Surfing King Neptune

King Neptune from Livin Over Board

You could view this as either the Roman God Neptune, or the Greek God Poseidon as both are deities of water and were portrayed in very similar ways in antiquity. It seems only natural that he would be brilliant at water sports and would be able to really carve up the waves on a surfboard.

Ganesha

Ganesha by Corey Courts

Ganesha is one of the most widely recognised and worshiped deities of the Hindu faith. Therefore it does not come as a great surprise to realise that there are a lot of tshirts around that feature him. This one sets itself apart purely by the fantastic artwork. It becomes even more amazing when you find out the artist is self taught. There is just no substitute for natural talent.

Inframundo

Inframundo from Twin Srpnt

The story of Hades the God of the underworld is so old that I find it quite exciting to see something new done with the artwork depicting it. In this case Hades is actually depicted as the underworld itself. The hair on top of his head morphs into an unforgiving landscape of twisted trees, mountains, a volcano and a huge tidal wave. The splits in the face show other levels with the skeletons of the dead, each one in a different pose. It is an amazingly crazy and detailed piece of artwork, the sort of thing you would usually find on a poster.

Typhon

Typhon from Twin Srpnt


Typhon was destroying cities and hurling mountains in a fit of rage. During his burst of outrage, the gods of Olympus fled to their home. Zeus stood firm, and the battle raged, ending when Typhon tore up Mount Etna to hurl at the gods and that's when Zeus aimed thunderbolts and the mountain fell on top of Typhon, trapping him to this very day erupting lava, fire and smoke through the top of the mountain. Typhon is believed to be the reason of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and typhoons.

*Note: It's Typhon not Typhoon.

Poseidon

Poseidon from Protest The Hero

The Greek God of the sea has never looked this good. The illustration work is just amazing. In fact I was so blown away I went surfing the net to find out more about it. This is the work of the legendary Dan Mumford, a name well known to those in the t shirt world. I don't know how I hadn't come across this one before but I am certainly glad I found it. I actually found a larger picture where you could see the details better but now I can't find it again, sorry.

Atlas

Corelia Exclusive from Venus Fallen

While this tee is inspired by the story of Atlas the artwork is quite different to the norm. The usual images show Atlas holding up a round Earth, which is wrong. When the story was written people believed that the world was flat. I really like this tee for the fact that they have portrayed it that way yet given it a modern, mystical feel with the colorful nebulae as a background. It is like a clash of old and new.

Daphne & Apollo

Daphne & Apollo by Adam Rosenlund

This tee is a representation of the story of Daphne and Apollo. For those that don't know the story Apollo is a god and Daphne is his first love. She was an independent huntress who didn't want to get married. Apollo saw her in the woods and fell in love. She was not interested and ran away. Being a horny old goat he chased her. Nearing the river near her home she pleaded for help and was transformed into a tree.

Yep, crazy story but really cool tee.
