"Tired of the Tiger Face" - Design by Humans - Sept 30th



While drawn well, I think the idea behind this shirt is dumb. The designer was tired of seeing tiger faces on t-shirts, so he made a design of one getting punched. That's cool...I guess? It was also one of the top 10 finalists in the DBH 10k.

Available at Design by Humans for $15 until 3am EST and $20 any time after that


"Til Death We Sail" - Tee Fury - Sept 30th



I love sailboats and the traditional tattoo style of the drawing. My Dad taught me how to sail, so I think I'm gonna get one of these for him too. I also like that the guy's is on "natural" instead of white.

Available at Tee Fury for $9 until midnight EST

"Darth Tut" - Tee Fury - Sept 28th



Darth Vader and King Tut are now one person. Jimiyo is easily my favorite designer right now. Anything he touches turns to gold. He posted this design on his twitter a few weeks ago and I couldn't wait to see it printed. The day is here! Pick this up at Tee Fury today. You only have until midnight!

Available at Tee Fury for $9 until midnight EST

"NautasheLL" - Design by Humans - Sept 28th



I've always liked conch shells and this one looks especially cool drawn with pencil and watercolors. Never a fan of white shirts, but you gotta use white sometimes and this looks good with the white background.

Available for $15 at Design by Humans until 3am EST and $20 any time after that

"Democracy" - Tee Fury - Sept 26th



Great message on this shirt. I love the use of all the different letters. Not something I would wear, but still awesome.

"Deliver Me" - RIPT Apparel - Sept 25th



Love the colors and the silhouette of the tree but I'm not usually big on people silhouettes. and why is it always a kid in a swing?

Available for $10 at RIPT Apparel until 1am EST

"A Tale of Two Lovers" - Design by Humans - Sept 24th



The girl really seems to pop off the shirt. I like it. And the print looks like it came out really clear and takes up the entire front of the shirt which I always like.

Available at Design by Humans for $25

"Loudness" - Design by Humans - Sept 25th



Cool design. But it seems like the lightning bolts are gonna strike the boom box.

Available at Design by Humans for $18 until 3am EST and $25 any time after that

"Legendary Surger" - Design by Humans - Sept 24th



I like japanese style and culture, but this is kinda weird. Drawn really well, but not something I'd wear. This was one of the entries for the DBH 10k. I think it was in the top 20.

Available at Design by Humans for $15 for another 20 mins then it will be $20

"Parasites" - Tee Fury - Sept 24th



Though not his usual style, I still love this Wotto shirt. I've always loved silhouettes. I wish the guys shirt was on red though as I think it's looks much better. Makes the figures stand out a lot more. Still getting one though.

Available for $9 at Tee Fury until midnight EST

"Hyena Boy and Deaths LunchBox" - Design by Humans - Sept 22nd



Awesome design. The colors are great and it works perfectly on the taupe shirt. This is the kinda stuff that you will only find at Design by Humans.

Available for $18 until 3am EST and $25 any time after that

"Lion's Roar" - Tee Fury - Sept 21st



Not really doin it for me

Available at Tee Fury for $9 until midnight EST

"Birds of Prey" - Design by Humans - Sept 21st



Cool design. I especially like the use of halftones. Two complaints though: 1) the crown seems to be falling off the eagle's head. 2) what's with the diamonds?

Available at Design by Humans for $15 until 3am EST and $20 anytime after that



Lots of new posts at Ropeadope Radio. If you're looking for new music, this is the place to find it.

"Furyous Omnibus IV" - Tee Fury - Sept 21st



I love these shirts. Tee Fury's logo is a little birdy (you can see it on the right) and this is the 4th shirt they've done with different artists doing renditions of the bird to put together on one shirt. Collaborations are always fun and it's cool to see all the different birdies. I don't like white shirts, but I'm still getting it. I have every other one so I can't leave one out of the series!

Available for $9 at Tee Fury until midnight EST

"Revelations" - Design by Humans - Sept 17th



Amazing design by Jimiyo as usual. I don't usually like collage type designs with a lot of random things thrown together, but this is definitely an exception. Jimiyo has an original style and blends all the elements of the piece together seamlessly. Not sure how I feel about the burgundy shirt though. The design definitely looks good on that color, it's just not a color a lot of people would wear I think.

Available for $15 at Design by Humans until 3am EST and $20 any time after that

"What Leaf?" - Tee Fury - Sept 17th



Don't like video games shirts. Don't really like red shirts. No thanks. But yesterday was a grab bag at Tee Fury. Which means they sell random shirts for $5. I got 3! Hopefully I'll get some good ones.

"It isn't easy being plaid" - RIPT Apparel - Sept 14th



I usually don't like when an artist just takes something and makes it plaid or argyle but I'm liking this little froggy. The green keeps him looking realistic while the plaid adds a little something extea. And it looks good on the army green shirt.

Available for $10 until 1am EST at RIPT Apparel

"Electric Reverb" - Tee Fury - Sept 14th



I love music and the design is cool, but I don't think I'd ever wear a musical instrument on a shirt. I think it could also look better on a different color shirt. Seems a little too "sad" for the kind of design it is.

Available at Tee Fury for $9 until midnight EST

"Hieroglyphics" - Design by Humans - Sept 11th



I love Egyptian art and hieroglyphics, so naturally I love this design. I just wish it was on a yellow/gold shirt, which I think would be more fitting of the colors Egyptians used. Still looks good on orange though.

Available for $15 until 3am EST at Design by Humans and $20 any time after that

"There's So Much to Learn!" - Tee Fury - Sept 11th



Fun design, but not something I'd wear. I always loved the overhead projector when I was younger though. Especially when teachers did fun things with it. Like my geometry teacher had a little toy turtle he called "Terry the Turtle" who helped us learn geomerty on the overhead projector.

Available for $9 at Tee Fury until midnight EST

"Giant Spirit is Hungry" - Design by Humans - Sept 9th



Great choice DBH! Really like this style and the native american influence. And the colors all look great on the brown shirt. Probably gonna pick this up next time I order from DBH.

Mother IV - Tee Fury - Sept 9th



Another awesome design by Jimiyo. His detail and style is amazing. A lot of people are complaining about his "signature" on this design, but it doesn't bother me. I would probably buy it on a different color shirt, but I don't like white shirts!

Available for $9 at Tee Fury until midnight EST

"Bring Me Colors" - Design by Humans - Sept 8th



While these type of designs are definitely overdone, this shirt looks good. The rainbow against the black silhouettes against the white shirt makes everything stand out. I wouldn't wear this myself, but for someone unfamiliar with the online t-shirt world, this design is a nice change from your run of the mill mall store t-shirt.

Available for $15 until 3am EST at Design by Humans and $20 any time after that


"Sangha Roots" - RIPT Apparel - Sept 8th



I really like this style of design. The art is bold and meaningful without really using any detail. And the earthy colors of both the shirt and ink bring it all together. The style kinda reminds me of "Generic Ability", the first shirt I ever got from Design by Humans. (picture below)

"Sangha Roots" is available for $10 at RIPT Apparel until 1am EST

"Loki Eagle" - Tee Fury - Sept 8th



I like mirror image/symmetrical designs and I like the shield in the background that gives it a coat of arms kind of feel. Don't like white shirts though, really wish it was on another color.

Available for $9 at Tee Fury until midnight EST

"Urban Assault" - Design by Humans - Sept 7th



Cool design and placement, but not for me. I also only buy white shirts when I REALLY like the design. I was hoping for one the DBH 10k submissions, but I guess I'll have to wait some more :(

Available for $15 until 3am EST at Design by Hümans and $20 any time after that

Philadelphia Naked Bike Ride 2009

So this is where the "other stuff" comes in. No t-shirts. No music. Just lots of people riding bikes. In Philadelphia. Naked.





This guy decided to skateboard naked



old men never care about being naked in public



this girl was a little too happy about it. even had to take a picture of herself!

"Sound of Nature" - Tee Fury - Sept 7th





Love the idea of this design. Everything looks great; the birds, the colors, the music notes and staffs...except for one thing. The drumset. It would have been SO much better if the artist had used a more "natural" type of drum like a djembe drum or any kind of natural looking african drum. The drumset just looks out of place. But being that I'm a music lover and I play drums myself, I'm most likely gonna get this one.

"Serenity" - Tee Fury - Sept 6th



I was never into designs of girls on shirts. The placement is really weird as well. I just spent $75 on three new Design by Humans shirts anyway, so I need to save for the next good one at Tee Fury!

"Leo" - Tee Fury - Sept 5th



Of course there's another lion shirt after I said I rarely see lion shirts. Don't really like this one though. It's a good drawing but I don't like that the lion's mouth is wide open. I need to save some money anyway after buying some of the DBH 10k shirts.

Available for $9 at Tee Fury until midnight EST



I like trees and this looks like it could come out cool on the shirt. Should I get it? I have until Sunday.

Available for $15 at Teextile.com until Sunday

"Twilight Rain" - Design by Humans 2nd place in the DBH 10k - Sept 4th (even though it's posted on the 5th)



I have liked this design since I first saw it, but they printed it on navy :( Black would have been so much better. Thought it was going to win as it was ahead in votes for most of the contest.

Available at Design by Humans for $25
