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.

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

teefury_curiouser-and-curiou_1417583627.full

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

Gah! I am going to go broke solely on Megan Lara Shirts!

teefury_almost-there_1405484150_full

“It serves me right for wishing on stars. The ONLY way to get what you want in this world is through hard work.” Princess Tiana is definitely one of my favorite Princesses!

07/16/14 Top Pick; Almost There

star Composition – Simple yet effective and elegant composition. The beautiful figure is surrounded by a detailed frame.

star Color – Wonderful earth tones married wonderfully with Princess Tiana’s gorgeous skin tones, both human AND frog! I really enjoy this design on the dark chocolate and military green option. (I bought the green!)

star Lines and Forms – Beautifully detailed frame using organic quality lines. There is also a lovely play with positive and negative spaces.

Thank You Megan Lara

teefury_highland-tapestry_1405484145_full

07/16/14 Top Pick; Highland Tapestry

star Composition – Again, simple, effective, and elegant composition. The beautiful figure is surrounded by another detailed frame. I am definitely a fan of this series of princess portraits!

star Color – Wonderful play with warm fiery colors and cool tones.

star Lines and Forms – Merida’s wild hair lends to the organic free-flowing typical Art Nouveau locks.

Thank You Megan Lara

threadlessgals_oogie-boogie_1405479769_full

07/16/14 Top Pick; Oogie Boogie

star Color – Dark, creepy green tones on a black background give this disembodied hooded face an instant horror feel. I really enjoy the highlights used to create dimension.

star Texture – Very spooky, rough potato sack texture you can almost feel. (The character gives me goosebumps!)

Thank You Francis Arcega

05/31/14 Top Picks; Real Bad Things

The final season is coming up!! I have been busy re-watching previous seasons getting ready for the last. The trailers make this season look very intriguing, but I still love season 1 the best!

starCreativity – Wonderful way to portray the theme song with an iconic True Blood image.

starExecution – Looks amazing! Seductive, scary, rough, and the letter forms remain legible.

starComposition – Wonderfully bold and balanced. The contrast of the bright white fangs with the deep red drips are breath-taking.

Thank You Zerobriant (this was an insta-buy!)

ript_sous-la-mer_1401513160.full

05/31/14 Top Picks; Sous La Mer

starComposition – Amazing Art Nouveau style Disney princess. Ariel sits bright in the center as the various little icons of her character are nicely laid out in circular shapes radiate around her.

starColor scheme –  All the colors look amazing together. I especially like how the gradients really give the design depth. I enjoy how the green tones with the bright purple create a nice contrast.

starLines and Forms – The wonderful lines in the design really help give it an Art Nouveau appearance. I really enjoy the various thicknesses of the lines creating complexity. The forms and curve of the mermaid’s body are delicate and wavy giving her an “Under the Sea” look.

Thank You Megan Lara (also an insta-buy…. I am going to go poor buying all these shirts :P)

teefury_maneki-luna_1398572000.full

04/27/14 Top 3 Pick; Maneki Luna

This Maneki Neko design depicting Sailor Moon’s cat Luna is so adorable! This motif works well for this black guardian cat, which signifies luck, happiness, and fortune. I highly enjoy this bright, feminine color palette. The traditionally black cat is depicted in a wonderful shape of purple with a black gradient. The floral bed in which the welcoming cat lies in, is fresh and sweet. Wonderful line work and color execution as usual for Ms. Lara.

Thank You Megan Lara

shirtpunch_darkside-of-the-forc_1398572016.full

04/27/14 Top 3 Pick; Darkside of the Force

Every time I see one of these Akira mash-ups, I can instantly hear Kaneda’s theme music. Kaneda is depicted here as Vader from Star Wars. This dark lord seems determined, headed for his Tie Fighter ( Okay, technically a Tie Advanced x1 prototype). I enjoy the movement of his wind-blown cape as he walks up the design. His vehicle is meticulously illustrated and brings the eye upward.  The design is then nicely balanced by the red, asian characters in the bottom of the design.

shirtpunch_despicable-escape_1398572029.full

04/27/14 Top 3 Pick; Despicable Escape

This is a hilarious rendition of Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker’s escape in episode IV “minion-ified”. Minions are extremely popular these days and lend themselves well to depicting other characters by their recognizable humanoid features. I enjoy the wonderful perspective of the gray-scale background. I seem to laugh every time I look at their little funny yellow faces as they swoop through the air avoiding fire. And ,oh no!, they dropped their beloved BANANA! HAHAHA!

04/26/14  Top 3 Pick: Let Me In

A truly awe-inspiring piece. Frozen has become an instant classic and one of the best Disney films of the decade. Here we have the two main protagonists who happen to be sisters but couldn’t be more different. The reserved and icy Elsa foils her bubbly and outgoing counterpart. The design nicely portrays each character’s traits visually including season and personality. As we all remember though, true love binds these siblings together, and of course true love can thaw even a Frozen heart!

Thank You Megan Lara

Welcome to The Overlook! Where you can stay forever… and ever… and ever. Ask for room 237 and receive a special low rate! Fascinating geometric patterns from the hotel can be found nicely translated on to this shirt design (carpet pattern, the hedge maze, etc.).

04/26/14  Top 3 Pick: Buffalo Bill’s Body Lotion

Have you tried Buffalo Bill’s Body Lotion? THEN YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT MOISTURE IS! Whether you’re a size 14 or not, nothing screams hydration like Buffalo Bill’s! Appealing center placement of a nicely rendered death moth. I enjoy the font selection and corner ornamentation which gives the design an old medicine bottle or elixir label feel.

teefury_always_1397275960.full

04/12/2014 Top 3 Pick; Always

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.

Thank You Megan Lara

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.

Thank You Moysche

bluebox_enemies_1397197052.full

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.

Thank You Mareve Design
