Apsara

Apsara from Overseize

I am absolutely in love with this rendition of Apsara, the Hindu spirit of clouds and water. For starters the artwork is just magically detailed. I want to see one up close to study all the small details. There is a perfect balance between traditional elements and a modern style which gives it a uniqueness rarely seen on tees. The thing I like most though is how serene she looks. That is something we should all aspire to in our hectic modern lives.

Shark With Knives For Teeth

Shark With Knives For Teeth from Neva Safe

How do you make one of natures best killers even more threatening? You replace its teeth with knives, that's how. I like to imagine a James Bond style super villain doing this to protect his underwater lab. If you thought Jaws was scary now you have a real reason to wet your pants. I really like this tee as it is so different but sadly there is only one left and it is not in my size. Oh well, keep dreaming and add it to the denial files.

Jewels

Jewels from Electric Zombie

I had such a crush on Julie from Return of the Living Dead 3 as a teenager, so it was really cool to come across a tee featuring her and wow, what a tee. The artwork is superb, so lifelike as to be almost a photo. I am in love all over again. She truly is breaking hearts and piercing body parts.

Create Your Own Tees With Bleach

Unlike most vids that claim to be easy yet obviously take hours of work this one really is quick, cheap and easy. The only hard part is getting your stencils. I highly recommend that you check it out on youtube before trying it at home though as there are some technical details that you need to know before jumping in. You can read them under the vid.

For those more artistically minded have a look at the second vid. Although both use bleach that is where the similarity stops. This is a work in progress as the artist builds up shades with a brush. It is truly amazing.

That should give you all a few ideas to create your own one of a kind tees so get out there and get to it. I expect you all to be rocking them this weekend.

Crescent Moon

Crescent Moon by Jemini

I love discovering tshirts that go beyond the standard cliche. This man in the moon is a much more interesting character than usual. Here he resembles more of a street tough. The surface craters have become skin pockmarks, a feather hangs from his pierced ear and smoke drifts around his head from the cigarette between his lips. The alcohol bottles tied to his bottom tip by a rag rope gives a down on his luck sense to the story. It is a really well drawn illustration with lots of detail. I really like how the smoke doubles as clouds and balances the whole artwork.

Killing Time

Killing Time from Orcus

I have to admit that I haven't come across too many comics on tees. Weirdly the few that I have seen have all been colored. The stark black and white simplicity of this one really appeals to me in a way the others didn't. I think it may have connected to my inner child that still remembers reading comics, the unique smell of cheap paper and ink permeating the air.

Poseidon

Poseidon from Seventh Ink

I have to apologise. I thought that I had posted this tee ages ago yet I just realised that I hadn't. Unfortunately it is nearly sold out now with just a few left in mens large size. Therefore I am adding this one to the denial files.
