04/18/2014 Top 3 Pick; Ack Ack Ack

“Even in a time of intergalactic crisis, people still want to roll them bones.” It looks like we have the Martian of Doves card! I can imagine the Martians taking over Vegas and living it up with these uniquely alien playing cards. I love the blues, greens, and reds used in the alien brains and the nice shine on the head-gear. Interesting, undulating lines and decorative frame used as a background.

Thank You Buzatron

04/18/2014 Top 3 Pick; Coldest Planet in the Galaxy

“And I thought they smelled bad on the outside“. A clever mash-up of the ICEE brand and the ice planet from Star Wars, Hoth. Very nice thick lined illustration of tauntaun keeping warm in a cute sweater. The chilled lettering and nice striped block color background nicely conveys the frosty beverage and destination.

Thank You BeastPop

04/18/2014 Top 3 Pick; The Curse of the Care Were

Watch out for this Tenderheart Bear, especially when the Care moon is full! Interesting juxtaposition of the bright, happy colors to the muscular and fierce werewolf. Wonderful illustration of this bright pink creature that looks like he just ripped off his clothes. I enjoy the smiling sun next to the figure’s big long teeth. You can’t help but smile at this shirt!

04/17/14 Top 3 Pick; MALEFICO’S – WICKED FLAVOR IN EACH BITE!

Recommended for ages 16 and up! No one can resist the mistress of all evil! Maleficent is not responsible for any death, injury, coma, or true love you may incur. Being a sucker for typography, I enjoy the wide, evil horned shaped letter forms. The bright purples,greens, and yellows with the skull in the bottom center gives these design the appearance of poison. The figure’s face and the winding vines in the background are a luring and enthralling.

Thank You GillesBone

04/17/14 Top 3 Pick; Freedom

“Booker, are you afraid of God?” “No. But I’m afraid of you.” Here we have Elizabeth, the damsel not quite in distress. This design depicts many elements of Bioshock Infinite in which Elizabeth takes control. We see the tables have turned on her jailor, Songbird. In the background, one of Elizabeth’s tears is open to Paris and is also foreshadowed by the Eiffel Tower in the foreground. Keen observers may even notice the Return of the Jedi on the theater marquee! This is an interesting circular composition in which the main figure appears to sit on a pedestal. Wonderful purple blue hues to show the tear effect. That should be interesting to see with a spot gloss, perhaps giving the design dimension. Elizabeth’s face is looking up and away. It carries emotion and makes her seem pensive or reflecting.

Thank You Mark Dos Santos

04/17/14 Top 3 Pick; A Robot’s Impression

I think this design is entirely original, but if it’s referencing something, please let me know! I highly enjoy the color palette used in this design. The wonderful striation of the long thin stokes gives the effect of rain coming down. The rain nicely defines the figure in the scene. The neon colors reflected in the rain are nicely balanced throughout the design. The negative space figures in the bottom foreground are wonderful and create a nice transition from design to shirt.

04/16/14 Top 3 Pick; The Chewsade

Hilarious mash-up of Indiana Jones and Star Wars. Han and Chewie are portraying Indiana and his father, Henry Jones. Something tells me Sean Connery would not be amused to be portrayed as the hairy wookie! Lots of interesting textures. Wookie fur flying in the wind. Scruffy Han in a fedora. Descriptive rough and distressed texture on the vehicle and side cart. I enjoy the brown and green color palette.

Thank You Leon Ryan

04/16/14 Top 3 Pick; By Royal Decree

Elsa the Riveter! An inspiring figure for young women to embrace who they are and let go of trying to be someone else. This strong female character is gorgeously rendered. I enjoy her light smooth skin and detailed garment. The delicate snowflakes and swirls make an interesting background.

Thank You Six Eyed Monster

04/16/14 Top 3 Pick; The Planet of The Kong

Looks like the Mushroom Kingdom fell to a mushroom cloud. I wonder if Mario got a kiss with Dixie? The barrels are a nice call back to the original Donkey Kong arcade game which originally pit these two foes against each other. This design portrays an interesting scene with Donkey Kong dominating the composition. Mario in a kneeling down pose shows his emotions without showing facial features.

04/15/14 Top 3 Pick; Batpop

Na na na na na na Batman! Here we have Batman’s Rogues Gallery rendered in the style of Andy Warhol. Wonderful use of block colors and simple lines to form these infamous villains. The colors create very interesting shapes and dynamic negative spaces all contained within a grid composition.

Thank You Edwoody

04/15/14 Top 3 Pick; The Cannibal

“The Devil is in the details.” This design has both in spades! This horned figure is made up of amazing line work. The thick and thin line variation nicely show the contours in the face. The disembodied head with red eyes looks dark and malevolent.

Tip: This shirt is best enjoyed with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

04/15/14 Top 3 Pick; Little Robin

Every hero needs a sidekick right? Meet the original sidekick, Batman’s Robin! A hilarious literal interpretation of the character’s moniker. He’s ready in his gear to fly by and fight crime. His little garment, gloves, and mask are delicately illustrated. I enjoy the soft earth tones color scheme.

“Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children…” Sorry Ygritte, but Jon’s a man of his word. I enjoy that this simple design is mostly typographic. The basic white serif typeface has a similar treatment to the Game of Thrones font including the parallel lines in the “O”s.

Thank You Five Finger Tees

04/14/14 Top 3 Pick; Naskart

“Here we go!” Now this is a sport I could watch! Banana peels, red and green shells, mushroom boosts, and the all powerful blue shell; combine that with the colorful characters of Mario’s universe and you’ve got one exciting race! This design is very similar to the iconic Nascar logo, which conveys movement and is quite fitting for the race theme.

04/14/14 Top 3 Pick; Some Men

“If I have to have a past, then I prefer it to be multiple choice.” A man with nothing to lose is frightening. A crazy psychopath, detached from reality, hellbent on making the world as twisted as he is, AND he has nothing to lose? Somebody call Batman! This chaotic design is perfect for a for a crazy villain. His wild hair is interesting and reflects his insane mind. His mouth looks like a sinister red bloody grin. I enjoy that the typography is treated the same, irrational and mad.

04/13/14 Top 3 Pick; Ice Cream Queen

Do you want to build a sundae? Or was it snowman? Arendelle’s Ice Beauty is nicely portrayed in this whimsical design; her flawless warm face against her cool winding, intricate hair. I enjoy all the wonderful little snow flakes and twirling patterns that add texture. The ornate letter forms are fit for a queen.

04/13/14 Top 3 Pick; The Detective

A delightfully dark mash-up of Batman and Dick Tracy! It’s easy to imagine The Dark Knight fighting the organized crime in Tracy’s noir world. It’s not that much different from Gotham! Interesting composition contained within the circular frame. I love the use of negative space with simple solid color shapes to describe the dark figure. Provocative use of basic colors also expressed by Dick Tracy.

Thank You Moysche

Amazing! I love Harry Potter. I love Megan Lara. I love this shirt. From the subject matter and content to all the small details. This potions professor’s facial features and scowl are clean and expressive. The bright blue patronus in the foreground nicely balances the large amount of dark in the design from Snape’s cape. The light delicate Lilly flowers and the evil Dark Mark visually display Snape’s duality.

04/12/2014 Top 3 Pick; Blue Doom

Hurry up! Just like Link’s quest in Majora’s Mask, you only have a few days to grab this design before it’s gone forever! The ominous moon looks over the little hero. The scale of the large moon dominates over the design. Link is amount lost within the trees. I enjoy the nice little choppy shapes created by the trees for visual complexity. Link has a large task at hand.

04/12/2014 Top 3 Pick; Enemies

Two of the Doctor’s greatest foes. The Cybermen and the Daleks. Very nice geometric composition. I really enjoy how the angled lines break up the design into interesting planes. The vertical text is rare and adds a dynamic quality to the opposing figures. The watercolor stains add much-needed texture and help give an organic feel to the robotic, geometric composition.

So where do I enlist? Is SHIELD hiring? Here we have America’s literal ‘poster’ boy! Looks like Steve Rogers is about to pop out of this stars and stripes design. He looks highly detailed using simple color illusions so the eye completes the image. Wonderful radiating background. I enjoy how the background elements break from the rectangular frame.

04/11/14 Top 3 Pick; Robolution

From Metropolis to Wall-E, we see the evolution of our artificial counterparts. Wonderful incline composition. The robots are nicely detailed with simple white outlines on the dark figures. I enjoy how the robots are not posing together or the same, they are naturally standing or flying in same cases.

Start the day right. Wipe out hunger AND Hydra with the Cap’n! This cereal looks like a blast in the morning. There are many components in this design, but all are well-balanced and work well together. I enjoy all the wonderful details and care each component was given. The trading cards are a nice touch and a nod to the first Avengers movie.

Don’t take any candy from this stranger or prick any spindles! This dark mistress is seductive with a long graceful neck, large sultry eyes, and thin jaw line. Elegantly set in a floral motif frame that balances the negative space around the figure.

04/10/14 Top 3 Pick; I Destroy NY

“Chose the form of your destroyer! …It’s the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.” Remember, when someone asks if you’re a god, you say YES! This take on a simple iconic design is very nicely executed. I enjoy the simplified smiling representation of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Also, I enjoy how even the large letters are set with an even amount of negative space around each form.

04/10/14 Top 3 Pick; Nothing is Awesome

“Here in Cloud Cuckoo Land, there are no rules. There’s no government, no baby sitters, no bedtimes, no frowny faces, no bushy mustaches, and no negativity of any kind.” Well, Grumpy Cat certainly personifies (felinifies?) negativity. The polar opposite of the bubbly Unikitty from Lego Movie. Using simple block shapes Lego uni-Grumpy Cat stands stagnant on the blue gray background. The circular lego pattern on which she appears to stand on gives the design depth. The lack of white in the letter forms in the foreground set the mood and give the design a nice dull appearance.

“He’s no good to me dead”. Thought Boba died in that sarlacc pit? Think again! With any luck, our favorite bounty hunter will make an appearance in episode VII! Wonderful chewed-up texture on the helmet next to the countless sharp teeth. The zillion center pointing teeth also create an inter woven texture and visual excitement. I enjoy the maroon and teal color combination opposed to the traditional hunter green and red.

What do Bruce Wayne and Ace have in common? Their fear of bats! One will transform himself into an instrument of justice, the other will… well, he’ll just transform. The artist definitely did not mess with the [hair]do! This White Devil is nicely rendered including Jim Carey’s crazy facial gestures. Well expressed great white bat shape. I also enjoy the devil horn shaped letter forms.

Something tells me this guy is a few circuits short of a Terminator… Hey there momma! Hasta la vista! Looks like Johnny Bravo is ready for Halloween. Displaying his square jaw, large upper chest and small lower body, both figures are visually similar. Cool blue hues nicely express the leather jacket against the simple warm red background.

No one does fireworks quite like Gandalf! Just keep an eye on Merry and Pippin, there hasn’t been a dragon in these parts for ages… This design has an old-time etching style. The composition is bilaterally balanced and is visually interesting. I enjoy the texture and the different typographic elements. The flat light blue -gray color on the dark indigo background creates a nice contrast.

This moth/bee provides the honey Heisenberg uses to sweeten his cooks. The design is composed from simple outlines. Wonderful thick to thin ratio of line width to create overall color. The basic geometry is nicely balanced. The large circular seal overhead anchors the design and repeats and relates to the circles within the insect.

“Where’s Esteban? Esteban was eaten! He was bitten? Eaten! [pause] He was swallowed whole? No! Chewed!” Stevie is out for revenge on his steamboat after the death of his friend Esteban and he’s packing’ dynamite. Super cute design referencing a movie I absolutely love! Nice big cartoon eyes along with thin Mickey Mouse limbs and big round shoes behind an enlarged ship’s wheel. Pleasant, calm, nautical color scheme.

Whether you’re a scout, in the garrison, or just a new recruit, it seems death is coming for you. Humanity is not safe. Not from the titans. Not from itself. This stable composition nicely combines the various objects. While the gray-green tones set a hopeless mood.

Watch out Cap, the Winter Soldier is coming! This is a wonderfully timed mash up, pitting the season premiere of Game of Thrones with the weekend release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I can’t imagine this villain would go over well with the Marvel Universe’s own Stark, Tony Stark! Very nice rendering of the figure using dark tones on black. Wonderfully detailed guns radiating in the background are a wonderful sword substitute.
