Kinetix Asian Crane Apparel Features Japanese Calligraphy
2009-05-02 01:22:00
Every time I look at this tee, I feel a mystical energy comes out from this tee, probably because the distressed, artsy Japanese calligraphy art (which I don't understand the meaning) printed across the chest. I like the red-black color combination. It makes this apparel look great from here, at least on the front part. But its huge-and-bold Asian crane posted on the back which layered over a rising sun in vintage brick pigmentation rather put me off. I think it's overly design although not totally a flop.What do you think, should I complain about back side design of this tee? Overall, this Kinetix Asian Crane Tee does well for Asian T-shirt especially with it's washed in black with a slight v-neck and slim-fit shape. Check it out on eModa ($66)

Don't Delete Those Files Just Yet; Have This T-shirt to Honor Them
2009-05-01 19:18:00
You have been working on this project for few months already. To support your project, you researched ton of information from the Internet archives, physical journals, and from your own survey. It's a lot of time and energy spent to get all of these information. You have them saved in your computer folders. But they're too unorganized, kinda messy and you hate this situation. So you think spring-cleaning unused files will be great. But don't delete them just yet. Because, first, you will make Mr File(s) sad; second, you don't know when you will need them again. Thanks God there's recycle bin where you can temporarily dump unused files before you decide to delete them once you finish your project.Oh, I cannot imagine when you delete them. Mr File(s) must be very sad, and so you are -- there is bonding between you and them. Just like what Uneetee visualizes on its cranberry-color Tee shirt. Makes me a little bit unhappy when I have to dump my unused files to recycle bin, I imagin...

I'm with This T-shirt, No More Animal Testing
2009-04-30 16:12:00
People, it's serious. It is estimated that there are 50 to 100 million vertebrate animals worldwide which are are used annually in scientific experimentation. Medical schools and universities, pharmaceutical companies, defense establishments, and commercial facilities; those that provide animal-testing services to industry are the ones to blame.People, it's serious. If we can't pass basic English spelling test, why should animals have to? I'd rather buy this tee ($20) than products from companies that promote animal testing, especially if the test is difficult I can't even finish it. Thanks No Star Clothing for designing this tee. Now, let's start campaign protesting animal testing!

I Have Dis... Disleck... Dyslec... I Just Want to Say I Like This Tee!
2009-04-29 07:39:00
Let's admitted, I'm addicted to spelling checker. Whether it's working on Microsoft Word or any other word processing software, I can't finish my work without it. The more I write and the faster I type -- the more red-underline I get, never failed to warn me about my wrong spelling. Does it mean I suffer dyslexia? Well, I don't know because everything seems so natural. I believe I'm okay although I can be worry sometime. If you're heavy user of spelling checker, you have to question yourself. Turn off the automatic spelling checker and think about some difficult words -- type it down, and check if your English is better than 5th grader. If your result is bad, don't cry. You just joined millions of people* who don't know they suffer disleck... Oops, I mean dyslexia. No shame about it. Feel free to tell people about it with this tee ($14.99) and chance is they will either laugh at you or themselves.*some of these people have actually established an underground organization fo...

A Poor Little Bat-Man Has to Lay Down on This T-shirt
2009-04-28 08:33:00
Batman is a bad man, because he forces a little "bat man" to do job he doesn't like. The searchlight with a bat-shaped insignia over the lens is actually the "Bat-signal" that cracks into the night sky of Gotham City. It creates a cool bat-symbol on a passing cloud -- an important signal for Batman when Gotham City police need him to fight over a crime. However, little know when bat-shaped insignia is broken, poor little "bat man" has to come to work. It seems like he doesn't have any any other except for having this job. Become a hero is not always so glamorous after all.I imagine a re-design of this graphic tee with glow-in-the-dark print showing bat-logo, it must be cool. But even without special print, this tee is still pretty much my hilarious pop culture T-shirt of the day ($18).

The design printed using 5 color Plastisol inks on American Apparel black tee.I first mentioned ShirtFight about few weeks ago before their launch on 5th March. ShirtFight aims to be the next popular T-shirt design competition of the internet (which is almost synanymous to Threadless). I was pretty excited prior to launch but not so much after that. I'm not saying that all three initial tees are bad (well, the first tee is not that good but I respect ShirtFight's members vote) but it seems like ShirtFight's designs can't get around of incredible monsters and weird-creatures. I really hope to see more variety next time around.

Hey, I just noticed this: Shirtcity gets a new look. The new website is cleaner and simpler but more appealing. More info about the new website can be read on Shirtcity's blog. Shirtcity takes the right direction of showcasing design created by its members-designers. Instead of putting all designs and resulting in cluttered pages, it shows only few best (hand picked I believe) T-shirts.One of my favorite features of the new website is that you can choose tees based on topic of the design like "adult", "for geeks", "holidays", "celebrities", "love" and as I said, you will get a handful selected designs from each topic. Even better, these designs presented nicely with models wearing instead of just just preview of designs. If you see CafePress website, it's actually what they do as well. CafePress is now putting handful tees good designs the front page and the rest (those ugly ones) behind.
