admin    T-Shirt Reviews     Threadless, contest, t-shirt

Hey all, yes this is a little cheeky of me but I need your support! If you’re a member of Threadless.com come and show some props for my first submission to the Goliath of t-shirt contest sites. Don’t worry I’m not expecting any miracles, it’d just be nice if I had a few watching my back on this one. Anyway check out my t-shirt design at Threadless simply entitled “Naked Eye“.

It would be great to put my money (if I had any) where my mouth is, but I’m worldly weary enough to know that miracles rarely happen, but if somehow I did make it through with this design you can bet it would put a big smile on my face knowing that I had my readers on my side. After all if I am a t-shirt reviewer I should at least try and prove my worth. What’s more if I make the grade expect some freebies at Buy Tees!

Still expecting egg on face all the same hah… read more

Time Travelling T-Shirt

Yes I’m not the greatest fan of slogan tees…

but come on, if you are going to buy a slogan t-shirt, at least make sure it’s so whacked out and beyond the pale that even the freakiest trendsetters out there will stop, stare and drop their jaws in reluctant respect.

If you’re so far ahead of the latest trends and fashions that either: read more

Thriving Ink Sale Now On!

I haven’t got around to fully reviewing Austin, Texas based urban clothing label Thriving Ink, but this seems like the perfect opportunity, especially as they are currently holding a sale on all their tees. Buy one and get one free at TI – the coupon code is CUST2 and it expires August 31st. Plus they offer free shipping (I’m guessing USA and Canada) for all orders over $50.

ThrivingInk.com seems to me, more like a community than a t-shirt label, even if you don’t fancy buying a t-shirt right this minute there’s plenty more to do at their site. Check out the artists section or keep updated on all the events they attend and organise. Their community section features plenty of places to see their machinations on the net, and gives you a chance to hook up with the people behind the label. Hook up at Myspace.com or Facebook.com or check out their videos at YouTube.com or you can keep up-to-date on all their latest exploits at their blog – well I say that but actually it seems a little neglected :/ read more

Wave T-Shirt at Threadless

(Reader slaps hand against forehead in disbelief) I’m at it again, at Threadless, doing my thing, and what appears to be an extremely unpopular thing at that. I’ve taken quite a few knocks at Threadless.com – I’ve hardly gathered any support and I doubt I’m making friends there. My partner Christina wants to convince me there’s some kind of conspiracy going on there, and it’s all down to writing this blog.

I know it’s far less complicated than that, my designs just aren’t good enough to compete on the world stage, which is fine, I can live with that, or rather I can work with that. Avoid all-out puns wherever possible is my first advice, they don’t seem to appreciate much of that at Threadless, and if at all possible be an expert illustrator, which will probably take another 20 years in my case. Threadless.com is becoming an addiction for me, I’ve got it bad man, have you got a few votes you can spare me buddy? read more

I have finally had my Eggheads T-Shirt submission accepted at DesignByHumans.com – if you’d like to show some support come and vote for it here.

I had a very friendly exchange of emails with Taylor at DBH who reassured me that my style suited their site’s creative ethos to a tee, essentially the mistake I had made was nothing to do with the quality of my work but rather the placement of the images on their t-shirt template. My advice is the less coverage a design has over the spread of a shirt, the higher you should mount it. I notched my design up a few inches towards the armpits and resubmitted the design with a resounding success. I’ve even completed a second design – see the image below! read more

You see this is the fun bit, for both you and me (honest!), I’m a t-shirt designer and I run a t-shirt news and reviews blog, and so unlike mortal t-shirt reviewers, I can create and submit works and let you in on the process, success or failure, it’s all still useful information I’m sur

We’ll call Eggheads a tester, I’d just written about my fave tees at DesignByHumans.com last night; my eyes were bleary, my fingers trembling with the possible onset of RSI (fingers crossed ouch), a strong coffee by my MacBook and a strange vision in my head, banging at the insides of my eyes, pleading for the possibility of escape. It was an act of kindness (for my own sanity), yet looking at the design in the clear light of day, and with a clearer head, I have to admit, this is one twisted t-shirt design. read more
