Cheap Tonic Tees – moving offer
Monday, March 30, 2009 9:19 No CommentsTonic, based in the UK, have a nice line in subtly humorous T-shirts. A few months ago we featured their Brucie Tee, showing the ancient hoofer, Bruce Forsyth, strutting his stuff and now they’ve been in touch to tell us about their packing-up-and-moving-in-with-the-neighbours deal. What it means is that their bags are only £8, T-shirts [...]

Going green Tees with People Tree

Punk classic T-shirts from classic punks
Wednesday, March 18, 2009 12:02 No CommentsFifth Column was formed in 1977 – think about that for a moment. 1976, When Johnny Rotten was still spitting, The Clash still had their training wheels on and boy bands and girl bands hadn’t even been invented.

‘How do you like your eggs?’ T-shirt

It has bad weather (most of the time), too much chocolate of the ‘minute on the lips – lifetime on the hips’ variety, and no good parties.

Coraline T-shirts reviewed
Wednesday, March 4, 2009 13:28 2 CommentsOkay for those of us who give a damn about the world of illustration, which includes animation, graphic novels, street art and all that good stuff, Neil Gaiman has been, along with Alan Moore, a force. A real force. They are both British too, don’t forget that. So when you get two films based on [...]

Wednesday, March 4, 2009 5:39 4 CommentsAfter the response to our top t-shirt sites article we thought we might try to catalogue the people behind the designs, those who often go unnoticed behind the scenes – the t-shirt designers.
