Playtime - T-Shirt by Hammo
Some people do great vector designs, some people do great illustration with more ‘paint’ techniques. Some do great ‘comic’ style.
This t-shirt by Redbubble newcomer Hammo pulls all of those together amazingly well. Not only is the idea great, the characters are just so well drawn and styled. I’d almost go as far as to say – for what it is – it’s perfect.
Qwitter - T-Shirt by Warren Hart
Everyone’s obsessed by Twitter at the moment, and whether you’re into it or not, this is design by Warren Hart is a rather fun statement to make.
There’s nothing like a cross for an eye to convey ‘dead’, and this little birdy’s gone up to the social network in the sky.

Times New Roman and Helvetica Envy - Font T-Shirts
Helvetica punches above its weight for a simple rounded sans-serif font.
Arial (originally Sonoran Sans Serif) was made popular by Microsoft through packaging with Windows, and is often seen as a ubiquitous equivalent to Helvetica.
‘Equivalent’ is rather a subjective word in this case and for some it’s easy to spot the differences between the fonts. Arial could be said to have ‘Helvetica envy’.
Meanwhile poor old ‘Times New Roman’ is now languishing into relative obscurity based more on the fact it’s an older style serif font. The ‘new’ is therefore something that people now gloss over (new in 1931).
These two designs are just a small celebration of how the world loves Helvetica.

Home Improvement - MC Escher T-Shirt by Zomboy
MC Escher is an inspiration to countless creative people, partly for the genius in the detail, but also for the mathematical somersaults your mind does when you look at one of his images.
Zomboy produces some amazing designs, and this Escher ‘Relativity’ inspired vector shirt is also a stroke of genius. The limited colours just bring out the detail amazingly well, with the shapes and angles being pixel perfect.
The added bonus with this design is that each decorator is painting with revolutionary transparent paint, so choose your shirt colour (from the 20+ colours in the Redbubble pallette) and that’s what colour they’ll be painting. You’ll be a designer too!
