Self-initiated T-shirt

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:33 GMT

Self-initiated project created by Petter Hanberger to have a tee as calendar (for the year 2009), so you can save some space on your wallet — instead of having that small calendar card.

A pen is also attached to mark the shirt. Although the picture only show that you can fill in one box for each day that the shirt is being used, I think you can use this calendar shirt as simple schedule-reminder or notes for the day. After a year, I believe this tee will be a piece of art — especially if you're a very busy person.

As mentioned on the website "After one year the (real) T-shirt design is finished (with your help!)" I'm not sure if we can buy this tee, but it will be awesome to have one.

Petter is a student at Beckmans College of Design, Stockholm

Notes from Paris Trois: Got the T-shirt?

Sat, 03 Jan 2009 11:17 GMT

So here it is, the third and final instalment of notes from Paris. This one may be slightly inventive (I didn’t actually see anyone in the French capital wearing one of these) but oh it’s a good one. After flap hats and masculine roll necks it’s time for a t-shirt. You know that awful phrase: ‘Been there, done that, got the t-shirt‘? The reason why it’s so awful is because the t-shirts people get are usually quite uninventive, but if you’ve been to Paris, or even if you haven’t, this t-shirt is anything but boring.

Who loves Paris?

Not does this design feature the ultimate landmark of Paris, the Eiffel Tower, it also gives you the tongue of a native, clear your throats and get your mouths ready for some over pronunciation because ‘J’aime Paris’. Any Parisian would strip off their roll neck sweater faster than you can say ‘Zut Alors!’ if they were wearing one of these t-shirts by Lazy Oaf underneath it. Even the Eiffel Tower has put a little bit of blusher on her cheeks to make sure you look your best. But if, despite my riveting fashion notes, Paris isn’t the city for you not to worry, because they do an ‘I heart London’ t-shirt too.

You've got to love England, even the big fat raincloud is cheery

Faesthetic Issue 10

Thu, 01 Jan 2009 19:10 GMT

Ah yes, the 10th issue of art magazine Faesthetic has just been released and, as always, it looks to be yet another winner. "Scams & Deceit" is the theme for this issue, with over 35 artists contributing this time around to bring you 128 pages of 2-color goodness.

For those who've never heard, Faesthetic is "By Artists, For Artists! The Fast Aesthetic..." - an art for artists magazine that was originally an annual photocopied endeavor, but now drops 3 wonderful issues a year. The idea is to keep it cheap ($10), original and accessible while remaining entirely ad-free, so drop a bill on the new ish' and Think Faest!

The Democratic and Republican (New Year) Party

Sat, 27 Dec 2008 08:36 GMT

When Tom Burns makes a party, it must be politically hilarious. Rangga (a guest blogger from Cottonable) discover yet another “party” tees from the freelance designer who famous with the Communist Party tee

Celebrating the new year eve and post presidential election, Tom Burns came up with Democratic Party and Republican Party — both sold on Loiter. The two tees can be regarded as Tom's comeback after the famous The Communist Party T-shirt for Threadless (there's a re-design version as well).

Other than giving Creative Director position to Tom, it seems like Loiter has been the ultimate place where he releases some of the newest designs — while helping other freelance artists to get steady paycheck.

Loiter itself is a re-branded version of hilarious T-shirts maker called Lucky Threadz which had been featured on Tcritic a couple of times.

Evolution Rescue T-shirt and SainsCreative

Thu, 25 Dec 2008 04:23 GMT

Rangga (a guest blogger from Cottonable) found that SainsCreative T-shirts does not only make you laugh, but also make you scratch your head and think a little bit:

SainsCreative is a brainchild of Debra Sains, an artist and graphic designer from Melbourne, Australia. Sharing similar experience with Jeremy Kalgreen's Teach The Controversy, SainsCreative explores common perceptions and twists them with fresh, out-of-the box kind of ideas. Who knows that Alien rescued our primate ancestors before the worst evolution happen?

Ah, that forget those wacky monsters Debra created… Have you ever heard of Monster Dog Kitty, Monster Dog Dandy or The Holy Grail?

SainsCreative has one T-shirt especially dedicated to all T-shirt Design beginners out there too!

Notes from Paris Deux: Rollers that don't curl your hair

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 12:56 GMT

Along with a string of onions, the male in the roll neck sweater has ‘Je suis French’ written all over it. The festive season, like the Parisian man’s sweater, is all about the roll. Sausage rolls, rolls of wrapping paper, paper hats with bad jokes rolled up inside crackers, and then there’s the festive Yule log, which is essentially a chocolate roll.

American's have their own roll varieties

If you open your eyes I sure you’ll see that the roll is all a round. Those French boys know it, and during my trip to Paris the roll neck could not be escaped. I’m not denying that a plain-black, slim-fit roll is completely repulsive on a man in any way, in fact wiz a falze franch accent zay can make you look vairee continental, but you do have to have a certain physique to pull them off. Coupled with that it’s wise to avoid hairy sweaters otherwise you end up looking like one of Santa’s helpers…yep, that’d be a reindeer. Excepting one memorable example of a tweed effect, super-hairy, super-thick roll neck at the airport, my trip was punctuated by a number of surprisingly tolerable male rollers, and I have to admit that when done right the roll-neck does have a splash of Carte Noire charm about it. If you’re keen on replicating the definitive Parisian neck and you have the body of a honed athlete then practise your French accent because you’ll be all right tight. I’m sure that if you stick off the mince pies for the foreseeable future this snug Lyle & Scott roll neck will make you look more Parisian than the Arc de Triomphe. And if you love mince pies so much that you’d like your roll neck to replicate a pastry pattern in its neck the S.N.S. Herning have made your dreams come true with their bolt roll neck, just look at that lattice. Good luck guys you’re going to need it, this one’s tricky to pullover. Just remember that contrary to the musical claims made by Oasis, you’ve not got to roll with it.

Roll up, Roll up

TONA, 71 t-shirts

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 07:28 GMT

Together with Streetartist TONA from Hamburg, KOTTON from Berlin printed 71 unique and numbered design-tees on American Apparel-Shirts.

It is a mixture of both, high quality silkscreen print with waterbased colors and a special print method for stencils with waterbased colors.

Their aim was to create an unique garden on each shirt; they used four screens with several flowers, branches, grasses and animals as well as several handmade stencils – and they performed a big battle with these objects on each shirt.

During three days of printing in a huge silkscreen print shop in Berlin, each Shirt now is printed several times all over. You find natural gradients of colors as well as nice overlays of stencil and silkscreen.
