As you may or may not know Glennz is an old favourite here at Buy Tees. Glennz Tees – designed, produced, and run by the inimitable Glen Jones, a master of the pun and vector illustration has introduced a new and more democratic format to his beloved site. Formerly a star of Threadless.com Glen defected from the site and started up his own t-shirt store and has had phenomenal success in the market.

Not only does he sell t-shirts by the bucketful, his following around the world has continued to grow and grow, he even offers a collection of free iPhone wallpaper these days, so even if you find yourself proverbially naked, i.e not dressed in a Glennz tee, then you can always turn to your iPhone for a quick fix of Glennz unique surrealist view on life.

Anyway, here’s the latest news from Glen, he’s set up a voting section at his site, which essentially means he’s handing over the power to the people! If you want to see any of his latest designs printed up then vote, if you don’t then don’t! I’ve already checked a few myself, I was amazed at how many were sitting on the sidelines, and so just as a teaser I thought I’d feature a few of my personal favourites here. But if you want to wear any of these, get down there and vote, it’s the only way a teemocracy can work :p

Glennz – The T-Shirt Design Genius.

Even if you don’t think you’ve heard of Glennz (Glenn Jones) the t-shirt designer, you have, and if you haven’t, this is planet Earth and the year is 2008. I doubt any person alive with a love of t-shirts hasn’t seen one of his works. I’m sure we could debate whether this is art or not for years to come, but, as far as fulfilling all the requirements of classic t-shirt design, Glennz has to be the man.

I know this review will come across as a total creepfest, but I really don’t care, Glennz has to be one of the few t-shirt artists that made me believe I could make it in this industry. His works are some of the most memorable I have ever seen, sure they aren’t grunge, they’re not eroded, they’re not filled with vector shields and gothic text, or experimental photo-montage techniques, but those are all fads and fashions that will pass and eventually return again.

The world of design like the world of art follows some very basic principles in order to maintain their essential position in our culture. They enable us to visualise that which cannot be understood, or has been misunderstood. They must create a new iconography for each generation, they must speak to both the mass and the individual. Yet beneath all the diatribe, each artist, each designer, has to have their own distinct vision and a wealth of skill and technique to achieve it. read more
