So, yes, I’ve posted approximately seven times about Threadless, the t-shirt, and now print-making, company of great graphic design, and, having recently received my Spoilt print in the mail (yay!), I had to post again.

The prints are thrilling because I’m not an everyday T-shirt-wearer, but I just love all of the designs on the T-shirts. The only real problems with my print are: (1) I wish it were more giant, (2) I wish I could find a frame that works with it. Alas.

Anyway, one of the most fabulous parts about receiving my print was seeing which number print I was getting (they have runs of 250). I believe I was number 90-something, so that means over one-third have been sold. Secondly, the print came in a fabulously thick and huge tube.

Luckily, the people at Threadless knew that we lovers-of-graphic-design, having a general affinity for creativity, would wonder what to do with this monster-of-a-tube. Thus, they provided the above insert: “It’s Not Just a Tube! 12 tubular uses you might not have considered” (with art by Olly Moss, who recently posted this Wilde at Heart design, which I love, on his blog, and is the artist of my beloved Spoilt print!)

The tube-ideas include everything from “Ninja Sword” to “Huge Glass” (my personal favorites are “Robot Arms” and “Hamster Cannon”). Also, the bottom warning is spectacular: “Many of these uses are not safe or possible.” Though I would really like to give “Giant Spit Baller” a try…

Update 7/4/08 9:15AM: Threadless prints have been reduced to $19.
