Wotto makes me want to smile with his creative (and always cute) designs. Here’s one for us ladies featured at a new company called, CottonBlend Apparel. This sweet tee, titled Longing to Be There, is one that Wotto himself says is “inspired by long distance relationships and wanting to be somewhere or with someone.” …Awww.

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!

My shop is updated. New mini-clothing-collection, art-zine and some silkscreens… check it out!

Origin68 has made-over their site and it certainly is looking quite nice. In addition, they have added eight new tees making their 2012 Spring/Summer line. My favorite t-shirt from the bunch would definitely be Enjoy Life (pictured on the pretty girl above). It displays an incredible use of type to create a design – first of all, it grabs my eyes with it’s bold use of red on heathered gray, and then I am intrigued by the way LIFE flows into a circular shape to form something almost organic or whimsical, while ENJOY is tucked away elegantly within the top of the design, that I love! Oh, let’s not forget the subtle details; the placement of their name at the bottom of the design, as well as the hem tag – ah, so refreshing and just right.

Cost: £20.00 Buy it: Origin68

I haven’t played Skyrim (I’m pretty sure I spend enough time on my computer already), but I am aware that taking an arrow to the knee is some kind of meme, and that it’s funny. So whilst the details of this shirt are slightly lost on me, I can certainly appreciate the style.

Hello you lovely people visiting Hide Your Arms,

This is our third guest blog entry here- born from a group hug between GoodFibres and Hide Your Arms, letting you read all about what’s been happening at the GoodFibres headquarters and as always, keeping you updated on our cool t-shirts . We’re still getting lots of entries! Keep them coming!:)

From the cool to the edgy, from the strange to the inspirational- our range of funky t shirts cater to everyone’s tastes. All of this thanks to the creative artists  that want to share their work with the world. Haven’t seen the amazing artwork on our environmentally friendly t-shirts? Stroll down to our shop and have a look.

There have been some great submissions by our artists recently. Just check out one of our latest Tees, “Smoke” by Paul Dickinson And how about last week’s winner, wes0187 with his blood-red design, “Identity”? All of these printed tees have you, the people to thank. It’s down to you (Yes, you!) to vote for a different design every week to go into print. You definitely haven’t let us down with your choices!

Our main goal is to help you as an artist- to expand and grow within our community of like-minded and supportive sparks of talent. That’s why we love to help you sell your work in the form of cool t shirts and every time that we sell one, we give you 10% and a donation will be made to charity- not only helping the artist, you (getting you a great t-shirt) but also helping those truly in need.

Along with these and many other benefits (Find them on the right of the t-shirt details section), you’ll keep the rights to your work to use as you please and hopefully, we’ll help you continue to grow!

We’re currently brainstorming away over here at the GoodFibres headquarters to constantly improve and revamp the website and there’s just so much inspiration to draw from! We’re going to have a few visual treats for you in the coming weeks, so watch this space! As usual, we would love your feedback on it- your take on the design, the buying process, our customer service-anything! Why not drop us an e-mail at info@goodfibres.com?

Today we have a beaut for Thrill Kill Zombie fans: ‘Zombie Hunter’ by Shawn Conn!
Printed on 100% Ringspun Cotton.

Keep up with the latest by Shawn at his regular digs:

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.

Pretty solid bunch of releases from Tshirt Laundry this week, I really like the 8-bit style of the 80s and 90s action movie heroes design.
