Almost there!

by Andy on October 26, 2009

PICT2081 Large 480x360 Almost there!

That’s me with Monaco in the background, and before anyone says it, I hate my teeth.

One piece of blogging advice that I always remember is that you shouldn’t apologise for not posting, because if you have time to do that then you have time write posts of some value, but I’m a polite fellow, so sorry about my unexplained absence over the past few days. Today is my last day working in France, and tomorrow I will be setting off on the drive home to the Lake District in England. If all goes correctly I’ll be home on Thursday, so after a weekend of relaxing HYA will be back on form next Monday with a full posting schedule, not the sub-par offerings I’ve been giving you over the past couple of weeks.

Just so that this post wasn’t a total bust for those of you that don’t care where I am or what I’m doing (and really, why should you?), you can get 20% off this week at Seibei with the coupon code SPACEWITCH, and if you spend more than £30 in a single order at Disturbia before November 6th you’ll receive a free mystery t-shirt.

LON1 M BLGR 480x360 60% off everything at Acropolis Apparel (...yes please!)

It’s not often that coupon codes break that ever-so-wonderful barrier of 50%, so for one to hit the heights of 60% is quite marvelous too see. Use the coupon code HWEEN09 to claim the discount, and that code will last until October 30th. Their tees are typically $24 a pop, so with this code you will be paying a piffling $9.60 for a tee…. go! go! go!

Syncro Hood from Ucon

by Andy on October 21, 2009

black 480x528 Syncro Hood from Ucon

There’s no denying that on the face of it this is a simple hoodie, but is you start looking at the details you’ll notice that a lot of elements to it are different from the norm, and that’s what Ucon are all about.

Costiness=€69.99 Available from Ucon

Too Weird to Liv 4ad8a8f2c62c9 Too Weird to Live Too Rare to Die by Vig Tees

I could be way off the mark, and possibly expecting too much of you guys to know, but is the type treatment on this tee meant to be referencing a movie, I can’t help but feel that I’ve seen it before somewhere, but how would you even go about googling this kind of thing?

Costiness=$19 Available from Vig Tees

6be7c94e18effc860e77541c5339ee92 A Glimpse of the End of Days by againstbound at ShirtFight

ShirtFight aren’t doing contests anymore (the design competition world is too crowded anyway), so this design is the last winner of their contests, but I would imagine that as they’ve built up a good community that we shouldn’t worry about the quality of tees they’ll be releasing in the future.

Costiness=$13 (for now, it’ll probably go up to $18) Available from ShirtFight

Silence the Critics by Escape Artist

October 20, 2009

I feel like I should be really harsh about a tee called ‘Silence the Critics’ as that is essentially my job even if I don’t push the negative aspects of tees that often. Unfortunately, all I can come up with for this design is that I’d like to see the print be a bit larger, [...]

undeadWe from Chop Shop just in time for Halloween

October 19, 2009

We’re probably very near the point at which you can still buy tees with the intention of wearing them on Halloween, and if you’re in the mood for one you could certainly do a lot worse than this offering from Chop Shop (or just go to Coty’s epic Halloween post and go crazy). As is [...]

Exploded Hoodies & Polos

October 18, 2009

That title just gave me a great idea for a video… now I just need to work out how to blow hoodies and I’ll be a millionaire (an internet millionaire, not an actual millionaire). The popular Exploded series has expanded from tees to putting a couple of designs on hoodies and polos. I’d like to [...]

Three Wolf Moon worn by Dwight on The Office

October 18, 2009

This meme needs to die. I can let it slide on a TV show (especially a great one like The Office) because they film them months ahead, so it probably was funny when they shot the scenes, but I’m just sick of it now. [Image Source]

Thanks for the recycling love!

October 17, 2009

[I may not have re-made any tees recently, but I did make these strawberry cupcakes last week for my birthday party] My recent “How to customise & recycle your old t-shirts” post has received quite a lot of attention around the blogosphere, not quite to the levels of the Star Wars post (which made my [...]

Tolky Monkys Microstories Contest

October 16, 2009

Because I’m too busy eating frogs legs (taste just like chicken, I know everyone says that about unusual meats, but seriously, just like chikcen) and receiving blank stares from staff in French builders merchants (tu vend…. ummmm… this?), I’m not participating in the microstories contest this time around, but there are plenty of other blogs [...]

Slipscript by Lowdtown

October 14, 2009

Another quick France update, things are busier than I imagined here so HYA updates will be more sporadic than expected, but I’ll try to put a couple of posts together quickly every night before I go to bed, though it’s hard to motivate myself after a long day trying to talk to French people when [...]

Get 15% off at Fourth is King

October 14, 2009

As is often the case with HYA, I bookmarked this tee line a few weeks ago, forgot about it, and then got an e-mail from the owners reminding me that they existed. It’s a good thing they did, because the 3 designs they’re selling at the moment are very nicely done, and the 15% off [...]
