![banksy burg pop The last word on the Banksy T shirt? [Submitted]](http://media.hideyourarms.com/wp-content/uploads/tdomf/37455/banksy-burg-pop.jpg "banksy-burg-pop.jpg")
Possibly the most ripped-off T-shirt of modern times has to be the Banksy stencil t-shirt. We’ve had a go at creating one from a different angle by adding a little satire and self-deprication to the genre. This week only all our tees are just £10.
Andy: One of the things I know about Banksy is that he doesn’t mind his artwork being used in any way, as long as it isn’t sold on t-shirts and mugs and that kind of thing. People seem to think it’s okay to profit from Banksy’s work for some reason, but at least this shirt actually plays with an idea and makes fair use of the artwork to create commentary.

I really like the type work on this shirt from The Greatest of These (I’m not too sure about that name though). Unfortunately it’s only available in size medium and large, of course there are plenty of people out there that size, I just don’t happen to be one of them.

As someone that has a Doraemon toy sat on top of my PC tower I like this. It’s entirely superficial as I’ve never seen anything that has Doraemon in it, but I like the way it looks and that’s good enough for now. I’m pretty surprised that more brands don’t go in for the “zombified cartoon character” market, especially considering the massive success that zombie Mario had last year.

I’m sure that if you asked some brand owners they’d say that 166 Days is the amount of time it takes me to respond to e-mails on average, but in reality it is actually a newish (launched in 2010) t-shirt brand from Glasgow, Scotland. I’ve only been to Glasgow once (I live an hour for the border with Scotland but rarely have a need to visit), but remember it being pretty cool.
At the moment they have 3 t-shirts available in their store, two of which I like and one I don’t, which is a pretty good hit rate for a brand nowadays since I’ve become honest/mean about brands. The red shirt is just a bit dull for me, they call it ‘The Horror’and I can understand why, but the print looks a bit dull and it just doesn’t interest me. The other two are pretty interesting though, the technical style of the spine shirt is something I like to see and the ‘graffiti’ shirt is really wearable. Shirts weigh in at £15.99 a piece.
As someone that sees hundreds of t-shirts every day it’s quite hard to get me interested in t-shirts that have a story behind them, I tend to just look at the artwork and decide if I like it from that, but Nspired do actually have some pretty cool stories behind their shirts which does make them a bit more interesting and easier to understand.
Chapter 5: Follow the Herd – Governments around the world have been know to pass some “interesting laws”, such as banning small breasts in adult publications in Australia, Emo music in Russia, and time travel and reincarnation in China. Design was done by the one and only Fintan Magee from Australia.
Chapter 6: Nature vs Nurture – This month’s chapter deals with two twins, separated at birth and never having met until the age of 40, lived lives with uncanny coincidences. This month, the t-shirt is more than just interactive. It launches a game in which you will help the two twins reunite by beating the computer at tic tak toe. Illustration was designed by the one and only Nate Williams
The shirts are €19.95 each and are available now.
