I’ve mentioned Veer before– but they really deserve another mention. They are slowly becoming one of my favorite resources–and clearly after all designers hearts. In the past they had classic typography t-shirts, great souvenirs and goodies, and they just introduced 8 new t-shirt designs this month– like this one that says Lorem Ipsum. If you’re a design or typography snob, head over to Veer, I think this shirt says it best “creatives understand”.

We have a winner, yes we have a winner! We’d like to congratulate Derek Duncan, from San Francisco, CA.

Born in Columbus Ohio, Derek received a BFA in Sculpture from Ohio State University in 2002. After graduation, he began studying jewelry design and fabrication under the instruction of his father, a professor of the jewelry arts for more than 20 years. In 2004 he moved to San Francisco were he currently works, designs and produces a small line of jewelry.

Android 8 and I would like to thank everyone that entered the contest. We definitely got very some cool entries. It was a tough decision, but in the end we picked one that stood out from the rest. Android 8 Will fully fund the production of Derek’s toy, and soon it will be available for purchase. His prototype will be on display at Comicon in San Diego, July 14-17th.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
