splatterbeasts
OK. What’s not to love about the splatterbeasts. I never like purple tees. Until now. Man - I’m in such a fanboy mood this morning!!!
just smashing
Smashing Darling do a LOT more than just tees. Not that I care. Tee + pants = fully clothed in my book. The site collects a bunch of designers work into one place - with some really interesting, mainly low key, work on show. Some of the standout stuff linked up below. Watch the pricing, as some of the stuff is pretty labour intensively custom the pricing varies widely - like $12 to $80 for a shirt.
Tree lined teee by Whosiepie is simple, unusual, and perfect for the subtly mid green look. Cloak and dagger by student smashup is unusual - The design is printed on the lower-right, back corner of the shirt so it looks like the knife-fighter is jumping into your pocket. Che reverse by Che Woo is a nice eye hurter - clashing colours, gotta love ‘em.
Also - make sure you HUNT for stuff. The categories hide some of the best stuff away - they don’t just have boys and girls, they do ages and stuff too.
pirate tee
I don’t pirate music. Honest! But I know some of you rebellious young guns probably do. You might as well make it easy for the man when he comes to shoot you in the head for being evil. Wear this shirt so he gets you, not your little sister. (via boingboing)
tenbills cheapies!
Morning folks. I just got a nice message from TenBills - “Your readers can get 20% off their purchase with code: SAVETWENTY (expires 2/15/2008).” Just head on over to turn ten bills into eight bills - as it were.
Skip the main site and hop straight into the quick order catalog. Every teeco should have one of these - so quick and easy to spend too much money! Pic below is of Gemini - a two pack. Same tee, different colours. Nice.
Fake T-Shirts in Photoshop
Josh from one of my favourite teecos, Insanely Great, has been featured in Photojojo with a tutorial on faking Tsihrts in photoshop. If you have an urge to transform the lettering on someones tee in those holiday snaps - this is the place to start!
Photoshop tutorial > & competition before and afters here.
Medusa Monkey
Hurrah. A monkey with snakes for hair. Animal lovers get to show the love for two species at once. From Design by Humans.
This reminds me of an idea I had a while back. Basically, to spend a whole week wearing different tshirts with the same animal on it, monkeys one week, snakes the next, hippos the following week. My wardrobe (okay, drawer) allows me to spend an ‘anti mac’ week, a ‘hippy cyclist’ week and a few others, but not a week of the monkey. I need more monkey shirts.
repunation - comedy national insults.
Slogan tees can be a bore - unless they do something a little differently. Repunation does things a little differently. A bunch of slickly typeset, hard hitting or just plain funny national insults / stereotypes.
The photography is great. Interesting scenes, well shot, in the real tee. No odd photoshopping here. You DO run the risk of being barred entry to clubs, and being smacked in the mouth if you run into touchy foreigners wearing these though. These would make great gifts for people living abroad. Ambiguous shirts galore!
Obama bandwagon jumpin’
Stolen Goodies have a particularly sinister floaty Obama shirt at the moment, which reminded me I’d been meaning to link them up for a while. Lesson of this shirt - never clutter a good image up with stupid lettering!
They should sell this shirt on the Barack Obama . com site. Much better than this official obama 08 shirt.
shirts of 2007
I don’t post links to other blogs often enough. Call this a new years resolution! Addicteed.com is a great blog, and just posted their tshirts of 2007 post - a massive flickr gallery of every tee they covered in 2007. An idea I am bound to shamelessly rip off at some point in the future. Great stuff to spend 5 minutes rummaging in.
Hate filled heart
Spitefuls is a funny collection of shirts built around the general belief that the wearer is generally … well… spiteful towards the world. Some are funnier than others, but generally the standard is good. I’m never sure about the whole ‘wear your mood’ thing. I loved the old Meh shirt from thinkgeek, but if your opinion and vehemence sharpen up during the day it starts to feel a bit… well.. Meh.
Bitterium is funny, bitter pills are amusing, but my favourite is probably the Cebu Thriller Dance Team tee. Think you can dance? Can you dance in orange? All the tees on one page here.
Click.
Simple. White. Clean. The flash site can take a week to load on a dodgy shared connection, but stick with it, you want one of these. From Grafik Noise. This is geek without the geek.
One small nit-picky criticism. The url on the front of the tee seems to big to me. Gameskins used to get the size JUST ABOUT right - with a nice tiny light font. You couldn’t read from a distance, but if anyone wanted to get your shirt, they just asked, because they could see it said something there.
Doradimon
Some shirts just don’t need any explanation. Trust me. A new classic from WrongWroks. Their blog is well worth adding to your reader for random stylish entertainment and the earliest heads up on their newest tees. The good stuff sells out QUICK.
Startup schwag
I just received the latest startup schwag package on return from my new years break. Sign up for yours here.
It’s an interesting collection of stickers and another cool tee. Now lets be honest, I’d never go into a store and shout ‘yay -that’s exactly the tee I’m after’. But hey - it has a certain geek value. It’s not as in your face as the techcrunch or reddit shirts, so is a bit more wearable.
It also seems to work for the company on the front of the tee - as I felt compelled to open an imeem account just in case someone asked me about the tee.
The team at startup schwag also take things pretty seriously - allowing you to spec a different size when the tee will be printed on AA for example. Essential for some. The occassional spoilers on the blog could be better flagged though - half the fun is in not knowing what’s going to arrive on the doorstep.
I know of a few other monthly tee schemes, but they tend to exist outwith the usual tee sites - and be totally nichey. If you know of any drop me a line. I have a feeling that 2008 will be the year of the obscure tshirt.
