Another day, another back to school sale. This time its Johnny Cupcakes getting in on the action, so if you were one of the people refusing to buy a JC tee because they’re usually around $35 a pop, now you can complain that they’re around $25 a pop for a limited time.

Oh, and his LA store is open now, there’s tons of pictures on the site of the new store, for which there was a line of around 600 people for the opening (were they selling iPhones or something?).

Ding! Ding! Ding! I think we have a winner!

I’m really, really, impressed with the design selection that’s available from Squishi. Its great to see a company like this in the UK (they’re based in Wilthshire), even if the designs aren’t all done by British designers, because its good to see that there’s a growing number of options for us Brits that doesn’t involve having tees shipped across the Atlantic.

All the tees are printed on American Apparel, printed by Squishi themselves, and priced well considering they’re a British brand. As they say on their about page, on the UK high street people will happily pay £20+ for a t-shirt, and they have no idea what conditions that tee was made in, whereas Squishi tee is produced sweatshop free in LA then printed by a guy in Wiltshire, and its let than you’d probably pay on the high street.

I’ve had this design from Tee and Toast bookmarked for quite a while since I thought it was cute and funny, but since there has been a big furore recently over claims that Mr.T is homophobic (as if he was the one that wrote the script for a Snickers advert), I thought that he needed a bit of positive attention. This tee is clearly stating that Mr.T is concerned about people not drinking tea when it is potentially beneficial to your health. Thanks Mr. T!

The chances of you getting this cool looking t-shirt delivered to your doorstep are pretty slim, and by pretty slim I mean impossible, because it’s a one off that the designer did as a gift for a friend, but I thought it would be nice to point out what someone can do with some fabric markers and a lot of skill.

Gee, I haven’t posted anything from Karmaloop, have I?

Just from the name of the design it may be the case that a lot of you know what this tee is all about… the environment. Obey seem to be fairly involved with the 11th Hour Action group, the same group that brought us the Leonardo DiCaprio fronted The 11th Hour documentary last year, and this tee seems to be their way of promoting the group and the values that it represents.

Of course, the design is classic Shepard Fairey, although I would point out that the hands on the clock don’t actually seem to be pointing at 11 o’clock.

Rian Hughes, who is so well known in the UK that even I’ve heard of him (and I live in the middle of nowhere), has launched a couple of tee designs through his company, Device.

To be completely honest, the tees don’t actually excite me all that much, the prints look a bit small for my liking, and I don’t really understand the concept behind ‘Good not God’ (beyond it being for atheists), though I do think that the illustration for Chic Geek is pretty cute. The graphic novels listed underneath the tees on the page look awesome though, I think I might need to look into this Rian Hughes fellow a little more.
