The new Pixar movie Up is coming out tomorrow. It just so happens that it’s my birthday, and in general I’m a big fan of their movies. It is about Carl Fredricksen making his house fly by attaching balloons to it. He then has several adventures with a small child that has accidentally hitched a ride. The boy’s name is Russel and he is featured in several of the designs that are available at the Disney InkShop.
It’s amazing how much emotion an apple with a tear and a frown can evoke from someone. These two little apples have definitely lost someone very dear to them. It’s a shame they can’t see that the dead apple will have a happy time in the afterlife. I wonder if apples have religion.
“Tweet” is a new shirt from Glennz that pokes fun at the latest social networking craze: Twitter. If you’ve been living under a rock for awhile you might not know what Twitter is. In essence it’s a social network focused on short messages sent to anyone that is listening to you. These messages must be 140 characters or less, and are called Tweets.
For some reason I find the notion of an ice cream cone becoming sentient and realizing its purpose in this world hilarious. I think most people can relate to this feeling, especially given the crazy amount of anthropomorphic shirt designs that you can find. With this shirt from SirMitchell at Etsy, you can see what could happen if this very scenario became a reality.
CafePress is now running an ongoing contest via Twitter. It’s called Tweetees, and is the latest in a new trend of businesses having a much larger presence on social networks.
“Good V Evil” is the latest user chosen t-shirt design from Glennz. It’s not football season, and Star Wars hasn’t been too popular recently, but it’s a quality shirt none the less. It features the Rebel Alliance as the good team, and the Imperial Stormtroopers as the evil team.
“CropPixels” is a Space Invaders shirt from springleap user TokyoGoGo. It features one of the many aliens from the game as a pattern in a farmer’s field, like a crop circle would be done except pixelated. You can see the aliens that left the design flying away along the horizon.
