List of my faves
1/21/15 Top Pick; Dark City
Composition – Wonderful play with positive and negative space. Like most of Kharmazero’s designs, it is composed of simple dark or negative space against a wash of exciting color as the positive space. I love that this designer is not afraid of stark contrast and he utilizes it wonderfully.
Color – The contrasting light and dark colors nicely develop the design. The radiating reds, yellows, and oranges create an attractive field for the dark city landscape.
Thank You Kharmazero

1/21/15 Top Pick; Never Say Die
Lines & Forms – What a beauty! This designer’s female figures are breathtakingly gorgeous with an easily recognizable style. I love the thick wavy strips of hair. His typical big eyed beauties never fail to impress. I absolutely love the thick outlines and waving banners giving his designs a tattoo style appearance. As a part-time body piercer at a tattoo shop, I encounter this style on a regular basis. His lines, drawings, and sketches, which he frequently shares on Facebook, are just a beautiful!
Color – The wonderful shading technique nicely develops the forms and thus very little color is necessary.
Thank You Tim Shumate

11/18/14 Top Pick; The Last Space Bender
Color – I really enjoy the rainbow of colors that extends over all the positive Space in this design. The figure created out of the negative space sits boldly and simply amidst the positive areas.
Texture – The light washes of color give this design an airy, cosmic feel.
Thank You KharmaZero

11/18/14 TopPick; Bat Attitude
Lines and Forms – Barbara Gordon is ready to BATter up! Wonderful thick line work. The thiner lines within the figure add a wonderful rough texture.
Composition – I really enjoy the simple composition of all the lovely girls in this series. The figures are all in varying sitting poses on a simple stamped background.
Color – The varying purples, cool grays, and golds work wonderfully together. I don’t usually rock purple. I believe I only have one purple tee shirt, so I might just have to buy this one!
Thank You Tom Kurzanski

11/18/14 TopPick; Whip It
Lines and Forms – I would love to rock Selina’s outfit; it’s so CATTY! Again, the thick line work gives the design a bold look while the thin inner lines add detail.
Compostion – Like the rest of the series, I really enjoy the lovely figure sitting simply on the stamped background. The background has just been simply rotated to better balance the figure.
Thank You Tom Kurzanski

09/10/14 Top Pick; Wizard
Don’t tempt me, OTHERTEES!
Lines and Forms – Wonderful well-formed lines with a variety of widths. The lines create a detailed render of one my favorite wizards ever!
Composition – Intriguing layout using the figure’s hair to wind the eye around the whole composition.
Texture – The varying widths of the lines create an interesting color using simple positive and negative shapes.
Thank You 2mz

09/10/14 Top Pick; Bad Seed and Criminal Miss Conduct
Concept – Wonderful idea and execution of these two tough broads as Roller Derby Girls. Their outfits and accessories work very well with the concept and the individual characters.
Color – I really enjoy these dark, combat color palettes. I also very much enjoy their simple brighter color frame.
Lines and Forms – Wonderful style in which these to figures are portrayed. They both look unique but easily recognizable.

06/23/14 Top Pick; Spinner of Spells
“The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who know her. But… before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she shall prick her finger, on the spindle of a spinning wheel – AND DIE!”
Composition – I really enjoy the large dragon image behind the beautiful villain. The heavy purple areas nicely balance Maleficent’s figure.
Lines and Forms – Great use of positive and negative spaces to render various details within the design.
Color – I really enjoy the bright purple with the small bright green accents.
Thank You Harantula

06/23/14 Top Pick; Wildling Encounter
Concept – Interesting mash-up of characters.

Thank You TeeTurtle

06/23/14 Top Pick; Gamma Rays
Concept – Interesting design which visually portrays the smaller Bruce figure trapped within the larger Hulk figure.
Color – I really enjoy the limited amount of color use to portray the infamous Hulk. The negative space figure within needs no introduction.
Lines and Forms – The long thin refracted hazy lines are a great way of visually showing the rays. They nicely delineate the Incredible Hulk.
Thank You Steven Lefcourt
Buy This Shirt! Gamma Rays
06/23/13 Top Pick; Watch the World Burn
Composition – Wonderful compositions on the front and back of the shirt! The front has a great sense of dimension. Joker seem to pop out of the background. The back of the shirt in beautifully intricate and balanced and nicely relates to the front of the shirt.
Lines and Forms – Wonderful amount of line work. Delicate and complex, the devil is in the details ;). Joker’s long grin is jaw dropping.
Typography – If I didn’t follow this awesome artist of Facebook, I wouldn’t have seen her hand drawn sketches. Her letter forms look this good in her sketches!
Thank You Medusa the Dollmaker

06/20/14 Top Pick; Super Freeze Fighter
(Inserts Coin)
“Round 1, FIGHT!”
Concept – It would be interesting to see these match-ups since they all have similar powers.
Lines and Forms – All characters are nicely rendered in pixel form. The fighters are cleanly organized in the rounded corner square grid. I enjoy that some characters slightly pop out of their square.
Thank You Ryan Astle

06/20/14 Top Pick; Where the Colossi Are
“Let The Wild Rumpus Start!”

I love Game of Thrones. Deal with it. 😛
06/10/14 Top Pick; Fire Song
The first in a pair of matching A Song of Ice and Fire designs. That’s Game of Thrones for you non-readers. Here we have the southern kingdoms and their noble houses.
Composition – Wonderfully well-balanced and dynamic combination of components.
Color – Bright regal golden fire appearance.
Lines & Forms – Great amount of details on such a complex design.
Thank You Jonito
Buy This Shirt! Fire Song
06/10/14 Top Pick; Ice Song
The northern half of the pair. This design is a perfect foil to the other. See if you can spot all the details. It’s like a game of “Where’s Walder?”. Hint: the towers of the Twins are in there for House Frey.
Composition – While this design is slightly different again, wonderfully well-balanced and dynamic combination of components. All the components are slightly different from the other design but work well together also.
Color – Nice icy blues.
Lines & Forms – Great amount of details on such a complex design.
Thank You Jonito

06/10/14 Top Pick; The Knight’s Watch
Texture – I really enjoy the distressed texture on the black areas giving them interest and complexity.
Composition – Great use of positive and negative spaces. The men create a dynamic balanced pyramid by their placement in ascending order.
Humor – Need I say more?
Thank You Allen Bao

Sorry folks! I didn’t like any shirts yesterday. But today is a new day! Here are my Top Picks:
06/04/14 Top Pick; Hold Me Thrill Me
Composition – Great bold block design. Their strong embrace is centered within the block created by the heavy text. The diagonal rain lines nicely break the square to create a larger square giving the design dimension.
Color – Although the design is in black and white, the variety of lines give it color. Catwoman’s dark suit and black background is balanced nicely with Batman’s suit and the heavy text.
Thank You Weekly Shirts
Buy This Shirt! Hold Me Thrill Me
06/04/14 Top Pick; Infinite Who
Composition – Nicely balanced triangular-shaped design. The text sits nicely on the pyramid’s base in a tattoo style banner.
Color – I really enjoy the shades of blue used. The blues look great with the light cool cream color. I really enjoy the light bright blue highlights making the design glow.
Typography – The type is probably the reason why I like this shirt so much. I really enjoy how the word “Who” was created. The Doctor Who components are expertly placed in the negative spaces to create the letters forms. I also really enjoy the tattoo style script in the banner.
Thank You Victorsbeard
