Glennz
The name itself doesn't even sound real. Even his full "Real" name doesn't sound real: Glenn Jones.
2 first names?....yeah right.
You may be asking yourself, why do you bring this up, Grandpa?

Well, if you look at Glennz's profile, you'll notice he never blogs. He rarely comments on anything, and he is almost a bit of a mystery. YET, he's won the threadless grandprize 8, that's right EIGHT times in last last 2 years or so. That's not even including the 12 month club prints he's had. This leads Grandpa to only one conclusion; Glennz is not real!!!

It is my theory that Glennz is actually a group of several artists paid by threadless to create designs. This way, everytime the prize goes to Glennz, threadless saves themselves $2000 ($1000 in the past). You now are probably asking yourself, "But what leads you to believe this Grandpa?"

My facts are clear:
1. "Glennz" claims to be from Auckland, New Zealand. Nobody is actually from New Zealand...they just say he's from there because what better place to pretend this made up man lives? The mystical world of New Zealand! Far enough from everyone on threadless that nobody will question it.
2.He has no URL on his profile. How could someone who creates such professional designs like Glennz not have a URL?
3.I've never seen Glenn Jones designs on any other shirt sites, you would think someone as amazing as this man would take his unprinted threadless designs elsewhere with the following he has. Or atleast start his own business. Every one of these designs would sell.
4.Glennz spelled backwards is Znnelg. That is a Swahili word that means "fabricated".
5. 51 above average-amazing submissions in less than 2 years? Unless aliens came down to earth and breed superhumans and I didn't hear about it....this is not possible.

Use this information any which way you choose to use it. Just remember, Grandpa told you FIRST!

i'm surprised no one has broken down his style evolution - the way he changed his style once all the designs became very glenn-esque as a result of his success.

I also find his adoration around here sort of creepy. and this idea of his infallibility as a design to be not entirely true. He's wicked talented but I think if anyone else did the last two subs that he had printed they wouldn't have gotten printed.

I have to disagree. I thought Prehistoric and Legendary were hilarious well before I happened to notice they were by Glennz. The man gets printed because people like what he does. He has a lot more that weren't printed than were.

I never look at the name of the designer first. I hardly ever even vote on his subs, because I dont vote that often anymore. I gave organized foodfight a 5$, then hit back on the browser to see who it was by. I almost did the same thing with prehistoric freak.

Im not sure why Im so contriversial on here - have a look at my Stats on that other blog, I think I have one of the lowest print ratio's per submission (12% I think), and there's quite a few high ranking that havent been printed like rock me amadeus

Rock Me Amadeus is awesome.

And Glennz, you're controversial because regardless of your ratio, you've got (I'm pretty sure) the most prints of anyone. And so people are going to talk about you. It's lonely at the top. :)

But it's just farcical to act like things only get printed because they're by Glennz, because as it keeps being pointed out he's got a crapload of unprinted stuff.

i think you should start a conspiracy thread about arzie13. that guy's a printing machine. i mean, 10 of his subs have been printed already. he's at a 22% rate! and with 29 fewer submissions than glennz. i bet he works for threadless too - oh wait...
