Parra and his surreal characters

by Mr Four Fingers on March 5, 2012

Over the years, Dutch artist, Parra has become one of the most recognisable styles that I have seen, not just for the weird and kinky content but also for the bird like faces and looping hand drawn type. I used to own the a Wallow in Pity Self t-shirt (since gone missing) and it was only after wearing a few times did I reailse that it actually said this! I thought it was wallow in self pity. So Im not sure why he changed it up, maybe just to be playful, but it still conveyed the same meaning.

I first saw his designs at online clothing store Rockwell, amongst other designers, but since then Parra has taken over the whole store. I imagine this is due to his rise to fame in recent years.

T-shirts cost €35, so more expensive than the average but you are sure to stand out with some of these designs. There are also other products like pillows, hoodies and even duvet covers! Check out the online store here.

Daily T-shirt Roundup for January 9th

by Andy on January 9, 2012

Pin It

I’m not too excited by the Sloth & Crossbones Goonies shirt at TeeFury today, you?

Very cute illustration style on this Shirt.Woot tee, maybe this shirt will perk you up to stick with your New Year’s resolutions?

Not the kind of Star Wars t-shirt that I’d wear, but a pretty cool concept from RIPT nonetheless.

Can anyone explain to me why The Yetee are describing this felines as pizzacats?

Very cool Fantastic Mr. Fox inspired t-shirt at Shirt Punch today.

GraphicLab have a shirt that is a little lost on me, it’s a mashup of The Impossible Man from the Marvel universe and Magnitude from Community.

Star Trek inspired visual pun from TeeMinus24 today.

I’m fairly sure that this TeeRaiders design is the first Warehouse 13 shirt that I’ve seen.

Stupidhurts.us give this well worn phrase another run out.

OtherTees have a Doctor Who shirt that I’m sure I’ve seen before.

Qwertee make a connection between Portal and zombies.

We don’t have Fresca over here in the UK, so this 24tee shirt is wasted on me.

Cool new shirt at DBH today.

There’s a couple of new shirts up on pre-order at Goodjoe.

Loviu reiterate their ‘barbie is a slut’ stance.

Tilteed have their boomerang-based design up again.

Catch of the Day Tee have nothing for us, again.

Tee Gazette has an update on the Boston Tee Party event being held in the summer.

I saw this t-shirt on Flickr months ago and it’s taken me until now to remember to post it.

Co-Tee TV Episode 88: Moustardche, Javaboi Industries, and Hot Dogs from Coty Gonzales on Vimeo.

Coty has a new episode of Co-Tee TV up, featuring Moustardache, Javaboi Industries, and Hot Dogs.

The selection process may have been unscientific, but it’s nice to see HYA at the top (the position may or may not mean anything) of this list of the “21 Most Important t-shirt blogs of 2011.“

Tee Hunter take a look at the A Bathing Ape x Star Wars collection.

Fuel Your Creativity have an article about starting a clothing line with no money. It does make it all seems a little easy in my eyes, but there are worse stepping off points.

Here’s another t-shirt from PalmerCash I bookmarked ages ago but never got around to posting about.

2sickbastards have got up to 50% off their art prints until January 13th.

Snapback hats are now in store at Glamour Kills.

Did you know that howies was part of Timberland? I say was because as of the start of this year they bought themselves out and are now an independent business again.

Terratag‘s up to 50% off sale has hit it’s final week, ends on Friday.

Asymmetric Theory make some weird shirts, they are cool though

by Andy on September 16, 2011

Pin It

There seems to be a trend at the moment for tee models to wear a strange mask, has anyone else noticed that?

Asymmetric Theory have got some unusual designs the likes of which I rarely see nowadays, they feel more like ‘art on a t-shirt’ than regular t-shirt designs, and I think that they work, there’s a lot of really cool designs available.

The shirts are priced at $39 a piece, which seems like quite a lot (especially considering they’re 1 colour prints), but then I regularly post shirts that are around the £25 mark with that caveat that ‘Britain is expensive’ so it’s unfair to say that any shirt above $30 is too expensive just because there are people out there like TeeFury that sell shirts for $10 every day.

Daily Tee Roundup Sept. 15th: Let’s Lick Lupus!

by Andy on September 15, 2011

Pin It

At TeeFury today they’re giving a portion of sales from the above Dr. Horrible shirt to Maurissa Tancharoen Whedon and the Lupus Foundation of America, so it’s you’re a fan of the show (shorts? Webisodes?) then I assume that this tee is a bit of a no-brainer.

Could this be a Firefly shirt from Qwertee? Imagine how popular that show would have been if it was still on air?

Very cool shirt from Loviu today, though I do question the decision to make the ladies shirt yellow, seems like part of the design gets lost in the background.

Do you love Starbucks? Do you love Star Wars? Do you love pop culture t-shirts? From $10 at RIPT today.

It’s quite hard to gush about this shirt, I doubt you’ll find people saying “ZOMG it’s so cool!!!11!!!” but it’s definitely a solid design that I’d be happy to wear. $10 at Shirt.Woot today.

Disappointment again from TeeMinus24, I want them to do well as I do with (almost) all shirt companies, but they’re going to need better designs and a better website if they’re going to survive.

Lovely design at Tilteed today, they’ve been on a bit of a roll recently, I’d be happy to see this one in my closet.

Enclothe’s Summer collection is a little late but still great

by Andy on August 24, 2011

Pin It

I’m wearing a hoodie and jeans and you’re trying to tell me that it’s Summer? I think that the British summer is long gone (it’ll probably be stunning this weekend after I’ve said that), so seeing someone releasing a Summer collection now feels a little silly to me, but when the tees look this good I should probably shut up and not complain about it. Oh, and if place an order before August 25th (tomorrow) use the coupon code Summer11 to save 11%.

“Respirator” t-shirt from INDVSL and stencil artist Logan Hicks

by Andy on June 13, 2011

Pin It

INDVSL, now there’s a blast from the past, those guys have been kicking out tees since before MySpace was cool. They’ve teamed up with a fellow called Logan Hicks to release a shirt coinciding with his show at Opera Gallery in NYC, where you can see some of Logan’s awfully impressive stencil work.

The shirt is organic cotton printed with discharge soy-ink, so it ticks all the boxes in terms of moral qualms of copious consumption, http://www.merchline.com/indvsl/category.5059.c.php“>and can be picked up for $28 in green, red, or white.

Hey look, art! [Videos]

March 11, 2011

Times Change from Quartier Croisette on Vimeo. As it’s a Friday I thought I might take a quick break from tees and share a cool video that was sent in by an artist called Lucas Beaufort. It’s got nothing to do with t-shirts, but it’s shot beautifully and the music is lovely, enjoy.

Jon Burgerman: Art for Toffee

April 12, 2010

A month and a bit ago renowned artist Jon Burgerman sent out a tweet that said something along the lines of “send me toffee, and I’ll send you art.” It’s an unusual offer, so I chanced it and sent him an e-mail asking if I could get in on it. As I’m from the Lake [...]

Print Society: A Better Way to Find Art

January 13, 2010

This is off-topic, but it’s good enough to be off-topic that I shouldn’t need to justify it, but I just did, so we’re covered from all angles. Print Society is a site from the team that created Rumplo. Basically, it is to art, what Rumplo is to t-shirts, and I’m fairly sure that can only [...]

kozyndan have an Etsy account?

November 11, 2009

This post has nothing to do with tees, but regular readers will be aware that I’m a bit of a fan of the art duo known as Kozyndan, and it would appear that they have an Etsy store to sell items that for one reason or another aren’t on their main site, like original paintings, [...]

HYA got some Godmachine!

September 3, 2009

Godmachine was nice enough to send over a poster to brighten up the office, and I think you’ll agree, even with this crappy shaky photo (at least it will stop someone from ripping it off!), it looks pretty sweet. The post is still available from his store as part of a double-pack for £12.50.

Concrete Hermit are in Tate Modern

August 6, 2009

Whenever I visit the Tate Modern (I like walking along the South Bank when I’m in London, so I do pop in when I can), it reminds me that I know pretty much nothing about art. But then I get annoyed when people just trash the stuff in there because they don’t understand it, just [...]

Retreat!

January 22, 2009

I must say, that tee up there is outstanding, it’s a work of art, probably because it literally is a t-shirt with a work of art printed on it. Any art aficionado’s out there able to tell me who the original artist was? I don’t think that the rest of Retreat‘s line (some of which [...]

Art in the Age, who released some great new tees last week, are celebrating Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday by asking you (yes, you) to send them artwok inspired by the great man that will be displayed in their store on 116 North 3rd Street, Philadeplhia, so hopefully I’ll be able to go along and takes [...]

Filthy Fabrics scrub up nicely

September 11, 2008

I guess that this brand might be a bit of a hard sell to those of you that aren’t fans of logos, but Filthy Fabrics have got some other pretty cool designs as well, my particular favourite being their ‘terror‘ shirt, even though we all know that guns are neither cool nor awesome. Filthy Fabrics

Dirty Laundry: The Art of the Stain in Modern T-Shirt Design

September 9, 2008

You’d think I’d be pretty skeptical of an exhibition where the only art on display is t-shirts with stains on them, but I guess that two and a half years of writing about t-shirts has changed my perspective on what art is. Just so we’re clear, these aren’t necessarily ink stains either, some of the [...]

datrumpf’s line for Seee.us

August 4, 2008

To be honest, I hadn’t heard of datrumpf (warning: flashing images) before, but I really like the look of the hair tee and the style of the American football one, so I think I might keep an eye on him in the future. Seee.us are clearly fans of datrumpf, as he’s been trusted with the [...]

Is this a Jon Burgerman design? Yes… No… Maybe… Yes

July 25, 2008

What, what, tally ho and all that, because this is the third British post in a row, you practically need a cup of tea in your hand just to read the blog today! Famed doodler Jon Burgerman has put his own spin on Yes No Maybe‘s name and produced this rather spiffy looking tee. One [...]
