It’s funny, I’ve made it pretty clear that I really dislike cereal box designs, but I rather like comic book cover designs even though they share a lot of the same elements, especially when they’re based on an actual comic book. It’s probably because the artwork made for a cover is meant to have an immediate impact and tell the story without needing any explanation, so it works well for a shirt. I like the way that 80sTees have captioned this picture as well, “Meet Chad. He is 5′ 7″ tall and weighs 182 pounds. He is wearing size Large.” It seems a little silly but that’s actually great information for people trying to make a best guess on how a shirt is going to fit them, it would be great to see more people giving this kind of info with their product photos.

Not a bad week at Tshirt Laundry, but I do wonder who is going to buy them. Releasing a Star Trek design now makes perfect sense, but are people really that bothered about the use of lens flares? Similarly, the ‘Installation Wizard’ joke is a bit of fun, but who is going to buy it, have they produced a design that is just aimed at sysadmins?

As ever with these competitions from WeLoveFine.com there are quite a lot of winners, so if you like X-MEN then chances are you’ll see something you like above. The Grand Prize winner is ‘United’ the circular crest design at the top of the mockups, and that sends designer Antony Rozwadowski on a trip to Comic-Con in San Diego which is a pretty special prize. It’s interesting looking at all the designs because it shows the restrictions that an official competition bring, as someone that has never read the original comics and has all of his knowledge from the movies the characters sometimes look a bit off to what I’d expect, of course Wolverine doesn’t look like Hugh Jackman, because using Hugh Jackman’s likeness would be another license to deal with. It doesn’t ruin any of the designs, it’s just an interesting insight into the world of licensing in the tee world, one that a lot of tee a day sites probably don’t give a damn about.

Each tee is available now for $25 and you can find the collection here.

Soooo, Jurassic Park was released in 1993, TWENTY YEARS AGO, anyone else feel old right now?

It’s good to hear from Santa Carla Boardwalk because I do like their concept of ‘in-world’ movie t-shirts, I know there are other people that do it but I am a bit of a sucker for this style when it comes to po culture tees. They’ve also updated their website with a fresh new look that I like, mostly because they appear to be using the same theme for their website that I am with the HYA shop, great minds think alike!

It’s nice to see WearViral growing with designs that wouldn’t be too out of place on the daily sites like TeeFury and RIPT except that they have their own style, and if I’m not mistaken they are also all original designs that haven’t done the rounds before finding a home. For the first week of sale (aka, until this Sunday) shirts are $15.99 rising to $19.95 after that, and throughout hte month of May you can get 20% off your order with the coupon code APEMAY.

Solid week of new designs from Tshirt Laundry, I’m not sure if I’d wear either of the pop culture designs but I can certainly see their appeal to others.

The Game of Thrones tee made me laugh, but I wouldn’t want to wear it as a tee, it’s a one-trick pony, people laugh the first time they see it and then never again. I’ve got no idea what’s going on with the dog shirt, anyone?

One of the main things that I have against all the mashups I see at the daily sites is that the two pieces of subject matter don’t need to be in the same design. Honestly, I can’t think of a reason why The Dude has been transplanted into the world of Scott Pilgrim but I still think this is cool, which makes me a total hypocrite but I’m okay with that.

Not bad at TeeFury today.

Very nice indeed at Shirt.Woot.

RIPT have a mashup that doesn’t make enough sense.

Lovely at DBH.

GraphicLab have been watching Power Rangers.

Not bad at Qwertee.

Who would have thought that Shirt Punch (or anyone) would ever have a Turducken shirt.

Pretty cool from The Yetee.

Nowhere Bad have a cereal design, oh good.

Nicely done at OtherTees.

I’m just going to assume that this is a Supernatural design at TeeRaiders.

Goodjoe are fighting childhood hunger.

Tee Busters have something to do with Merlin.

6dollarshirts have a ‘steampunk bare knuckle boxing’ design… of course.

Epic Embrace have been watching Monty Python.

Unusual to see an Indiana Jones shirt, so Another Fine Tee are pretty original in that respect.

I think that the Mario Kart design is the winner this week at Gimmick Tees.

These two are in the battle this week at Tshirt Fight.

TeeVolt have a Doctor Who design that I don’t understand.

Unamee have an unusual chest burster design.

There’s some ‘cheaters’ at Captain KYSO.

Limiteed have this design that we’ve seen before.

Blipshift have another design for petrol heads.

I’ve always liked this ‘Doctorama’ design, and now it’s available for bigger guys and gals over at Fresh Brewed Tee.

There’s nothing wrong with this design, I just don’t know why they’ve decided to release it, surely the ship has sailed (sorry…) when it comes to t-shirts based on Cast Away?
