I spotted this awesome design on Olly Moss' site a couple of months ago, and am happy to say that it is now available for sale from Go Ape. Also, check out Olly's impressive collection of tshirt designs and excellent work for Threadless.

Reconstructed

Ok, so apologies to anyone who has stopped by in the last couple of days to check out fresh new stuff and has encountered only three day old, stale stuff. I've been in hospital for a couple of days getting my knee reconstructed and enjoying the porridge... But I'm back in front of the computer now and will of course be on the look out for new awesomeness.

A.M.P. Street have been emailing me for a while, and to be honest I have found some of their stuff a tad on the boring side. Lately however, they have been releasing more and more completely awesome shirts, with a real "street-art" feel to them and a really good illustrative style.

Straight out of Bangkok, A.M.P. Street release a range of streetwear in limited editions and have a very "hands-on" philosphy. They even have an inhouse tattoo studio in their retail store.

Definitely a label heading in the right direction, and one to keep an eye on.

Man, I wish I had've kept going with the German lessons at school. Then I'd be able to understand what's going on at A Better Tomorrow - and perhaps order a thing or two. The site is pretty big, with stuff from a big range of labels, as well as A Better Tomorrow's own line (pictured), comprised of design competition winners and contributions from guest artists such as Koa (bottom). I think ;)

GAMA-GO Yeti Cannons


GAMA-GO release awesome new stuff constantly and I'd have no chance keeping up with it all, but I do particularly like this sweet design called Yeti Cannons. Their bags, wallets and jackets are also worth a look.

Escape Escape

There are so many musical genres (and sub-genres) these days. What happened to the days when it was just punk or hip-hop, just rock or disco?

My friend Josh is a great designer and also the lead singer of neo-awesome, transient new-wave, post-modern pop-punk band Escape Escape. He just set up a Red Bubble store for their tshirts which he created.

Check out their tshirts here and their music here. I don't like genres - just listen to it and give it your own label.

Threadless Picks

Away From Home t-shirt - Threadless
Runnin' Rhino t-shirt - Threadless
Piggy Bank Heist t-shirt - Threadless
Great new releases this week at Threadless, with my favourite this week being the Threadless Select release Away From Home (top) by Ryan Lin (who coincidently was a competition winner last week). The space colonisation themed shirt glows in the dark and looks pretty flippin' cool.

Other standout winners include Runnin' Rhino (middle) by Allan Faustino and Piggy Bank Heist (bottom) by Jason LaRose.

And don't forget, you can get $3 off your order by clicking here and using the coupon code rubberdanpants at the checkout.

Lifelounge 22 Flavours

Lifelounge 22 flavours t-shirts
Lifelounge has launched the 22 Flavours project, utilising the skills of the "who's who" of the art and design world to create a stunning range of limited edition tees. 22 artists were each given a flavour as a theme and the results are fantastic. Even more impressive is that proceeds from the sale are being donated to help the homeless. There is only 22 of each design printed, so if you want one be quick - they may sell out as fast as Rage Against The Machine tickets.

YWFT Limited Edition Tees

Pie in the Sky t-shirt by You Work For Them
As mentioned a little while ago, YWFT are in the process of releasing a range of new shirts. The two that I wrote about earlier are now available, along with this number entitled Pie in the Sky. All are printed on American Apparel and are a limited edition of 70.

Shirt.Woot!

DBT shirt.woot entry
Shirt.Woot! is a pretty unique site that sells a different shirt design everyday. Shirts are still available after the first day (if not sold out) but the price goes up. They also have a design competition and a really good community. Click here to check out my entry (pictured at bottom), and if you have bought from any of the woot sites before you can vote for it if you like it :)
