RedBubble, who’re a print on demand company that have a lot of great artists uploading designs there, have teamed up with one of my favourite London clothes shops, Demo, to put some tee designs from their site into Demo’s excellent store.

Design is love…that’s the motto. 180ronin is a team of designers whom like to think outside the box. Regardless the project or task at hand, 180ronin creates and brings unorthodox designs to the masses that demand to send a message or crave attention. From ninjas, robots to sexy pin-ups those are just the few subjects that invigorate 180ronin’s imagination to generate interesting designs for your wearing and viewing pleasure. By not following the normal traditions of everyone and just doing what they love, 180ronin will travel from client to client not to serve but to execute whatever message he/she desires to display for the public eye. Design is love and love is what 180ronin juxtaposes into their work.

I’ve just finished watching Transformers on Blu Ray (a present from my brother), so this post timing is actually pretty apt!

I thought that the e-mail from Reece about this tee was pretty funny, and since sharing is fun, here you go:

I’ve delved deep into my sole to create my latest t-shirt.

Not only have I decovered the meaning life, the universe and everything…

…but I’ve made a pretty t-shirt too.

I like the way that sentiment sums up this tee design as well, about corporations being like a new, shiny form of religion (what’s that, there’s something else I can queue up for outside the Apple store?), but I think the argument is somewhat crippled when its being sold on a t-shirt, although thats probably the post-modern point.

I’m not sure how well this one will translate since I get the feeling that Haynes manuals might only be a British thing. For the uninitiated, Haynes produce manuals for lots of different cars (pretty much anything with an engine in it) so that people can do jobs on there cars that would otherwise have required a potentially costly trip to the local garage. I’ve got one for my little red beast (it looks just like this one, except a bit more battered and bruised), and it has helped me identify problems with it a few times. I really like the idea of Haynes mashup tees, they’re ripe for parody and famous robots or spaceships from science fiction provide decent fodder for them, as this R2D2 design attests.

Remember when I pointed out that Flickr Find by Wyel a couple of weeks ago? Well I had a little hunt around and found this tee by him. I think the idea is that the print is all the tings that could be found in a snakes stomach, or something like that. RedBubble are quite a new name to me, but according to their about page “RedBubble is an open and inclusive website where you can share your creative genius with the world.”…. and sell it! From the looks of things they handle the bothersome task of printing up your artwork onto t-shirts, prints, canvases, and you earn a cut. I’d really appreciate it if anyone could leave a comment if they have any experience of the quality of RedBubble products, since I haven’t heard much RedBubble chatter in the past on the blogs I read or forums I frequent.
