Liechtenstein, Mondran, and the inimitable Marilyn Monroe, this is a really nice bunch of tees from Johnny Cupcakes. There’s actually a pretty cool story behind the Marilyn Monroe collaboration too, as this one is sanctioned and is similar to a shirt Johnny made years ago that Marilyn’s people weren’t made aware of back when JC would sail close to the wind in terms of what he could get away with regarding copyright.
If you’ve been reading HYA for more than 5 minutes you’ll be well aware of the back story behind Juhnny Cupcakes, but that doesn’t stop me from mentioning it every so often. Johnny is an impressive success story and it’s cool to hear him talk about it, I especially liked the bit towards the end where he talks about emotional success being as important as financial success.
Pretty nice new batch from Johnny Cupcakes, the favourite for me being the Karate Kid-themed shirt. As usual the shirts are $35.99 each and are available now.
Whilst a couple of these these are obviously riffing on the by now familiar cupcake and crossbones motif that has made Johnny Cupcakes so well-known, these new animal-inspired design do feel refreshingly different, with the elephant design in particular piquing my interest.
This past weekend was, as the title suggests Johnny Cupcakes London First Year Anniversary and the celebrations kicked off with a pre-anniversary show.
There were in store exclusive designs based around the traditional British postal stamp but of course with a JC twist, her royal highness was cheekily wearing a bakers hat and live music from Sharks front man James, ripping it up on acoustic guitar! On the Saturday rumour had it there was free tea, free cupcakes, some giveaways, and special edition items throughout the day!
As always there was a huge buzz about the brand and the in store exclusives with fans queuing for hours to get their own little ‘slice’ of history (including a guy named Ry, who flew to London all the way from Hawaii, just for the store’s first anniversary). By the time the store opened on Saturday the majority of customers had been waiting for over 24 hours.
The interiors of his stores are themed around, yes you guessed it, bakeries and the London store is no different with the legendary ‘patisserie’ display units, cake boxes and general homely feel.
The next time you need a sugar fix I’d suggest stopping off at Johnny Cupcakes and have a look around, I guarantee you’ll leave full of happiness and more than likely with a limited edition tee, cap or vinyl toy! Make cupcakes, not war!
Nice little release from Johnny Cupcakes, and cool to see that they’re going to be celebrating the 1st year of the London store being open by having real cupckaes in the store and presumably some special tees that will only be on sale that day.
I get the feeling that this Hellboy x Elmo mashup is going to do quite well at TeeFury. What a delightfully cute cooking shirt at Shirt.Woot today. Awesome Mario shirt at RIPT today.
TeeFury have a shirt about a show I’ve never seen, Adventure Time, but I still rather like this design. Cute cat tee at Shirt.Woot today. Oh yeah, I still need to watch Battlestar Galactica! Shirt available at RIPT.
Again with the Muppets at TeeFury! Not for me at Shirt.Woot today, but there’s nothing wrong with it. Not sure if I’d wear this shirt just because it’s on white, but I certainly to like this Walking Dead design at RIPT.
Dexter’s Laboratory meets Mythbusters in this shirt from Teefury. Y’know, I’ve never seen Donnie Darko, judging by the amount of shirts about it, including this one from Qwertee, I probably should (lots of shirts usually = a good movie). Shirt.Woot have a delightful 8-bit Ghostbusters design. Strangely, RIPT also have a Ghostbusters shirt, though with [...]
I question how many people are going to buy a t-shirt from TeeFury with an obscure Kid Icarus reference on it. That said, I’m sure people that do get it will be squealing with delight that this design exists. I’m not going to make any friends with this, but I didn’t think that Bridesmaids was [...]
I hope you guys all enjoyed Christmas and the New Year, it was a great break for me not thinking about t-shirts (much) and enjoying guilt-free eating. Good luck to everyone in 2012! TeeFury have a Pokemon t-shirt that I don’t understand. RIPT drop a Harry Potter-insipred shirt.
This TeeFury shirt has everything, horror, a movie parody, 80s games, 8-bit, and lots of criticism in their comments about the head looking pasted on! Not often you see an orange shirt, usually it only happens when Tilteed pull this design out of the closet. This Shirt.Woot design is simple but I like it. I’ve [...]
Sorry about the intermittent service on HYA recently, our wireless router failed last week, I ordered another on rush delivery from Amazon and when it arrived it wouldn’t work, and our backup router is quite old and a little flakey which doesn’t help things. There is another router on the way from Amazon though, so [...]
I don’t really understand the crossover between My Little Pony and Pokemon, but I’m sure some of you will. Having never watched Venture Bros I’m not particularly enamored with today’s shirt at RIPT. Nice 8-bit tee at Shirt.Woot today.
Pretty decent ‘it is getting damn cold outside’ release from Johnny Cupcakes over the weekend, thought I’m not entirely sure how the Four Year Strong collaboration tee really fits with the theme, but as far as band t-shirts go it’s mighty fine.
From the Johnny Cupcakes mailout: Over the past few months we’ve personally sourced + climbed mountains of fabric to find the right goods, design and developed the appropriate fits—as well as the little details and packaging. All of these button-up shirts were produced in small quantities right here in the USA. Each shirt and it’s [...]
I think that this Doctor Who t-shirt thing may be getting a bit out of hand now. TeeFury. Very nice Portal shirt from Qwertee, pity that the text isn’t legible though. That is one majestic looking unicorn, Tilted. Soooo, is that owl drunk? Stupidhurts.us Pretty nice tee from Shirt.Woot today. There is a surprising lack [...]
I’ve decided to add in little bits of extra news to these daily tee roundups that wouldn’t otherwise get posted (such as some sales and deals), let me know if you think this idea sucks or not. I’ve never seen The Warriors, I must add it to my must watch list and then maybe get [...]
