Cat holding an RPG, who doesn’t want to see that? Our new range by super-awesome artist Dan Charnley.

Andy: The shirts above don’t really appeal to me, nothing wrong with them at all they’re just not for me, however there is a lot of other designs in their store that I like the look of so be sure to click through.

Spotted on the Internet last week: a gallery of fake cereal box designs, most with a sugary, pop culture twist. Some of these have likely appeared previously on HYA, but two of my faves are posted below; you can see the rest here or by clicking on the image squares below.

Andy: Frankly, it’s surprising that it has taken this long for someone to come up with this concept since it’s been done several times before with startup companies who won’t have nearly as cool looking merch. With the popularity of “Earl’s Truck Stop” style designs for fake businesses I can see this idea doing well. Thanks for the coupon guys!

What up guys and Andy. Have you ever wondered why the sky turns orangy/red? It has been said that when Angels and Demons wage war against each other, the heavens turn red. The last battle will permanently turn the skies red. The battle between pure Good and true Evil.

We present to you Red Heaven by Geno75. Get yours at http://store.twinserpents.com

Thanks for reading.

Andy: Good stuff, thanks for the submission!

We wanted our designs to be simple and clean and if they were text based, they carried a positive message. We realized that the graphic tee had become an integral part of today’s wardrobe. For the youth and young adult, of the “School age”, the casual wear, specifically t-shirts have replaced the school uniform. Colleges and Universities have a little more freedom, but still mindful that what their students chose to wear must be acceptable. Even businesses that allow for the casual dress or casual dress Fridays, have to be selective of the type of clothing they allowed to be worn in the workplace. We’ve tried to create designs that were unique, no profanity, no questionable content, no emotionally charged slogans and more importantly, visually appealing.

Andy: I was thinking to myself “hey cool, they have their own jeans, that’s impressive” and then I realised that no, they actually just have the tees, so I don’t really know what they’re getting at in these promo pictures, but they do look pretty cool.

I’m sure that a lot of you will have heard of TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors), a charity that helps the families of people that have lost someone who was serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. There’s almost a danger of t-shirt designs around this subject being too patriotic, but Sevenly have managed to create designs that can appeal across national lines since I’d wear these even though I’m not American.

Hey Andy,
I’m a comedy writer, actor and filmmaker here in Los Angeles and I host all my work at JohnnyBiceps.com.. There’s 20+ original shorts, short films and sketches.

A couple years ago I put the name (JohnnyBiceps) on t-shirts to promote my blog, and people were asking where they could get the shirt because they thought the name was funny/catchy. Current date, JohnnyBiceps has become a comedy lifestyle brand (maybe the first?) – for those who have a sense of humor, but don’t want or need a loud graphic or funny saying on their shirt to “prove” it.

A lot of new clothing items (hats, polos..) and other branded merch is in the works.

Jon

Andy: Since I have no familiarity with the brand, this shirt/design doesn’t appeal to me, it doesn’t have enough stand alone value for me to think that it’s funny or interesting since it’s just a text tee. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I feel that there needs to be other designs for this to branch out beyond the fans of the comedy side of things to new people, which is what I’d presume Jon is trying to do since he’s submitting to a site like HYA.
