Concrete Hermit have redesigned their website to bring their various arms (publishing, the gallery, the store, and the social network) together into one happy, easily navigable site. Here’s the press release that says what I just said:
All the hard work at Concrete Hermit HQ has finally paid off with the launch of the brand new website. We have linked up the store with the Concrete Hermit network, publishing and gallery sites. So now you get your full Hermit fix in one place. If you are not already a member of the Concrete Hermit network, join up now and create your own page where you can put up images of your work, get involved with projects and much more. If you have some special news or if there’s anything you want people to hear about, upcoming exhibitions etc. you can now submit your news to us for inclusion on our new homepage via the form on the site.
I like the new look, it is a lot easier to look around and get a feel for CH this way, and my one gripe about the gallery site has been fixed, they now have a map showing you where it is. I’d like to think that happened because of me, but I severely doubt that’s the case. Quite a few new items have been put on sale to celebrate the relaunch, so head on over to the store to see if there’s anything you fancy the look of.

Jake Nickell, one of the two Jakes from
Threadless, has written up a post for Etsy telling you all about his favourite t-shirt stores and designs on there.
Read it here.
A great range of tees that deserve far more words of description than this, click on through to find out for yourself.
ColtesseI know that some people out there don’t like to spend $35 on a tee, and so avoid Johnny Cupcakes like the plague. But what if I were to tell you that you could get some pretty darned cool designs for $25 and $20, would that be something you’d be interested in? (Why must Entourage be on such a long break!)
There’s a couple of classic cupcake & crossbones colourways in the sale, and I think that a decent tee collection should probably contain one of those (I guess I’ll need to make a purchase then!), so this could be an opportunity to fill in that gap. I’m pretty sure that the bake sale section is ongoing, so keep checking back to see if one of your favourites has been dropped into the mixer before it goes to the big oven in the sky.

Great use of negative printing and a minimal colour template. A really cool print running along the back lower edge too. And look, a giraffe!

AITA have dropped a new tee and it is a shout-out to a
music blog from Philly that apparently has really big teeth. As I’ve mentioned before this week, I’m a bit pushed for time writing posts, so I’m going to hand you over to the rather eloquent folks at AITA to do the job for me.
Art In The Age Creative Director Ben Woodward gives a shout out to Philly’s music blog with really big teeth, The Walrus.( http://www.walrusmusicblog.com) The big, music loving personality of this oversized and lovable friend of the sea is expressed perfectly in Ben’s larger-than-life illustration. Available in two color palettes: “Lo Fi” Gray-on-Gray or “Experimental” Turquoise-on-Turquoise”
The tees will be available in men’s sizes Small-Large for $28 and will be released tomorrow [oh, sorry, guess I probably should have posted this yesterday...]. Art in the Age will also be giving away 3 tees to 3 lucky winners in the next 3 weeks!
I’d usually think that grey on grey is the blandest colourway possible, but its actually pretty cool in this case.
