I was drawn to this shirt because of it’s simplicity, it’s just a pleasingly straightforward image that says the two things that you need to make something tasty. I was completely unaware that Salt & Fat is also an excellent food blog that I’ve squandered a few minutes browsing just now when I know I should be focused on blogging not beets.
If you’re after food t-shirts, then it might be worth checking out this list of 200 food t-shirts I wrote a while back.

When I found out that Rumplo was being sold by the original owners I got a bit excited, firstly because I loved the site when it was running and would be glad to see it back. Secondly, I had hoped that I might be the one that eventually bought it, but apparently running a moderately popular blog doesn’t earn enough to buy a site that was getting more than a million pageviews a month at it’s peak, who’d have guessed!
My evident bitterness aside at not having yet another site that I can let languish in my protofolio, Rumplo is back, and that’s a damn good thing. There haven’t been any major changes made to the site since it’s takeover by a group of Australians, beyond fixing up the database and working out a few bugs. Whilst it’s not necessarily needed, there is a redesign in the works, which is hardly surprising considering that the site looks very similar to when it was launched 3 years ago.
Obviously after such a long period of downtime the range of t-shirts in the database will have suffered a bit. There has been almost a year without tees being submitted, and you have to think that quite a lot of the shirts that were already in the database may no longer be available at the shops that sold them. I think in a few months that will be less of an issue as people start visiting and submitting again, so hopefully it will once again become a great resource for tee hunters.

This is off-topic, but it’s good enough to be off-topic that I shouldn’t need to justify it, but I just did, so we’re covered from all angles.
Print Society is a site from the team that created
Rumplo. Basically, it is to art, what
Rumplo is to t-shirts, and I’m fairly sure that can only be a good thing, because it makes it easier for you to find cool art to make your walls less empty, because emptiness causes depression, and that’s (probably not but who knows really) a fact!
It’s been going for a while and there’s quite a few artists on there who I recognise, but also quite a lot that I don’t but whose work I like the look of, which is basically proof that the site works well, so check it out.

As ever, I think this tee would benefit a bit from increasing the print size so that it filled out the shirt more, but otherwise I really enjoy the simplicity of it.

Good news! This cute graphic is available as a
hoodie as well as a t-shirt (and apparently in 1,200 colour combos!). Did anyone in HYAland have a Tamagotchi? I did, I got it on holiday in Lazarote, I thought they were really cool until I had one, at which point I realised they were actually pretty stupid.
Costiness=$19.99 for the tee, $39.99 for the hoodie Available from Neighborhoodies [via Rumplo]
