I Heart Cool Stuff

I thought this was quite funny. Poor hipsters, they never saw it coming. Thanks to Tim for posting this very witty t-shirt?

I bring news of 5 different artists and their upcoming t-shirts. First I’ll focus on Bubi Au Yeung’s shirts, and then you can hit the jump to find out (and see) the shirts that Doktor A, Tara McPherson, Jon Burgerman and Dalek are releasing.

I love Bubi! If you don’t know who she is, the above photo should give you an inclination. She’s the talented artist that brought us Treeson (and all it’s colorways/sizes). She recently shared the newest additions to her Zazzle shop where she sells her own apparel.

Be Different is the newest addition to her site. She has it available in several cuts for both men and women, and also has some key chains, hats and a mug!! I think I might be picking up the mug for myself, because I have a mug collection that needs some growing. I also happen to love her previous design:

I am actually quite in love with the expression on her character’s face. hee-hee. I say, I want to ask Bubi to turn me into a Treeson. The very first image is a picture of Bubi (treeson-ized). I like that she’s able to do a simple design with such limited colors. Great job Bubi! To check out her shop, click this link. Now, keeping reading to see stuff from some of our other favorite artists. (more…)

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything from Threadless. As of lately their releases are VERY dissapointing and until their sale 2 weeks ago, I hadn’t logged on to my account in over a month! That does remind me, I need to upload lots of photos to get my credit points.

Anyway, above is a current design begging for votes to be produced– and, I LOVE it! Alas, I never think about the pacman ghosts and their families and this shirt clearly throws it in my face. Please be kind and vote for it, Threadless needs good releases before I give up on it as my t-shirt site.

It occured to me that I wanted to post about Kaiju Babo, and then I suddenly wanted to post about the new shirts at Giant Robot– so I decided to put some things David Horvath in one post. I am a HUGE fan of David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim. I can’t help but love their overly simplistic, but super cute little monsters. With them, I experience being able to draw their popular characters without feeling like I missed the magic.

So, to the first matter at hand. I’ve wanted to own most of DH’s Kaiju Uglies… and the fact that I don’t understand the foreign language is holding me back. A friend of mine explained the process, but I keep thinking I’m going to frak up. Apparently, you have to email them what you’re interested in along with address and they request a paypal payment? Umm [source] is that correct? Well, if they’re not sold out– I WANT KAIJU BABO!!!

At first I was thrown off by the revelation of a cookie tail. The cookie part was okay, I mean, who doesn’t LOVE cookies?!! I’ll send cookie monster on you. It was explained that Babo lives in an alternate universe where a tail is necessary. So cool! Anyway, he’s set to come out later this month, so keep your eyes peeled.

Not only did DH release news of his newest Kaiju addition, but apparently, new t-shirts have been shipped too! Woo hoo! My favorite two are above, but I am especially loving the “I Quit!” shirt. How awesome is that? The shirts are about $22 a pop and you can check Giant Robot to get it.

My friend Podgy, upcoming artist extraordinaire has released his first t-shirt design: Chick Magnet. I love it!! My favorite part? The little chick resisting the “love”.

Podgy is the artist responsible for making mini saki- the kawaii goodness that is me in shrunken form. Yay for Podgy and his first shirt. Now, go buy his t-shirt, which available for both men and women… I’m sure you can agree that the shirt is too cool not to own. Since he’s in New Zealand it’ll cost $40 NZD, but if you’re in the states, that converts to approx. $30. Visit his shop to purchase.
