I do love the way that Akumu Ink have their style and stick to it. Both shirts are $26 each, and the face design is available as a hoodie for $56.

From what I can tell they haven’t added any new shirts to their line-up, but it is cool to see Akumu Ink‘s shirts being worn by people rather than as mockups.

My buddies over at Akumu Ink certainly do come out with some creepy stuff, don’t they? I think that my favourite from this bumper release is Of Horror II (the bloody red on black design), which is a continuation of one of my favourite designs they’ve realeased. Each shirt will run you $21.99, and at the moment they can all be easily found in the ‘new’ section.

akumu ink packaging

My buddies over at Akumu Ink are industrious fellows, they’ve been busy recently, but so have I so I haven’t managed to cover everything they’ve been up to, but I really like this idea they’ve had for their packaging so I just had to share it. I’ll let Aldora (Mrs. Akumu Ink) explain:

We’ve just came up with a new packaging that features a new wax seal with Akumu Ink in its Japanese characters. We want to make it a great experience for our customers when they receive the package; Hence: -> open the shipping package to find a stained envelope addressed to “My Dearly Departed” -> turn the package to open it, to find a wax seal -> open the wax seal -> to find the shirts they’ve ordered.

The great part about the wax seal is that in the end, they get to keep it whole, because it doesn’t fall apart, so it would be a great safe-keeping.

Pretty cool huh? It should probably be noted that you’ll only get this special packaging if you order 2 or more shirts. It’s good to see brands doing stuff like this with their packaging, because it helps to round out the brand as a whole and also make the purchasing experience much more enjoyable and memorable. As someone that gets sent a lot of t-shirts in the mail I am also happy to see a shirt just sliding out of a poly mailer or a thick paper envelope, but when people put in that bit of extra effort it does make it all a bit more exciting, and I’d be likely to tell people about it the purchase as well, so it’s probably a good marketing tool too.

new stuff from akumu ink

There’s so much new stuff at Akumu Ink that I thought the most effective way of showing you all their recent developments (they actually released this stuff more then 2 weeks ago) was to take a screengrab from their front page and let you take a look for yourself without me holding your hand, you’re all grown up!

A couple of new shirts from Akumu Ink

October 13, 2010
Thumbnail image for A couple of new shirts from Akumu Ink

I really feel like Akumu Ink have settled into a style that they’re comfortable with at the moment and it’s working for them, and by working for them, I mean that I like it. The designs are probably a bit too gothic lolita (a phrase that I’m not entirely sure I understand) for me to [...]

Akumu Ink adds an extra colour, become more awesome

Thumbnail image for Akumu Ink adds an extra colour, become more awesome

Akumu Ink have pretty much been a one colour company since their birth, and by that I mean that all their designs only had one colour of ink on them. It worked well for their style, didn’t allow things to get too crazy, one of my problems with horror brands is that there is sometimes [...]

3 New Tees from Akumu Ink

Thumbnail image for 3 New Tees from Akumu Ink

Please bear in mind that these tees aren’t ‘new’, they’ve been available for almost 3 weeks now, but if I haven’t seen it, it’s new to me! These are three strong releases in my eyes, I especially like ‘Suffocate‘ (the one with the purple print), but the other two don’t exactly suck. Akumu Ink have [...]

Muazo: Akumu Ink and Tolky Monkys in the UK!

March 25, 2010
Thumbnail image for Muazo: Akumu Ink and Tolky Monkys in the UK!

One of the problems with being British, and there are a few, is that when we order clothing from other countries it takes a while to get here, and it costs a lot to get here (even if an order sneaks past customs), so it’s convenient when a shop in the UK does the hard [...]

Death Before Dishonor by Akumu Ink

January 27, 2010
Thumbnail image for Death Before Dishonor by Akumu Ink

Some of you may be thinking, “hey, isn’t there a brand called death before dishonour that you’ve mentioned before and insist upon calling ‘badass’ at every opportunity?” Why yes, there is, but it’s also a 1987 film and an album by a Scottish punk band, so let’s gloss over that. What clearly doesn’t need glossing [...]

Akumu Ink’s new shirt is a Ripper (and they have packages now too)

November 3, 2009

If you’re wanting to get a jump on next year’s Halloween festivities (I’ve missed out on Halloween for the past 4 years because of my French adventures) then there would be few better ways to do it than with a tee or two from Akumu Ink. The latest release is the single tee you can [...]

Akumu Ink get possessed

September 14, 2009

Our good buddies from Akumu Ink have taken a little bit of time off from their jam=packed schedule hitting up tattoo shows spreading the gospel of Akumu to add a new design to their shop. Available as both a v-neck and a regular neck to ladies and gents, ‘Possessed’ is pretty typical of Joey’s style, [...]

Akumu Ink: ‘new’ things!

April 8, 2009

Of course, ‘new’ means that these were new a couple of weeks ago, but my crazy schedule and insistence upon being a tourist has meant that this week is largely going to be catch up time, as those of you that follow more than one t-shirt blog will have probably realised by now. Akumu Ink

The Storm is coming at Akumu Ink

February 15, 2009

Here’s an interesting concept, a design that is inspired by one a band that Akumu Ink sponsor from the Netherlands called Meet the Storm, yet isn’t intended to promote them. As ideas go, I like it, usually bands want to be sponsored by clothing companies so that they get free stuff, and brands just want [...]

More cute horror from Akumu Ink, just a ‘sip of death’ this time around

January 7, 2009

The Akumu Ink crew have toned things down a bit for their January release, instead of giving us a full on hit of death, like they usually do, they’ve gone a bit more subtle an are heading down the poison route. Poison kinda scares, it could be absolutely anything (and in China it usually is), [...]

Akumu Ink aren’t letting up for Christmas

December 2, 2008

Christmas usually makes a lot of people rather more mellow, but not Akumu Ink, the holidays haven’t softened them at all, because their latest release doesn’t involve the kind of things you’d see in a Tim Allen movie, its a dude budgeoning someone to death with a hammer. Pass the mince pies! Guys get it [...]

Akumu Ink: They have hoodies now!

October 8, 2008

I think this is shaping up to be one of the best Halloween’s ever if you want to wear something that fits the horror bill without making you dress up like this guy (incidentally, he couldn’t get the yellow paint off the next day, and had to go to work looking kinda yellow). Akumu Ink [...]

Akumu Ink: Still managing to be dark and cute at the same time

September 4, 2008

To me, the character design on Tokyo Massacre is pretty cute, yes, she’s holding a chainsaw, but at the same time, its a pretty cute style. Maybe I’m starting to get a bit dark if I think that anyone wielding a chainsaw can be cute, please shout at me if the blog starts getting too [...]

Montreal is home to a number of awesome things, the worlds tallest inclined tower, a great biodome (there was a sloth!), lots of lovely restaurants, and Akumu Ink. Here’s what they’ve been up to recently: So, what’s new with Akumu Ink: we have our current designs printed in different colors (Cut,Cut & When a Cat [...]
