If you haven’t heard of Jimiyo yet, then you must be new to the scene. The guy has been a t-shirt designing pioneer for quite some time now. He started out winning t-shirt design competitions on the regular and parlayed that into employment for TeeFury/Design By Humans as their art curator. In short, when Jimiyo speaks….we all listen. He recently created a post at Emptees titled “ How I Made $7500 in 3 Months With My Art ”... 

Andy at Hide Your Arms has come up with a novel idea to earn some spare dough. He is taking all of his Threadless street team points and converting those into gift certificates to sell for some cold hard digital cash. I see that I’m a little late to the party for when he announced this because he has already sold out. However, you can join the mailing list to be notified when he stocks back up. I’m gonna bet that won’t be too... 

Everyone likes a good luchador. Everyone LOVES a good luchagore. What is that you ask? It is when you gore up a Mexican wrestling champion. If you are still having a tough time imagining what that looks like…. DerekDeal made one hell of an illustration for Electric Zombie to show you exactly what that looks like: I would directly link to this shirt but the URL’s at Buy Electric Zombie are generic for everything in the store.  Read More →

Christian San Jose is one heck of a designer hailing from the Philippines. You have probably seen his work before on the various t-shirt design sites.

If you remember, he won that bad boy with a design called Mecha Labaw . Here is the design as a reminder: Recently Vectortuts interviewed Christian to see what makes...

Let me just warn you up front. The reason the T Addict is writing about 8-Bit Zombie is because I was first blown away by the foam trucker hats they’ve created. But since that seems almost sacrilegious for the T Addict to write an exclusive post about hats…8-Bit Zombie does have one t-shirt that I can write about first. The premise behind 8-Bit Zombie is the throwback reference to the original gaming systems with 8-bit graphics....

He was recently interviewed by Vectortuts and they give us an inside peek into his design process. Typically... 

Unless you live in a cave in Afghanistan you have either seen or heard of MTV’s latest reality show – Jersey Shore . It follows a group of friends from New Jersey living in one house and partying together all the time. There are certain features about them that are undeniable including but not limited to being overly tan, overly muscular, and overly over the top. If you have seen the show, then you will love this video from Funny or... 

Flymouse365 just released a new shirt that the T Addict had to write about. Check it out: I admit I’m a sucker for these types of life playing out on two levels shirts. With antlers like that it would truly be a terrifying experience all around to see this fellow in your headlights. It’s printed on an American Apparel shirt and is only available for the next seven days so snap it up while you can before it becomes an endangered species.... 

The latest addition to the Fuzzy Ink family is “ I Am The Walrus ” and yes my friend….you are the walrus. This shirt is an absolute showstopper. The walrus is an extremely regal character but yet he can still rock the trendy urban jacket with a plaid button-down underneath. He’s not formal but certainly could be. I’ll bet he even brushes that mustache after he shines those tusks. Damn fine Walrus… the T Addict...
