Greek t-shirt designer yanmos, who has already been mentioned on HYA three times this year, is clearly a fan of the site, seeing as how he whipped up this mockup of a tee that combines two things I love, “I Heart…” tees and myself Hide Your Arms. Seeing thing like this makes me wonder if it might be a good idea to go down the ATshirtBlog and FAILShirt.org route and have a HYA shop setup at a print on demand site, where you could buy items like this that may have interest to a few fans but wouldn’t be popular enough to warrant me getting a load printed. Thoughts?
This Threadless submission has been doing the rounds on tee blogs recently, and it’s been receiving a lot of attention, I usually don’t mention Threadless submissions since you guys can’t buy them. It’s a fun design, but I think people may have been going a bit overboard with their praise of it, as surely the only thing Threadless can do with it is a photo print, which would look cool, but I can’t imagine it living up to the concept. Now, if Threadless kicked it up to the next level (and probably a level beyond that too) and made the design out of scraps of tees, that would be epic!
Oh, and it’s a fair bet that it’ll get printed, considering that Shimala seemed pretty impressed by the sub on Flickr (yes, I do have my detective hat on).
Check it out here.
It would be remiss of me not to mention that Micah of
ATshirtBlog.com (formerly tees.ms, or tee.ms, I can’t remember) is also going to be making that risky transition from ‘person who tells you which tees are good’ to ‘person who hopes his tees are good’
with the tee you can see above. His shirt is kind of a logo tee, the three yellow bars can be found on the favicon of the site and yellow is prominent in the design, so it’s a logo tee, but it’s a subtle one.
Micah writes what I think is one of the best t-shirt blogs out there, I like almost every tee he posts, and I’m pretty sure I steal more tees from him than anyone else (for posting, I’m not making the trip to San Francsico every week to rob the man), so I really hope that his venture in the tee world goes well.
Much like my effort, the shirt will be ‘coming soon’, and I’ll let you guys know of any developments.
I’m pretty sure that this release is being done as a halloween line, and if it isn’t, well, look at those shirts, how could you
not wear them on Halloween?
As I understand it, I Came From Nothing is a clothing line that is usually designed by one guy, whereas the artists series, as you’d expect, are designs created by a number of artists that have been invited to contribute to the line. The style of most of the artists isn’t particularly to my taste, but we all know that horror isn’t particularly my thing, though I can appreciate that ICFN have certainly got some talented artists on board, so it’ll be interesting to see how the artist series develops.
