So, I write about robot tees months ago and all of a sudden everyone is selling them. I’m not saying that I’m a barometer of style, but… okay, that’s exactly what I’m saying, I can’t wait to see what design trend I cause next!*
Ten Bills are back (even though they barely went away) with their fifth series, title Robot Rebellion, and its a really strong set of releases. What I like about Ten Bills is that they don’t necessarily stick to one certain style set, which I guess is fairly natural since they have a few artists, but it is still pretty easy for brands like Ten Bills falling into a safe routine of releasing tees that look similar in style, so I applaud them for avoiding that. My personal fave from this bunch? Blazin’ Glory on Forest Green by Bobby Liquori (4th from the left in the above pic).

*I do not actually believe that I cause design trends… yet

I’ve clearly gone a bit Asian with today’s product picks, first a tee from Hong Kong, and now a
hoodie from a store in mainland China.This hoodie totally reminds me of the infamous
Shark hoodie by A Bathing Ape, except happy rather than angry, and not a shark… so basically the only connection is that these two
hoodies have a zip which goes all the way over your face, and a printed face on it. Meh, that’s still a connection!

I spotted this Hong Kong-based brand on Flickr a few months ago and forgot to post about them for some reason. I realise now what that reason might be, I don’t know how you actually buy the stuff. I’ve found their website, but I can’t work out anything past that, and not just because I can’t read Cantonese (I have a phrasebook, but that’s of no help as I’m not asking them where a restaurant is). Even by clicking around I can’t really achieve anything, so if you can work it out then I’d appreciate someone making a comment, but if not, just enjoy the pictures.

I once tried to bring back some words from the 80s into the regular chatter of my circle friends a while back, but it turns out that saying ‘radical’ when you mean that something was ‘good’ wasn’t a radical idea back then and it still isn’t particularly radical. Needless to say, I failed in my mission.

I neglected to tell you about Glenn Jones’ (better known as Glennz, who has had many tees printed by Threadless) new tee store a few weeks ago when everyone else was mentioning it. It’s not that I don’t like the designs, I just forgot to do it, but hopefully I can make it up to you by posting about the three newest designs that went on sale at his store a couple of days ago.
My fave is ‘
Team Photo‘, it suits Glennz style really well, ‘
Haunted Housework‘ is pretty funny and works well as a tee since there’s still a lot of people out there that love Ghostbusters, but I’m not really a big fan of ‘
After Hours‘, possibly because I’m more of a pirate person than ninja person, though the image is pretty funny.
