I got this really cool email from Victoria over at Red Bubble, a company based out of Australia.  They are coming to NYCC for the first time.  (I wonder if it’s there first time in NYC too?)  Any how they are having a contest, leading up to NYCC, where they will make your shirt.  I posted the general rules of the contest, but there is more to it, check out the rest here.  I’m excited to meet Red Bubble, and I’m sure that the rest of the crew will be as well.

The Challenge

Fancy having your own design featured at New York Comic Con?
Of course you do, so you need to get your concentration hat on and read these words:

Your task is to create your very own, highly original, comic book character. Superhero or villain. Splendidly powerful, embarrassingly weak, or just quite good at chess. Give them skills you’ve always wanted or defects you’ve always dreaded. Give them a snappy name and stick them on a t-shirt.

What would your character wear? What’s their calling card, weaponry or gadgetry? What’s their story? What are they fighting for or against? It’s up to you to answer these questions.

We’ll then whip the winning design into a limited edition, official RedBubble/NYCC 2011 t-shirt to be featured, praised, discussed and given to hundreds of adoring comic fans in New York this October.
