Even if I haven’t mentioned it for a loooooooong time, I still really like the
Karmaloop Kazbah, it gives small up-and-coming brands a chance to mix it with established names, and from what I’ve heard, a lot of brands are very happy to be on there, so everyone wins!
And now you can be a winner too, because there’s a massive sale going on all over the Kazbah. No word on when it ends, so as I always say, if you want it, get on it.

I was watching Entourage last night (we’re only a week behind here in the UK, which unusually close for us) and I spotted Viking Quest’s very own Johnny Drama wearing a tee that I just
knew would be on the internet somewhere…
… and I was right! The design is by Worn Free, who recreate designs that were famously worn by musical heroes from ‘back in the day’ such as such as Kurt Cobain, Debbie Harry (who I once saw stood on the street in Amsterdam – true story) and this design, which was worn by Lester Bangs, a man I first encountered when he was played by Philip Seymour Hoffman in my favourite movie of all time, Almost Famous, who was in Mission Impossible 3 with Tom Cruise, who was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon.
It ain’t a cheap tee, but if you want to look like Johnny Drama then I’m pretty sure you’ve got bigger things to worry about than the amount a t-shirt costs.

Oh, and do you like my TV? 52 glorious inches! If only ITV broadcast entourage in HD.

I can’t believe that just one week after finding a t-shirt company with ‘funny’ designs and actually liking them I’ve managed to find another, its crazy, whatever next? Enjoying a movie from the American Pie franchise that isn’t the first one?
No, no, that would be going too far. Still Anti-Clothes have have a pretty good range, and they run the gamut that runs far beyond the reaches of ‘funny’ (I’m sorry about the quotation marks, they just feel necessary when I write about ‘funny’ tees) towards the more serious end of things on the design scale too.

50 entries, not a bad job guys, I’m sure you’ve helped to make my four months in Philadelphia more interesting than they would have been if I were to just go off what the guide books tell me.
To find the winning number for the random prize of a $50 Threadless Gift Certificate and the ‘Animals With Eyepatches! Yes!‘ t-shirt (which recently won the Threadless Loves Lollapalooza contest), I simply used the random integer generator to pick a number between 1 and 50 (yes, there were 51 comments, but I left one of them), and the number that random.org picked as the winner was…..
….
Number 41!
I’m really glad that Brian was the winner of the prize after he left such a great comment, filled with lots of (presumably) great advice, his comment was so good that I was considering giving it the second place prize of “Andy’s favourite comment,” but it would be unfair to let just one person be a winner, so I had to look at them again. I could’ve gone with Amy’s comment suggesting I visited the factory making the soft cheese, or go with Noddy, who would have had me trailing around Philly hunting for the mythical Fresh Prince of Bel Air museum (there are rumours that it can be found in West Philadelphia).
Then there was Danielle, who gave lots of excellent suggestions, even pointing out a Japanese restaurant to me, which suggests she knows a little bit about the Andy-man. She even kindly offered to hang out with me, I can’t decide whether that was out of pity or because I look good in that Russian submariner’s hat in the initial contest post! Admit it, I do look good. Congratulations Danielle, spend your $25 Threadless gift certificate wisely!
I’ll contact both winners soon to ask for their details, and thanks again to everyone who got involved, and shame on all that didn’t!

Designing tees when your hoping that graphic designers will buy them must be a pretty tough task, you’re selling to people that will be judging you far more than most demographics of tee buyers. I think that Artefacture are up to task far more than most brands, and most of this line proves me right (there’s a couple of tees that I’m not jumping for joy about, I’ll let you decide which those might be).

Mila Kunis is back on HYA once again, and this time she’s getting all political and stuff with a ‘Barack the Vote’ t-shirt, its probably a good thing I can’t vote in American elections (on account of me not living there), because I’d probably probably try and trade my vote for a date with her, I know that’s just a little bit sad and pathetic… but seriously, have you
seen her!
Just for a change in these celebrity posts, I actually know where the tee comes from (shocked? me too!), although admittedly the research was almost laughably easy. If you don’t want the design as a white t-shirt, it is also available as a tank top, hoodie, even a onesie.
