Ript Apparel T-shirt Process from Start to Finish

Metroid x Art Nouveau at Ript Apparel

Ript Apparel has this design up for sale today. So, if you want this on a t-shirt or even a zip up hoodie purchase it today, because it'll be gone tomorrow. RIPT Apparel print on soft tees and the printing isn't too shabby either. This tee was done by Ninja Ink, whom I own a Ript tee who's work was his. This is a nice blend of nostalgia and art. $10 for a t-shirt = win.

This one is a bit more of my taste, because it's a bit more artistic than other of their designs. When sites constantly post parody shirts one after another, it becomes very bland especially when some of them aren't that great. Don't get me wrong I've created some even though it's a bit rare for me to do and there are some really well done parody designs that deserve its credit, but it's good to switch it up. I can't knock them since parody shirts are very big business across the internet.

Coming this weekend from RIPT Apparel

I'm personally digging the Street Fighter design. I might cop a hoodie and tee, maybe. I know a tee will definitely be mine. The other design, I don't really get the reference and even if I did I still think I would not care for it.

Great Tees at Teefury & RIPT Apparel

Two great t-shirts are being sold on this site on the same day. Usually one will have a better design than the other or they both won't have anything good. Today they have great designs that play into the very popular, trendy, and money making nostalgic geek designs with a Art Nouveau Super Marios and a Superbowl fitting Transformers design.

I personally love the Peaches Nouveau and think it looks great. I'm not so fond of her face, but the overall concept is clever. The Cyber Bowl flips the Autobots and Decepticons in a great cool looking football theme. I definitely think both are worth purchasing, especially if you're a fan. They're only $9 and $10 for these designs, so it is a great price for cool art.

MEGA Mario Man available at RIPT Apparel 1/19 Only

This t-shirt design was very nicely executed and brings back the nostalgia for all those Nintendo lovers. I know for me, this is great and brings memories of playing both Super Mario Bros. and Mega Man. You can only pick this up for 1 day at Ript Apparel Buy this shirt while you can, it is definitely a heater. The artist Baardel aka Mike did do a really good job in my eyes with the pattern of Mega Man incorporated to create the original Super Mario.

King Kong Vs. Bruce Lee

This is a very interesting design that is available exclusively at Ript Apparel for one day for only $10. This is a funny design, that I like. Who will wing King Kong or Bruce Lee?  The angles of the two main characters are odd and bothers me. Also it seems that the gorilla referenced is very similar to Mateus Santolouco's image. The concept is funny and if you want to own then you should pick it up, before it is gone. The design is created by Montreal native Sidoneon. You can view more of his art here: http://sidoneon.deviantart.com

RIPT Apparel turns 1 year old

At 1a.m.eastern/12 midnight central. Ript Apparel will turn uno. They have designs using the first week of artists that were ever featured on RIPT. You can see the sneak peek. Go to RIPT APPAREL to purchase the shirts. I was featured there and hope to be featured again, so it's good to continue supporting sites/businesses like this.

Pictures of Hothead Shirt from Ript Apparel

Here are pictures from the design that was up for sale on Ript Apparel The print came out pretty nice. I immediately rocked it, because it came out pretty good. This design was one that I had no idea where it was going to go. I know it's not a great design, but it was cool...excuse me I mean hot. The finishing product on any design usually makes a big difference from when you see it on the screen to in your hands. It looked really good, one thing I did notice is it looks like it's going to crack. At least on one of the two shirts. I hope it doesn't, but it does have a nice soft feel and usually when you print on red shirts, it's a pain for it not to crack. At least that's with white ink, you want to avoid red shirts. I'm not saying it won't look good or come out printed fine, it's just something to be aware of. I do know I added a bunch of distress and halftone distress effects on it. I made the design with the intention of halftones, so it limits the printing cost, but they made all the colors solid. Ript Apparel did an amazing job printing this design. I definitely would like to have another limited edition exclusive design on their site for sale again. They're a good company, so look everyday for an exclusive limited edition design on their site promoting different artists. Thank you Ript Apparel!
