Karmaloop has been very generous and is offering joshspear.com readers a couple hard to find, limited edition t-shirts. Karmaloop is the only store online carrying the adidas/WE collaboration– it’s not easy to find, and is really great stuff. The gold foil shirts feature the adidas stripes, the WE icon, and the world famous Swedish crayfish pattern. I’ve got one shirt for the guys, and one for the ladies. Signup for the mailing list to be selected– I’ll be choosing winners at the end of the week, thanks for all the support Karmaloop!

I love design books, I find myself lusting after rare typography books online all the time. There is a new site, called the Design Bookshop, that is making finding the right books easier. They hand picked the most essential and important design books available, with short reviews– they link into Amazon. If you’re looking for a book, but can’t decide what to get– check them out.

Ninja Cruise, Matt Curry’s illustration and art portfolio, got a new website and the Summer ‘05 slides are up. The work seems to be evolving, and as usual is amazingly detailed. He still has a small CafePress store where you can purchase prints from for some of his works– but I’m most interested in his large scale canvas work, check the new pieces out!
