At UrbanRetro they have just put up some new designs for the very popular brand Terratag which features some very cool robot art on t-shirts.

You can see the full range of Terratag T-Shirts here.

Australian online t-shirt retailer FABNOB (Fabulous Nobodies) has just added an interview with Miami-based artist Freegums (Alvaro Ilizarbe).

German Designer Jonas “JonEz!” Kakoschke had a take on the “Free Hugs” idea that has been around for quite some years now. His idea might be even more useful to some people …”Fuck Free Hugs - Got Free Fucks!”

“Muse” by Lukas “Artill” Bischoff is a tribute to art itself. It takes its idea from greek mythology and represents the patron of art, daughter of Zeus.

Finally “Red Soul City” is a great minimalist Design by Sven “a.mar.illo” Palmowski that just uses some different shades of red to create a another weird city.

The term “Survival of the Fittest” dates back to Charles Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection, and in today’s tough economic climate, who can deny that survival is the name of the game?

Together, Akomplice and respected Chicago-based retailer, Leaders 1354, have a combined 12 years in the industry, allowing them to build an understanding about what it takes to survive in this game. With that in mind, Akomplice has teamed up with Leaders 1354 to save the day by producing a stunning “Survival of the Fittest Pack” which includes an Akomplice x Leaders Swiss Army knife, an Akomplice x Leaders T-shirt, a certificate of authenticity and a lemon (That’s right, because when life chucks a lemon at you, say “fuck it” and make some juice.)

The T-shirt features a Swiss Army knife-inspired design which highlights 10 qualities necessary for surviving life. If you’ve watched MacGyver, you already know how crucial a pocket knife is in tough times, this one just happens to look really nice.

Everything comes nicely packaged in a rope-bound black box. Limited to just 30 packs worldwide, this very special release will drop on May 23rd, at 12 noon, and is available exclusively at the Leaders Boutique in Chicago (1400 Milwaukee Ave).

Our tshirt of the week is the “Hang Loose” tshirt, available at Karmaloop:

Special T-shirt release from LUDWIG, produced in collaboration with the Miles Davis Foundation!

When LUDWIG were approached by the Miles Davis Foundation to produce a special T-shirt to mark the 50th anniversary of Miles’ seminal LP Kind of Blue, they jumped on the opportunity to work with the people who safeguard the legacy of jazz legend Miles Davis.

It makes sense when you consider that LUDWIG’s Creative Director, Mike Dytri, is a huge Miles Davis fan. Indeed, Mike’s own graphic design book released several years ago was named “Bitches Brew,” in tribute to Miles and his music…

The limited edition T-shirt comes on one of LUDWIG’s great enzyme washed custom T-shirts, and it will be exclusively available at the LUDWIG online shop.

Matt, Origin 68:

“It’s nearly summer gang, we can practically taste it here at 068 Towers… we can certainly smell it. Hmmm. Anyway, we figured we needed a nice new shirt in the proverbial wardrobe to kick off the season. That shirt is the zingy lemon fresh typographically adorned, Anonymous.

This t-shirt has two purposes. Most importantly it’s some great telephone book camouflage should you find yourself on the run and and the only place you can hide is a giant stack of Yellow Pages. Secondly, don’t just be another one of lifes lemmings, you may well be unfortunate enough to actually be called John Smith, Joe Bloggs or Horationzo Van Sprancockelstein III, but that doesn’t mean you have to act like one of them.

Man up and do something amazing. This shirt also looks pretty sweet… damn… This t-shirt has three purposes…”

Ashley Anderson:

“Hellmouth is a small sketch I created about 2 years ago back when I worked for the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah. Georgia.

I had a lot of spare time each day in my job which allowed me to fill my sketchpad with tons of doodles that have slowly come to see the light of day as shirt designs, stickers, and paintings.

This particular design is actually a combination of two images done one above the other. It is a little telling of the kind of imagery I was taking in at the time: street signs, old videogames I was playing on emulators, and a book about various images of the devil in European art.

I reckon you can go back and just cut and paste the info about “Ri-Damn-Diculous” from your earlier article. If you need me to write anything new, I sure don’t mind. I would like to mention the trouble I went through to transfer the image from a hand-drawn shirt into a reproducible digital image:

I photographed the shirt hanging flat on a board, printed out the photo, traced the photo to tracing paper on my light table, scanned the tracing, then cleaned up the scan in photoshop with my wacom. Even more work to justify the design’s title, I’d say!

It’s odd to look at these older designs and see how simple they seem now compared to what I’ve been making lately. I hope to get my present work out to the rest of the world a little quicker in the future, but I do appreciate that 2k and its customers have thought well enough of my images to invest in printing them.

It’s a really big compliment, and my family is tickled pink, of course .”

This is his very first women’s t-shirt design.

It consist of his icon motif making up “X” and “O.” (Which we know of as, hugs and kisses).

This design comes in three colorways: Pink & Grey, Red & Black
and a Pink & Blue print on a women’s 100% cotton Anvil cap sleeve
t-shirt.

Available in Small, Medium, Large and XLarge.
Price $20.00 plus shipping&handling
