Mr. Typo
Mr. Typo by nicebleed
Looking at my latest featured tees in this blog, and the recent prints at DBH, it looks there´s a trend for animal t-shirts. Nothing wrong about it, although seeing so many of these side by side, you get the feeling that a bit of change and more original designs could be needed. So, to break away from this subject, I decided to feature this week Mr. Typo by nicebleed. It may not be the most original of designs, but, for sure, a great take on this theme. A clever mix of elements with a strong flow, and a color scheme that helps giving this design a lot of movement and rhythm. The use of orange and yellows along with the black, contrasting with the white t-shirt, make this oversized print quite powerful to look at.

Zazzle Friday 11
This Friday, on my usual post about Zazzle, I decided to feature the store of Rebecca Czosnek. The two prints showcased above, are just an example of the kind of art you´ll find in this store.

Le Joli Couple…
Le joli couple... by beyond the chuch'
So, Valentine´s day is approaching soon, and when talking about love and romance, nothing like a bit of french touch to make it even more glamorous. Because of this, I’m featuring a design from LaFraise, Le joli couple… by beyond the chuch’. Beautiful illustration with a clever use of t-shirt color, great linework and characters. The way it breaks from the oval shape in the background, and the hand written text makes it well balanced, but keeping it at the same time quite dynamic. To see this design in greater detail, just click on the image, that will take you to this product’s page at LaFraise.

Rhinoceros Valley
Guess I will keep the trend from yesterday post, and feature another “rhino” shirt, this time coming from Threadless. Rhinoceros Valley by Joe Carr is an amazingly detailed illustration, that although being one color only, has a great range of tones created by the density of the linework. This has to be admired from up close, to really see all the details that transform the shape of the rhino´s head into a beautifully drawn landscape. So anyone wearing this t-shirt has to be ready to have people “in their face” admiring all the things you can only get a hint from, watching it from the distance. If you wanna see this design in greater detail, which in this case is mandatory, to fully understand the concept and idea behind this t-shirt, just click on the image.
On another note, if you haven´t yet decided what to offer your loved one this Valentine´s day, and think that a cool tee would make him happy, you might wanna check out the VDay sale on Threadless, with all the “luv” tees at $14. This sales ends the 5th February, and to see what designs are available just head over to their homepage, by clicking here, or using the link on the sidebar.

Breaking Down Barriers
Breaking Down Barriers by gaunty
From the latest prints available at Design by Hümans, I decided to feature today, Breaking Down Barriers by gaunty. A strong illustration with a great use of textures, making that animal really powerful and menacing, popping out of the t-shirt. The oversized print also helps to make this design quite impressive, and the way the shards of glass were rendered makes the contour of the illustration quite dynamic, adding to the overall flow that this concept requires.
Clicking on the image we´ll take you to the DBH shop, where you can see this design in greater detail.

Recycled Paper Textures
Today, I decided to once again, offer some free textures. I had some recycled paper left overs, and I think they make a cool texture, so I scan them and the result are the images you see above. I didn´t make any editing on them, just a bit of color correction, so basically, they´re like they were scanned. This textures are free for you to use in your personal and commercial projects, with no accreditation necessary. The only thing I ask, is that you don´t redistribute or sell them as your own. And if you like to share them, please do it with a link to this post. Click on the images to see it in greater detail, and download them, or click here to get them all in a zip file. It would also be nice to see how you used them, so if you want, leave me a link in the comments to your work with these textures.
I wanted also to thank Wayne from the ZumTees T-Shirt Designs Blog, who featured one of my designs yesterday. You can check out that post here.

Zazzle Friday 10
On other posts in this blog I featured some of the brands who have their stores on Zazzle to sell their merchandise. This time I´m doing it again with the community store of Mozilla, creators of the famous browser Firefox. This is a different store from the others I featured before, since most of the designs available as t-shirts there, were submited by members of the Mozilla community. The two designs featured above, were the result of a collaboration between Mozilla and Infectious and besides these t-shirts, they are also available at Infectious in their range of products. The first one is from a portuguese artist, Paulo Arraiano, whose work I showcased before in this blog. The second one is from David Lanham, and you can know a little more about him and his work by checking his website: http://dlanham.com. So, if you´re a Firefox user that wouldn´t mind wearing a cool t-shirt, or would just like to help the Mozilla Project by buying some of their merchandise, or even submitting your own work to that store, just click on the images or use the links below it.

The Beetles
The Abbey Road album cover from The Beatles is one of those classic images, that is hard that you´ve never seen it, even if you don´t know much about them or their music. Images and designs inspired by it are countless, and a simple search over the Internet will easily show that. But, at least, regarding t-shirts, it won´t be easy to find a lot that are as cool as the new tee from Alex Solis, The Beetles, now available on Threadless. A clever take on this theme, original and different enough to be justified, served on a “rock” solid illustration, probably good enough to became a “classic” on his own. So, if you´re a fan of The Beatles, or of a great t-shirt with a pop culture reference, you won´t regret clicking on the image, and going to this product´s page to see this design in greater detail.
On another note, if you´re thinking of a way to help the victims from Haiti´s earthquake, Threadless is selling a t-shirt Many Hands Make The Load Lighter, where all proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development fund.

Medusa
The Medusa by TheMightytiki
A few weeks ago, I featured a t-shirt by TheMightytiki, Cosmonaut. This time I´m featuring another winning design by this artist, Medusa. A solid illustration with a great linework, making excellent use of the t-shirt color as an element of the design. Using octopus tentacles instead of snakes, although making this not a true Medusa, works perfectly on giving some originality and variation to a, otherwise, overused theme. A beautifully done shading and the expression on the face are also other strong points in this design.
Clicking on the image we´ll take you to the DBH shop, where you can see this design in greater detail.

Hearts and Ghosts
This post was planned to be written yesterday, but with my daughter´s 8th birthday, when I finally got time to sit in front of the computer, I was too tired to even think about it. So, I´m doing it today, and if you look at the images above, you´ll see that I decided to, once again, do a bit of shameless self-promotion.
Like mentioned on last Friday´s post, I´m working on a new product line in my Zazzle gallery with a ghost theme. The mousepad showcased above was one the products I first published using a black and white “ghost pattern”. This product won a TBA (Today´s Best Award) last 21st January.
The product below it, is a postcard using a heart pattern and a simple line of text, for the upcoming Valentine´s day.
Clicking on the images will take you to that products page, where you can see them in greater detail.
