We seem to be having a bit of an issue with posts getting set to unpublished about an hour or two after I hit “publish”. Worse than that, setting the post back to “published” uses an old revision of the post. It’s kind of annoying, but I’m doing what I can to narrow [...]

Initially, I was a little conflicted about running this. It is from Old Navy, after all. But my love for all things argyle won out in the end. Besides, I run stuff from Threadless here all the time — and as much as we don’t want to admit it, they’re not really [...]

I normally prefer to stay away from politics here, but I feel like I need to mention these shirts from the collective at ObamaRad. For $12.00, you get a super stylish tee that lets everyone know where you stand politically.
Well, at least I’d hope you were a supporter of Barack Obama if you were [...]

Change The Thought calls disestablishmentarian a twenty dollar word — and since this shirt’s going rate is fifteen bucks, I’m pretty sure this qualifies as a flat-out bargain.
Of course some of y’all will still cry about how expensive fifteen dollars is. Yeah, I hear you. The US economy sucks right now. Still, [...]

The familiar visage of Mickey Mouse constructed out of slightly skewed 1950’s style clip art? By all means, tell me more!
Oh, wait. I’m supposed to be the one telling you guys more, aren’t I? Well damn. That doesn’t bode well for me then, does it?
Actually, that first sentence pretty much sums [...]

This week’s TOTW was picked for one reason: the level of detail on the shirt. Now, some of you might be saying, “Big deal! Gimme a Wacom and a copy of Illustrator and I could do the same thing…”
Could you really? Probably. A little undo goes [...]

Speaking of designs that aren’t centered on the chest, the gang over at Octopus Ink have done up a pretty rad tee here. In fact, they’ve really managed to make the whole off-center thing work without having the shirt look like every other bit of generic “urban” streetwear.
Yes, it’s got a skull on it. [...]

You know, I really appreciate t-shirts that break away from the whole time honored “chest centered design” tradition. It makes things a bit more interesting.
Take this one from Turn Nocturnal for example. The design itself is a pretty simple one. The thing that makes it interesting tho is that it’s executed in [...]

I’m not sure if this subtle commentary on the endless number shirts that riff on Star Wars or if it’s just supposed to look cool — but I’ll pretend that it’s doing both.
Wait. That made it sound like I don’t really like this one. But I earnestly do. Right behind Boba Fett, [...]

The more I think about it, the more reluctant I am to call myself a proper type nerd. I’m only passingly familiar with all the various minutiae that would make me a true Typography wonk.
Despite that, I am a nerd who is fairly passionate about type. I almost always notice bad kerning and [...]
