Green grass. An urban oasis. This tee started off life as a collection of photos intended to become a mosaic of urban ‘furniture’. with simply the word ‘Urban’. The type was always going to be filled with some sort of texture, but an old picture of green grass I had from England seemed to fit rather well. The original idea then went out the window and this became Urban Oasis. Funny how these things happen 🙂
Can you recognise any buildings?
Everyone loves Sin City – Las Vegas! You know that gambling’s bad but the place is just so much fun!
The global financial crisis is hitting hard everywhere – including Las Vegas, but you know the funseekers will be back as soon as they feel rich enough.
Welcome to Las Vegas, as the economy of gambling salvages Nevada.
Global warming’s no laughing matter if you’re an arctic dweller like these guys.
You can of course just kick back and watch TV like the rest of the planet and try to forget about the whole thing 🙂
There’s a really nice style to this vector design as it conveys the (more serious) message in a really friendly and fun way.
There’s some nice details too, like the beach ball for a pillow, the killer whale popping up through an ice hole, and the very effective typography merged in with the ice.

I love simple and effective – oh and if you combine it with industrial ‘stuff’, then further bonus points.
Natalie Tyler’s got a great eye for typography and shows it here with a really cool homage to the poor unloved electricity pylon.
Study the letters for a moment…
Just don’t try and climb them to get your kite back (like the ‘scare’ films they used to show in schools in the seventies)
Cue opening music…
It is a dark time for the rebel bowlers. Although their consistent scoring has weakoned the Empire’s resolve, Imperial players have achieved spares to stay in contention.
Evading the dreaded Empire Strike, a group of bowlers led by Duke Lanewalker has established a new high score on the remote neon-lit lane 16.
The evil Lord Swerver, obsessed with beating young Lanewalker, has dispatched the death star bowling ball, scattering skittles into the far reaches of space…
There are times that you’d rather not say what you’re feeling or thinking. Enter the amazing ‘Care Factor‘ gauge.
It’s specially designed to speak volumes when you speaking is probably not the best idea.
Escapism can mean different things to different people. This fantastic design by Scott Robinson is just a great example of a strong concept executed with great style and precision.
The line work on this tee is nothing short of beautiful, and the halftoned trees in the background frame the image perfectly.
This is a design you can stare into and just drift away.
James Bond’s driven lots of cool cars, but the Aston’s and the BMW’s don’t come close to what this 1976 Lotus Esprit could do.
It’ s now available for sale very cheaply as petrol prices are rising and cars fitted with weaponry aren’t in fashion right now.
It comes with lots of extras as you’d expect, but due to slight water damage offers will be considered.

There’s millions of Star Wars T-Shirts on the web, and even more with some inspiration from the style or characters from the films.
I really like this one from GaffaUK because it’s not trying to be a massively detailed technical masterpiece, it’s trying to pack in a whole film into a single colour ‘infographic’ style design.
Just keep looking and you’ll find more and more scenes you remember. Can you recognise them all?
A Reel to reel tape deck isn’t something that most kids would even recognise these days.
Most have grown up in an age where the ‘compact’ cassette tape was outdated.
So, to provide a retro history lesson I present the ‘Reel Vintage Tape Deck’, a vector design complete with knobs and switches you have to actually ‘move’ in order to get things to happen. If you can work this baby without getting wrapped up like a mummy you’re doing well.
The tape counter’s permanently stuck on 1974, which is coincidentally when this ‘vintage’ model is from.
This tee design also placed second in a music challenge in the Redbubble Retro Tees group.
I’m a creative geek living in Melbourne, Australia who writes software by day, and creates T-shirts and other designs by night. This is all of course when time and motivation allows.
It’s probably accurate to say I dabble in things other than software to keep my creative side happy. I was always a keen musician (guitar, drums and keyboards) but am now happy to dream of the ‘greatness’ I never achieved. I may surprise myself yet… I might also get round to finishing my list of gig attendances one day.
I like to take pictures of things that interest me, and am becoming and increasingly keen photographer.
I occasionally write technical articles, produce the odd bit of freeware, and record technical thoughts on my Codebureau blog. Anything left may end up on this blog – but that’s rapidly turning into my world of T-Shirts!
