T-shirt Sketchbook now available

If you're looking for a creative Christmas gift or even something for yourself, the t-shirt sketchbook is a good one. Pukka/Dank manufactured this t-shirt sketchbook that contains 170 pages for you to get your creative juices flowing. You may not have to be a t-shirt designer, but it'll be fun doodling all over while helping you get into your zone. For $15, I say it's worth it, but then again I love sketchbooks and fill them up pretty quickly.

Purchase the T-shirt Sketchbook here: http://www.pukkadank.com/products/t-shirt-sketchbook

 

Rethink Clothing "Out with the old sale"

T-shirt company, Rethink Clothing has a sale where tees are $5 or $10 on their older tees. Rethink is a t-shirt company that proud that they only use college artists to design their tees. I think it's good that they offer the portfolio pieces for college students, but at the same time I feel this is just a gimmick. Hey, sometimes gimmicks get you where you want. Any hoot, there are some cool looking tees that would be awesome to be picked up.

Look out for some new tees in the future, because Rethink is working with an artist which makes the next set of shirts look very promising.

Cool Palehorse Designed T-shirts

Palehorse aka Chris Parks is a designer who's work I really like. I really like his illustrations and think he has some creative concepts when it comes to his personal work. He has these two t-shirts that I think showcase his work very well. The t-shirts are tagless, so there won't be an itchy neck from the tag when you wear it. I'm not sure if I like the "Christos Mysterio" which I find to be a humorous parody or the "Mariachi" better. You can purchase these t-shirt for $22, which is a reasonable price for some wearable art.

 

Mushyhead video process by Ray Masaki

Here's a video process of Ray Masaki going from sketch to vector in Illustrator. He has a very whacky cool style. The eyes reminds me of artist KAWS 's work, but that's about it. Ray chooses an interesting color palette, but watch how someone else designs their work.

Mintees.com the NEW T-shirt Community

In case you haven't heard, Mintees.com is the new hot spot for the T-shirt community. Emptees.com (r.i.p....yea silly for a website, but whatever) was the big spot to go to for t-shirt designers, resources, find out info on brands such as BrandedBaron,miscellaneous chit chat, and more. It shut down today and Mintees was able to bring that community to what should be a great new site. It pretty much looks just like Emptees, but a bit more stylized and it feels good to know that there is a great replacement.

If you are a designer and want to showcase your designs, talk about t-shirts, check out resources, I suggest you head to Mintees.com If you experience any bugs please submit, since the site was put together in a month, so everyone from Emptees can join Mintees today. You'll definitely catch me partaking in the community and occasionally submitting t-shirt designs(I know I should be submitting a lot and I will try).
