T-shirt Design Contest

For all you creatives out there, I am having a contest. Giving you a voice!

Rules are simple. Design a print to go on a t-shirt.

These designs have to be ADAMHOEK specific. So no random wolf shirts…or unicorn shirts for that matter…unless it somehow incorperates something to do with ADAMHOEK.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

Make a picture of one of my songs, like ‘Gypsy Shrinker‘ or ‘Green eyes‘.

Draw what one of my songs means to you.

Create an image of my face (please make me look stunning).

Create a t-shirt which complements one already in my tshirt store.

You could even design me a new logo for on a shirt! The more creative the better!

What can you win?
Grand Prize YEAH!
  • A physical copy of my solo EP ‘ EPH 5:19’ which includs a 45+ page full color booklet about the songs and my history, with exclusive photos inside!
  • A digital copy of my Album ‘Nectar’.
  • A physical copy of my first ever CD with my old band ‘The Exchange’.
  • A special discount code for one of my future releases.

  • A super rare ‘Longest Dutch Word‘ t-shirt hand printed by myself.
  • I will write you a poem/song about a topic of your choosing.

2 more prizes

From The War

Recently, a friend of mine has gone through a really difficult time in her life.
Loosing some one close to you is always a terrible experience, especially when you did not get to say goodbye.

I wrote this song for my friend. I hope that she will find comfort in it.
If you have a nice message you want to leave her, please put it in the comments below.

Would you like to have this song to give to somebody? you can download it below.

FROM THE WAR

You changed the way
I look at my life,
everyday

Time and time again
I think about you
my missing friend.

First time that I saw you
I knew that I would be
the one to hold you.

I couldnt hold you tighter
like the rifels in the hands
of a fighters.

Why did you have to go,
and leave me here?
It could have been anyone.

Shooting stars,
they hipnotize,
the glory of the ones who rize
from the war.

I sit and weep
waiting for that day,
that the gate will creek.

You’ll come running up the path way
yelling at me that your ok.

Why did you have to go,
and leave me here?
It could have been anyone.

Shooting stars,
they hipnotize,
the glory of the ones who rize
from the war.

Why did you have to go,
and leave me here?
It could have been anyone.

Shooting stars,
they hipnotize,
the glory of the ones who rize
from the war.

I understand,
that you saw the fear,
in your native land.

You had to go out,
and fight for the lives
that you could not live without.

Why did you have to go,
and leave me here?
It could have been anyone.

Shooting stars,
they hipnotize,
the glory of the ones who rize
from the war.

We are proud of you here!
you gave your life and took our fear,
but now i feel undone…

But I feel joy in my heart,
even though we are apart,
Ill see you on the other side.

ADAMHOEK sent to Jail after T-shirt Struggle.

Don’t apologize to your mother about being an individual! If your boss tells you to take the shirt off, tell him, to take HIS SHIRT OFF!*

*don’t actually do that…

I’ve designed some super trippy fresh funky T-shirts for you guys! I also strangled the printing company until they gave me the shirts at a super cheap price.

Sure I’m in prison now, but who cares? I’ll get out eventually. I can handle myself, I have made friends with a small man called Tuco. He may be small but he has some crazy look in his eyes that strangely makes me feel safe…. All I know is that you guys now have the ability to get super freaking sweet shirts for an awesome price.

Check out the T-shirts below. Click on them for the jail worthy prices.

See below for an extra 15% off code!

David can grow a beard faster than a wild stallion. For this..I gave him a free CD.

What an awesome show my friend Dieuwke put together! We played a great 30 min set and so did other bands.

So many awesome bands were there Coppersky and Eva Ellingsworth to name a few.
The Concert was raising funds for a mission trip to Russia. All up we raised 1000 euro!
A cut of the CDs sold that night went towards the Russian mission trip.
Also for the gig I set up a discount code for

60% off our Nectar album
If you want some of that discount action write in ‘russia‘ when you purchase it from thestore
That a savings of 6 euro!

Be quick about it though, because this promotion ends Friday the 25th. I will be giving away goodies in the future to audience people so make sure to check out our next show! You can jump on the mailing list(in the side bar) to stay up to date.

Iv’e never played with such awesome bands before. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. very cool.

‘Its Nice’ to be in a movie.

After I released my new solo cd at XRDS on Easter Sunday, I was approached by a man with a smile from ear to ear.

His name was Benny(that is still his name) and he was making a movie. After some chats over the next few weeks/months we decided that my music would be great for a film he is working on. I wont release much detail about the project because I don’t know how much I can tell. But from what I know it is sounding pretty awesome!

We are working on a selection of my songs for this movie, some old and some brand new.

Below is a recording of a song I will send him right after I write this article. You guys are getting it first! 😀

So what do you think of it? Tell me below in the comments! Also dont forget to get a free copy of this song and others here!

P.S I’ve set up a promotional code during this fathers day season for a 20% discount on my t-shirts! the code is ‘dad2010’ make sure you get your t-shirts before fathers day before the deal ends! Also, if you buy 5 or more you get free shipping!
