If you have been keeping up with my posts this week about the charity tees for sale at The Yetee, then you know exactly what this tee is all about! If you are clueless, let me fill you in; The Yetee has been selling tees this week to raise money to go to The Organization for Autism Research and with each t-shirt sold, The Yetee donates $3 directly to this great cause. Not only that, The Yetee is in coordination with Summer Games Done Quick, a gaming marathon – learn more by reading my last blog post!
Two tees sold, one to go and you get to see it here first before it is up for sale in just a few hours! This last of the three tees sold this week is by the lovely Kari Fry titled, The Returners! Don’t you just enjoy her style? This design, like the others this week, is packed full of video game characters and I just can’t decide which is my favorite… thanks for the great work, Kari!
One last thing, The Yetee has officially raised $1,500 with your purchases of shirts! That’s incredible, and remember, there’s still time to help – go shop!
This week The Yetee has been selling t-shirts (three to be exact) for the Speed Demos Archives annual Summer gaming marathon – the Summer Games Done Quick, which raises money for charity! The Yetee is donating $3 from every shirt sold; it will go directly to The Organization for Autism Research, a worthy cause indeed. I can’t stress enough how cool The Yetee, the Speed Demos Archives, and the artists are for putting this all together, truly inspiring.
For the next few hours, you can still buy the first of three tees, Speed Runnin’, designed by Ryan Haak AND immediately after that, Pixel Pandamonium by Drew Wise will go live! (You’re getting a sneak peek thanks to Glen at The Yetee, thanks Glen!) This new design, shown right above, is not only packed with popular video game characters, all done in Drew’s pixely style, but it also glows in the dark! You are sure to be noticed while wearing this tee!
What you should do:
Remember to check back here on HYA or at The Yetee for the last of the three tees – you won’t be sorry!
So lookie here, if you haven’t heard already, the folks over at The Yetee are offering three tees over the next six days that not only generate smiles from gamers and tee lovers alike, but also a portion goes to a very worthy charity! See, $3 from each shirt sold will be donated to The Organization for Autism Research, a worthy cause if I don’t say so myself. (Oh, I already did!)
Not only that, but this event is in coordination with a Gaming Marathon – The Summer Games Done Quick or SGDQ, hosted by Speed Demo Archives! Let me tell you more about SGDQ: it is a whooping 4 days of gaming (a marathon, if you will), in which speedruns of games are livecast and better yet, most of the characters on the t-shirts featured on The Yetee are from the games played during the marathon! The livecast starts today, May 24th – go check it out!
So on to the tees, what you all are really excited about! The first design Speed Runnin’ (shown above), is by Ryan Haak – nice one Ryan! This t-shirt is FULL of our favorite video game characters, speeding on through almost like they will burst right out of the tee on that Warthog! Again you have to remember $3 from your purchase will be going to a more than noble charity, and I know you wanna help, right?
Keep an eye out here on HYA for a sneak peek at the next two tees – I’ll keep you posted!

One of the neat things about this shirt is that for every tee that The Age of Sunshine sell they’ll plant a tree in the Amazon. Not them personally, but these guys. You’d think that would push up the price, but as you’ll notice from the costiness, this shirt isn’t expensive by any stretch of the imagination.

Nerdy Shirts have launched a new initiative that is designed to give us some great t-shirts and also do their bit for charity in the process. They call it the Rule of Thirds; an artist creates a limited edition shirt for Nerdy Shirts, and the profits get spit evenly between them, the artist, and also a charity of the artists’ choice. Naturally, I think this is pretty cool since it’s always good to see an altruistic element to the sale of a t-shirt. Above you can see the first two shirt that have resulted from this programme, the yellow one by Dean Haspiel (benefiting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation), and the white Storm Trooper one by Oliver Barrett (benefiting the American Cancer Society).
The shirts are $35 each which is a bit more than usual, but I assume that this extra cost is to do with them having to pay the artist more (since NS don’t usually use named artists) and also putt a couple of dollars on top for the charities.

The Tree Shirt House got in touch recently to let me know about their recently launched (November 2011) t-shirt brand. They’re based in Singapore (but sell in Euros, which explains why the people on the about page don’t look particularly Asian) and they are trying to sell tees ‘the right way’. All the designs are meant to tell a stroy about wildlife, and are printed on 100% organic cotton. Each shirt is ‘limited’ to 500 tees per design. As with most brands of this size I always tend to assume that the 500 figure is an arbitrary upper limit and that they don’t have 500 of each design in stock, because that would be quite a lot for a two person startup. For every tee that is purchased $5 (USD) will go to support on of their chosen causes, which I’m sure you won’t be surprised to hear are animal-related.
The shirts themselves aren’t preachy, which is always appreciated, and the designs, whilst all following a similar theme, really appeal to me with their bold crests. Also, did you see the photos of their packaging? You can turn it into a bird house! I can’t see a cardboard bird house lasting that long where I live, but I’m sure that in warmer climbs it would make a nice home for some winged friends.
