Terrific Glyphs!

admin    T-Shirt Reviews     Glyph Cue, MWM, Matt W Moore, abstract tees, discount, glyph, glyphs, sale, voucher

I only discovered GlyphCue.com today, they’re the current designers at Ltd. Tee who are selling their amazing Mandala box set for $24.99 If you fancy buying a set yourself you can save yourself a bundle by using the discount code ONEWEEK at the checkout to get a generous 30% of the standard price.

It looks more like a “Mandela” t-shirt than a mandala tee, still it’s a great design, very tribal, almost African, and some nice cuts in the tone and line. Designed by Matt W. Moore who is the co-founder of Glyph Cue and the founder of MWM Graphics based in Portland, Maine. Matt exhibits his artwork in galleries all around the world and works across disciplines, from colourful digital illustrations in his signature “Vectorfunk” style to free-form watercolour paintings and massive aerosol murals… If you fancy knowing more then lap it up at Addicteed’s interview with Matt here.

For those out there scratching their heads and asking “what the hell is a glyph?” you’re in luck. Before I introduce you to the wonders of Glyph Cue’s tees take a look at their simple but informative explanation for the name:

def. GLYPH
– - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – -
– A graphic symbol whose appearance conveys information.
– A symbol for referring to a planet, zodiac sign, or other esoteric concept.
– A visual in the form of a symbolic figure carved or incised in relief.
– A symbolic figure or character, usually a picture, that gives information.

Phew. So you can take your cue from that :p Anyway, all that asides, if you like your t-shirt artwork on the abstract side, with plenty of interesting details to keep eyes glued in your direction then check out these beauties…

12 Hour Truce T-Shirt

This is a weird one, I mean that in a cool way, almost designed to mess with your head, here’s what GC have to say about the design “Within this interlocking 12 point star lies many visual narratives. Two 6 point stars join to create the clock formation. Unfinished Tic-Tac-Toe game says it all.” Screen-printed on a heavyweight cotton tee (they all are), the 12 Hour Truce tshirt is available for $33 in sizes S-XL here.

Dilated Grid T-Shirt

Loving this one, the design is inspired by a Hip Hop breakbeat loop, hovering between the abstract and the literal, this tee has a superb “vibe”. Very mellow indeed. Available in all sizes for $33 here.

Big Bang T-Shirt

Pretty and trippy, if you stare long enough you’ll space out, or so I am told, obviously I can’t, I could never do those Magic Eye posters either. Cool t-shirt available in all sizes at $33 here.

Mosaic Mucho T-Shirt

Another very cool abstract tee, one of the best logo tees I have ever seen, the designer actually makes you “work” to see their branding. Lovely old retro and particularly “Atomic” motifs, gridtastic! Only available in L-XXL sizes for $33 here.

See the rest at www.glyphcue.com. If you fancy getting a limited edition box set from Ltd. Tee then hurry there’s only (as I write) 6 days left for their Mandala shirt!

Fifty Percent Off Tolky Monkys Tees

Woot! If you’re after a bargain and are one of the first five people to read this post then do I have a bargain for you! Totally mad t-shirt label Tolky Monkys have done it again, here’s the thinking behind the offer in their own insane words…

“When last year the Tolky Monkys sent the Resales, Sally and Sally, back home, they thought that these naughty twins would never come again to make a visit. They were wrong. Surprisingly, they have knocked at their door and in only 10 minutes they have destroyed the whole studio. How naive they were… After that, they have created for us a special coupon with a 50% off.“

I know once again the reasoning behind Tolky Monkys’s wisdom has been lost in translation, still, all you need to know is this…

The first 5 readers to use this coupon code: REBUYTEES can buy any adult tee at just 50% of the usual price. The offer doesn’t include posters, metro-wallets, but does include boys t-shirts, girls t-shirts, hoodies and polos. You have from Wednesday 23rd till Thursday 1st of October to use this coupon: REBUYTEES. But be quick, only the first 5 readers will take advantage of it.

If you need a recap on the madness of TM then check out this past review, but hurry, the first 5 to order get a real bargain!!

Make Your Mum Proud

admin    spreadshirt     Mothers Day, discount, mom, mum, spreadshirt, spreadshirt sale, spreadshirt t-shirts, spreadshirt.net, tees

Yes this one’s for the Brits, well the Europeans at any chance, it’s not for moms, who don’t exist over here, they can be mothers, though not it the way you might hear between two taxi drivers stuck in a New York traffic jam, no, definitely not. Anyway if you love your mum, and I don’t mean that in a Greek tragedy way, I mean the normal “thanks for going through labour for me” and no I don’t mean working her way through a post-socialist political party either.

Anyway, you can say it with flowers, but well she’s probably sick of the sight of daffodils. You could say it with chocolates, but hey, she’s probably sensitive about her weight these days. So say it with erm… a Spreadshirt t-shirt? Well maybe, I don’t know your mother, she might be that way inclined. I sometimes think Spreadshirt resemble Hallmark more everyday, at least they have a sale on to mark the occassion. Roll on T-shirt Review Bloggers Day, in case you’re wondering what I’d like, it’d have to be a manual flatbed screen printing press for my art (A0 and up). They seem to be rather thin on the ground in this part of the world. read more

A Quarter Pound Sale At Kowtow

If you’re not familiar with Kowtow Clothing I’ve written about them before here, they’re a New Zealand based fashion label with a great range of graphic t-shirts on offer. Anyway if you haven’t bought one of their iconic fashion items before then this is most certainly the time to hop on board, Kowtow are offering a whopping 25% off all their clothing now and until the end of February!

The only way to describe Kowtow’s style is uncompromising, if you have any antipodean assumptions floating around your head then Kowtow is most likely the best place to shake them up and leave them in a thosand tiny pieces. When I first came across their work I expected their studio to be based somewhere in the gritty underbelly of New York, artistically they lend a lot to the late 1960s Pop Art movement, names like Warhol and Rauschenberg are just two that come to mind. Their bold and upfront iconography has to be seen to believed, and their subject matter, well eclectic would be an underestimation. Furthermore all of Kowtow’s products are 100% organic and fairtrade, they even send a FREE CD with every order – anyway let’s take a look at a few of the goodies they have on offer right now! read more
