Old Tree Designs is definitely a new kid on the block, for a start there’s only one shirt up for sale right now, but it’s a goodie, if you like cute, which perhaps because of the remains of a post Christmas high blood alcohol count I’m more than in the mood for. Don’t worry fellow grumps, I will be regaining my usual dour aspect in the very near future. Still, ahhh.

Fragile But Bearable Tee

Cute and cuddly limited edition tee for women (guys sizes have run out!) available in S-L for $20 each.

Here’s the story on OTD… Pedro runs a little clothing line called old tree designs – right now he’s still attending high school in Massachusetts and wants a career in graphic design and hopes that one day he can sell his limited t- shirts around the world because he loves fashion and designing.  His clothing brand took off when he started selling buttons/pins at just 13 year old! Now there’s an artist with marketing skills!

Fox Trap Tee

This one’s for the girls, well one girl anyway. There’s just one Fox Trap Tee left at Concrete Rocket (although if there are three sizes I’m guessing a few). It’s one of the best Concrete Rocket have ever produced and a superb girl power tee for the ladies. Turning the ‘ol Red Riding Hood fairytale on its head, the design is more reminiscent of something like Resident Evil! Love the illustration style on this one, a totally classic design. All Concrete Rocket’s tees are custom cut to a slimmer fit btw so you will look snazzy. If you’re out of luck with the girls’ fit there are always the guy’s version here. Get it for $21.90 in either style (if you can!).

The Sun Always Shines on LadyUmbrella

For those of the female persuasion we have a real treat for you, a feature on LadyUmbrella, an art t-shirt company based in Ireland, and fuelled by the creative powerhouse that is the Spanish designer Elena Montes Casado. In fact it was her experience of arriving in rainy Dublin directly from the hot and spicy climate of her home in Madrid that prompted her to think of the name. “I saw lots of people with umbrellas and couldn’t really see peoples faces and from that I got the idea…”. Casado’s love of animals also shows through in a lot of her work, birds and beasts of all kinds appear in her art, in her own words “I can’t imagine her talking to human beings so instead she has lots of feathered friends (for now).”

LadyUmbrella is an immediately recognisable character for one very obvious reason, she has an umbrella for a head, don’t laugh, it’s poetic or symbolic or something…

I love the style, it reminds me of animation I used to watch growing up as a kid in Britain, it was so gentle and delicate then, a world away from the slick CGI of nowadays. Dreamy, that’s the word, something along the lines of Crystal Tipps meets the original Moomins.

LU launched their online t-shirt store on the 20th of January 2010 and have created a lovely site and store, and of course collection. The whole feel of the brand is light, slightly dreamy and very delicate, something rare in the world of t-shirt art. So… if you’re ready to meet LadyUmbrella read on! read more
