Outstanding typographic skull design by Joby Cummings

by Andy on February 28, 2010

in Not Clothes, T-shirts

skull typography t-shirt

I actually got an e-mail about this shirt a month ago, and I really wish I’d paid a lot more attention to it now because it’s pretty incredible really. In case you can’t quite see it, the skull is made up of the seven deadly sins written in some pretty great type. Good size print, and a wearable design too.

Costiness=$20 Buy it from Joby Cummings (also available as a print)

by Andy on February 27, 2010

in News, Not Clothes, Text/Typography

typography t-shirt book

It’s Saturday, so hopefully you’ll forgive me for just copy/pasting this e-mail from the people putting the book together:

TypoShirt One – Call for entries

TypoShirt One is about typography on T-shirts. It is definitely not the first publication that deals with the topic of “T-shirts”, but it’s the first one that focuses exclusively on the typography phenomenon in T-shirt culture. Only shirt motifs created explicitly with typographic means shall be presented in this publication. There are no fees, it’s totally cost free!

We would like to invite everybody to contribute to the book TypoShirt One, the typography T-shirt compendium. The book will be published at Index Books in 2010.

We invite everybody to submit their own projects for this publication, bringing together typographic designs of T-shirts from all over the world, showing quotes, sentences, words, letters and numbers or any other typographic pieces of work.

Participation or having work selected for TypoShirt One is totally cost free on your part. Also, if your work is selected, you’ll get a free copy of the book.

Deadline to enter your submissions is 19th of March 2010.

Please check our website. At http://typoshirt.magmabranddesign.de you’ll find all participation requirements.

We hope, you’ll be on board!

Sounds pretty cool to me, since seeing yourself in print is always fun.

Artybuzz: The latest entrant into the POD art arena

by Andy on February 17, 2010

in Label Profiles, Not Clothes, T-shirts

Artybuzz

Artybuzz are a British company that will print and sell your art as tees and ‘hangable’ prints (obviously you can hang a tee, but I think you all understand the differentiation I’m making here). You could say that they sound an awful lot like MySoti and redbubble, as all three companies offer roughly the same service – POD tees and art prints – and if you look at the Artybuzz and RedBubble homepages you could easily say that they look pretty similar too.

Much like I don’t feel that there is really a problem with new t-shirt design contests opening every few weeks (just because Threadless & DBH are huge doesn’t mean there’s no room for others), I don’t have a problem with there being new POD companies springing up, from a consumer point of view the extra choice can only be a good thing. I haven’t yet had any e-mails or links sent to me from artists asking me to check out their Artybuzz page yet, but they are quite a new company so I think that as artists find out about them they’ll grow because they seem to offer a good service at good prices. It would be nice if they had some examples of physical artwork and tees that they’ve printed out on the site, because that will always be how sites like this will be judged, on the quality of their products, and if you’re proud of what you produce you should be showing it off for every visitor to see.

At the moment I think it is more of an art site than a tee site, there is some lovely art on there, but with them being fairly new it’s hard to tell where they’ll be heading in the future, so whilst they don’t look quite as polished as their POD brethren yet, hopefully they can bring in enough talent to the community to reach that tipping point where they can bust out and really grow.

Hide Your Arms gets its own designer toy… kind of

15.02.2010
Thumbnail image for Hide Your Arms gets its own designer toy… kind of

So much for me trying to stop this blog being so HYA-centric at the moment, but when you release your own tee (still on sale folks!), get mentioned in a respected magazine, and have your logo turned into a pair of cufflinks these things need to be mentioned.
The lady in my life made this figure [...]

Turn an old t-shirt into a laptop sleeve

Thumbnail image for Turn an old t-shirt into a laptop sleeve

I’m sure there are cheaper ways to do this, but for $49 Hello Rewind will send you an envelope, you put a t-shirt in it, send it back to them, they turn it into a cool laptop sleeve, and then send it back to you. Part of your purchase also goes to help stopping the [...]

Cool Crochet Beanies from BMC Handmade [Review]

Thumbnail image for Cool Crochet Beanies from BMC Handmade [Review]

It’s not often that you’ll see the word ‘cool’ and ‘crochet’ within a few miles of each other, but this is definitely one of those times. I can’t lie, I was pretty skeptical that I would like these hats when BMC Handmade offered to send a few hats to my way, and my policy is [...]

Lowdtown’s Winter Line

Thumbnail image for Lowdtown’s Winter Line

Since you guys know Ray from Lowdtown is the creative force behind the new HYA logo, and responsible for the tee in the HYA store, you’d think that there’s no way I’d be able to give him a fair and unbaised review… and you’d be right. So I’m not going to. Instead, here’s some cool [...]

New tees from Johnny Cupcakes

Thumbnail image for New tees from Johnny Cupcakes 18.01.2010

Is that tee with the peacock feather on it meant to be a parody/tribute/homage to Jimmy Eat World’s Chase the Light album, or is it just a cool design?
Anyway, a solid release from the Johnny Cupcakes team.

Oxymoron: This is a Normal Watch

17.01.2010

I know it’s not going to be a particularly high quality watch, I wouldn’t swap it for the lovely Hugo Boss watch I got for my 21st birthday, for example, but if you want a fun accessory (and us guys don’t get to accessorise very often) then you could do a lot worse than this [...]
