Scribtee, the design competition offshoot of Shirtcity, have released a couple of new tees. The first, the pink-blue gradient design by RikkiB, which I think its safe to assume was a nightmare for their printers, but I think the design is good enough to make it worth it. The second is some kind of bizarre-but-beautiful lightbulb by a designer I hadn’t heard of before called ninhol.

If you just can’t get enough of RikkiB, there’s a small interview with her on the Scribtee blog. Both tees are printed onto American Apparel tees and can be picked up for £15.40 each (or the equivalent in your currency).

It looks like Go Ape are getting back on track with the releases after Josh’s trip to China (I think it was China). Here’s their mailout about the new release:

“Stream of Life” by Jan Willem Wennekes aka Zeptonn is a jumbo print on a brown shirt. The gradient on this print turned out amazing. Jan has been a friend of Go Ape Shirts for a while now. He is also the artist behind “Critter Parade”. You should definitely check out his new book Black & White Freedrawings, which he recently released. Lastly, I still have some Beautiful/Decay magazines left. They come free with orders of two or more shirts.

You have to say, that’s a beast of a gradient print, good work guys. If you want a few more pictures of the tee then head on over to their Flickr page.

Its not all that often that you see gradient on a tee. Granted, the actual design isn’t all that exciting (though it is very wearable, I can see it working well in an outfit), but that gradient is damned attractive.

Big rectangular prints on the front of a tee are.. err… big, this season, I’ve noticed them cropping up more and more recently and its a style that I’ve come to really enjoy. For me, there’s a feeling that they are a good way to put art onto a t-shirt, the print conforms to the standard shape/dimensions that you expect to see in a piece of art hanging on a wall, and because of this I think it gives artists a bit more freedom to play in terms of their subject, even if they might feel a little constricted in terms of placement.

Great use of negative space on this tee, and I really like the look of the red-to-yellow gradient, although it is often pretty hard to print a nice gradient so its a pity we don’t have real pictures of this tee rather than just the mock-ups.
