Concrete Hermit are launching their new line, and the new designs are brilliant as usual.
Here are a selected few:
Are you ready for the church-grrl-fresh-christian-urban-music-scene-in-Memphis revolution?
Paid in Full apparel present an intriguing idea: Christian themed line of T-shirts to the throughly secular world of T-shirt design. The t-shirts are supposed to serve as “conversation starters”. Well, I walked around with the “King of Kings, Lords of Lords” T-shirt in the Jewish streets of Israel for an entire day and t-shirt didn’t get any notice – neither conversation or a conversion. My guess is that the idea would work better in a college campus, anytown, USA than around here, where it has a hollow ring to it. The designs are, as stated in the website text, professional and trendy, always with an artistic edge. And while their catalog is still limited, it seems to grow by the week. All Tees are available at very limited quantities and are now on sale for $16 (regularly $18).
Some of the designs:
Pretty much the only passable District 9 t-shirts I could find. Very bentonesque in its look.
Update: another passable district 9 shirt. Check it out here.

Another inspired District 9 Shirt:
Consider this part 2 of my mini-series on noteworthy newcomers to the t-shirt block, and this time – Arka Clothing. While their collection is still limited, the presented shirts are an exercise in good taste. Almost every shirt on Arka features an underlying theme of nonsensical playfulness.
Usually, t-shirts like that are getting outflanked in favor of designs with a clearer statement, but that mode of thinking and judging feels more and more wrong to me – Arka’s t-shirts are beautiful, full of color and smooth execution.
The t-shirts themselves are of the highest quality, plus, they are one of the only apparel companies in the world that only print with non-toxic (non-formaldehyde) ink.
Take a look at Arka’s designs:
I’ve recently had the chance to get acquainted with a new comer to the T-shirt block, Collect London. Despite being relatively new, Collect London already offers an extensive collection of T-shirts – from plain, to patterned and printed Tees. It seems that beautiful designs and their actual transformation into wearable art comes easily to Collect –The designs range on serious, possibly over-ambitious topics. From the state of hip hop in “Harlem” by Louisa Todd (but giving it much more than the cliché treatment I expected) to, domestic abuse in Russia in “Rag Doll”. The texts backing up the shirts are generally on a bleak tone, but the shirts themselves border on aesthetic brilliance, regardless of their message, and will command the attention of any viewer by being engaging and acute.
So let’s be clear: they’ve got a new fan.
Three of my favorite shirts:
As can be seen, the designs are offered on a wide variety of shirts – Relaxed fit, regular fit, slim fit and so on. Buy it here.
Lately, I’ve been lurking at a bit at Finroo and stumbled across John Fitzpatrick’s T-shirt Designs, which I want to share with you. As a designer, Fitzpatrick has that single inestimable virtue: having seen a design of him once, you admit to yourself, almost with a sigh, that you will have to peep everything that he designed. At a time that t-shirt design has been a slogan war, Fitzpatrick reminds you that a designer can, in its junior way, produce something of a work of art, or at least a worthy vehicle for the play of ideas, feeling, aesthetics and wits.
Here are some of his T-shirts:
On a different subject:
Well, I’ve seen a couple of his prints on actual t-shirts, and they look frickin’ excellent. But those T-shirts have sold out, leaving us with just the designs, so if you’re a store who wants to pick these (frickin’ excellent, may i remind you) designs up, contact the guy at tabooplus at gmail.com.
a small sample:
