Win TWO pairs of free Blur Sunglasses !

We are launching a series of very cool new Blur giveaways - this month's giveaway is for not just one, but TWO pairs of free, extremely cool Blur sunglasses made by Iamkamty, a stylish online shop. 

To celebrate Blur’s first live performance in Hong Kong in May 2013, Hong Kong based designer Millie Chiu has created this set of hand-drawn Blur shades! These colorful plastic sunglasses have tiny holes on them. So not only can you to see through them, the tiny holes actually can help short-sighted or long-sighted vision by filtering out indirect light sources – the result being sharper vision! 

The winner will be able to win two pairs of the exclusive, one-off Blur sunglasses made by Millie. The design features the artwork of the 'Blur The Best Of' CD and comes in four colors, one on each eyepiece of the sunglasses. 

Seeing how Damon Albarn loves fan-made masks and milky-outfits on stage in the recent tour gigs, these glasses would make excellent eyewear for fans who want to stand out in future Blur concerts. 

Iamkamty.com is an online shop based in Hong Kong. Millie would like to create fun and unimaginable things out of ordinary objects. She thought to herself, “what if sunglasses could be colorful and vibrant instead of plain black shades?” And so, these wacky hand-drawn shades are created!

The shades are available in a wide range of cute, outrageous, vibrant designs, including Space Invaders, Pac Man, TV color bar and much more!

Check them out at her Etsy shop (iamkamty): https://www.etsy.com/shop/iamkamty . Like the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/iamkamty. 

Millie created the Blur sunglasses especially to celebrate Blur: Live in Hong Kong on May 6th 2013. 

You can also see more of her work and buy any of the sunglasses from the Etsy shop if you can't wait to see if you have won the competition.

About the designer: Interview with Anton Kampf on his Blur shirt designs

Tell us who you are and what you do!

I'm a graphic designer living in Brixton, London. I mainly design and print t-shirts but have also worked on posters and magazine covers. I would like to spend a bit more time designing gig posters and hope I will get the chance this year.  

How would you describe your design style? 

At the moment my style is very illustrative and has a comic book feel. Depending on who or what I am drawing I might use unusual colours or exaggerate features. I like to change the way I work so it doesn't feel too repetitive.

Are you a big Blur fan? 

Blur are one of my favorite bands and I still regularly listen to their music. In fact I would say as I get older I appreciate them more. Obviously I get nostalgic when I hear a classic blur song, whenever I listen to "London Loves" I am back in 90's and it's awesome.

I have seen them live quite a few times and would have to say that for me they are at their best when playing to a festival crowd. I love jumping around getting crushed down at the front near the stage and if the suns out that's even better!!! The last Blur gig I went to was their Hyde Park show in 2009 and they were as good as ever. 

How do you get ideas for your awesome Blur designs for the series? 

My Blur t-shirts just started out as a few rough sketches then when I started choosing colours and tidying up the artwork I thought they would make nice t-shirt prints. Usually you see t-shirts with the big blur logo or album artwork on it so I thought these would be great for fans that wanted something a little bit different from the mass produced merchandise. Unfortunately I haven't had time to design a Dave Rowntree print but I plan to get working on one ASAP (to complete the set).

Anton created the Graham Coxon 'Oh My Baby" print especially for this BlurBalls giveaway. 

You can also see more of Anton's work and buy any of the prints from the Britpop section at Myiconart.com if you can't wait to see if you have won the competition.
