Today’s tee from Zoe Clothing is in honor of my drinking of way too many Kamikazes this weekend… and, well, I don’t really think that needs any further explanation… or discussion. I haven’t drank that much in a while, but at least I wasn’t puking up Pat O’Brien’s Hurricanes at the Alamo at 3 in the morning this time…
Kamikaze
1 oz Vodka
1 oz Triple sec
1 oz Lime juice
Shake with ice and strain into an old fashion glass. Serve. Repeat…
I’m tired of looking at a fuckin’ computer screen. I’m going to bed… Oh alright, here’s your tee for the day. I’ve gotta relax on this work ethic thing…
So, who wouldn’t want a tee with a crazy octopus with some letters floating around in it’s head? Kinda looks like something Flea would have tatted on his back or something… Oh well, get one if you’ve got 30 Euros floating around to burn. I don’t even care how insanely expensive that is right now…
I know there was a big deal a little while back about sports teams and stuff not being allowed to use any kind of Native American names, icons or any of that shit, but I’m wondering if this tee from No Star is okay? Yeah, you got severely shafted by the crazy white folks in the boats, but c’mon. Lighten up a little. If anything, sports teams and Army helicopters named after you should be a compliment. That’s just their way of saying you’re some badass brothers…
Whoever the dumbass is that tries to spam the comment boxes with the cheapest place to buy Viagra or whatever once in a while, notice they don’t show up. Go ahead and try to slam me or whatever, I’ll approve that, but not dick pill ads…
I’ve been meaning to search out more hoodies for all of you who might be freezing your asses off already and Enclothe is about to start shipping their classic “451″ on hoodies. So if a nice new black hoodie with a design inspired by Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 doesn’t warm you to the soul, I don’t know what will… if they made a “Destroyer” hoodie maybe?
Well kids, if you’ve been waiting around for reprints of those old school Threadless designs Radios and Afternoon Delight, you know, the one with the unicorn gettin’ a piece, they’ve been reprinted along with a couple others and 6 new ones. 1o total. Check ‘em out.
Okay, just so nobody thinks we’ve gone soft with the links to all those charity tees, here’s the tasteless tee of the day. A new one by Reason (can’t find a site for them), but it’s available at KrudMart. Or is this just a shockingly crude social commentary? I guess you can take a tee with an image of bombs strapped to your belly however you want… err, well, no, I guess there isn’t really that many ways to take it…
Alright, so Hurricane Katrina doesn’t really seem to be the top headline anymore, but New Orleans is still fucked. I guess by now everyone has seen the sold out Threadless charity tee, the Mule Design charity tee (but personally, I’d rather get the George Bush Doesn’t Care About Black People tee from Mule), but to me, when I think of my time spent in New Orleans the one thing that comes to mind (besides sex shops, excellent food, drinking in the streets and voodoo) is music. So when I saw this tee from Ropeadope benefitting the New Orleans Musicians Hurricane Relief Fund, with it’s simply yet clever design, I had to give it a plug. So have a happy Monday (sorry we were gone all weekend), do something good for all the displaced musicians in New Orleans and get a nice tee all at the same time. It’s only 20 bucks, c’mon.
Ropeadope also has some other charity tees if you’re looking to help others but get something in return (cheap bastard!) They’ve got a “Drug Dealer” tee that helps provide medicine to children and families in Africa with AIDS, but I’m not sure I’d really like to walk around with a tee that just says “Drug Dealer” on it though… but whatever. Maybe you do, I dunno.
You dig punk, noise and all around weird-ass music? And black tees? Yeah, I know this one isn’t black, but most of them are… they’ve got several bands that I dig, but I couldn’t pass up this Atom & His Package tee with it’s obnoxious yellow and pink print. So if looking for something a little hard to listen to, give No Idea Records a peek… err, a listen… well… both.
I think I left a piss puddle when I saw my newest prized possession. But before you go clicking to try and buy one, can’t you read?! You can’t have it! It’s all mine!… and it’s the only one in the world! Keep reading… this is a more than a bit unusual…
Snerko is an art project by “the world’s foremost handwritten t-shirt designer”, Dan Rollman. A few things make it truely unusual. First, Dan interviews people in person or on the phone for about 15 minutes to get to know them, then designs a custom tee for them from what he’s gathered in the course of the conversation - apparently Dan could tell the severity of my tee addiction when we talked. This blew me away when I got it. It’s what I’ve always wanted, but didn’t know it. A tee that nobody else anywhere has, and let’s them know it, and let’s them know a little something about me all at the same time.
Secondly, in true Burning Man fashion (where you might find Dan making making shirts for people) - they’re not for sale. They are done for art’s sake, beyond the value our everyday economic society puts on everything. He’s the fashion designer of the “gifting economy.” Where things are given away or traded for.
Or you might find him and his photographer partner having a gallery show in which visitors are greeted with a wall full of empty frames. Over the course of the evening, Dan will visit with people, bust out some shirts, give them to people, while photos are taken of them on their proud new owners and placed in the frames creating the gallery showing.
So, by now you’re asking, “If they aren’t for sale, how can I get one?” Right? Well, hit Dan up with a barter offer and you just might find yourself wearing a Rollman original one day soon.
note: The one in the picture here is mine if you haven’t guessed. I was gonna title this post “Economics Aside” before I knew what my tee was gonna say, but had to change it once I tore the package open and saw this beauty.
Much Respect to my man Dan. Go see Snerko now!
and sorry for the shitty picture, the connector on my USB cable for my digital camera is fucked up so I had to throw this on the scanner.
