BloodSweatVector.com is a podium for the worlds leading vector artists to share their news, releases, work, and recommendations.


Brad Mahaffey, founder [link], said: "With BSV we are finally giving people interested in vector art a common stomping ground. Many sites feature vector artists, but none with such direct focus that BSV will give. BSV is all about the artists, and the great vector work they create. Artists are allowed to post directly to the front-page of the site, anytime they wish. Giving the public the most up to date, central source of news and information from the artists. BSV will also provide video interviews, tutorials, and 'round-up' style mega posts."


Captivating and stimulating artists everywhere. BSV features the relevance of the vector illustrator profession and showcases its technicalities. Artwork and product design by legendary vector artists such as 123klan, HelloFreaks, LosFokos, Magnus Blomster, Sheena Aw, Cuypi, Niark1, Dacosta, Charuca and J3Concepts proves to be a constant source of inspiration and awe on the site.


Aspiring vector artists and designers will find joy in a revolution of exposure that BSV will bring to the field. Not only featuring the worlds best artists, but exclusive interviews, tutorials, contests, exhibition sponsorships, and more, BSV will be a driving force at the heart of the vector world.


From a pixel-perfected website, to an intelligent artwork rating system, and a network of leading artists. Blood Sweat Vector shows the promise to be a thriving community filled with amazing artists, hobbyists, and aspiring professionals alike.

We wanted to say “thank you” to the community, and we figured every Christmas we give out a certain amount of BR (credits) but what could we do more specific to the designers?
That’s where the “15k Contest” comes in.
Here is the breakdown:

-Contest is open to all countries on all laFraise sites.
-Submissions start November 10th - December 1st (then allow 1 week for final voting)
-No other contests will be run during this time.
-We will pick the 9 top designs which will then be put into their own gallery as finalists from December 8th-14th
-3 winners will then be chosen each getting 5,000 Euros (yes thats EUROS!) and their designs will be printed in a limited run.

Can’t wait to see what you guys come up with! Good luck!

It's about time for a new European laFraise contest.

This time we thought Typography would be a good place to start seeing as we've had some great typo pieces in the past. It's definetly an artform that's been developing quite extensively within our art community here at laFraise and the art community as a whole.

Now there is no specific theme, we just want to see your custom typo. We want to discourage using pre-made fonts, we'd love to see a custom typeface created by you the designer.

Now I'm sure you want me to get to the good stuff, the contest starts July 7th-21st and will be available on the EU portion of laFraise but of course OPEN TO ANYONE FROM ANY COUNTRY.

Whats up for grabs?? Well each winner gets 1500 Euros and we'll pick a total of 3. Now depending on the amount of submissions and the quality maybe we'll pick a few more like we did with the Popdeck contest, thats entirely up to you guys

So to recap:

-Typography contest. no theme

-Open to anyone

-1500 Euro prize with 3 winners

-Submissions are accepted between July 7th-21st

-Available on laFraise EU

We look forward to seeing your submissions.

I'm excited about this one, have fun guys!
