Last week I wrote a post about Seventh.Ink trying to reach a milestone of 3,000 fans on their Facebook page by Christmas Day. At that point in time they had around 2,955 (including myself), and as luck would have it they actually attained their goal in time! As a result, Seventh.Ink will be throwing a one day 50% Off Sale on New Year’s Day to thank all of their fans for the support. They put together an event on Facebook so you can RSVP and share with your friends. Be sure to visit the Seventh.Ink online store on New Year’s Day to get in on the sale!

Prefab77 is a Tyneside arts/street arts collective with a great deal of respect in the field, at least in the UK. Described by some as ‘The Geordie Faile‘, they’re known for their cut-up and paste up art which you’ll find on sale at Art Republic. Anyway I found a very cool t-shirt by these guys worth seeing, it’s called Heist…

Heist Tee

Very nice, love the edgy subject and check out that uber savvy logo detail on the back! £35 each, screen printed by Prefab77, and the first 20 customers get a free print too! Wowzers.

I think that Pete Manning and the design house Reluctant Hero are somehow connected to Prefab77, could be wrong.

Chuckles Tee

If you know someone who’s scared of clowns freak them out when they meet Chuckles. I’d loved to have seen a “killer clown” version lol.

Foot-ballin’ Tee

One for the jocks…

Momma Said Knock You Out Tee

Ouch!

Monkey-N-Around Tee

My fave out of the lot. I was born in the Year of the Monkey which might explain the fascination. Pass me a banana…

Wear My Sunglasses at Night Tee

Who said that?

More Ames Bros.

It’s been a long old wait since my last post on Ames Bros. – which is funny seeing as they are definitely one of my all-time fave t-shirt brands. Anyway I was strolling around the net and came across Project Shirt, it’s just a branded store that sells cool graphic tees but I’d noticed they’re offering up an alternative selection of shirts. Personally I prefer these to the ones on offer at Ames Bros. own store, see what you think, they range between $18.99 to $29 in a selection of sizes. A superb retro feel to these…

Autobot Vs Careless Bear Tee

Yay!

Nobody gets Hurt Tee

A nice twist on that rather annoying old British WW2 poster. Don’t carry on, kick up a fuss, it’s more fun lol.

Robot Kong Tee

Probably my favourite of the four, I love that retro woodcut feel to the illustration.

Ray Gun Tee

Pow pow!

Take a look at the rest of Project Shirt’s cool gear, which also includes two labels I have to feature very soon, Jinx and Heavy Rotation.

Baby Tees With A Difference!

admin    T-Shirt News     Evian, baby tees, funny t shirts

Take a look at these absolutely hilarious tees available via French mineral water brand Evian. They’re all available at 30 Euros each, two for the guys, one for the ladies. It’s supposed to be something to do with the “Live Young Community” whatever the hell that is. I guess it’s all a spin-off of their ad campaign by the advertising agency BETC Euro RSCG, who designed the shirts. Ah well, get your nappies on then :D

Sugar Steak Apparel

I’ve never had a sugar steak, I think it must be an American thing, a big fat American thing, you tell me, I’m just a skinny Limey. Anyway, Sugar Steak Apparel was founded by Kyle Creek in order to counteract the “the affliction of overly macho, predictable, and all-too-common attire in our society”. I’m not sure how much overly macho fashion you’ve come across but I’d say there’s plenty of variety out there no matter your taste. However I’m glad to introduce SSA to the mix because they really do make some cool tees, neither macho nor effeminate, they’re just cool. If you like street art, comics, and low run tees, (sometimes limited editions) then you really need to check them out. Their t-shirts are all available for $19.95 each (limited editions are $24.95) – they also do few nice sweats, decals and some special prices on their bundled shirts. What’s more all their tees come with a free decal too!

Short-STACK Tee

One of a couple of highly limited shirts, I love the crazy promo shot for this tee, the graphics are of course great, it looks like someone is bulking up lol. ;) There’s a nice little piece of subtle logo branding on the back too.

Ass-Backwards Tee

Probably the best piece of branding subterfuge I’ve ever seen. Geddit?

Party Animal Tee (Limited Edition)

Here’s a limited edition tee for the girls (or “dolls” according to SSA). I love the design but I’m not so keen on the colour combo, although I’m not a “doll” unless it’s Action Man I suppose hah.

Sweet ‘n’ Simple Tee

Last but not least it’s the Sweet ‘n’ Simple Tee, an ultra clean design, really smooth lines, and more food related craziness from the team at SSA. Very tasty…

Art Shirts @ Graniph

admin    T-Shirt Reviews     Graniph, Japanese t-shirts, allover, art shirts, art tees, artist t-shirts, cut and sew, jumbo prints

Graniph is a design house based in Tokyo, Japan. They offer plenty of very cool art shirts, cut & sew tees, hoodies and more plus they provide a great platform for artists wanting to get into the fashion trade. All the tees are on offer at JPY  2,500 which is roughly $29.69 each for guys and girls. There are literally 1000′s of tees on offer, too many too feature as it happens, but I wanted to share a few of my ultimate faves. Any of which would make a great late Xmas present if you want to risk the late post! Still worth thinking about for next year I s’pose! Don’t worry they have a translated section in case you haven’t brushed up on your Japanese lately. If you fancy trying your luck and submitting a few designs click here.

Anyway check these out:

Nicholas Lorden vol.02 Tee

An absolutely gorgeous ladies cut & sew tee by photographer Nicholas Lorden. Very moody. In case you’re wondering what the big deal is about a cut & sew tee, essentially panels of cloth are printed cut to size and then sewn together to create all over and jumbo prints. The same applies to side seam tees although they don’t seem as popular plus there’s also a technique using a belt screen printer which was big in the 90s. Check this post out at T-shirt Forums for some handy links.

Marcus Walters vol.2 Ladies Tee

A highly amusing tee by Marcus Walters featuring one of my fave artworks by the greatest conceptualist of all time. If you’re scratching your head right now, think about it. Over a 100 years ago a highly respected and influential artist ruins his career in order to point out the hipocracy of the gallery/salon system. Marcel Duchamp made the last factory worker on the line producing gents toilets to sign it, R. Mutt. Marcel was probably the nearest to a futurologist this world has ever seen, his conceptual ideas influenced most of the 20th Century, including artists like Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons. Duchamp is the man, and La Fontaine is the most hilarious sculpture ever produced…

National Flag Skull Tee

A smart idea, not sure how well it turned out visually but I love the concept all the same.

Colourful Mushrooms Tee

I spent my late teens scrabbling around damp hills surrounding Brighton, usually in October, all for the love of shrooms. Crazy design, turn on, tune in, tee out. Love that generous print size right up to the seams!

Naughty Ape Tee

Very Banksy. Although I am getting a little sick of ape designs, this tee is definitely cute!

Swifty 001 Tee

This superb take on a classic Warhol is by Swifty, a highly talented UK street artist…

Jack a Dandy Tee

This one is just plain weird, which is good by the way lol.

Alice Wars 2 Tee

Another edition of the classic Alice Wars tee. Balloons and guns, a perfect combo!

Andy Smith vol.03 Tee

Love this one, it’s by the designer/illustrator Andy Smith. Flying rats never looked so cute.

See ‘em all at www.graniph.com and make sure you check the sizes though as Japanese sizes can be a little less forgiving :p
