OPPORTUNITY FOR ARTISTS

Beginning Aug.4, the American Red Cross and Threadless are calling on artists and graphic designers across the country to design t-shirts around the theme “Everyday Heroes.” Red Cross heroes donate blood, serve meals and provide shelter for the people affected by 70,000 emergencies and natural disasters that occur every year in the United States, and this challenge helps everyone understand and visualize their importance through design.
