Ruby Red Tees

I’m doing it again, breaking my own rules by featuring this designer as he doesn’t own his own indie store, however I have to give Roger Denyer the graphic wizard behind Ruby Red Design the kudos he deserves, besides he’s based near me on the coast in Brighton so call it community spirit if you will. During the week he works as Senior Designer for an international media company based in the UK. He’s responsible for the design and branding for many exhibitions and publications. T-shirt design provides an all together different kind of creative outlet. However Roger likes to spend his spare time designing t-shirts, he enjoys the freedom of creativity and the lack of corporate pressure involved in creating tees. “If I like what I create, I sell it, there’s no client to disrupt the flow.”

RubyRed t-shirts have won prizes at many t-shirt crowdsourcing sites including Teefury, Shirt.Woot, Ript Apparel, Goodjoe, TeeInvaders, many of which have evolved into top selling lines. Here’s a couple of my fave available tees by RubyRed right now at the Ozzie tee community RedBubble:

AT-AT Anatomy Tee
AT-AT Anatomy Tee

The AT-AT Anatomy tee reminds me of Moist Production‘s posters such as his creation (Hello) Kitty Anatomy. An extremely popular tee, you can get this hilarious shirt at $30.71 / £16.16 in all sizes and colours here.

Space Race Tee
Space Race Tee

This shirt is just superb, I’m actually working on a new piece myself which features a Space Hopper, so I can totally relate. I was even at the UK premiere of the very first Star Wars movie showing at Leicester Square in London in the 1970′s, this shirt is just about as tailor-made for me as they get. If you’re thinking is along the same lines you can buy the Space Race t-shirt for $30.71 / £16.16 in all sizes and colours here.

Soft Inside T-Shirt
Soft Inside Tee

Ouch! This t-shirt bites, but in the best possible fashion! I’ve seen dodgy Chinese toys on Watchdog, featuring dangerous springs sticking out the neck and a bit of bad stitching but this is a new one one me. You’ll never look at a soft toy in quite the same way again.You can buy the Soft Inside t-shirt for $30.71 / £16.16 in all sizes and colours here – but do watch your fingers :p

Graffiti Bombing
Graffiti Bombing Tee

I absolutely love this one, wordplay taken to a new level, expertly designed with some very nice half tones and a great image over all. Get your graffiti bomb (in t-shirt form) in all sizes and colours at $30.71 / £16.16 here.

You can keep up with all things RubyRed at his blog – keep an eye out for more of his tees – he’s everywhere!

Animal Farm Tees

Brand new label Animal Farm Tees are determined to make their mark in the industry, they’ve a whopping 250 tees on offer already, and although some are more original than others, you’re sure to find something to tickle your funny bone. To start off they’ve made the right move in offering a permanent discount to Buy Tees’ readers, their voucher code has been added to our permanent t-shirt discount section, quote “BUYTEES” at their checkout for a 10% discount! They’ve set up their own blog and feature new designs modelled by fans and friends, and with free S/H for the USA and flat rates (no matter how many tees you order) worldwide they’re determined to crack the international market too. You can pick between the cheapest option of a unisex tee to a higher quality American Apparel fine jersey tee for men and women, plus sweats and hoodies for every design.

Don’t expect beautifully illustrative designs, it’s more about the humour for Animal Farm Tees, still I’ve found a few that should appeal to many of you out there. Personally I’d clear out half the collection, there are too many generic funny tees out there right now, it’s originality and humour that’s going to launch this label ahead of the curve. If I was running the show I’d look online and each and every design that’s on offer somewhere else I’d strike off the books, still check these out, AFT definitely has a lot of promise!

Anti-Eco T-Shirts

Anti-Eco, despite the name, take the environment very seriously, all their tees are certified 100% organic and printed with water-based inks, their message is always ecological, and the subject for each and every t-shirt questions Man’s relationship with nature and the Earth. Yet they’ve still managed to hold on to their sense of humour, and in fact some of their shirts border on the hilarious. Anti-Eco is based in New York, they hand screen print every t-shirt there and ship around the world (free shipping to the US, Canada and Europe!), they do a nice sideline in Tote bags too, but we’ll stick with the tees. A percentage of each Anti-Eco item purchased is donated to the clean-up and preservation of wildlife in the gulf oil spill. and they update customers on how every dime is spent too.

I’d have to criticize Anti-Eco on their price structure, sure they handle the shipping and everything is hand made but $52 is way too step for a t-shirt, organic or not. Still, there’s always hope the guys will hold a sale in the near future? (Hint). If you’re sick and tired of the same well-meaning, hippified “Save The Earth” tees on offer just about everywhere these days, then you’ll probably appreciate Anti-Eco’s rather twisted sense of humour – even if you don’t appreciate the pricing!

A Little Radiation Brightens My Day Tee
A Little Radiation Brightens My Day Tee

I’m not as big a fan of the sun as I used to be, I spend more time at this screen or in the studio than out in the sun, but even I appreciate the sentiment. When people freak out about radiation they should take in to account it’s everywhere, here and in space, and there’s no getting away from it. Just try not to take your next vacation in Chernobyl… Get this tee at a whacking great $55 (ouch) in sizes XS-XL in black here.

Unnatural Inorganic All Fat Tee
Unnatural Inorganic All Fat Tee

I am a lapsed veggie, I spent a few years of my late-teens eating Quorn and Soy and didn’t touch a piece of meat till my 20s, however I hated vegetables at the time that didn’t help. When strangers started handing me pamphlets about annorexia I knew I had to turn to the dark side. Looking at my waistline it’s probably time to try again, although the smell of bacon kicks the crap out of lentil soup every time. Get this tee at a painful $55 in sizes XS-XL in white here.

Global Warming Sounds Comfy Tee
Global Warming Sounds Comfy Tee

For those who don’t understand how global warming can eventually lead to an ice age it’s time to go back to school. The fact is there are plenty of countries out there, including Britain, that suffer from crappy weather all year round (except for a few brief weeks of summer if we’re lucky), but the truth is if the world keeps heating up it’ll mean ocean currents like the Gulf Stream will be weakened just as it was 10,000 years ago when the temperatures across Europe dropped by 10°. Still it’s true, Global Warming does sound comfy lol.  Get this tee at a recession-ignorant $55 in sizes XS-XL in moss here.

Drunk As Lords

Straight out of the pub and off the printing press are the spanking new t-shirt brand Drunk As Lords. Set up by four friends who met in Chapel Hill, NC. they decided to form a t-shirt label so they could keep in touch share ideas, a few laughs and a few long distant beery cheers.  They include their influences from a whole variety sources, pop culture, indie rock, comic books and real-life anecdotes being a few.  They’re pretty new at this, and class their first four designs as their “freshman” effort, but are already working on new designs which they promise will be out soon.  Designs are printed on American Apparel tees in sizes S-XXL.

Here’s a couple to wet your appetite…

Shamon T-Shirt
Shamon Tee (Detail)

Shamon Tee

In Britain we’re well familiar with the late Jacko’s uninterpretable catchphrase (amongst other things), but that’s more down to the superb comedy Bo’ Selecta’ by the brilliant comedian Leigh Francis. Shame he’s just an idiot presenter on ITV these days. Anyway here’s DAL’s jaded tribute to Michael Jackson in the form of their Shamon T-Shirt. Available for $20 in sizes S-XXL.

The Incredible Drunk T-Shirt
The Incredible Drunk T-Shirt

The Incredible Drunk Tee

If you have a drinking problem you probably shouldn’t wear this one, even if you are a Hulk fan :p I’m not too much of a drinker myself, in fact hardly ever ,but I did used to watch Hulk on TV as a kid and I think I actually had a Hulk tee way back in the 1970s. I love the retro style of The Incredible Drunk T-Shirt, right down to the Plastisol print. I’m not usually a fan, I’d rather screen printed water-based stuff, but seeing as it’s harking back to the authentic vintage tees back then I can live with it. Yes it’s silly, it’s wordplay, but what the hell, it’s fun. Definitely in keeping with the DAL’s raison d’être! Available for $20 in sizes S-XXL.

Goodie Sale – April ‘Rules’ Day

Goodie Two Sleeves have officially renamed April Fools Day to April Rules Day. Sounds fine to me, I never was much of a practical joker, but I do like a good chuckle and Goodie Two Sleeves are knocking them out by the dozen these days. They’ve got a whopping 40 new tees on offer for the season and I’m in the mood for some cheering up! What’s more they’re offering a very generous 40% discount off all their new shirts for the next 5 days for guys and girls, which is bound to raise a smile with plenty of funny t-shirt aficionados out there.

Depends if you’re a die hard fan of the erm… king (cough). Here’s my favourite from the sale.

Godzilla T-Shirt

Godzilla T-Shirt (Girls)
A little slice of retro monster movie madness complete with angry dinosaur and 3d specs. It’s simple, funny and rather cool in a shabby chic kind of a way. It’d be nice to see something similar for the guys. Girls can get the Godzilla t-shirt in sizes S to XL for $21.98 ($13.19 in the sale) in aqua.

Stop The Press – Headline Shirts

Headline ShirtsIt’s been a while since Buy Tees has featured a funny t-shirt brand, so to pick up the mood and welcome in the Spring let’s have a few laughs at what’s on offer at Headline Shirts in San Francisco. Don’t expect intellectual debate or beautiful art, Headline Shirts create funny t-shirts inspired by the news. Be it pop culture, politics, music and of course history. They always have discounts on offer such as their $10 deals. Also look out for their extra special deals such as St. Stereotypes Day when every green t-shirt is just $10. Their postage costs are $5 for USA and Canada, $10 for international customers.

Personally I prefer the more cynical sarcastic tees on offer, everything from the US prison system, football violence, evil dictators, geekdom and the environment are tackled by Headline’s top team of highly facetious chimps. (Okay not really but the logo says otherwise). You can get all the latest from HS via Facebook, Twitter and RSS as well as their mailing list.

Proceeds T-Shirt

Proceeds T-Shirt

Sarky, snarky, funny. It’s true, so many celebs and politicians on the bandwagon, the thing is most of them ask the public for the money, funny how few shell out a decent amount themselves. I suppose that’s because their “time is so precious”. Get the Proceeds T-Shirt for men in S to 3X in red for $19.99.

Censored Document T-Shirt

Censored Document T-Shirt
Censored Document Tee

There’s nothing like an open government, and this is nothing like open government. If you want to know the truth about what’s going on in the Middle East, rely on Headline Shirts to put you straight. It seems that everything is actually fine, no one has died and… “The troops are having a blast here”. Great concept, love the message, get the Censored Document T-shirt for men and women in various sizes in white for $19.

You May Already Be A Loser T-Shirt

You May Already Be A Loser T-Shirt
You May Already Be A Loser T-Shirt

This one made me laugh, You May Already Be A Loser T-Shirt tackles one of my pet hates. My late father used to waste a small fortune on scratch cards. It’s like they are the most paltry form of entertainment in the world. At least if he was hooked on the geegees he get to see a race. Paying for the pleasure of scratching silver gunk off and eternal disappointment doesn’t appeal to me. Get this cool shirt for just $9 in Headline’s sale, available M for men (black) and just one Small red tee left for the women!

Cro-Magnum T-Shirt

Cro Magnum T-Shirt

Loving this one, imagine if you mixed up Planet of the Apes and the Dirty Harry movies? This is probably what you’d end up with. I really like the clean vector style in the Cro-Magnum T-Shirt too, available in all sizes for men in white for $19.

Go on, have a laugh, check out Headline Shirts.

New Glenn On The Block – Aled Lewis

Aled LewisYou’re probably all aware of Glennz tees, run by Glenn Jones, a highly talented and humorous Australian illustrator who has for the main part cornered his area of the market with a wide variety of pithy pun-based t-shirts illustrating much of the ridiculous in society and the media. However you might not have heard of Aled Lewis, who for all intensive purposes is as about as close to an apprentice if not challenger for the place as king of comic tees.

Their styles are interchangeable, both Aled Lewis and Glennz being masters of graphic design, sticking to the old adage that ‘less is more’ both manage to convey t-shirt designs packed with humour and artistic reference without cluttering their work with excessive details and effects. Pure as purest vectors can be. The only real difference I can spot is that Alex has a decidedly more British sense of humour, featuring such British icons as The Tardis from Doctor Who, medieval humour and old school punk rock in the form of a male chicken.

Aled doesn’t have his own store as such however you’ll be relieved to know that all his works are available as winning designs (sometimes in collaboration with others) at Threadless and Shirt.Woot. Let’s take a look at some of Aled’s funniest creations and see exactly why this guy may become the new t-shirt king of comedy!
