Nonoloa T-Shirts – International Art Meets Fashion

admin    T-Shirt Reviews     Nonoloa.com, art platform, art shirts, artist collective, design, graphic tees, independent design, international design, nonoloa, unique fashion, unique tees

Nonoloa.com describe themselves as a ‘creative platform designing clothing from urban art’ – in other words they take from the streets, in this case the whole world of urban life, and transfer their unique art collection to a range of spectacular short and long-sleeved tees, polos, hoodies and sweatshirts. I recently visited their site for the first time and have to admit it is stunning in more ways than one. Apart from the beautiful and highly interactive design of the store, the products certainly do produce the wow factor, a very individualistic and inspiring range of t-shirts drew me in further

Enrique Flores, one of the people behind the Nonoloa label directed me towards Issuu.com which reveals more of the story and concept behind this avant-garde collective. Essentially they are as international as you can hope to find, their artists hark from every corner of the globe, ranging from as far and wide as Spain, the United Kingdom, Lebanon and even Tehran. I was astounded that a label could source so diverse a community of artists, each with their own pertinent input, both visually and conceptually, towards the Nonoloa platform. Incidentally some of their artists have even exhibited at the famed Tate Modern Gallery in Britain. You can see their works at Tate.org.uk.

Obama Tees at Ban T-Shirts – A Date To Remember

admin    T-Shirt News     Obama T-Shirts, ban t-shirts, ban-tshirts.com, democratic government, obama president, political tees, politics, president elect

Woot Obama is President Elect! To celebrate this momentous and historical event the groovy people at Ban-Tshirts.com have produced four new Obama related tees for your delectation. Now as you know I’m not too hot for slogan t-shirts, but I must admit that their tee entitled ‘The Day We Changed America‘ has the most succinct message I’ve seen in a long while. Who knows perhaps Obama will even change the world. Still calm down everyone, the guy has a lot to do and a whole heap of problems to deal with, the world economy, The Middle East, The Russians, the list is endless, but have patience and a little hope and who knows we may all look back on this time as the most important decision in a century.

As For TDWCA, essentially it’s a date, and for many a true antidote to the constant slogan tee reminders of the 9/11 tragedy, the last date that many across the world will remember for many decades to come, it’s wonderful to be able to direct our attention hopes to a new one and finally look towards the future! read more

T-Shirts For The Starry-Eyed

Do you idolise? Do you love your celebrities? I must admit I have a love-hate relationship with them all in general, I mean they’re for the main part paid beyond the wildest expectations of the ordinary man or woman, but nevertheless they have to be at the top of their game or they wouldn’t be able to afford their grand mansions in the leafier suburbs of Beverly Hills and the like. Still I have a soft spot for a few, the faux-genius of Andy Warhol, the dark hymns of lost soul Kurt Cobain, the machine-gun delivery and lambastery of Bill Hicks, hang on wait a minute they’re all dead? Hmm… perhaps that’s the trick, you can only truly be a star if you’re dead. Still there are plenty of living celebs with more than a smattering of cool about them and that’s exactly what WornFree.com are all about. read more

Sure I’ve been known to be slow on the uptake, I’m getting on you know, I don’t have my finger on the pulse when it comes to up-to-the-minute updates like some people in the t-shirt industry, but I get there in the end. Besides this blog is a hobby, a passion sure, but well I do have a life to live, besides there are plenty of t-shirts blogs out there for lists of discounts and contests if that’s what your after. I like to focus on designers and their stories, as you might have guessed, and whenever I get the chance I crowbar a few of my own tall tales into the mix, however I have to point you towards this contest, it’s for a good cause and it offers plenty of promotion and even though there’s no dosh involved you can’t really complain (if you believe in good karma).

You’ll have to hurry though, there’s only a few weeks left (gulp) – so if you’re gunning to get going here are the details… read more

A T-Shirt Forum For A New Generation

admin    T-Shirt News     Design By Humans, T-Shirts, Threadless, advertising, cameesa, discuss, illustrator, photoshop, screen-printing, t-shirt design, t-shirt forum, talk, tee shirts, woot

As Liz from PopCultureTees.com – the creator of the brand new t-shirt forum TeeDesignTalk.com told me the other day – “one forum (no names mentioned :p) out there is definitely the big boy of the industry – but I’ve always considered them more of an industry forum than a designer forum. When I was working in the screen printing industry, they were my first stop for technical questions…. not so much for design questions. They are definitely grumpy! I think that with all the people who are participating in sites like emptees and threadless there’s a whole new set of people who are interested in t-shirts, but coming from an entirely different direction. They’re the people who are design cool stuff, not t-shirts for schools and churches.”

I couldn’t agree more with Liz and hopefully you are also in agreement, we need to step up the evolution in the world of t-shirts and reflect the massive developments in our industry, it’s true that since the emergence of sites like Threadless.com there has been a noticeable key change in the attitude and culture of both designers and consumers of the beloved tee. read more
