Human Head & Brain, Computer, Pine tree, and a Light Bulb

store-symbols-navy-firefly  environment tee shirts apparelJeff Lobdell of Firefly explained to me the philosopy of four symbols — human head & brain, computer, pine tree, and a light bulb — that represent something. The head means humanity, while the computer represents technology (or anything man-made). On the other hand, the tree represents the environment and the light bulb represents thoughts, ideas, creativity or anything intangible.

“The importance of these four is to make it a point that we need to focus on these areas and keep improving,” he said.

Map Marker Death T-shirt

Read on my previous postings:

In future, everyone is identified with radio transmitter (or maybe something like RFID) that is implanted in their body, makes it possible to trace everyone and everywhere. If someone is found dead, a red bubble will be shown up in Google Maps marking the place where the body found.

Unity For Charity. That’s How Goodjoe(s) Supporting Good Cause with T-shirt

In order to help the Tsunami Victims in Japan, Goodjoe and their community of artists have collaborated to bring the Flying in Unity t-shirt to raise funds. It is their way to show that they do care about Japan. This collaboration design for charity is for sale at Goodjoe for $12.00. 100% of the proceeds will be donated directly to GlobalGiving.org’s Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund.

A bunch of great artists participated to make this tee. They are TheInfinityLoop, M.E. Volmar, Chumpmagic, MJ, Philip Lam, Judith Vrba, Kharmazero, Kevlar, Fishbiscuit, Boots, Ndikol, and ThirstyFly. Each of the participating artists created a crane or a bird as a positive thought to send toward the people affected by this disaster. The inspiration comes from Paper Cranes for Japan.

This is a very nice tee made from the deepest of the artists’ heart. It aims to inform everyone that we can help in any way, as best we can. This also shows that we must come together to be able to help others, shown through the different designs of birds, but they remain in one sanctuary.

You can purchase the tee in preorder for $12.00 by March 28 2011, and your tee will be shipped by April 8 2011. For more information, check here.  The goal is to raise $1000, so you can help out and get a great shirt at the same time.

Find Many Extraordinary Pets You Can Bring on Your Tee at Tilteed

Playing with pets is one of the best fatigue releases. If you are single and you have, let’s say, a dog, or cat, or even fish at home, they are the first creature that saying hello when you get home. And suddenly you feel reenergized. But sometimes, pets are also annoying. They tear your curtains, chairs, and even take your fried chicken!

That’s what would happen if you keep The Very Greedy Caterpillar ($ 18.00). It eats everything! Don’t be surprised if when you get home, you lost a lot of stuff. He didn’t just eat your dinner, but also your pet bird, car keys, socks, and even your wallet. You must choose, either you put all the items in the safe deposit box or that greedy caterpillar that you put in the safe deposit box so it couldn’t have come out.

If you’re bored with the caterpillar it, you can replace it with a turtle. But did you know that a Study of Turtles ($ 18.00) has done with the results of at least 16 types of turtles found? Wow, it’s shocking. However, it seems all these turtles behave very polite. Well at least they’re not going to eat your dinner.

Tilteed provides all pets that you want: any single pet in the form of t-shirt design. What I like from Tilteed is they have a simple design and easy to interpret, so that anyone will like it, including you. Tilteed T-shirts available in men and women’s sizes, and always presented in a soft color. Tilteed has an interesting program as well. Each day will be chosen one shirt that is discounted from $ 18.00 to $ 12.00. The tee offered changes every day. So don’t you miss this exciting offer!

Japanese Relief Tees to Help Japan Tsunami Victims

The tsunami that hit Japan on March 11 really made all of us shocked. So far, we do recognize Japan as a country with frequent earthquakes. But the tsunami, was really unexpected. There are more than 21,000 dead and missing victims. And the worse thing is the Fukushima Nuclear accident is very worrying. Even though that accident wouldn’t like Chernobyl, but we must remain cautious.

We can find charity for Japan everywhere, of course it’s held to help the Japan tsunami and earthquake victims, not to mention Palmer Cash T-shirts that provide t-shirts specifically for the charity. All profits earned will be donated to victims of natural disasters in Japan.

Recycleatee Wants to Save The Environment. One Tee Shirt at the Time.

Nearly 12 million tons of textile waste is generated each year in the U.S. – that’s almost 80 pounds tossed in the landfill per person.

As we all aware, global warming is an issue that attracts everyone’s attention these days. The erratic weather, climate change, and so forth make us more concerned about the environment, including Recycleatee.

Recycleatee is an online clothing store who produces the tee with a minimal ecological footprint. They source only certified-organic cotton, low-impact dyes, and are committed to environmentally responsible printing. In addition to recycling 90% of the waste generated from their manufacturing processes, they’re pioneering an apparel recycling program that takes responsibility for the full life cycle of their products – and rewards their customers in the process.

Not only produce eco-friendly t-shirts, Recycleatee also has an awesome offer. Purchase a Recycle a Tee and wear it for as long as you like. When you’re ready, recycle it and receive a 25% store credit. There are two ways to recycle – choose the one that works best for you. Here’s how it works:

Recycle Locally:
Donate your Recycle a Tee items to any local charity such as Goodwill or Salvation Army. Log in to your account to let us know that you’ve chosen to recycle locally. A 25% store credit will be applied to your account.

or

Let Us Recycle for You:
Send it back to us. We pay for the shipping. If the item is wearable, we’ll donate it to a charity near us. If not, we’ll send it to a textile recycling plant, as we do with all of our factory’s textile scraps.

So it can be concluded that all Recycleatee’s shirts are recyclable. Not only that, the design of their tees are all things related to nature. They really love nature!

Organic Cotton Womens Crew Neck recycleatee mens tee shirts

Look at this Fly Away Women Tee ($21.00). Global warming has change a lot the behavior of birds. Today, we’ve rarely found the bird that flew in droves to the same direction. This is due to erratic weather. If we love the environment, then we will try to make our environment and our air clean, so we will see again a crowd of birds that fly together.

Besides caring for the environment, we also have to maintain the existence of large trees where birds perch. It can be seen at City Root Men Tee ($ 22.00) which reflects that the real greatness of our city was once derived from mature trees that were felled, so that the birds now lost their place to perch.

So should we care about the environment? Can’t agree more, but smart offer like what Recycleatee offer is really helping!

New Year Sale at DesignByHumans

To celebrate the new year, DesignByHumans is having a $12 t-shirt sale until January 9, 2011! What better way is there to ring in the new year than with some snazzy new t-shirts for your wardrobe? DesignByHumans seems to have been having many sales events lately, but keep ‘em coming, I say! The recent shop additions are great, so thanks for being such a great art director, Wotto!

DesignByHumans, DBH
There are many wonderful new selections to choose from since the last DBH sale, including a design that I was rooting for in the DBH 10K, qetza’s Sleepy Tipi. Another one of my longtime favorites, Unleashed Imagination by buko, was also printed since the last sale. Both of these designs are beautiful works of art, and I am very happy to see them leave the mock-up stage and land on some actual tees! And now there’s a sale to boot. I love it!

DesignByHumans, Bear, Dragon
If you’ve been waiting to add some more oversized prints to your current collection, you’re in luck because DesignByHumans has plenty of those to choose from. The shirts originally range between $19 to $24, so it’s a very nice discount on some many of the designs. Say hello to the Year of the Rabbit in style!

The Very Greedy Caterpillar Eats Everything in its Path

Over the weekend, Tilteed released this month’s contest winning t-shirt design. The Very Greedy Caterpillar by Wotto (Craig Watkins) is the latest addition to the permanent shop catalog at Tilteed. The design is a fresh twist on a popular children’s book The Very Hungry Caterpillar. This greedy caterpillar not only eats fruit but also things that we don’t consider to be edible, including a Magic 8-Ball, a wallet, a cactus, and even a ghost!

Tilteed, Wotto, Craig Watkins, caterpillar

In his new interview, Wotto describes his process for The Very Greedy Caterpillar:

“This piece has been knocking around my sketchbook since early 2010. I wanted to do something with that character because the book was read to me many times as a kid. I also wanted to show, in a subtle way the perils of greed. It started the same as most of my work, a doodle in my sketchbook. Over time I added in more details and then finally I worked the design up in illustrator. I cut some of the original elements and added in new ones. I also took out the bright colors of the book because I wanted my piece to be a sharp contrast. Not a parody that just tweaks a small area but a parody that takes the guts of the artwork and runs away with it. As with all my pieces I wanted it to have a dark element and also have enough detail so that each time you wear it you find something new.”

Head over to Tilteed to get your copy of The Very Greedy Caterpillar ($12 pre-order/$18) and to check out the rest of the interview with Wotto!

Great Simple Designs aren’t Just Make Believe

If you’re a fan of typography or simple designs on t-shirts, then Make Believe‘s newest line should make you a very happy camper. Now I am not one who particularly cares for shirts with logos and brand names plastered on them, but in the case of Make Believe, I don’t see a big brand advertisement when I look at a design of theirs. Seeing the words “make believe” on the designs actually helps add more of a meaning to them.

Make Believe

Just as a little background on the brand, Make Believe is a company that offers classically influenced clothing, pulling inspiration from the 1950s. Their first line was overall much more patriotic and had an Americana aesthetic, but the simplicity element was definitely also present. What is appealing about Make Believe is how they have so many amazing simple designs that keep you yearning to see more and more from the brand. Most of their products are and have been one color prints, so it goes to show how a high color count isn’t what makes a design good.

Make Believe

Take a look around their new storefront, check out the winter line, and get familiar with this relatively new clothing brand. All t-shirts have been marked down to $20 until the end of the year.

ShirtFight’s Final Sale

From now until December 15, ShirtFight is having its last sale ever– a crazy $5 sale!

ShirtFight

If you haven’t heard of this brand, it may be because ShirtFight had its last design contest back in September of 2009. Before then, it held weekly (and then eventually bi-monthly) themed contests, similar to Shirt.Woot derbies. Since the shop stopped holding its contests, ShirtFight hasn’t been putting out any new designs since last year. That doesn’t mean that the shirts that are in the shop catalog are any less appealing, though. In fact, many of the designs look just as great, if not even better than I remember. What’s even sweeter for you t-shirt consumers is that they’re now going for five bucks a pop!

ShirtFight, Alexmdc, Againstbound, Yonil

Many sizes have sold out for most designs, but if you’re lucky, you can still get some of your favorites. It’s times like these that I wish ShirtFight had a filter for sizes, but since the shirts are going for such a low price, I don’t mind putting in a little extra work to see what’s available. For $5 a tee, you can pick up designs by amazing artists including but not limited to Yonil, againstbound, and alexmdc.

Go get some $5 tees at ShirtFight before they all disappear!

These Foxes Don’t Bark, They Say Hi!

Foxes! Where? Over there at Tilteed!

“Hi there!” the older furry fox says, waving its hand rather frantically. The little one is shy, so it just smiles, but they’re both very friendly.

foxes, Greg Abbott, Tilteed

Look at those cute little faces. Have you seen a cuter pair? It’s tough for me to say that I have. Greg Abbott is a pro when it comes to creating characters with just the right amount of cuteness. For example, these foxes are cute but are they so adorable that you actually feel gross from taking it all in? Not at all! That’s precisely what I’m talking about. These foxes are sweet, but they’re cool too! This new design is a great follow-up to Greg’s last Tilteed piece, Spyglass ($18). And if you don’t know/remember what that design looks like, here’s a picture:

Tilteed, bunny, rabbit

Foxes by Greg Abbott is currently on pre-order at Tilteed for $12. Because it is stamped with “Tilteed Curated,” it will be entering the permanent catalog for $18 once the pre-order period is up. So don’t feel sad if you no longer see the design in the countdown section. Just head to the shop section of the site and the foxes will be right there, ready to say hi to you!

$12 Tees in the Design By Humans Holiday Sale

Do you need more t-shirts in your wardrobe? Have you been itching for a big sale in the t-shirt world? If the answer is yes to either question, then you’re in luck because Design By Humans is having its Holiday Sale right now! All t-shirts have been marked down to $12 until December 5, 2010. Yes, that even includes the newest daily additions to the shop and all of the DBH 10k winners!

robot, design by humans, Scarlett Veith

One of the newer designs that I especially like is a piece by Scarlett Veith called Attack of the Robot! Everything in this design just works. The turquoise background is a perfect contrast for the robot and its red details. Not only are there airplanes trying to take this big piece of metal down, but there’s also a blimp shooting lasers at it. I never thought of blimps as vehicles of destruction, but if it works, then I’m all for it!

Something else that I find to be quite interesting is that I don’t see any signs of destruction in the city. Perhaps this is a friendly robot who just so happens to be twice the height of skyscrapers, a robot who is clearly being misunderstood by the humans who are trying to bring it down. What do you think is going on?

The Design By Humans $12 Holiday Sale ends on December 5th, so pick up Attack of the Robot! and other fantastic designs today! As always, you get free shipping on all orders over $70.

Centaur? Not Quite!

Threads or Tales is a brand that launched on October 10th of this year. Although it hasn’t been around for very long (not even a month yet), the company has done a brilliant job with its launch products! Their first line consists of eight different products, all of which are colorful and exciting to look at. What makes Threads or Tales products that much cooler is the fact that there are stories behind each design.

centaur, Threads or Tales, Luke Drozd

There are many designs in the collection that I personally love, but one of my favorites at this very moment in time is Centard ($17.99) by Luke Drozd. I especially love that it’s available on an eggplant shirt. The colors of the illustration pop out very well against this background and the shirt is far from boring. According to the product page, the design is about a boy named Jimmy who wanted to be a centaur but wasn’t quite so lucky.

As previously mentioned, all of the designs come with a story printed on the inside of the shirt. I believe that each of the artists came up with their own stories, but I could be wrong. Either way, I love the creativity behind each design, and the stories add an extra element to each shirt. I think that by putting more meaning behind the images through the use of stories, Threads or Tales is getting us to identify with the characters, therefore allowing a deeper connection between us and its products. It’s genius!

If you’d like to pick up Centard and other great shirts with unique stories, head over to Threads or Tales today! You can take 10% off your order by using the coupon code “MYSTORY.”

Sneaky Wall Art Steals Sandwich

It’s that time again! A new contest winner has been announced at Tilteed. Who won? Drumroll please…zebra, White Stripes, Tilteed, Chris Dixon, cmdixon2Chris Dixon (cmdixon2) takes it home this month with White Stripes! This is the first win for Chris at Tilteed. He was previously seen on the site with his Tilteed Limited design called Pinkerton. Another random tidbit is that this is also the first red shirt to make its way into the permanent Tilteed catalog. They’re livening things up there!

This design was originally in the Shirt.Woot derby with the theme “Band Names Reinterpreted.” So along with being a funny design showing a 2D zebra coming to life and eating an artist’s delicious lunch, this illustration also gives off a subtle reference of the band The White Stripes. This is a great design because you don’t have to know or like the band to wear it. The artwork speaks for itself.

White Stripes is now on sale at Tilteed for only $12 during its pre-order period. If you miss these 72 hours, don’t fret because you will still be able to purchase White Stripes in the catalog at the normal price of $18. The pre-order period will last until Noon PDT on Friday, October 29.

New Line for Metal Lovers from SkyGraphx

What music do you listen? Rock? Metal? Or rap music? We know that fans of rock music, metal or rap has their own “place” than fans of other genres of music. One of the differences is in the clothes they wore that support the appearance of their daily lives. Rock / metal music enthusiasts are usually have an eccentric-looking : all black. They wear a skull, tribal, gun, gothic, or even sick designs. We can easily find that type of tee, but the motive as it usually looks similar.

But this won’t happen with SkyGraphx tee who try to create something different. Look at this Shamrock T ($18.00), which has a unique skull design. It combines eight skulls into a bright green color for-leaf shamrock. Of course we remember a myth that if we can get a four-leaf clover, we will be lucky. And rock / metal lovers can be lucky by wearing this shirt. The combination of shamrock and skull make this tee has a cool appearance. This tee is printed on 100% black cotton shirt.

And hey! Not only men who can wear a “fierce” shirt. Women can also wear it because SkyGraphx provides it! Girl’s Liberty Tank ($10.00 – ON SALE!) is the proof. This sexy pink camouflage tank specially printed for the female fans of rock / metal music. This tee designed the Statue of Liberty and the gun surrounds it. The tee is addressed to U.S. authorities who often use violence, whereas we all know that the Statue of Liberty has the meaning of independence and freedom from pressure. So it is also desired by the female fans of rock music. This tee is printed on 100% cotton shirts as well.

If you want to be a unique rocker, go grab the tee. Order today to get the free shipping!
