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.

Slices Of Wolf

Slices Of Wolf by Nicolas Barrome

I am not sure how to describe this. It is quirky, surreal and has a touch of humor. I really like the slice in the wolf's forehead revealing a pea for a brain. The style of the illustration, with the crossed eyes and tongue poking out, turn what should be a macarbe scene into something almost cute. There is something about this that appeals to me at a deep level and that is what art is all about.

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.

Ninja Red Riding Hood

Ninja Red Riding Hood by qetza

I have to apologise as I didn't let you know about this tee quickly enough. I saw it as a tee of the day over at GoodJoe and now, just 7 days later it is no longer available. Guess it has sold out. Hopefully it will be reprinted but for now we can just add it to the denial file.

The Day The Saucers Came, Issue 2, Vol. 6

The Day The Saucers Came, Issue 2, Vol. 6 by Ben Templesmith

The concept behind this tee is amazingly cool. In fact there are four shirts, each by a different artist. Inspired by a poem by Neil Gaiman, each tee tells a different portion of the story. For those interested the portion of the poem for this one is;

Front:
On the saucer day, which was the zombie day, it was
Ragnarok also, and the television screens showed us
A ship built of dead-man's nails, a serpent, a wolf,
All bigger than the mind could hold, and the cameraman could
Not get far enough away, and then the Gods came out
But you did not see them coming because

Back:
On the saucer-zombie-battling gods day, the floodgates broke
And each of us was engulfed by genies and sprites
Offering us wishes and wonders and eternities
And charm and cleverness and true brave hearts and pots of gold
While giants feefofummed across the land, and killer bees,
But you had no idea of any of this because

Serpentine

Serpentine from Glorious Nightmare

This is a special release tee to celebrate Glorious Nightmare's 1st Anniversary and they are flying off the shelves. Not surprising when the artwork is this good. I really love the almost Japanese style wolf she is petting. It is something really different, as the the scale like texture on the woman's skin. Little touches like that make this a stand out amid a sea of similar themed shirts.
