Danger Gnome Shirt from ReThink Clothing

Published September 1, 2010 in Printed on American Apparel Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (1)

The gnome on this shirt looks super goofy, he’s got a killer beard going on, and I love the color (mint) of the blank. He’s also apparently into some shady shit based on the bullet blowin’ a whole in his hat.  These are all quality characteristics of a shirt, and make me like this shirt.

You can pick this one up for the freshly lowered price of $14.99 at ReThink Clothing. It’s printed on American Apparel blanks (the best makers of the mint color).

Mr T-Shirt from Atslopes

Published August 22, 2010 in Humorous T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (3)

This shirt is not only a very funny play on words, but it’s also visually awesome because Mr. T is kind of a bonified badass.

I love how subtle his face is–most Mr. T shirts just put his face on a yellow shirt. This one is better. The shading effect (if thats the right term) that Atslopes have used just looks great, and Mr. T is sporting a great facial expression.

So yeah, I like it. You can pick it up on sale for $20 at Atslopes. It’s printed on American Apparel.

Fashionista Giraffe Shirt from Unleash Studio

Published August 21, 2010 in Printed on American Apparel Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts T-Shirts That Donate. Comments (2)

I just got an email from Melissa of Unleash Studio about their new animal series of shirts. The shirts all feature animals with a somewhat “human” twist–fashionista boots in the case of my favorite design here.

The designs are all unique and creative and have some pretty sweet c0l0r choices (this shirt for example). A portion of the profits will also be donated to help animals lead better lives, which is always cool.

You can pick these bad boys up for $24.00 at Unleash Studio. They’re printed on American Apparel.

Origami Pigeon from Random Objects

Published August 9, 2010 in Printed on American Apparel Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (2)

I’m a big fan of pigeons, especially those ballsy ones that aren’t afraid to stare you down in the middle of the street. Pigeons take on that aggressive air so common with city dwellers, and that is awesome.

Consequently, I dig this shirt from Random Objects. The pigeon staring out from his origami counterpart is quite piercing…in a pigeony kind of way.

You can pick this up for $20.00 at Random Objects. It’s printed on American Apparel 2001 tees, a quality choice.

The Walrus from Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction

I can’t think of anything to write about this shirt. I mean, it’s a huge walrus on a shirt–what do you say? I will offer that I like the grey version the most (by far). Other than that I’m pretty much typing to add word count to this post, because I feel weird “writing” a post with less than fifty words. I just passed fifty? Sweet, thanks for letting me know. I’m done.

Check it out at Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. It’ll cost you $28.00

P.S. I really do dig this shirt despite not having anything (n.e.thing) to say about it.

P.P.S. This shirt is a tribute to the music blog entitled “The Walrus”, which I previously haven’t read, but I’m going to start now.

P.P.P.S. This post has 127 words (not counting this last P.P.P.S.)

Introducing the Anti Monkey Brand

Published July 15, 2010 in Excellent Design T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (2)

After beginning to read through the 700 emails I’ve allowed to amass in my inbox (yeah, that’s why I suck at responding), I came across this awesome new brand called Anti Monkey. They’ve just released their first collection, aptly entitled “What the Fuck.” The collection consists of 12 different designs of the middle finger (and surrounding hand) in all its glory; each design wanting to tell its own story. I’ll let them give you a little picture of the meaning behind it:

…our brainchild ANTI MONKEY, our riot against boredom and mediocrity, manifested in shameless T-shirt prints. Our first statement is the collection What The Fuck, which is about celebrating life, encouraging self-staging, gender swapping. Each print stands for one middle-finger-story, e.g. of a sparkling Ladyboy, jiggle-wiggle Mr. Pudding, rough & tough Rocky, schick and proud Madam.

I dig the designs, as well as the accompanying message behind them. You can pick up all the designs at the Anti Monkey website. They’ll run you 25 euros each (which is finally close to $25! Thanks exchange rate).

Chewbika Shirt from Kindred Market

Published July 12, 2010 in Humorous T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (2)

Don’t ask (or expect) me to explain what this shirt is about or why I really, really like it. I have referenced my enjoyment of shirts with bikes on them in the past, but that’s usually limited to old-fashioned bikes. I guess if you throw Chewbacca on a bike, it will allow modern day bikes to slide into my categorical like system.

You can pick it up for $24.00 at Kindred Market, who launch a new brand on their site every week, which is pretty cool, not to mention prolific.

P.S. I also love the name of the shirt.

P.S.S. Sorry for not posting to much, I’ve been addicted to the World Cup and Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 on ma Xbox (among other things).

Beer Shirt from Local Celebrity

Published June 4, 2010 in Humorous T-Shirts Quirky T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)

Local Celebrity just released this brand new, gem of a shirt. Prior to this, it had never occured to me that the crossing of a bear and deer would create such an awesome creature as a beer. Now I know.

When I got the email, I was at first a little perplexed. “Why does it say Beer below a picture of a bear?”, I asked myself. Then I saw the antlers on the bear, and then I laughed uproariously (in my mind).

Essentially, I love this shirt, and I hope you do too. You can pick it up for $22.00 (if you’re on the A-List). We’ve also got Local Celebrity coupons from time to time.

Stay in School from RandR

This one from RandR is pretty flippin awesome. Without the title of the shirt, it will probably only look like a 3-d owl with a gun (sans 3-d glasses), but I’m totally cool with that.

I’m also transferring to Temple University, whose mascot is the owl, which gives me an extra connection to this shirt. Our mascot doesn’t carry a gun though (unfortunately).

You can pick it up for $14.00 at RandR. Sadly, sizes are somewhat limited (they don’t have my size ).
