Last week Judah Friedlander wore Seibei‘s Sandwich Dinosaur shirt on an episode of 30 Rock, and apparently it got quite a lot of screen time (I’m way behind so I haven’t seen the episode yet). Always good to see us little guys getting some mainstream exposure.

Seibei’s Kickstarter Campaign is going really well

by Andy on August 16, 2011

in News,T-shirts

seibei kickstarter

When I heard that Seibei were going to be running a Kickstarter campaign I wished David luck, because traditionally, t-shirt companies don’t do particularly well on Kickstarter. I think that is probably because it is hard to do anything new and innovative in the t-shirt world, and that’s the kind of thing that pique the interest of the casual Kickstarter user that is browsing the site finding something interesting to invest in. However, David Murray is a popular dude, and I was previously unaware of the sad story behind why he even needed to run a Kickstarter project in the first place.

When he was preparing to do a craft show (I forget which), David’s van Beauford was stolen when it contained just about all of his stock (and that of another brand too), he eventually got the van back minus all of the shirts in the back. We can hope that someone is enjoying the shirts, though it’s unfortunately more likely that they were disposed of, because if anything can tie you to a crime it’s having a couple of hundred t-shirts with ‘Seibei’ printed on the neck.

So, Kickstarter projects are hard right? Especially fashion related ones? Not for David, he set his sights on a lofty $9,000 dollar, and already smashed that target over the weekend, and at the time of writing is well over $10,000. That says a lot about his fans and the community that surrounds one of the nicest guys in the industry, and I’m really glad that with that support there’s no need to fear that SEIBEI will be going quietly into the night anytime soon.

Just because David has reached his goal doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t back him, because the pledges are actually a good deal, and there are even a couple of shirts that will only be available through Kickstarter, which is a nice little extra for hardcore fans that already have a lot of SEIBEI designs in the closets.

GHOST BRO, a new tee by Mia Schwartz for SEIBEI [Submitted]

tee ghostbro1 GHOST BRO, a new tee by Mia Schwartz for SEIBEI [Submitted]

I’m really excited to announce the next step in the Seibei weekly tee program – bringing cartoonists and weird artists I’m friends with to a wider audience.

My first guest tee in almost two years is the super chill and ready for summer GHOST BRO by Mia Schwartz, a cartoonist and artist living in New York. Like all weekly tees before it, it’s on sale for one week at a special preorder price, and if it’s popular enough, it will enter the regular catalog. If not, who knows?

Printed on American Apparel Mint tees with pigmented discharge inks. Hope you like it!

[Andy: With me being in Berlin at the weekend the submitted posts have stacked up a bit so I'm trying to post them without it being a flood of submissions, which has led to me posting this weekly tee with just a couple of days left to order it (orders end May 13th at noon PST), so if you want it, order it.]

“The Essentials” D&D themed t-shirt by SEIBEI

by Andy on May 2, 2011

in T-shirts

dungeons & dragons t-shirt

This is Seibei‘s weekly offering, coming to you a little late because of Britain taking a 4-day weekend for the Royal Wedding (which we’re still on, I just can’t tear myself away from work for that long!). If you’re a Dungeons & Dragons fan then I’m sure you’ll enjoy this Experimental Jetset styled tee. The shirt is available until May 6th so you’ve got a few days left to pick it up.

The return of “I like to say things and eat stuff” at SEIBEI for this week only!

Thumbnail image for The return of “I like to say things and eat stuff” at SEIBEI for this week only!

Long time Seibei fans may well be aware that this is not a new design, or even an old design in a new colourway, which was kind of the point of the time-limited weekly releases that SEIBEI has been doing for a couple of months now, but there’s actually a pretty nice story behind this [...]

The new SEIBEI website is here, and looking good.

Thumbnail image for The new SEIBEI website is here, and looking good.

I teased about this last week when mentioning that our coupon code switched from HIDEYOURARMS to the rather more succinct HYA (good for 10% off), but I had clocked off for the (sunny) weekend by the time the new site went live. From the looks of things there aren’t any new shirts up on the [...]

Coupon code for 10% off at Seibei

Thumbnail image for Coupon code for 10% off at Seibei

We (meaning you, me, everybody) have had a coupon code for Seibei since the first year that this site was running, but David is going to be opening his new site soon (the excitement grows!) and that has a different cart system which necessitates changing all the coupons which were longer than 10 characters, and [...]

This is really incredible stuff, I’m very impressed. PalmerCash released some of the coolest looking Japanese Relief tees that have come onto the market since the tragedy last month, designs that you’d want to wear whether they supported a charity or not (which I think is key to getting people to buy them), and they [...]

SEIBEI Benefit Tee for Japan

Hey guys! As someone who’s studied in Kyoto, sold tees at Tokyo’s Design Festa, and has a lot of fans and friends in Japan, I felt like I wanted to do something to help after the recent string of natural disasters. So, for this week only (ending March 25th, NOON PST), I’m selling a limited [...]

TeeFury and Seibei get some prime TV time

Thumbnail image for TeeFury and Seibei get some prime TV time

It’s cool seeing brands from the t-shirt community getting some exposure to a wider audience, even if that audience won’t necessarily know what they’re being exposed to. I know I don’t mention TeeFury all that often, but even I recognise the two designs that turned up on House (another show that I’m told I should [...]

“Thirsty For Blood, Hungry for Tacos” this week at Seibei

Thumbnail image for “Thirsty For Blood, Hungry for Tacos” this week at Seibei

I know I’m a bit late on this week’s limited Seibei design, but it’s actually less of an issue than usual, because this week Seibei has a very dramatic twist to go with this classic design. To add a personal touch, me and David once ate hangover burritos together, I know that’s not the same [...]

Thumbnail image for “Eternal Pizza Party” available this week at Seibei

I’ve neglected to mention that my buddy David over at Seibei is trying something new, weekly designs. Alongside the regular catalogue of designs he going to put up something a bit more experimental, such as Eternal Pizza Party, let it pre-sale for a week, then print and ship the orders the week after that. If [...]

Ropeadope Design Collective, act quick!

Ropeadope have put together a really nice collection of artists (Wotto, Seibei, Yema Yema, amongst others) and got them to make some equally nice t-shirts. Problem is, they all went on presale a while back, and the pre-sale will end on December 13th, and even Ropeadope aren’t sure if they’ll sell them after that, so [...]

Lots and lots of sales, deals and coupon codes

Thumbnail image for Lots and lots of sales, deals and coupon codes

Had a great weekend in Brussels, but the t-shirt world continues to turn in spite of my absense (shocking, right?) and I got sent a lot of e-mails about deals over the weekend, so instead of eeking them out over the day I’m just doing one megapost stuffed with enough deals to keep your wallet [...]

If you’re a dedicated Seibei stalker like I am, you’ll be well aware that right about now, David Murray is flying over the Pacific on his way to Japan to exhibit at Design Festa. It’s a pretty big move for him, well, for any brand really, so it’s a good thing I got this interview [...]

Thumbnail image for Seibei is fat and wants to party with your zombie dinosaur

Apologies once again for the lack of regular updates, times are busy in the HYA household. My man David over at Seibei has big plans looking into the future including a new site and other stuff that I’ve forgotten. The new site was meant to be ready a few days ago but has been put [...]

New stuff from SEIBEI!

17.12.2009

            Yeah, I’m clearly not good at taking a break from writing about tees, however, I’m also not good at not doing the errands I need to cross off the list before going to London, so it’s a good thing I’m talking about Seibei, because we all know everything David [...]

Almost there!

26.10.2009

That’s me with Monaco in the background, and before anyone says it, I hate my teeth. One piece of blogging advice that I always remember is that you shouldn’t apologise for not posting, because if you have time to do that then you have time write posts of some value, but I’m a polite fellow, [...]

Forever Weird by Greg Abbott for Seibei

21.09.2009

I’m pretty sure that I’m right when I say that this is the first time that Seibei is releasing a tee that wasn’t designed by David, I believe there might have been a collaboration tee at some point in the past, but this is the first time that someone else has been given the keys [...]
