Last Wish

Last Wish from Disturbia

If someone had described this tee to me I wouldn't have bothered to check it out. Generally I hate boxed edges on artwork and skulls have been done to death. This turns out to be the exception to the rule. I like how the art is cut into by the neck seam. It is something I have never seen before and it really stands out. There is a real hand drawn look which I find really compelling considering the crazy amount of detail. Ultimately it is the character itself that sells this for me. The pose and clothing bring to my mind Native Americans although I am not sure if that is what the artist intended. Lastly it is a skull tee that isn't black, a rarity in itself.

Fvneral Apparel

Fvneral Apparel

It's finally here. I have been waiting (pretty impatiently) for this brand to launch. Fvneral is the brainchild of artist Robert Borbas aka. Grindesign and features not just his work but also the likes of Craig Robson, Joshua Andrew Belanger and Niclas Mortensen. After lots of sneak peek teases on facebook it is great to have a good look at the designs. Make sure you head on over and have a look for yourself.

Croc Lord

Croc Lord by BeastWreck

Behold the ancient reptilian swamp-deity the Croc Lord. He captures water nymphs that inhabit his watery realm and drains them of their power to increase his own. This is just amazing artwork, which becomes even more mind blowing when you realise that only three colors are used. This is the power of the halftone when done by a master.

Available in both mens and womens

Balloons

Balloons from De Bellemort

 I love the crazy surreal aspect of this tee. Skulls as balloons has been done before but the fact that lots of different skulls (including some animal) have been used instead of repeating the same one sells this for me. It is from a French site whose name roughly translates as Lovely Death. Rather fitting I think.

Not Just For Xmas

Not Just For Xmas from I Came From Nothing

You can't change evil. The Grinch didn't suddenly come over with a bad case of sweetness and light, he got a dose of cunning and tricked the Whos. After luring them to his hovel he carved them up with a chainsaw. BWAHAHAHAHA.

Horsemen

Horsemen from Disturbia

This is awesome artwork, there is just no other way to say it. In fact I am not going to say anything else, just quote a song and show a bigger pic.

The Horsemen are drawing nearer
On the leather steeds they ride
They have come to take your life
On through the dead of night
With the four Horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and die

Time
Has taken it's toll on you
The lines that crack your face
Famine
Your body it has torn through
Withered in every place
Pestilence
For what you have had to endure
And what you have put others through
Death
Deliverance for you for sure
There is nothing you can do

Red Ring Of Death

Deaths Red Ring from Split Reason

All gamers know about the red ring of death and a lot have experienced it first hand. I admit that I have felt the urge to throw a Xbox 360 at the wall when it happened. It is an amazingly frustrating experience. I had to smile at this tee though. Taking the nickname literally just makes it funny. Now in my imagination there is a room full of hourglasses, watched over by the Grim Reaper of Xbox. It  sounds like something from a Terry Pratchett novel.

Death

Death by Edgar R. McCherly

It is so refreshing to see the Grim Reaper portrayed in such a cartoonish manner, yet this tee goes so much further than that. In this culture death has become something to be feared. It has become a taboo subject that we don't talk to our children about which in turn leads to the self reciprocating cycle. The fact is death is a part of life. I really like how that has been illustrated here. Even though the body is scared and trying to hold on, the spirit is very happy to be free.
