| Posted: 09 Apr 2010 12:56 PM PDT Here’s a great offer from Babble Tees (a t-shirt focused art collective based in Hennepin, IL.), I found it on this superb site called Fiverr.com where anyone and everyone in the world can get just about any online service or product you could imagine for $5 including postage (guess that’s to the USA and Canada though). I’ve bought a few links and a little bit of social marketing for my art already, so I know it’s worth it. But as you’d expect the first thing I searched when I got to Fiverr was, you guessed it, “T-Shirts”, and I came up with this blinding offer. Babbletees: I will make a print of your original drawing on a t-shirt and mail it to you for $5
There are plenty more at Fiverr.com including these… jonard12: I will make a TSHIRT Design for $5

| Posted: 09 Apr 2010 06:29 AM PDT I received a comment from Concrete Rocket the other day and thought I’d check out this Singapore-based freelance designer out, and I’m glad I did. CR offers up a fine selection of graphic tees, exuberantly designed and highly stylized tees that take a sly wry look at the world we live in. Taking influences from both traditional art and urban/street art Concrete Rocket’s style reminds me a little of graffiti artist Banksy from time to time, which is no bad thing! You can check out his store at www.ConcreteRocket.com where there are currently 7 shirts available for both men and women, reasonably priced at between $19.50 and $21 each. My favourites have to be the intriguingly titled Bouncing Off a Satellite T-Shirt and Balloon Man T-Shirt.
I love the style of these two tees, and the reference to American Gothic in the Bouncing Off a Satellite T-Shirt is a very cool touch. Whilst attempting to do a little research about Concrete Rocket I found more examples of their work at a rather intriguing artist’s collective called The New Standard, which as you’ve guessed by now Concrete Rocket is on their books. I couldn’t resist featuring a few fine examples from other artists at The New Standard. They make some rather bold statements of intent such as “New Standard is more than apparel, and more than an art movement….New Standard is art moving. New Standard has arrived.”. Fortunately the t-shirt art on offer, for the most part, definitely stands the test of scrutiny. Check these out: Le Chief T-Shirt
Hungry Like A Wolf T-Shirt Inspired by the classic Duran Duran track? Who knows, but love that style. Very Fairey! Great colours and a clean cut design. This shirt’s by artist and designer Leon Vault and is available in sizes S to XL for men for $28.
Tree of Hands T-Shirt
Beautiful woodcut style t-shirt design by highly talented illustrator Lydia Oritz. A beautiful olde-worlde look to this one, it probably has some deep spiritual meaning to it but I just like the style. Very Aboriginal art for a Manila-born American artist? Get The Tree of Hands Tee that’s unfortunately only available for the guys right now for $28 in all sizes here. Beautiful designs, the artists are top notch at TNS and the site reminds you that buying one of their tees will support an artist which is always a good thing. There’s some kind of CSS/Javascript pop-up that really annoys me though. It keeps making sure I know my cart is empty, not sure if that’s bad programming or a pushy sales technique, but it doesn’t work. Despite that one minor technical qualm I have a lot of hope for the future of The New Standard. Definitely a label to keep your eye on, and of course all the artists on their books, including Concrete Rocket, who are doing such sterling work! |
