Across the Univers from Typography Shop

August 22, 2008

Apparently, there are other fonts out there that people get typographical boners for other than Helvetica, and I guess that Univers is one of those fonts. I know nothing about fonts, so here’s my take on Unviers; it looks really dynamic, so I’d imagine that if this font were able to deliver packages it would [...]

itself are opening up Pandora’s Box

August 22, 2008

itself (yeah, no capitalisation even though its the start of a sentence, that’s just how they roll) have hit another one out of the park with their latest competition winner, called Pandora’s Box, by an artist called Draco who I haven’t heard of before but would be happy to see popping up on my browser [...]

Wordans, another option in the custom shirt world

August 22, 2008

Ok, so you’ve got Cafepress, Zazzle, Spreadshirt, ShirtCity and a whole host of others that I’m forgetting, but you know what Wordans has that the others don’t? They’re Canadian! I guess I’m being a bit flippant, Wordans do appear to offer a good service, plenty of high quality products, direct to garment printing for regular [...]

La Dolce Vita by a.mar.illo for Wooshka

August 22, 2008

Wooshka have been doing pre-releases of new designs recently, allowing members to get the jump on the public for fresh tees, and get a pretty nifty discount at the same time. This tee, for example is $14 on pre-order, and will got up to its normal price of $20 at some point in the future [...]

Glennz strikes gold again with ‘Before Stardom’

August 21, 2008

What was Kermit the Frog before he was famous? Cynics would probably say that he was a pile of fabric, plastic and possibly wood, or whatever it is that you use to make a puppet. I prefer to live in a ridiculous world of make believe where I’m famous, spinach is poison (if you get [...]

5 ‘new’ tees from Wrongwroks

August 21, 2008

I guess I could put ironic air-quotes around everything that Wrongwroks release since the vast majority of their work is based upon pop culture mashups, but in this case its because some of the designs have already been released in different colourways. Even though the designs aren’t particularly new the photos look pretty great. Wrongwroks [...]

Biking Viking by Dudes Who Like To Party

August 21, 2008

I can’t decide whether I’d actually wear this tee, I’m not that into wearing tees with illustrated puke on them, but I must admit that it is a beast of a design. It’s a collaboration between Horsebites Design, Derek Deal and Team Doom, a group who, I’m sure you’ll agree, all have rather respectable design [...]

Toykyo proves that there is something interesting in Belgium

August 21, 2008

When I took my mini break earlier this week it was because I headed down to London to wave goodbye to this guy since he moved to Brussels yesterday. In the interests of maintaining a decent segue I thought it would be appropriate to post Toykyo, a Belgian-based production and design company that also sell [...]

See politics through sepia-tinted glasses at Retro Campaigns

August 20, 2008

Retro Campaigns have released seven new tees, based upon their winning formula of popular political designs from the past, which I’m sure you guys might find refreshing if you’re feeling a bit of political burnout from the relentless coverage of Obama vs McCain.

Beibei the rights abusing panda

August 20, 2008

Bravo to Karl for posting/finding this tee, of a mascot that didn’t make the cut for Beijing 2008, though I do probably find it funnier because it immediately reminded me of the South Park episode with the Sexual Harassment Panda in it, a clip of which I’ve embedded below. Costiness=$28 Buy the tee here

It’s Seibei’s birthday… so you get a present!

August 20, 2008

David, who you may well know as the guy behind Seibei, turned 26 earlier this week, so he decided to give the rest of us a present in the form of 26% off everything in the store. Just use the coupon code BIRTHDAY in the checkout to get the discount, but make sure you’re quick [...]

Surprisingly, I’m not staying at the Ritz

August 17, 2008

Hey guys, just so you didn’t think I’d gone MIA I thought I’d better tell you that I’m down in the land of M.I.A, London (or as we Northerners call it, ‘that London’), for a couple of days, so no posts until Tuesday. If there’s no posts by Wednesday, panic and form search parties, I [...]

Back To School Bake Sale at Johnny Cupcakes

August 15, 2008

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 [...]

I want to hug Squishi, because their designs are awesome

August 15, 2008

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 [...]

Mr. T pities fools that don’t drink tea

August 15, 2008

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 [...]

handmade t-shirt by … s u s …

August 15, 2008

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 [...]

The 11th Hour by Obey at Karmaloop

August 15, 2008

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 [...]

Noted British Graphic Designer Starts A Clothing Line

August 15, 2008

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 [...]

Marilyn Sane by RikkiB for In The Dryer

August 14, 2008

RikkiB has hit another out of the park with this design. I really like the way that the dot matrix halftones (my bad!) of Marilyn is contrasted with the solid colours of the Ziggy Stardust lightning bolt. Oh, and as if my recommendation wasn’t enough, this design was tee of the day over at Emptees [...]

interlocking lives, lines, and transit lanes by Polynothing for Deisgn By Humans [Rumplo Rocks]

August 14, 2008

It’s not that often that I see a t-shirt and actually stop and think “wow,” but this did managed to achieve that. The style feels reminiscent of Kozyndan to me, and that is almost always a good thing. I’m afraid its only available in sizes S and XXL at the moment, hopefully it will get [...]
