Uneetee Prints the Predator


November 26th, 2008

Uneetee has a pretty interesting new shirt out.  It’s called “The Predator” and it features an all over print of a fierce looking tiger.  Check it out:

Uneetee Predator T-Shirt

This is a really great looking design and the placement and positioning of the print really set the design off. It’s amazing how different the two versions of the shirt look.  In my opinion the colored version is the hot one. Either way, you can’t go wrong.

A Little Help for Linty Fresh


November 21st, 2008

One of the blogs/clothing lines that we follow regularly is called Linty Fresh out of Marietta Georgia.  They are an operation that is founded and run by one single guy named Eric Terry.  He does one heck of a job doing it too.

One of the things he is doing to get a bigger following fo his products are videos that show his personality.  His latest video had a few tips for a fan that e-mailed him asking him questions about starting a t-shirt line.  His designs are awesome and his skills are very advanced and you can easily witness this in the tutorial he gave on separating colors for a printer. Since we are a fan of his, we would like to reach out to give him a little tip on separating his colors inside Illustrator (the native program he creates his designs in).

Linty Fresh

In the video he took his vector artwork from Illustrator and opened it up in Photoshop.  We recently completed a tutorial for VectorTuts that explains the quick process of separating your colors within Illustrator.  This way, he doesn’t have to deal with a raster version of his artwork, nor the pain of taking the design from one program to another.

It is worth giving a try and we hope it helps with Linty Fresh’s well-deserved success.  Click on the picture below to see the tutorial.

T-Shirt Blog Linkup


November 15th, 2008

It’s time for our weekly top blog feature!  This week brought some very fascinating blogs filled with cool and unusual designs.  Check them out!

Bard Monkey from Pop Culture Tees
This shirt certainly gets an A for originality and execution.  That little guy looks freakishly manic, and really what is more troubling than a monkey waving around a typewriter?  I love the banana in the ink well detail.

Brand Profile: Defi the Norm from Clothing Wire
We love Clothing Wire’s regular installments of brand profiles and they certainly brought us an interesting one this time.

Partridge in a Pear Tree from T-Shirt Casserole
I love how sharp and crisp this design is.  It defintely gives the impression of looking through some sort of oval shaped window or opening.

Wonderful Frosty The Snowman from T-Shirt Guru
Ok, don’t throw stuff at us for picking a blog featuring a Christmas themed shirt this early in the season.

5 New Funny Shirts from T-Shirt Rater
With this blog T-Shirt Rater brings us some very amusing new additions available over at Popular Threadz.

Festive t shirt from BuyThisTshirt.org
Since we’re already risked your wrath by bringing out the holiday shirts here’s another one we found striking.

10 worst vintage band tees from Defunkd
Don’t worry the shirts themselves aren’t so bad, it’s the bands that have found themselves the target of the defunkd writers.

Uneetee Presents Melting Freeze Pops from Compete-tee-tion
Here’s a fascinating shirt that pays homage to one of the iconic refreshments of summer.  They look so realistic and tasty I could take a bite.

The “Tee” is 3 letter(s) word from Cottonable
Here’s a great find brought to you by Cottonable.  3LetterWord is a company which specializes in creating very simple shirts with nothing but a three letter word of your choosing on them.  It might seem a little gimmicky, but it’s certainly an interesting niche to seek.

Google from Funky Duds
I really live this amusing shirt which might sum up Google’s approach to success: Search and Destroy.  In this case though I think I would prefer it in more options than just the white shirt with black lettering.

Chunky Chunk Apparel from HideYourArms
It seems like the t-shirt world is saturated with companies that market to and supply the adult t-shirt wearer so it’s always refreshing to see a company with cool shirts designed for the original t-shirt wearers: Kids!

The Ryde: Tree Hugger from Shirts On Sale
I think Eden from SOS said it best: “Considering the text says, “hug a tree hugger,” we would have really appreciated it if there were two people in this picture, one hugging the tree and the other hugging the hugger.  Still, it is a great sentiment”

Word Up to Word Apparel from Buy-Tees.net
Another awesome, in-depth review of a fascinating and high-quality brand brought to you from Buy-Tees.net!

The Beautiful Art of Aya Kato at B/D from T-Shirts Around the Internet
I really love the style of shirts which are a staple of Beautiful Decay and the ones featured in this blog are by no means an exception.

The King from The Daily Tee
Awesome find Daily Tee!  It’s difficult to put a new spin on skull and death shirts but this one actually manages it. Great design.

Speak Softly and Carry a Big Horn


November 12th, 2008

The man on this shirt certainly seems to live by that philosophy.  I’m always intrigued by the visual representation of sound and this shirt definitely does a good job conceptualizing how sound waves might travel.

Speak Softly T-Shirt

I also like the idea of having the man and the horn in black and white but the sound as vibrant shades of orange and yellow.

My only criticism is that I’m not overly fond of the clouds.  The ones above and even parallel to the horn seem to ‘work’ for me, but the ones at the man’s waistlevel and below are distracting.  It makes me think that the man must himself be standing in some kind of cloudy otherworld, which perhaps he is, but for me it takes away from the imagery with the horn.

Still, it’s a great concept and a sharp design from Imaginary Foundation.

Seriously Advanced T-Shirt Print


November 6th, 2008

This new shirt over at Design By Humans has been receiving a lot of attention, and for good reason; it’s excellent!

CutMe T-Shirt

I confess that upon first glance I didn’t “get it”.  At least not in the way the designer intended.  I casually assumed that the hands were trying to cut the colored rainbow stripe.  However, once I looked closely I saw that the rainbow stripe actually comes out of the wounded hand.

If I had to guess the meaning, I guess it’s that you can’t judge a book by its cover? A palm reader would have a hell of a time with this hand….
