I was perusing
Coty Gonzales’ excellent blog earlier today when I spotted this cool-as-hell concept from a company called
Nodbod. Basically, you send them a picture, and they make it an all-over print on a tee. You obviously don’t have to use your own face, but I do think it’s one of the funniest applications of this service. Some of you may recognise the guy
in the photo as
Jake Nickell, one of
Threadless‘ founders, and the self-proclaimed “coolest dude on Earth.” It takes some balls to have your own face enlarged and put onto a t-shirt, bravo Jake!
The tees don’t run particularly cheap (circa $40), but what do you expect from an all-over POD company? If you don’t fancy creating something yourself they also have a growing collection of their own, which includes a design by AJ Dimarucot.
krudmart is one of those stores that just keeps on keeping on, and a quick look at their brand list shows you why they’re so popular. 2k By Gingham, Kidrobot, The Hundreds, Monsieur T, Fuct, Cheap Monday, and I could keep on going, but it would just be overkill. They’ve done a redesign/website overhaul/web-sexification that went live earlier in the week and I give a thumb up, waaayyy up. The vast majority of the front page content is devoted to their blog, a blog which rarely and barely says anything about Krudmart’s business. I don’t know why I like it so much when companies seem to make not selling stuff a priority on their website, but when they do, it actually makes me want to buy stuff off them more… which may be why they do it… either way, there’s lots of cool stuff on the all-new Krudmart, so check it out.
Oh, and did you know that they have a bricks & mortar store in Buffalo, NY?
I really like this design, the block of colour work really well against the black background, but I can’t help but think that in it’s present form it has the look of a t-shirt that you’d buy after a gig, you know what I mean?
I’d like to see the blocks taking up more real estate on the chest, so that the colour was a bit more dominant.
