Temptation


The title for this shirt is "time waits for no man" but it kind of reminds of the old-timey magic poster, where the prevalent theme is the devil whispering secrets into the conjurer's ear.

The Rule of the Best



What I like about Thriving Ink is the collaboration with other artists. I especially like this one called The Aristocrat not only because of it's stunning commentary about the horrors of war but also because it reminds me of a dirty joke.

And a dirty joke is always welcomed in times of bullets and bloodshed.

Never Say Die


Sorry for the radio silence but school has been kicking my ass all week. In fact, school is pinning me down and sodomizing my ass. Yeah... I welcome your thanks for the imagery.



Quick post. Me Against The World is selling a limited edition t-shirt, 50 in quantities for the (wait for it) price of... ten dollars. Lovely skull and type are printed on a Gildan tee. Once they're gone, they're gone.

So, why are you still reading this? Go get one.

Do You Think Harry Would Have Sex With This Horse?


I love riding horses. The graceful way they gallop, able to jump hurdles. Just thinking about straddling a strong majestic beast gives me such a thrill.

...

Writing that last sentence just made me feel weird.

Anyway, Skullphone does really sick drawings and one of them happens to be a skeletal horse. With skeletal wings. I love the details of the anatomy. Ignoring the physics of a skeletal winged horse flying, that is a sight to behold.

Tenner

Here's news that you already know.

Ten Bills released their third series of t-shirts entitled, "Our World, Today." I lust after Ashes to Ashes because it has skulls. Oh, and the underlying message of smoking and death or something.

Edit - According to the artist, the design is indeed about smoking and death.

Monies: US$10 (duh)

It's Like "An Inconvenient Truth"... But On a T-Shirt

Kristy Zenk from Planet Truth wants to promote her environmental wares. These are not your run-of-the-mill "Save the Trees" t-shirts. According to Zenk, all her t-shirts are made from organic cotton that's pesticide-free and everything, from the manufacturing of the tees to the printing and selling of it are done in Australia. It costs a pretty penny but portion of the sales goes to charity.

These are t-shirts of stark truth. RECYCLE, DAMN YOU!!!

My favorite is the Debt Culture top for the ladies. It's a take on the public's need for consumption... but wait! Is it ironic, that this tee costs forty-five in dead presidents? I leave it to you, dear consumers, to figure it out.

Know Your Onion

Hey kids!

Spring break is upon us like the great tide of doom so why not do something that doesn't require you peeling your tops off to flash your boobies for the camera and cheap beads... why not cover your horrid nakedness with t-shirts from Threadless?!!!

Threadless is now having a Spring Break Sale where t-shirts are going for US$10 a pop! Might I suggest this apt t-shirt, Nesting Dolls, a unique play on the Russian knick-knack. Don't just wear it, ponder the deeper significance of this t-shirt: a t-shirt about a twist on the nesting dolls, covers your skin, which covers your meat, which covers your bones, which covers your essence...

Wearing this t-shirt will... blow. Your. Mind.

"... Cause he had no body to go with!"

I always found it interesting to see anatomical designs on a t-shirt. It's like wearing something your skin keeps in. So here's some t-shirts that uses the rib-cage motif.

First up, the Misfits who popularizes the skeleton on tee concept. The Full Burnout Skeleton tee retails for US$20. Go get one and show Misfits your love.

At the other side of the rock spectrum is Letters Kills, a now defunct Christian band that sells Rib Cage tee. Well, it's half of a rib cage, which would explain why it's selling at US$5.99.

Smell Your Mum, which is a little like Hot Topic, only harder, sells a rib cage tee as well. It costs £12.99 and worldwide shipping is free.


Waffo sells a nice skeleton t-shirt that is similar to Misfit's own but Waffo's shirts are really soft... secret soft. It costs US$28.99 and it comes in black on green or a black on yellow. It's also printed on a jacket, which costs US$54.99.

Lazy Oaf has a tee called the Rib Tickler. It costs £25.

Threadless has reprinted Caged by Frank Barbara, a clever t-shirt that utilizes puns in its design. It's US$15 for guys, US$17 for girls, US$25 for long sleeve.

And now, we come to the progenitor of the anatomical tee, originally drawn by Dr. Leslie Arwin. Being a medical illustrator and anatomist, Dr. Arwin assures that all designs are 100% legit. Besides the skeleton motif, there's other designs like the intestinal tract motif as well. It retails for US$19.95.

Well, that about covers shirts with skeleton motifs. See you next time.
