Get ‘em all at $18.95 each for guys (sorry girls you’ll have to go butch this season) in sizes S-XXXL.

Trap Tee

OMG I love it, yes it’s another Fairey clone, but what a superb choice for a subject. The highly obscure one-liner in Return of the Jedi (that’s a proper Star Wars movie), when Admiral Ackbar yells out “It’s a trap!”. He’s my 2nd fave character after the rather mysterious and moody Bobba Fett. Ackbar has a real cult following, asides being featured in everything from Family Guy to Robot Chicken, as of March 2010, students at the University of Mississippi continue a push to elect Admiral Ackbar as their next on-field team mascot. Great stuff, and strangely quasi-political in it’s own unique way.

Zombert and Zernie Tee

This should be the teaser for the movie, Zombies on Sesame Street. Awesome.

Retired Plumber Tee

So long Mario, it’s about time.

Epic Duel Tee

Bloody hilarious, it’s not just fighting that the T-Rex found tricky :p

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

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

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

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

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!
