Dances With Wolves

Dances With Wolves by Peter Kramar

The fact that this tee works even if you don't know the movie reference is testament to how good it is. The vintage style cartoon characters just look like they are having so much fun dancing away. It is a retro cool all over pattern print with a hidden parody. I wonder how long it would take people to connect the civil war soldiers, American Indians and wolves to the film.

Wolf Headdress

Wolf Headdress from Rook

Animal heads wearing a Native American style headdress are nothing new in the tshirt world but this one stands out for a couple of reasons. Firstly is the quality of the artwork. The pencil style illustration work on the face and feathers is superb. Secondly that green eye really pops against the monochromatic face. What I really like about it though is the intensity and fierceness of that snarl.

Spirit Dreams

Spirit Dreams from Qetza

There are a lot of tees out there with Native American inspired imagery yet this one really stands out from the pack. The incredible amount of detail in the artwork is just staggering, inviting you closer to take another look. You will keep seeing more things you missed. I think the use of blue ink is inspired. It looks like one of those incredible biro illustrations you see occasionally on the net and I really like that. It would be like walking around with a masterpiece on your chest.

Indian

Limited Edition Indian T-Shirt from Antique

I really love this limited edition tee from Antique. It jumped off the screen and really stood out amongst the other offerings. The artwork is so good that you don't realise that only black and white inks have been used. It makes amazing use of the red of the shirt to add splashes of color to the monochromatic artwork. The angle of the head and expression on the face could convey a range of emotions, leaving it up to the viewer to interpret.
