Monsieur T.: Spring Line available!

by Andy on May 13, 2008

Monsiuer T. have dropped their Spring line which looks totally awesome, every design a potentially popular tee on Rumplo (except for the single hat of the collection). One of them was even worn by a member of The Roots on the freakin’ Colbert Report! See!

Apparently, stocks are very limited for this line so get on it if you want something.Monsieur T. Spring Line

079 05 lrg Concrete Hermit: Limited edition eBoy t shirts

I was really excited to hear that Concrete Hermit were going to continue releasing a t-shirt to go with their exhibitions when I found out that eBoy was coming to town.I’m in the middle of cooking dinner so here’s an excerpt of the press release to give you the details:

Hand screen-printed in London these t-shirts show a detail from eBoyâ€™s colour rich panoramic cityscape of Los Angeles.

20070902 miss world Miss World by Atypyk

Its a bit of a pity that the product picture of this tee actually shows the packaging, lovely though it is, rather than the t-shirt itself. I think, think, that the tee is meant to look like a glittery winners sash from the Miss World competition. I like the theory, I like the execution, I like the fact it comes in one size fits all (fits all Miss Worlds, presumably) and I like the blurb, which is actually an odd bio for one of the designers (Ivan Duval):

1967 NOT MY CHOICE, BUT FRANCE IS A GOOD PLACE TO BE BORN. ONLY CHILD.
1968-85 ?
1986 ADVERTISING SCHOOL.
1988 WORKS IN SMALL ADVERTISING AGENCY.
1988 MEETS JEAN SÃ‰BASTIEN.
1989 FIRST COLLABORATION WITH JEAN SÃ‰BASTIEN, MAKES OBJECTS WITH PLANE PARTS.
1989 FIREMAN FOR 1 YEAR
1990 SPENDS 3 MONTHS IN NEW YORK, DOING EVERYTHING AND NOTHING.
1990 WORKS IN ANOTHER SMALL ADVERTISING AGENCY.
1991 MEETS LOVE.
1990 WORKS IN ANOTHER SMALL ADVERTISING AGENCY.
1992 WORKS IN BIG ADVERTISING AGENCY. FINALLY.
1997 FIRST AND LAST EXHIBITION AS A PAINTER.
1999 QUITS ADVERTISING.
1999 STARTS ATYPYK.
1999 DAD FOR THE FIRST TIME. TWO LITTLE BOYS (TWINS).
2003 LOOKING FOR A NEW PLACE TO LIVE WITH MY FAMILY. PARIS DISTRICT 10.
2004 FINALLY FOUND THE NICEST FLAT IN THE WORLD.
2005 ATYPYK TAKES OVER THE US
2007 LOOKING AGAIN FOR A NEW PLACE TO LIVE WITH MY FAMILY. PARIS DISTRICT 10. ANYONE ?

Odd, but its a bit more interesting than most bios you read. No word on price, but you can make an enquiry at the link if you would like to buy one.

*Ivan got in touch to say thanks for the post, and also sent over a picture of the tee being worn, it certainly looks better on a blonde model than in a plastic wrapper!

Teetonic: Design the official T in the Park tee

prizes Teetonic: Design the official T in the Park tee

Its times like this that I really wish that I knew how to design t-shirts, because I’d really, really, like to see Rage Against the Machine, but they seem to sell out everywhere that they play. But luckily for Brit designers, Teetonic have teamed up with T in the Park to give you an opportunity that money can’t buy!*

All you have to do is design a tee for the music festival, which I presume is pretty simple**, and if your design is chosen then you’ll win 2 weekend camping tickets for the very sold out festival (the lineup for which includes The Verve, The Chemical Brothers, Rage Against the Machine, REM, The Prodigy, Aphex Twin, Justice, Ian Brown, Primal Scream, MGMT, Hot Chip), a two man tent, two sleeping bags, two roll mats, five of the competition winning tees, and Â£100 in Teetonic vouchers.Considering this tee will probably be bought by thousands of festival-goers, I think that the prize package is actually a little light, but I guess that if you’re a t-shirt designer then being able to say that you designed an official tee for one of the UKs biggest music festivals would be pretty good for your portfolio, but some cash to cover your expenses at the festival probably wouldn’t have gone amiss. The competition is open for submissions until May 30th.

Teetonic: T in the Park t-shirt design competition

*Well, it can, if you’re willing to pay through the nose for a ticket on eBay.

Need a Website or MySpace designer?

I know that there a few people who read HYA that want to start their own t-shirt lines (I’m one of them… eventually friends, eventually), so when I found this list on Emptees of website and MySpace designers that would probably be of help to those of you that know how to design a badass t-shirt, but don’t know the first thing when it comes to designing a website.

Here’s another tee from the ‘I found it on Flickr, it has an “all rights reserved” copyright, but I like it and hope that the author won’t be too pissed about me posting’.I don’t know if its for sale, from the looks of things the uploader is a graphic designer so I think this tee might be a mock-up rather than a real product, though looking at his blog there are quite a few submissions to design competitions like DBH and Threadless, so maybe we’ll see this popping up somewhere at some point (vague much?). Wyel does have a cool looking portfolio site though that you’ll probably enjoy perusing.
