Aled Lewis is the guy behind some of my all time favorite Threadless t-shirts. Everyone he produces seems to get printed and the reason is because how well they visually communicate a concept. They are all brilliant. I was excited to finally discover his work.
Well, while we are on the subject of t-shirts today I think Hecklewood deserves a mention for their spring collection this year. There are some new classics in their line for sure. The tee posted above is testament to that fact.
The notorious Tank Theory Set has just updated their website with in-depth Artist Profiles for each artist that they have worked with over the years. This truly is an All Star Team, definitely swing through and check it. Also, stay tuned for the next TTxMWM Tee dropping soon. Big up to Zach and Andrew!
One of my favorite simple and contemporary t-shirt makers, Ser-vice has updated with some new designs. Always tasty, clean and timeless.
I have written about the awesome t-shirts for sale at Design By Humans before but I couldn’t resist writing about this new tee. I just love this design. I know it is on the hipster drawing tip but I love what the copy says, ‘After the rain comes a rainbow‘.
Because of the geek I am, I own a few of these T-Shirts. Which are inspired from some classic cult films. For the geek in you I highly recommend checking this site out.
Sixpack France recently released some new shirts. They have had an ongoing series of premium artist designed shirts for a while now similar to 2k. There are some really fantastic shirts in their collection now from the likes of Cody Hudson, Parra, Steven Harrington and Grotesk. The only major setback is that the shirts will cost your 37 Euros and that is a little rich for a working-class american’s blood these days, if you were to ask my opinion. Sorry Cody Hudson, I love you but I most likely won’t be rocking your steez this summer.
There are some pretty hot vector illustrations and t-shirt designs on display at the website of France-based MEGA.
I have realized lately I have pretty much all together stopped posting cool places to find well designed clothing. So, I am going to make an effort to do something clothing and fashion related posts more frequently. With that said, there are some pretty cool wares at NYC-based Built By Wendy. The exploding Mickey Mouse shirt is a must have.
This has got to be one of the nerdiest design shirts ever made and yet it is totally awesome and I want one really bad. What a great idea. The shirt, designed by Turn Nocturnal, features all your favorite Sans-Serif typefaces including Helvetica, Meta, Avenir, Frutiger, Officina, Optima, Gotham, Akzidenz Grotesk, Univers, Trade Gothic, Din, Agenda, Interstate, News Gothic, Myriad, Eurostile, Futura, and Gill Sans. Notably, the shirt does not feature Arial (thank you for that).

The affair offers up t-shirts referencing issues and ideas that are a little more high-brow then your average pop-culture savvy trend-whoring consumer might be interested in. Especially in a trend-whoring pop-culture savvy industry like ours (design and advertising). So, if you like the idea of sporting something that ‘looks’ trendy but references an issue, idea or book that you might feel strongly about then the line of t-shirts at The Affair were made just be for you. If you want to know even more about them, you can also read up on their blog. Is it just me or does anyone not have a blog these days?
There is some seriously sweet duds for grabs by the underground fashion brand +41 at their website. The problem is, they are asking for Euros not dollars and that doesn’t exactly make them cheap for those of us who have the misfortune of working in the Bush economy. If you feel like springing for and expensive t-shirt on the other hand, you could do a lot worse. Their new 42 Hubble Serie of tees are a particular standout, especially if you are a sucker for Hubble space telescope imagery like myself. If only I had thought to screen those images onto a t-shirt.
