Shirt Trends - O.J. Simpson

  • Nov 26, 2006
  • Post a comment

With all the brouhaha about FOX optioning OJ Simpson's book and the interview with him, then canceling the two for the reason of it being, "an ill-advised project" (duh), I thought, I showcase some O.J.-related shirts.

Some say distasteful but I say topical.

This out-of-print shirt from DURKL just calls it like it is.

Besides knives, O.J. is also versatile with firearms.

NoiseBot offers a public service announcement to switch from oranges to apples. At NoiseBot's site, you have a wide-ranging choices for color.

Um, that's all right... I think it's best if I don't know how you would kill O.J. Plausibility deniability and all that.

And no, I'm gonna buy your book on how you would "supposedly" kill him either.

You know what else is loose? My bowels.

I was looking into Child's Play (donate, damn you!) and I came across Huzzah Goods. They sell gamer-oriented shirts like a cross-section of your old school Nintendo controller.

Each shirt you buy from them, 10% goes to Child's Play.

Think about that. You get to look gamer chic and not be a heartless bastard.

John Van Hamersveld designed many iconic pop art during the sixties and seventies, which if you do remember the time, you weren't really there.

Worn Free hosts many of the art Hamersveld created for music legends like Frank Zappa (Radio Clyde 261) and Debbie Harry (Camp Funtime)

There's also Hamersveld's Native American that started out as a humble poster, then turned into a gig poster for Jefferson Airplane and finally an iconic shirt we know and love.

Terratag, who has a fetish for mecha, also designed the logo for the Ghost in the Shell series antagonist "The Laughing Man."

Unlike previous t-shirts that were produced with an iron-on, tees from Terratag comes as a flock transfer.

Not much is known about Lucha Workshop but they have really beautiful hand drawn designs like the battleship shirt. None of that vector art we see these days, we're talking old school, people! Old. School.

Monster T-Shirt
Monster T-Shirt
I stumbled onto a random photo in flickr and I came upon this t-shirt. It's sort of reminiscent of tiki art. Those eyes that seem to mesmerize you or maybe sear through you... scrutinizing your soul... YOUR SOUL!!!

And it compels... do you hear it compelling you... to purchase it from Rik Catlow, an urban pop artist, having lived near New York where he soaked up all the inspiration. You can buy his original artwork as well.

Monies: US$18

note: there are limited sizes left. Feel free to pester Catlow to print out more shirts.

Shirt Trends - Ribcage

  • Nov 6, 2006
  • Post a comment

Welcome back to another installments of shirt trends, where I spend my free time tabulating shirt designs that follow a similar theme. This time, we'll delve into the ribcage motif. It's interesting to see an anatomical design on a shirt. The idea of wearing something your skin keeps in just blows my mind.

The Misfits
The Misfits


Some say the Misfits popularized the ribcage on a tee concept.

Waffo
Waffo


Waffo has one that is similar to The Misfits but theirs have a pelvis. Take that aging rockers!

Rib Cage

Smell Your Mum is a rude little site. A little like Hot Topic but harder. They sell ribcage shirts because it's hardcore. Like freebasing.

Rib Tickler

On the other hand Lazy Oaf showcase their own brand of hardness by printing their ribcage... in pink. Take that hardcore!

Caged

Frank Barbara ups the ante by including a canary within the confines of the rib cage. It's very poetic but also very difficult to bring down a mineshaft.

Bones

But it's always bes to return to the basics. Take the progenitor of the anatomical tee. The artist, Dr. Arwin Being a medical illustrator and anatomist, Dr. Leslie Arwin assures all drawings are 100% legit. Take that Henry Gray!
