06.21.2016 | TOP PICKS Daily Shirt Designs

I confess, I haven’t been checking all the daily shirt sites everyday. I have been crazy busy at my day job and getting ready for a Con this weekend (6/25/16). A couple of my friends and I will have an artist both at VA Comicon in Richmond, Virginia.

If you are in the area, come out and have fun. Stop by to say hi! Row 8, booth C (Aurora)

I was able to find an awesome Tee Fury Collection still available.

12/3/2014 Top Picks – Daily Shirt Designs

A great day for Alice in Wonderland!

teefury_the-flowers-of-wonde_1417583636.full

12/03/14 Top Pick; The Flowers of Wonderland

snowflake Color Scheme – I love the warm colors in contrast with the cool blues and grays of the leaves on the navy blue background. Although there are warm and cool colors, they seem to harmonize well.

snowflake Typography – Wonderful looping script type. It nicely weaves through the field of flowers. It boldly serves at the main component in this design.

snowflake Composition – The typography slants across the field leading the eye through the flowers. The little Alice figure in the bottom right corner is nicely balanced with the smaller type in the top left corner.

Also, I love the little branches with buds which add decoration to the flowers. Can you spot the hidden white rabbit? Too cute!

Thank You Gemma Roman

12/03/14 Top Pick; Curiouser and Curiouser

snowflake Lines and Forms – Megan Lara! Geez, master of expressing my favorite characters in an elaborate Art Nouveau style. Wonderful thick outlines. Beautiful floral motifs. Expressive hair and doll like faces.

snowflake Color Scheme – Wonderful muted earthy hues.

snowflake Composition – Elaborate frames which seem to visually retell the story.

Thank You Megan Lara
