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.

Turns out we were actually peddling old goods when Eirk from No Star Clothing recommended the outlet hoody by Option G in last Monday’s guest feature.

I was watching The O.C. today on Channel 4 (even though I’d already seen it, but lets keep that between me and you), it was the “The Chrismukkah Bar Mitz-vahkkah” episode where Ryan became a real man and finally turned 18. In a scene where Marissa went to visit Johnny I thought I noticed something odd…

No-longer-surfer-boy was wearing the Option G hoody. I dived forward in my seat, much like when they reveal one of their dramatic plot-twists, and then I laughed at myself for being quite so involved with the O.C., and quite so obsessed with hoodies.

I thought that people might want to know since I know lots of people get to here through google searches that involve Seth Cohen and the O.C.

Last week I asked Erik from No Star Clothing what was hiding his arms at the moment, and he promptly replied with a great choice that I would have posted myself if he hadn’t beaten me to it.

My favorite item right now is the option-g outlet hoodie. I like it because I’m electric, and if you touch me you might get shocked.

So that’s just a warning for you, if you buy anything from No Star make sure you are properly grounded when you open the package, otherwise you might get some kind of electric shock, and no one wants that.
