T-Shirt Recession

I found this rather apt tee at Clint Tees ( a sub-label of the very cool HeadHoods) the other day, if you’re feeling the pinch you might want to say it with a t-shirt.

I Can’t Afford To Love N.Y Tee

Available in black and white in sizes XS-XL for a recession busting $14.99 each. Broke is the new rich.

New Tees at Robit

Our mate Steve at Robit Studios has just released a couple of new t-shirts for your delectation. I particularly like Most Of You Are Average – a simple but effective t-shirt offering a nice slice of mathematical tongue-in-cheek humour. Also for all you 8-bit games fans – you might want to check out based on perhaps one of the most bizarre ideas ever conceived. An old arcade game and Atari console favourite Joust (don’t ask me why) the action essentially involves fighting knights riding around on ostriches. All I can say is ‘don’t do (bad) drugs m’kay’.

On a more depressing note Steve (as many of us) has found himself without a job, that’s the sign of the times it seems for a vast swathe of the global population, so if you fancy helping out his dreams of building Robit Studios into a major label then do check out all of his fab tees! Let’s keep our fingers crossed that Steve can use the time to churn out plenty of more killer tees and avoid the old 9-5 from now on!

Hell To Pay T-Shirt by Paul Baines

‘There will be hell to pay’ – nothing seems to be free these days, or nothing of value. It seems that everything is going cheap now the recession has started to bite the four corners of the world (someone tell me, was this planet once a cube?). Life is cheap (depending which country you live in on a scale of 1 to 10), so are promises (and that includes all political ones), the earth is running out of every conceivable raw material out there, and yet I can go to Morrisson’s Supermarket (I hate all supermarkets equally btw), and buy enough for a barbecue for four for only a fiver. What’s that all about? This isn’t an ad for a supermarket, honest! Don’t worry I’m not tied into any secret sponsorship deals, but do buy a Lexus, change your long distance provider, let me do an insurance comparison quote for you and drink more alcopops. The point is everything of value is paling into comparison to the all encompassing economic might for crude. Oil is the be all and end all right now, and unlike a few energy crises we’ve had over the past half century, this one is permanent.

I was busy building up my database of my t-shirts on the Buy Tees blog, (yes a little bit shameless self-promotion can go a long way), when I received an email mentioning a new Threadless Clone, amusingly named IcecreamTshirts.com. I’ll be reviewing as many lesser-known Threadless.com style t-shirt voter sites shortly, I’ve built quite a substantial list so far and am more than open to other suggestions. In the meantime, perhaps it was their cute and friendly site design, or their laid-back approach to selling t-shirts, or the fact that this is the first dual language t-shirt voter site I’ve come across, whatever the reason, I couldn’t resist designing and submitting my latest work in to their capable hands (I hope they’ve washed them first, I wouldn’t want my shirt to get all sticky!).

For the few t-shirts submitted there (a major draw for any designer competing at the likes of read more
