I got word through yesterday that
Black Sea Apparel would be closing down soon and are holding a store-wide
sale to clear out the shelves. Tees are priced as low as $13 (which they remind us is actually less than the price of a blank American Apparel shirt from one of AA’s
hipster-fortresses stores), and
hoodies can be bought for $25 a pop, which is a great deal.
It’s always sad when a store closes, but especially so in the case of Black Sea as they were advertisers here on HYA for a pretty long time last year, which means that the blame for their closure almost certainly lies on you readers that just sit back and read the content without checking out the advertisers. For shame!*
In reality, Justin has just decided that Black Sea has run its course and would now prefer to concentrate on freelance graphic design jobs and hopefully move into an interior design career, though Black Sea will continue doing merchandise fulfillment. Good luck buddy!

Three
sale posts in a row, and I’ve still got loads more in my inbox, all these Christmas promos are taking over the blog!
Tees are $16, v-neck tees are $17, and hoodies are $35, not half bad, eh?

Our friends over at Black Sea dropped me a line to say that they’ve dropped a few new tees, and that they’ve got a fun new photoshoot to go with it, which is why the gallery above is a bit bigger than usual. On the subject of galleries, I accidently turned off the wrong plugin in WordPress a few days ago, which is why you wouldn’t be getting any lightbox effects when you clicked on an image, but that’s been fixed now, apologies for any inconvenience.

So, here’s another of those slightly awkward moments when I tell you how much I like one of the products of my advertisers. I like Black Sea, they’ve got great designs and they care about what they do, so why the devil shouldn’t I mention them every so often?
I really like the grittiness of this design, there just seems to be something immediately confrontational and slightly aggressive about the image of the teeth, especially with the strong contrasts of the washed out colours.
