all of the pairings wins! There will be a runner up as well so keep those guesses coming in even if somebody has already won the first place prize. • If nobody can correctly guess every pairing, the person with the most amount of correct guesses by the deadline wins! (deadline = when the last sub finishes scoring) • One guess per blogger. Remember that there are 19 pairs. Choose wisely, my friend. • Email your guess to styleswap@valorandvellum.com. Then let us know on the blog that you submitted a guess. One of us will check and let you know how many pairs you guessed correctly. * In the instance of multiple people guessing the same amount of pairs, the prize will be awarded to the person who guessed the correct amount first.

This is Pseudo Fatheed aka kennybanzai, Style Swap participant, and designer of Bunyan's Blues. This Style Swap was such a great learning experience for me as I tried to mimic the awesome style of Fatheed aka Aled Lewis, one of the multi-printed Threadless community wonder children... The design started by looking at Fatheed's work and trying to get a good feel...He loves to show his process in the blogs, you should check those out. I found he likes to create scenes of sorts... i imagine some of the designs like on a stage or a scene of a play... For many of these I think he draws with nice precise perspective lines which probably creates the sense of depth or space..land etc...The characters and objects fill out the framework into great compositions of awesomeness and hilarity... So I then started just writing down words of ideas , and the top three were (nobody steal them please :P) , Dooks of Hazard ... birds chasing and pooping on the General Lee from Dukes of Hazard, Rough times at the Bunyan home ... the bunyan family eating blue meat around a table, and a cowboy in the dusty west branding a train among graffiti leaving his brand/Tag... I worked on the first one, Dooks of Hazard a while but I decided to change to Bunyan... So, for a good scene I realized a charcoal grill we had was pretty generic, good for drawing, and my brother in jeans with flannel could be a great model.. and that was it...grilling a blue steak! so I kind of traced first and then enhanced a Fatheedesque color scheme with the beard and axe then finished with stumps and tree.... Here is a picture of my bother standing at our grill which we got from neighbors trash when they moved out...heres a pic Thats it! That product shot guy looks crazy in the eyes! Congrats to the other winners this week, one being Aled with the Foam Monster! Thanks Style Swap! Thanks Fatheed! Thanks Threadless! Thanks Voters! Thanks Chris my Brother! Thanks Paul Bunyan! Thanks Babe! -Ken aka kennybanzai www.kennybanzai.com
