Before I even mention anything about this design, I want to say that I really like the concept behind A Year of Tees. I don’t think I really need to explain it–it’s just a t-shirt a day for an entire year (365 designs). Very cool, and very taxing to continue pumping out quality designs. Yet, the people behind A Year of Tees seem to be up to the challenge–I’m a big fan of most of their designs.
So, let’s move to the featured design from April 4th: 2 Fried Eggs. The design is very simple. It is very much what the title says it is. Yet, I think it comes out quite cool looking. The yellow on white on black is attractive, and I think it gains power from its simplicity. Oh, and, for the immature of us, it kind of looks like boobs (lol!).
Even though it’s nothing complex, I really like this design (and not ’cause of the boobs thing). You can pick up 2 Fried Eggs for $26.00 from A Year of Tees. Check out their other designs as well, because some of them are really cool.
T-Shirt is a bit of a rip off of an old Pavement Tour t-shirt

The Pavement version is only $10.

Good catch! I’ve never seen that shirt before. I like this colorway more, but definitely a little too similar.

Hi there,
thanks so much for the mention. Glad you like the tees. Just wanted to clear up the pavement thing. I honestly have never seen the pavement tee before. The inspiration for it came from a visit to the tate modern where I saw a piece by Sarah Lucas called two fried eggs and a kebab. You can see it here. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/sarah-lucas-britarts-original-bad-girl-speaks-out-954458.html?action=Gallery&ino=10
anyways thanks again, just wanted to clear that up
