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 [...]

One of my favorite things about living in a city with such a large hispanic population — other than the ladies, of course — is Dia de los Muertos. Sure, it’s not a drinking holiday like Cinco de Mayo is, but it is still jam packed full of interesting cultural iconography.
Take sugar skulls for [...]

“Here’s some advice I wish I would have got when I was your age… Live every week, like it’s Shark Week.”
Tracy Jordan, “30 Rock”
Oh Shark Week… You may have ended almost a month ago, but this shirt from Mediocre Clothing should serve pretty nicely as a reminder of just how brutal your subject matter can [...]

For whatever reason, the novelty of 3D movies has never quite worn off for me. Yeah, rocking the glasses for 90 minutes is kind of teh suck. Still, having crazy shit flying at your face and freaking you out totally makes up for it. Well, it does for me at least.
I know [...]

I’m going to be totally honest with you, the Sound Burger (a.k.a Mister Disc) was never on my radar until I found out about this shirt like two years ago. Initially my general opinion was like, “Oh, what a funky little record player.” But I managed to come across this tee from the [...]

It would appear that I’m not the only person on Waterloo’s press release list. I’m not trying to be egocentric there, I’m just saying that because their latest batch of shirts seems to be making the rounds on a few of the t-shirt blogs across the internets. And that’s cool — they do [...]

Oh hai, Enclothe! It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. It looks like you’ve lost a bit of weight — and I like what you’ve done with your hair. Oh, I see that you’ve added a bunch of really nice tees to your catalog too. Bonus.
Out of all the ones [...]
