Pretty solid week at BustedTees, I think my favourite is the Sonic shirt, sure, it’s simple and the ‘fake track team’ concept has been done many times before, but I’m a child of the 80s and this kind of thing appeals to me now.

gama-go t-shirts

GAMA-GO will be releasing their latest season (which will see a quite epic number of tees being added to their store) next week, but before that they’re holding a big sale, with all their shirts dropped down to $18 for 48 hours, which is actually more like 46 hours at the time of writing, and probably less by the time you’ve read this. Basically, the sale started at 11am PST today and will be going on until 11am PSt on March 2nd. Their tees are usually $28 a piece so this does represent a really good saving.

LaunchHype2 480x319 Keepon Collective Winter 2012 Release [Submitted]
LaunchHype3 480x320 Keepon Collective Winter 2012 Release [Submitted]

Keepon Collective is a new clothing brand out of Vancouver, Canada. Our goal is to develop into more than just a company that you bought a cool shirt from. We want to form relationships with our customers, in hopes of spreading the idea that if there are other like-minded people out there going through tough times, we can each find it within ourselves to conquer obstacles and personal struggles to reach personal success, and ultimately, happiness.This philosophy mainly draws itself from the idea that most people let too many things hold them back in life. Time. Money. Looks. Circumstance. Stereotypes. Doubt. Fear. However, it shouldn’t be these factors that define us, but the attitude with which we respond to such obstacles.

Andy: Unusual to see a brand launch that has a crewneck and a hoodie in the opening release, usually people just have a few tees. Then again, they’re from Vancouver so I doubt it’s really tee weather there at the moment. Good submission and some solid designs, looking forward to seeing the the future brings for these guys.

Our friends at Sticker Mule want to give two winners $100 in free stickers. Sticker Mule is an awesome custom sticker printer, and good people to know if you’re a t-shirt shirt designer. They print very high quality vinyl stickers, I used them earlier this month when I wanted some Rigu stickers making and I was very impressed with what I received (and I paid for the service, this competition happening now is a complete coincidence). They make ordering as simple as possible, making your artwork print ready for free, provide a free online proof with every order, and responding quickly to support requests.

Here are some shots of their work:

To Enter: There are two ways to enter, and two ways to win. Firstly, you can leave a comment on this blog post saying what you’d do with the store credit, or secondly, you can tweet the following message:

rib cage customs

sam sunset mod  94389 zoom 480x479 50% off at Rib Cage Customs to celebrate the Leap Year
Y’know, thinking about it, it’s kind of weird that every four years we just add a day into the calendar and act like that’s a normal thing to do. Madness.

Anyway, Rib Cage Customs have had the bright idea of celebrating February 29th with a massive 50% off coupon code. The magic word to use during checkout is LEAP50 and will be live from now until midnight on February 29th (aka this time tomorrow).

Threadless “Make Great Together” video makes working there seem fun

February 28, 2012

Seeing this video makes me feel a little bit bad that I keep all the HYA writers locked in a dungeon and I sent them coal for Christmas (I’m kidding, I’m kidding, they got nothing for Christmas). Seriously though, the video above is an excellent primer for someone that’s never heard of Threadless before, it [...]

SS’12 from Supremebeing drops at Street Casuals

Thumbnail image for SS’12 from Supremebeing drops at Street Casuals

These Supremebeing shirts at Street Casuals are a bit of a departure from the usual HYA fayre of printed graphics, but I quite like the change. There’s lots of strong and bold colourways here that I think would look really good being paired up with a lightly more muted top layer like a darker jakcet [...]

Fans of the SyFy show ‘Warehouse 13′ will be quite excited by this design at TeeFury. Funnily enough I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Terminator-themed boomerang t-shirt before, well done to Shirt.Woot for introducing me to something new. An adorable organic Doctor Who Dalek at RIPT today.

As a 27 year old guy I’m sure it won’t surprise you to know that I’m not really up on my “80s cartoons aimed at girls that only lasted for 3 seasons” but apparently I am on the wrong side of pop culture in this case, because Mighty Fine/welovefine.com (I don’t really know what I’m [...]

“Pandamonium” t-shirt from Speakeasy [Submitted]

February 28, 2012

So you love pandas & flamboyant face-paint power rocking. Then you and Speakeasy will get along just fine! Speakeasy donates %15 profit of each shirt to the good people over at Pandas International. If more Pandas listened to KISS, we’d probably have more Pandas. Andy: Whenever I hear the term ‘pandamonium’ I’m reminded of the [...]

“Color Burst” is a ticking time bomb of creativity at A Better Tomorrow

Thumbnail image for “Color Burst” is a ticking time bomb of creativity at A Better Tomorrow

I think that this is one of my favourite designs at A Better Tomorrow for quite a long time. That said, I feel that putting a colourful design like this onto a heather grey shirt washes it out a bit, thought that may have been the point of the choice of blank. Costiness=22€ Buy it [...]

New at Threadless this Week (27/02/2012)

February 27, 2012

It’s save to say that Threadless are very much playing it safe with the newbie tees this week. Lots of black, white and red! One stand out tee and a lot of misc. Firstly as monotone tees go, Threadless has lots of them and I don’t think this one is the best. Gray Destiny by [...]

Another week and two more lovely tees from laFraise

Thumbnail image for Another week and two more lovely tees from laFraise

To be honest with you I can’t decide which of these laFraise t-shirts that I like more, they’re both really nice and quite different from one another, but I think I’ll have pick the skateboarder jumping over the moon simply because I don’t know if I’d be able to wear that light red colour. Fun [...]

‘Jack of All Trades Masters of None’ is the latest design from the ever-excellent Random Objects, and the fun part about this tee is that it actually comes with two #2 pencils which I think is a really neat touch that does add to the experience. The anchor shirt has previously been seen on a [...]

Thumbnail image for 8-bit Pac Man/Pizza Man t-shirt from Super7

My parents aren’t really into computer games, but I do remember back in the early 90s when we had an Acorn A2000 (yes, I am that old school) that they would obsessively play Pac-Man after I went to bed, I wonder if that has anything to do with how I spend 12+ hours a day [...]
