So last week I got an awesome tee, and it was a bit of surprise for me for two reasons, firstly I wasn’t expecting it and secondly I am not a fan of Khaki and I absolutely adore this tee!
The Cyclery are an Etsy store which specialize in Bicycle themed tees but they have their own vintage twist on it. Obviously because they don’t have a website with a huge ‘About Us’ section I can’t tell you too much about them. However what I will say is that their designs are original, perfect for fans of cycling or vintage ads (with a modern twist) and the quality of the tees are second to none.
I have had my tee for about 10 days and it’s been washed twice (yes I like it that much!) and it’s still in perfect, pristine condition.
A lot of their designs can appeal to both sexes and this company definitely isn’t afraid of colour. My personal favourite designs from their selection is probably the Liberator one that I got sent and the Jester one shown below.
Even though their tees are all ‘Cycling’ themed I am pretty sure most people can find one that they enjoy for one reason or another! So please drop by their Etsy store or give them a follow on Twitter or like on FB.
Some pretty good reprints to chat on about this week, some which have been added to the ‘Dee Wishlist’ for sure! It’s pretty lengthy now.
Totally epic B Movie humour hear and colour and comedy that pops ‘Aliens Gave My Cat a Beard’ by Steven Rhodes, is hilarious and in my opinion this is an obvious choice for reprint.
I find the next design to be quite a feminine one but it has been reprinted for guys, sol by Diogo Hornburg and Lucas Alcantara shows two beautiful song birds resting on a treble clef. I love how realistic and stylized the clef is.
My boyfriend, who is a photographer, is all over this design and it’s kind of like two Threadless tees he already owns mashed up together! Sky Aperture by Tang Yau Hoong is a really original design which it’s interesting but not in your face, and one where you see more detail the harder you look. Excellent Threadless tee!
This design is so funny, I am pretty sure I have blogged it before. Totally gutting that it has only been printed for guys though, I’d welcome this tee into my collection with open arms. Crayon Role Reversal No.147 by Nick Roberts would be the perfect gift for a slightly comedic and artistic friend!
Lastly for this Thursday Threadless blog, Invention of Colour by Ben Hartnett shows very well drawn retro cartoon characters in Black and White with a test tube of colour. Excellent concept, excellent execution!

For those of you more literary-minded, high society types, here’s some tasty pulp to sink your teeth into. We’d also like to showcase this book for which Shawn designed the cover and illustrations throughout. Nice! Shawn will also soon be featured in an upcoming interview at Z-magazine. Keep your eyes peeled for that one!
More about Shawn:
Turn-ons: Zombies, long walks on the beach, people who use the phrase, “Egads man!”, my kick ass wife & kids, the rest of my kick ass family, French toast, Guinness, horror & Sci-Fi, Dr. Who and To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
Turn-offs: Zombies that run faster than me, especially if it’s while I’m taking a long walk on the beach, people who use the word, “Whatever!”, lactose, chick flicks disguised as cool movies, liking said chick flick, bottled water, sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads and tinfoil across your teeth.
Andy: As usual, yes, I did mention this shirt on release day, but it’s clear that Tshirt Contest put a lot of effort into their submissions, and they make me laugh, so there’s no harm in taking a closer look at the design and desinger.

Not many new tees from Threadless this week but there are some pretty awesome ones, especially those pictures above!
Firstly this week because I adore the colour combination, the black with the ligt coloured print is so powerful. I also really like the design of ElectriciTree by Budi Satria Kwan, I especially think it works on the girly boat neck tee.
This tee looks almost like a brass rubbing or something, I love the gold and the brown and it’s normally a colour combination that I would associate with robot or futuristic type tees. I love the design of I Met A Robot by Danny Burgess showing a teeny man meeting a gigantic robot under the night sky.
I’m sure I have bored you previously how much I love tees that show food with a face, there is nothing not to love about a tee with a smiley fried egg on! Sunny Side Up by Aaron Jay gets some serious cuteness points, I kinda wish it had been on a brighter tee though!
Lastly for the tees this week, as there were only 5 this week. This tee is so eerie, I love a zombie tee as much as the next guy, this tee shows a zombie family and then in the reflection you can see how they were pre zombie. A Family Once by Jay Fleck is probably one of the most original designs I have see on Threadless in a long while! Well done Jay.
