15% To Japan Earthquake Relief @ Northern Code

admin — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 01:05:35 +0000

Check out the first offering from the all-new indie Brit label Northern Code who have graciously opted to donate 15% of all sales to the American Red Cross. The ARC are providing relief to the victims of both the earthquake and the Tsunami that so severely struck Japan on Friday.

Star Tee

An interesting piece of abstract montage. You can see plenty more of their designs at their Facebook page – in fact you can vote for which you want printed next. In the meantime help save a life and add something stylish to the wardrobe. The Star T-shirt is available on pre-order for £12 in sizes S-XL. Shipping begins mid April.

The brand definitely has promise, which is all the more reason why they should invest in a real TLD, .TK domains have a habit of disappearing on you when your traffic peaks. :/

Looking forward to what their fans decide should be the next tee!

Donald F#%k Tee

Mickey’s famous stooge having the last laugh just as the bomb drops. Nicely nasty. $15 each in next week’s sale in sizes S-XL for guys and girls. Designed by Diogo Machado.

WingedNaut Tee

I love astronaut art, I’m actually working on an astronaut piece myself at the mo’. This is so cool, they’ve sold out of small sizes for guys otherwise all other sizes available. Designed by SABAS.

Whilst I’m at it I thought I’d try and see if my controversial We Heart You Tee could even last a day at Loviu. If you fancy helping me out (got a quid for a cuppa’ mister?) then a vote for my submission would be lurverly!

We Heart You Tee

Here’s my own design submission – it’s all about the sweat trade. Vote for it here.

It Began Just Because Tee

admin — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 15:03:09 +0000

This one’s via UK’s Sheol Clothing, an indie tee label with just three tees on their books, still it’s a nice subtle number…

It Began Just Because Tee

It reminds me Japanese ghost stories and the deliberate over exposure of the photographic sequence harks back to Warhol’s experimentation with screen printing, i.e. letting the ‘juice‘ run out… Dreamy, beguiling, I’m rather transfixed. Just £12 in sizes S-L it’s definitely a bargain for the art house crowd.

Not too keen on the other two, still, fingers crossed more inspiration will come Sheol’s way. I have to admit the story behind the name is pretty wild too…’Sheol is the ‘grave’, ‘pit’ or ‘abyss’, as a concept it predates the Christian and Muslim ideas of judgement after death and differs from Heaven and Hell. Dichotomous and ambiguous, Sheol opens the possibility of interpretation; it allows space for free will. You can push and pull the concept and find your own boundaries.’

Love it. The guys seem sound and I like the concept, but more well conceived tee graphics should be at the top of their agenda right now. See what ya think here.

Arkaik

admin — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 14:08:23 +0000

Originally started by young entrepreneur Alex Mitchell, Arkaik was acquired by fellow t-shirt guy Jordan Abidor, and the tradition of strong concepts and a highly skilled pool of artists remains to this day. Social networking got the label to where it is today, as well as strong ties with the music industry and more recently involvement in the music festival scene.

They have a whole heap of great tees on offer but these 3 tees really caught my eye. Just $20 each and superb graphics!

King of Sea (Reprint) Tee

Great to see a reprint of Arkaik’s signature tee King of Sea. Only 20 printed from their ‘vault’ at $20 each – sizes left are XS-L.

Nar-kaik Tee

My fave of the lot, shipping now in sizes S-L for $25 each. Only 30 printed so snap ‘em up, all the XL’s are sold out :0

Dinobama Tee

I know, we’re all sick to the death of Obama gear, but hey, dinosaurs are cool right? If this is a T-Rex then the Republicans will no doubt front a Velociraptor as their candidate :p Only L sizes left, one for me then heh.

All the tees come with a custom printed inner label and top notch printing. Well worth a visit… here.

Running With Scissorhands Tee

admin — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 17:57:36 +0000

It’s funny, I was just writing about how most funny t-shirts need to improve in the artwork department. Well, here’s another example of why one doesn’t need to compromise another. It’s the latest winning t-shirt at S.A crowdsourcing site Springleap.

Running With Scissorhands Tee

Designed by Kookylove (don’t worry that’s not their real name) and available for £17 in sizes S-L for girls and S-XL for the guys.

T-Shirt Party

admin — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 14:15:07 +0000

Let’s get this straight from the start, T-Shirt Party is a Brit label, they’ve got some really cool tees on offer but the site is a mess, and those dodgy Youtube videos don’t help. But what the hell, it’s all about the (t-shirt) love, so let’s partay!

All the tees come in sizes M-XL in white – ‘because G’s only wear white!’ and prices including postage range from £10 to £15 depending where you are in the world. Original ideas, great designs, edgy, dodgy and heaving with attitude, definitely one for the rudeboys. If you can stand the heat enter the T-Shirt Party…

Get ‘em all here.

Lucky Brains Tee

admin — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 13:59:05 +0000

Yes it’s another tee by 7th Ink, and for those wondering out there, and no I don’t work for them (even if I do write a lot of posts about them). I suppose it all comes down to the sin of pride. I really feel like I’ve helped move this label up to centre stage as far as the t-shirt market is concerned. And with good reason!

Lucky Brains Tee

Here’s my fave from the latest crop of new tees at Seventh.Ink Apparel. One of my faves so far in fact, the Lucky Brains Tee is on pre-order for $20 each (rrp $24) and starts shipping March 11th. Get it in sizes S-XXL for guys and girls.

And here’s my fake backstory :p “A factory is built upon an Indian Burial Ground/secret cache of weapons grade Uranium/a secret cloning laboratory, and when they receive an order to manufacture a million boxes of a popular brand of breakfast serial, all hell lets loose. Lucky Brains, coming to a kitchen near you soon“.
