5 designs I dig @ Bountee

Autumn is here and so is my love for good t-designs.

Here are five t-shirts on my Bountee wishlist:


The Whatever t-shirt. The colors are pretty and the amount of indifference is just about right.


The stunningly gorgeous Face off. So many faces, so many things to like about this design.


Who wouldn't like to be friends with these guys?


Do I really have to spell it out? D.A.N.C.E.!


Monstrosities. Yeeeee!!!

Pssssstt...



Don't tell anyone, but I'm back just to let you know that The Ultimate T-shirt finally got printed at Design By Humans :-) A big thank you to Joe, for giving me the heads up about it. Congrats to the designer, Olly Moss.

And that's not all...



Bow Master also got the votes! Thanks to all the humans that made it possible ;-) I'll be buying these tees really soon.

Please, Threadless, reprint it



The Bright Lights, by Phil Wheel, another t-shirt I would like to see reprinted by Threadless. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

5 designs I love at Design By Humans

Okay, I didn't quite like Robot Attack, but I thought Design By Humans deserved a second chance, so I decided to check out their latest design submissions. And I was pleasant surprised to find pretty nifty stuff in there, despite my initial doubts about their ability to attract good designs. Here are 5 designs I absolutely loved and voted for. Don't forget these t-shirts still don't exist,  so don't forget to vote (teeocracy..).



#1 - The Ultimate T-shirt

This was my first idea for the header of Teelovers, a design that synthesized almost all of the most iconic t-shirts and tendencies. The problem was and is, I'm not a designer, so it never left the drawing board (thankfully, Isa was around and agreed to design Teelovers).

Anyway, here's the description of the shirt: "Irony, nostalgia, skulls, robots, 45 degree arrows, Che and a smoking unicorn wearing aviators - this tee has it all."

That's why you are bound to like it. The design is called The Ultimate T-shirt and it needs your vote to get printed. If you like it (how can't you? seriously?) go for it.

Oh, look, it even has a "Vote for Pedro" in it... oh, I think I might be in love with this t-shirt...

(Joe, it has a robot too!)




#2 - My Hood

This one is My Hood and features a bunch of strange but cute creatures. I like everything about this design. It even gets the background color right.



#3 - Crayola Disparity

I don't know if I qualify as a "sophisticated surrealist", but if wearing this t-shirt turns me into one, I'm definitely having it :P



#4 - 3-D! Lightning storm

It's 3-D, people! How much cooler can it get?

4-D?

(it even comes packaged with a pair of Design By Humans branded 3D glasses for "extra awesomeness!" Yeah!)



#5 - Bow Master

You can always spot an awesome design at first sight. This is it.

A new 'thing' on TeeLovers: Begging


This is a new thing I'm starting on TeeLovers, a whole section dedicated to those Threadless designs I don't have, are out of stock and that I'm beggin' Threadless to reprint (you can see how desperate I am..). You never know, they might be reading.

So, for my first request/wish, the awesome Phascolarctos Cinereus, designed by Ross Zietz and one of the coolest t-shirts on Threadless (even the New York Times liked it).

Threadlessiens, if you are reading this, please reprint Phascolarctos Cinereus, a.k.a. the koala shirt.

Bountee suggestions



T-shirts on Bountee are 50% off until midnight today (the gift code is "bonitas") and just in case you don't know where to start, here are two suggestions. The one on the left is the aarrrggghhhhhhh t-shirt (partially inspired on the Domo-Kun tee, but cool nonetheless) and the other is the d.a.n.c.e t-shirt.

Yes, save the tape!



This is the latest entry to my tee-wishlist. This tee is from Concrete Hermit and sells for £25 ($49). Again, it's too expensive for me, but it would make a great addition to my t-shirt drawer.  I'm a sucker for techno-nostalgia.

Threadless-watch: Snake on a shirt



This is Snake on a tshirt, which Sa' d Khorsid submitted to Threadless two months ago. The design was scored a mere 2.40 out of 5 points by more than 2000 people, who left a total of 55 comments. I just can't understand how this amazing tee wasn't voted for printing by the Threadless masses. It's been on my wishlist since the first day I saw it. Oh, teeocracy, you disappoint me.

Red White and Glue



Seen this one on Shirtlog.com, and I really dig it. Great design. The best of all is that it's on sale for 30% off.

The Psy-shirt



This tee by French designer Rachel Plefger has to be one of the best tees ever. A simple but clever design, with an ambigram, "a word that can be read from a variety of angles". When you put it in front of the mirror you see the opposite feeling to love or hate. I really crave this t-shirt, specially the black version, but it's Epuisé at made in design. French for sold out.

about
TeeLovers is a blog about t-shirts made by people with a thing for short sleeve.
So why all the love? As Melissa Campbell put it, "it's a simple cotton garment, but it encapsulates sex, politics, high art and street style." And because there's no stronger statement than the one you wear on your chest.
