Busted Tees Friday

June 27th, 2009 by Matt

Busted Tees, who always seem to have new shirts on their site even if you just looked the day before, have now started giving you 15% off their newest shirts. A sale you say? Yes, and it’s off new clothing, which is out of the ordinary. Here’s a couple new gems:

This shirt is for bacon lovers, which is everyone who cares about their taste buds. If you’re missing out on bacon for religious reasons, that sucks because bacon is the best.

Price: $20 – 15% = $16.99!

Marker Tees

June 23rd, 2009 by Phil

Today we’re going to take you where no other t-shirt has before.  Sure there are text tees, even customizable ones.  But have you ever seen a tee that you can write on to make your message clear?  How about one that you can change the message on every time you wear it?  Marker Tees makes this possibility a reality.  Every shirt sold at Marker Tees is intended to be drawn on with the complementary washable marker that comes in the package.  What a great idea.  The shirt that stood out for us, other than the basic text bubble shirt, was the “Hello my name is ___” shirt.  Now you have a name tag that has marker on it, but the name tag is the shirt and the marker comes out!! Mind-blowing paradox.  Check it out along with all of the other cool designs.


Price: $28.90 (marker included)

StandNBang

June 17th, 2009 by Phil

It takes a real man to stand and bang.  Get your minds out of the gutter, we’re talking about Mixed Martial Arts here folks.  What is more manly than standing and exchanging punches?  I’m still thinking so if you figure it out, let us know.  StandNBang.com offers the gear you need to show people who you are (or who you think you are in some cases) and what you are capable of.  Represent the art of solid stand-up with a whole selection of catchy phrases that put wresling and jiu-jitsu in their place.  Just be prepared to walk the walk if the time comes!!!

Goodjoe T-Shirts

June 12th, 2009 by Phil

This week we received a few shirts from Goodjoe T-Shirts who up to now we were unfamiliar with.  Our loss apparently because here’s a t-shirt site that will do anything to put a smile on your face.  A genuine happy smile, not the kind you get when someone hits their head on something and its funny.  The whole message at Goodjoe is that they are an interactive community that promotes and inspires change through creative design.  Goodjoe invites artists to submit their designs to the site, and if chosen as a shirt design there is a chance to get a whole slew of perks: $500+royalties ($1 per shirt sold)+$50 store credit.  I wish I could draw…  Anyways, Goodjoe also puts $1 per shirt into the “Goodjoe bucket” which supports non-profit organizations nominated by visitors to the site.  Another cool feature on Goodjoe is they have each artist tell a little bit about their design and what inspired them to create it.  On to the shirts!!

Its all about optimism and inspiration at Goodjoe and the shirts are the backbone of this effort.  While not really my personal style they are perfect for their targeted audience which just so happens to include my girlfriend who absolutely fell in love with the “Joy” shirt as soon as she saw it.  “Joy” is a Trevor Watts design and is in response to all the depressing news we fight everyday: forclosures, layoffs, the downward spiral of the stock market.  No matter what language you speak, its probably on this shirt.  And who could suppress a smile when you have a giant sun staring at you with a giant grin?  Spread the joy!!


Price: $18 (remember: $1 to the designer, $1 to non-profit orgs)

Another shirt that caught our eye here at TShirtReview was the “Thirsty for Life” design courtesy of feenix.  “Thirsty for Life” was inspired by the artist’s love for nature and environmental health and stresses the importance of planting trees as a way to combat the CO2 overdose we’re putting the planet through.  This is a shirt that I would wear as the colors and design are more masculine.  It kind of has a southwest feel to it that I like with the dead tree against the sun.

Ten Bills Tuesday

June 10th, 2009 by Phil

This week’s newest release from TenBills is a little bit different from the direction they have been going in.  “Academy of Thieves” is an interesting design but I’m not completely sure what they were trying to do.  Obviously its a tribute to “higher thievery” but I’m not completely sure what that means.  With the inclusion of baseball bats, brass knuckles and a straight razor (not sure what that has to do with thieving) I feel like its more of a shirt for regular old street brawlers.  I kind of associate things like lockpics and daggers with thieves but I guess I’m not the one designing the shirts huh?  I was able to get a translation on the Italian (originally thought it was Latin): “No honor among thieves.” Other than not really completely getting it, I like the shirt and the fact that it comes in three brilliant color combinations (as we have come to expect from TenBills).  If you figure it out, let me know!

TenBills Tuesday

June 2nd, 2009 by Phil

TenBills Tuesday is back on track!!! Not that it was really off-track, but I like to start things off with something exciting.  Not that you really need something exciting after you’ve seen the new release this week from TenBills.  The feature this week is trippy, to say the least.  Artist Jared Stumpenhorst breaks down our dreams and how they happen in his newest work, “Little Guy Dreamworld.”  It is centered around the “little guys” who are the artists of dreams and are constantly creating, moving and shaking the everchanging dreamscape.  There’s ducks and pencils and mushroom-trees and all kinds of crazy stuff hidden all over the place.  Its a crazy design but I feel like it would fit in perfectly in any college crowd or under 26 social gathering.  Or if you were born in the late 40′s of course.  TenBills is releasing the shirt in three brilliant color combos: blue on black, yellow on gray and purple on silver.

Price: $10.00
