This week, GearCrave is running a giveaway with DesignByHumans.com for 25 free t-shirts for GearCrave readers. We sat down with DesignByHumans co-founder Jason Gutierrez to talk about DesignByHumans, its inspiration, and a little bit about the man behind the business. Read on, fellow GearCravers, for some sage insight into one of the fastest growing t-shirt companies on the web.

For the uninitiated, describe the wonderment that is DesignByHumans.

DesignByHumans (DBH) is an online t-shirt design contest, community, and store where artists and graphic designers from around the world submit designs for a chance to win lots of cash and other cool stuff. Submitted designs are voted and commented on by the DBH community members to help decide which designs will be printed and sold in our online store. Each design has a chance of winning up to $3,500 in cash and prizes plus an additional $10,000 cash in royalties. A new winning design is announced each day of the week (Monday-Friday). Think American Idol meets t-shirt design.
