04/10/14 Top 3 Pick; Mistress of All Evil

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.

Thank You eduardovieiart

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.

Thank You Rbucchioni

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.

04/09/14 Top 3 Pick; Armored Legacy

“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.

Thank You Wetbrain

04/09/14 Top 3 Pick; Shikaka

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.

Thank You Punksthetic

04/09/14 Top 3 Pick; Bravonator

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.

Thank You Ratigan

04/08/14 Top 3 Pick; Gandalf’s Fireworks

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.

Thank You Azafran

04/08/14 Top 3 Pick; Tech Meth

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.

Thank You David Bear

04/08/14 Top 3 Pick; Steamboat Stevie

“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.

04/07/14 Top 3 Pick; Mother of Dragons

Mhysa! If I were a slave in Game of Thrones, this is one tattoo I wouldn’t mind having! This is a classic Sailor Jerry tattoo style design. It’s a simple design composed of thick outlines with basic colors and bold shading on an antique cream color base.

Thank You davequiggle

04/07/14 Top 3 Pick; Wings of Freedom

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.

Thank You Crumblincookie

04/07/14 Top 3 Pick; Winter’s Coming

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.

Thank You Gentleman Bob

Check out this once in a lifetime opportunity! “Investors? Possibly you!” Pay close attention to this design, it might look familiar… Great bright summer/beach time design. The design looks like a still from a rapper’s video.

Thank You Five Finger Tees

04/06/14 Top 3 Pick; Sliced

Walkers and Governors beware, this is one tough girl you don’t want to cross! Wonderful sword action. The swooshing katana and the blood following are nicely shown in bloody brown tones.

Thank You whiskysteaks

04/06/14 Top 3 Pick; Welcome to Cloud City

It’s not hard to imagine Lando Calrissian settling down and starting a family in Cloud City after the (Star) Wars. Maybe work a 9 to 5 for Mr. Spacely and his sprockets. The design is nicely stylized with solid shapes and clean lines. From George’s appearance, to the cloud shapes, and the Millenium design, you can see the obvious styles of The Jetsons.

04/05/2014 Top 3 Pick; 321-Let’s Jam

The 8-bit adventures of the Bebop and crew would definitely have been a NES classic! I’m sorry Cowboy, but your bounty is in another castle! Wonderful pixelized render of Spike. The type in an upward angle makes the design dynamic.

Thank You Pacalin

04/05/2014 Top 3 Pick; Gizbo

What wonderfully nostalgic 80’s mash up! To survive war, Gizmo must become war just like John Rambo. You definitely want Gizbo on your side when the Gremlins take over your office building! This little guy looks cute and ready to fire. The design is simple, clean and has nice bold outlines.

Thank You Zacly

Ryuko looks ready to fight! Wonderful dark silhouette figure balanced by the big bold red. The design is full of interesting angles created by Asian characters.

04/04/2014 Top 3 Pick; Beyond The Wall

Are you ready for the premiere this Sunday? I am!!! Here we have Jon and Ghost manning the wall with the Night’s Watch. Everything seems calm but “Winter is coming”. The white walker looms large overhead, the threat beyond the wall. All of this is contained in a wonderful oval composition. Nice icy whites and light blues on a navy background. Interesting use of negative and positive space.

Thank You Once Upon A Tee

04/04/2014 Top 3 Pick; Through The Fire

This one would be pleased to wear this shirt. The mother of dragons and breaker of chains. The Unburnt. Daenerys Stormborn. Surrounded by her Dragons (Viserion, Rhaegal, and Drogon), Dany looks like “a simple girl who knows little of war”. However, the ranks of Unsullied in the background show her true nature as a force to be reckoned with. Watch out Mereen! The composition of the design surrounds the center figure, visually giving her importance. I enjoy the various sizes of the dragons giving them the effect of flight. Wonderful use of warm, arid colors on a maroon background with a refreshing touch of sky blue.

04/04/2014 Top 3 Pick; Red Queen

This formal and strict governess is ready for a game of chess. The artist’s different sinister approach to the infamous red queen is stunning. Her beautiful facial features and the wonderful details to her garment and headdress are prim and proper. Justly fit with baroque style background. You’ll lose you head over this design!

Tall… b-b-blue… With this shirt, you too can be the winner of the Gemini Croquette contest! This realistic render of the Diva has amazing details. The beautiful blue tones flesh out this elegant foreign body. The antiquated yellow and gold on the nouveau background gives the design a wonderful old opera house aesthetic. Bravo!

Thank You Penguinstein

04/03/14 Top 3 Pick; Antique Adventurer

Warning! Do not look directly at this design for too long or you might suffer the same fate from Raiders of the Lost Ark. This design is face-meltingly awesome! The jungle print background is visually intriguing. Indiana Jones’ silhouette is handled in two different poses but both flow organically on one another. His bright orange sidekick in the foreground brings out the orange tones in the upper part of the design, making the eyes venture around.

Thank You Arinesart

04/03/14 Top 3 Pick; The Great Fox Four

Fox, Falco, Peppy, and Slippy are all here. There’s no other team I’d rather fly with into an asteroid field! Wonderful use of color to create depth of field. The use of that bright yellow jumps out against the blues. The line work in the design is beautiful and humanist. Just don’t forget to do a barrel roll!

04/02/14 Top 3 Pick; X-MON

This must be Professor Oak’s School for Gifted Poketrainers! Pikachu is doing his/her best Storm impression and Squirtle is a perfect fit for the brash, young Bobby Drake (aka Iceman). The different elements are shown in action and a wonderful dynamic composition. Rendered in solid bright colors with bold outlines, the design is captivating.

Thank You Harebrained

04/02/14 Top 3 Pick; Charface

As Tony Montana said, “Say goodnight to the bad guy”. Actually, don’t go to bed at all with this creepy mash up! The design contains a very clever tagline combining both subject matter. The high contrast is alarming. The figures bright white knife fingers on the stark black background is intense. Wonderful use of textures, from the scary melting burned face to worn, ragged sweater.

Thank You Mephias

04/02/14 Top 3 Pick; Free Gyarados

Remember all those hours you’d spend grinding your Magikarp knowing it would all be worth it in the end? You’d get the awesome Gyrados for all your trouble and that definitely felt like a whale of a challenge! Epic dynamic composition. This design contains a wonderful upward motion due to the wave and side spray. The creature captures most of the attention by being portrayed in detail over the simple figure in silhouette.

04/01/14 Top 3 Pick; Titan

Remember the original Titan, Andre the Giant? This design is a wonderful callback to the original Fairey “Obey” design. The Titan’s face is large and close up. It’s rendered in solid outlines, in a grayscale color palette. The bold red box stands out on the gray head. The design is squarely contained in a large tall rectangle demanding to by obeyed.

Thank You Buzatron

04/01/14 Top 3 Pick; Rabbit Hole

“You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.” Okay, this isn’t a mash up with The Matrix but the reference still seemed appropriate because the red in this design really pops! This dream like design features a sweet large white bunny, with a big soft round eye. The gentleman rabbit wears a detailed fabric garment complete with a pocket watch. The white roses seem to drip with red paint. Meanwhile, the interesting winding thorny tendrils pull you in.

04/01/14 Top 3 Pick; Inspector Spacetime

Looks like I can finally pick a Doctor Who shirt without having to talk about a Doctor Who shirt! This handsome design is actually a reference to a Doctor Who parody from the tv show, Community. I enjoy the star-space texture on the figure’s suit. The design contains nice, fine outlines around the space texture and gears to create a deco style background. The tall, serif letter forms fit nicely with the design. The blue and gold tones make this design stand out.

03/31/14 Top 3 Pick; Dreaming Of Electric Shreep (sic)

The answer to the age old question posed by Philip K. Dick. The novel would later be adapted into the better known film, Blade Runner. The artist nicely depicts the book title by using cute round figures. The artist effectively portrays the android logo as a sleeping figure while keeping it recognizable by use of form and color.

03/31/14 Top 3 Pick; Rock, Man!

Remember that 80’s metal band, Mega Man? Well, maybe it was a video game but this shirt definitely rocks! For those in the dark, Mega Man was originally known as Rock Man in Japan (of the Roll variety). Awesome pixel design. I love the large scale of the typography in the foreground. The extreme angles in the letter forms and gradation give it a totally 80’s appearance.

03/31/14 Top 3 Pick; Direwolf Winter Lager

Dorne can keep their wine, give me beer! I can just imagine the barrels fermenting in the crypts beneath Winterfell with all the Stark ancestors. The design is clean and uses a single color on a gray background. The old style etching quality and the organic forms on the sides of the design give it a beer label appearance. Remember to Drink Responsibly!

Embrace your inner man-child with this awesome retro mash up! Just watch out for your arch nemesis, they just might try to steal your shirt! Loners and rebels only! Awesome pixelated look with the use of bold primary colors. The artist adds interest by adding game label components such as the seal and series.

03/29/14 Top 3 Pick; Ink Face

A deviously clever Rorschach test! No Face is here to reflect back your own thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Will you corrupt him with your bath house greed? Or impasse your charity and kindness like Chihiro? The nice dark soot balls come together in this design. The dark ink in contrast to the white background is stark and creates an organic negative space.

Elsa looks like she’s ready to leap directly into Outworld! Stay on her good side or else you might end up on the wrong side of her Friendship as a snow man! Interesting background filled with crystal shapes and snowflakes. The figure is in a midair “S” pose waving her magical hands.
