With a healthy does of alliteration I present you with two shirts featuring trees.
Flying Mouse, one of the top designers at Threadless, has started a challenge for himself called FM365. He is trying to design a new shirt each day for an entire year, for a grand total of 365 shirts! He started on the 5th of February and has just released his 29th design.
I have a tremendous love for anything 8-bit. I listen to 8-bit music, play 8-bit games, and appreciate what can be done with 8-bit art. Now this shirt comes along featuring my favorite website.
Go vote for “Harold vs. the Simian Seven” at Threadless. I love shirts that tell a story, and this design is an excellent example. The monkeys are illustrated nicely, each one is an individual. You can feel the rage washing over Harold, as countless moments of ridicule bubble to the surface.
Brand of the Free is a shop that makes t-shirts with organic materials. Their shirts are made entirely in the United States, and free shipping is provided in 100% recycled envelopes. Even the materials used in the production of the shirts are grown within the United States. All of this combines to make a very “green” company, a trend I’ve been seeing a lot lately in many industries.
In this new shirt from SplitReason, Super Mario Brothers and the Ghostbusters meet in glorious t-shirt form. “Boo Busters” takes the iconic Boo and combines it with one of the main lines of the Ghostbusters’ theme song. The result is a shirt that defines a generation. That might be going too far, but it sure does look cool.
Hokusai would be happy with “New Wave,” a re-imaging of his extremely famous woodblock print “The Great Wave Off Kanagawa.”
I’ve just discovered a new t-shirt shop called Walkie Talkie. They just released a new shirt which is very indicative of their overall style. That shirt is “this is not a drill.” All of their shirts contain a simple image with a short funny phrase. I like these kinds of shirts because they make most people laugh, as long as they understand the joke. If they don’t get the joke it’s even funnier for those that do.
“Mandrillus Sphinx” is a new design on Threadless by Rafael Bastos. It features a furious Mandrill. The design was done over the course of three days, and completely by hand. If I hadn’t known that I would think it was created by a perfect maze creation algorithm and then colored in. Even though I wish it was slightly smaller, it’s a unique take on shirt design that I have not seen before.
All of the winners of Woot Shirt’s 81st Derby have now been announced. Woot decided to go a different direction for Valentine’s Day and focus on shirts about heartbreak. This crop of winner’s were especially good, so I thought I’d mention them. Unfortunately, since those shirts have already been posted, they are only available at Shirts on Sale. Check them out below.
