In a previous post I said that Cafepress told me they would give some answers to the burning questions you had about Infinistitch. The answers finally came today but unfortunately most of them were “We can’t tell you”. Here is the body of the email I received: The InfiniStitch technology is a new and patent pending – thus the exact… Read more →
Our friends over at Zazzlr brought brought this incident to our attention. It seems that 30 year old, Brad Jayakody, an IT professional was told to change out of his “gun-arm” toting Transformers T-Shirt or he wouldn’t be allowed board the plane. (See original article) Furthermore if he changed back into it he was told he would be arrested. How… Read more →
Our two t-shirts (Attack 77 and F.A.C.E.S.) finally arrived from Design by Humans a few days ago. They were ordered on May 10th and shipped using the deceptively named Priority Shipping and arrived on May 28th. Shipping from the US to Japan for 2 t-shirts was only $6.13 so I am definitely not complaining. The packaging they arrived in was… Read more →
For those who don’t know, deadhippo, along with Rude Retro is one of my pseudonyms. Just for fun, I submitted one of my designs to springleap, another competition based t-shirt store. So, if you are a member please go over and leave a comment and rate my design. If you are not a member you can always join. It’s very… Read more →
Uneetee is a pretty famous t-shirt store but reasonably new I believe. It has a similar business model to Threadless and Design by Humans. People submit designs and they are voted on/chosen and the designer gets money. I will provide details in a later post. Today I ordered two shirts which I will review when I get them. You can… Read more →
For those of you who don’t know that POD company Zazzle is more than a t-shirt vendor (much more by the way) you will be surprised to hear that they received an award from the United States Service for…well, it was put so succinctly on the Zazzle blog that I will just post the important excerpt here: Zazzle was recognized… Read more →
There is a very cool interview with Cafepress on MSNBC discussing political merchandise which you can check out just below. Political t-shirts and bumper stickers are clearly big business but you probably didn’t know that boxer shorts and thongs featuring presidential candidates are also taking off (trying out vague pun). According to Cafepress, while Hillary Clinton is winning the boxer… Read more →
Uneetee are having a great sale at the moment where all t-shirts are just $13 and they have some very cool t-shirts too. Check them out. Below are two of my favorites. Uneetee is a competition based site which I will talk about in a later post. For now, just get over there before June 1st and get yourself a… Read more →
There are two fantastic new shirts at Design by Humans at the moment. Recently Threadless and some other t-shirt companies have started selling posters/prints of their t-shirt art (See here and here). I don’t want to judge them but they are not something I would put on my wall. On the other hand if either of these two t-shirts were… Read more →
My two favorites of the new Threadless t-shirts have a similar theme. They both involve relationships between animals that have no real business being together. The first (a reprint) is spotted cow and a chicken standing over their spotted egg. What is it about cartoon animals that makes them so appealing? The design of these animals is totally non-realistic with… Read more →
