A blog about hoodies & t-shirts, with news from the independent clothing world

I don’t think that Wrongwroks ever take a day off (despite facts!), they/he put out designs at a rate far beyond what you’d expect of a brand their size. You can expect more pop culture mashup madness if you click through for a couple more pics from the collection.Wrongwroks

Back Once Again by Lowman

Its simple, its just text, its just black and white, but its definitely very cool. Am I the only person that gets reminded of “Renegade Master” by Wildchild/Fatboy Slim when you read “Back Once Again” on this tee?

For those of you that give a damn about people and the planet, these tees are carbon emission neutral, and not made using sweatshop labour… huzzah!

Photo prints can often come out distinctly ‘meh’, but I guess that its a lot easier to get them right when you do them in black and white, and this one has definitely been done right.

Cute overload! Cute overload!

Congrats to Go Ape on their 2nd birthday. Next week, for a month, Josh (Mr. Go Ape) is going to China (lucky him!), but he is leaving shipping duties in the presumably capable hands of his girlfriend, Caren, so hopefully you won’t be able to notice a difference in service.

I can’t remember writing about a t-shirt that has a technical illustrative style for quite a long time, so it was about time I posted one, and to post one that ‘guarantees fresh rhymes’ only makes the deal all the sweeter, although I guess that if you’re American the price is about as sweet as lemon juice being squeezed into your eye whilst chowing down on coffee grounds.

Red Heart Dorabob by Wrongwroks

She’s no uggo, but she’s no Nat either!

To go along with the last few releases from Wrongwroks that I’ve blogged about, here is the third design to go in the first part of their summer collection. It features their dorabob character reimagined as a heart, so I guess this tee is Spongebob x Doraemon x a heart. I guess that they’re sticking with Zoe as the model for the time being, I wonder if Nat will ever be coming back?All the new tees and new hats are available in their store.

Ashlee Simpson is a terrible painter, looks good in a tee though

If you don’t get the title, Ashlee Simpson/Wentz is pregnant (right?) so… in a few months there’ll be baby puke on her clothes, not paint, and given the choice, I’d prefer paint to puke. I think this is actually a pretty cool looking t-shirt, you could really have some fun if you were making one of these up for yourself, and you’d always end up with a unique tee.

Tiffany Godoy wears a new summer tee by Wrongwroks

It turns out that I’m not the paradigm of coolness that you all believed me to be, as I didn’t recognise the name of Tiffany Godoy when I first heard it, but then when I read that she was the one who wrote Style Deficit Disorder things started to become a bit clearer for me, and I felt cool again.This new tee is classic Wrongwroks in terms of ideology, but a bit of a departure from the norm in terms of style. Would I be right in thinking that in this design Marge is being grabbed by the white glove of Krusty the clown? He wears white gloves, right? Or maybe Wrongworks are returning to one of their older themes and the glove actually belongs to Mickey Mouse? Who knows? Clearly I don’t.Wrongwroks

Sans Serif by Turn Nocturnal

Sans Serif White T-shirt by Turn Nocturnal, its fontalicious!

If there’s a brand that I’m increasingly excited to find out about their latest releases, Turn Nocturnal are it, they haven’t put out that many designs, but each one is a winner, and their latest offering is no different. Clearly, and somewhat surprisingly, t-shirts based upon fonts are popular, seeing as they’ve been mentioned in one form or another three times this week on HYA, and as long as they’re as good as this one then I’m pretty happy about that.This tee is currently sold out in most sizes, but they are restocking so keep checking back if you’re interested.

One x Fifty Thousand Charity T-shirt

I’m sure that you’ve all heard about the earthquake (and following aftershocks) that have devastated large areas in China, leaving around 34,000 dead, 29,000 missing, and almost 5 million left homeless. At times like this the design community often attempts to finds ways to help that go beyond just giving money, and the above tee is trying to do just that.It isn’t actually on sale yet, but things seem to be fairly far along so it shouldn’t be too long now. I’ll let the designer explain the design and what they’re trying to do with it:

I thought it would be cool to do something to show the true magnitude of the number of lives that have been lost, while still celebrating the uniqueness of each individual. I decided I would make a single tally mark for each of the estimated 50,000 casualties (I actually decided to do it when I still thought the number was around 12-13k, and while my investment of time is now greater - I think the significance of the project has increased as well). So the final design will feature 50,000 unique, individual marks.

50,000 lives lost
50,000 individual marks
50,000 shirts
50,000 people supporting the cause

My goal would be to sell each of the 50,000 shirts for $20 over-cost in order to raise a minimum of $1,000,000.00. Our target price is currently $24/shirt

Each shirt will be individually numbered (1 of 50,000 and so on) on the back shoulder. Shirt numbers 1 and 50,000 will be reserved for an auction to help raise even more support.

I was also thinking that we could allow for donations above and beyond the final price tag - so if I wanted to buy the shirt for $50.00, I could do so.

The final donation would be given to either the Red Cross or World Vision, or some other relief organization currently working in China.

It would be brilliant if they could reach their goal of $1 million dollars for charity, getting everything set up quickly is clearly very important, so that the events are still fresh in people’s minds.
