Animal Head Tees

Frederik Garcia is a tasty Barcelona label (with a lovely site – check out their screen-printing movie) that exudes a passion for the art and craft of designing and creating hand-printed t-shirts. It’s kind of a culture shock visiting the site, as it’s something more like a surrealist gallery than a store. The limited edition tees are in three surreal categories: Animal Heads, Barrio Maps and Cinq Petite Rêves (5 Little Dreams) although I’ll only be featuring their ‘Animal Heads’ tees, as most of the product photos seem to be part of some strange montage experiment, which I’m sure will make little sense to most t-shirt fans.

If you’re a Jamiroquai fan then these designs will be highly familiar, as the concept is on the same lines as their famous graphic logo. Still a nice selection of graphic tees, all in white, limited to 200 each and priced at €19.90 each plus shipping.

Cerva Tee

“A doe, a deer, a female deer…“. Like I say a very familiar design, I looked up Frederik Garcia at Google hoping to find a connection with Jamiroquai, but no joy there.

Cervus Tee

This one’s for the stags :p

Cunicula1 Tee

The original bunny girl tee.

Cuniculus Tee

Get the matching pair and prove to your fluffy tailed other half you’re in for the long run.

Aucellus Tee

Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.’ She sure ain’t no looker but she looks good in black.

Elefantem Tee

I’ve never seen an elephant fly but at least now I’ve seen one wearing pants and sneakers :-0

A nice selection of silhouette tees, could be more original. If you want to delve further into Frederik Garcia’s subconscious do check out the other collections, a surreal taste would be a distinct advantage, www.FrederikGarcia.com.

Laura R. Perkins Elephant Tee

I just got an email from Pini of Laurarperkins.com in Spain, he chose Buy Tees to announce that Laura R. Perkins, a record label from Barcelona, Catalunya is expanding its horizons and entering into the fold of fashion. To be honest when I first read it I thought it was from Dorothy Perkins or Laura Ashley or some corporate combo – thankfully I was wrong… god knows what kind of a record label a high street fashion chain would run. Anyway Pini tells me that having a history of working closely with the urban art scene, it makes a lot of sense for LRP to formalise their arts connections, beginning with the release of their first collection of tees all designed by Masmuf Grafics.

However I do wish them all the best, it’s great to see more and more of us involved in the arts trying out new mediums, experimenting in collaborations and generally mixing it up. I’m also looking forward to seeing what other directions LRP takes in the future. In the meantime do check out their Elephant t-shirts, kinda Art School sci-fi, nice.

Elephant T-Shirt

You can get the Elephant tee in white, brown or light blue for €20 each at www.laurarperkinshop.com

Up until the end of August if you buy any tee you will receive a bonus Curnelius Anonymous CD.
