As has been mentioned in the past, I am not a Beatles fan, I have nothing against them, I just don’t listen to them, I don’t listen to much now, to be honest. In spite of not being a Beatles-ologist their cultural reach must have grasped me at some point over my past 27 years of existence because I get the references linked to most of the icons on this Beatles t-shirt from Chop Shop.
Presumably if you’re a fan of the Fab Four you just broke your screen because you threw your wallet at it.
Chop Shop just keep finding new things to turn into silhouettes, don’t they?
This time around they’re giving us the hairstyles of 101 iconic women from past and present, and 31 rockers whose careers peaked in the 80s and you probably last saw on a reality show or VH1.
Just for a change Chop Shop have released another silhouette collage, this time showing twenty-three historic missions into space. My eye was immediately drawn to SpaceShipOne at the bottom of the collage (labelled 04) because I thought it hadn’t been into space, but apparently it has, achieving the first ever privately-funded journey into space back in 2004. It’s a pretty cool design and I’m pretty sure that all you science-y readers out there will like it. Oh, and of course, this shirt was released on Tuesday because it was the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin making the first manned spaceflight.
Chop Shop (who are currently running a Supermarket HQ storefront whilst they prep for a relaunch of their own site) do love sticking a collection of related objects on a t-shirt then selling lots of them, but this time around they’ve avoided the silhouette style shirt and released a rather more artsy space tee. I’m probably slightly swayed by the way that the promo picture looks, but I think this would be a really good poster as well as tee.
Costiness=$25 Buy it at Chop Shop (also available on black)
As much as I love being cheap and getting $5 tees from Threadless, it’s nice that another cool t-shirt shop has gotten into the game of selling their shirts (and not even the crappy designs, some of them are fairly iconic in the tee world) for a price so low that if it were a meal I’d assume I had to bring my own fork. Apparently it was so successful last time that Chop Shop have decided to re-run their Cyber Monday deal and offer a lot of tees at this special page for just $4-6. The sale started today, and it runs 3 days, so it doesn’t take a genius to work out that if you try and buy one on Monday you’ll be sorely disappointed.
