I’m guessing that if you read this blog, then you’re probably going to be a fan of
Beautiful/Decay, but you’re probably not the biggest fan of the prices of their clothing. Yeah, the high quality helps to justify the price, but don’t you wish that it was 10% cheaper? Luckily, your next order can be!

What I like about
Faveur is that they’re a Christian brand, and yet they haven’t been drawn into that niche (that I imagine could actually be quite profitable) of putting Jesus on every design, or being really preachy. Instead, they’re creating designs that you wouldn’t realise where representative of Christian values unless someone told you, and I think that sets the right kind of mood when it comes to designs that have been influenced by religion.

Whilst I severely doubt that this design will reach the pantheons of greatness that Tom’s other famous design,
the Communist Party, have achieved (it ain’t got no
Threadless juice!), this is a damn good t-shirt design.Costiness=$16

Blurb first, thoughts second:
Hunt Beauty, AK + Flower logo tee shirt. With pink print for the ultimate look. The graphic references militancy but actually represents the Kiser “Hunt Beauty” concept which is the pursuit of truth and originality.
I know that it isn’t what was intended, but when I look at this tee I can’t help but be reminded of the episode of the Simpsons where Homer puts a flower into the barrel of a rifle then has it shot into his head. Anyway, great looking graphic, printed nice and large, and the pink sits well on the brown, I approve!

Once again, the gypsy punks of Gogol Bordello, and specifically their Ukrainian lead singer Eugene Hütz, are the subject of one of Simon’s hand-painted tee designs.
I’m sure that a few of you will be reminded on a rather famous album cover from The Clash, which went on to be an extremely popular tee, when you take a look at this design. Just like the last Gogol Bordello tee, I’m drawn to this one because of the way that it represents the DIY ethic of punk, even though with the amount of time and effort that Simon puts into each tee (about six hours) it would probably be more cost-effective for him just to buy a tee from their merch stand, but clearly that isn’t the point, this tee is truly unique. Although, if you’d like one drop me an e-mail and we’ll work out how we can make it a bit less unique!
(It should probably be noted that this tee is © Jackie Canchola, and as such might suffer from a few copyright issues)
