The DBH 10K Winner - September 3, 2009
Mecha-Labaw
by csj89 from Pasig, Philippines
About the Artist
csj89 has 6 designs in the running. This is the 5th winning design for csj89.
The Philippines is by large an agricultural country, and the Carabao (a water buffalo often used by farmers, locally known as Kalabaw) has been long considered as a national symbol. It’s a big part of our culture, and I thought I’d pay homage to it by creating a modernized, stylized representation. I hope you enjoy my submission :)

Really sorry guys! I STILL haven’t received any DBH payment up to now, but DBH said they’re working on it. I haven’t bought any of my own shirts either because I don’t have enough personal funds too.
Hopefully I will get an update soon, when I do – the first thing I’m going to announce are the raffle winners. Thank you for your patience!
WE GOT OURSELVES SOME RAFFLE WINNERS!

Sorry for me… I was out of touch of DBH for a long long while and I missed joining your free t shirt contest.
Congratulations on your win…
How is the sale of your Mech design at DBH….must be overwhelming sale for you beating all others, I suppose?
By the way, do you get extra money on their sale?










Congrats CSJ89! I was glad to see this one today—it’s a fresh and very wearable design in my opinion. Looks like it printed great, too.
