Star Electric Eighty Eight: Pursuit of Happiness
It's finally starting to feel like Spring is here—time to start thinking about sun, fun and of course T-shirts. One of our favs from last year, Star Electric Eighty Eight, just sent us pics of their latest collaboration. Called Pursuit of Happiness the designs were made by Harlem, New York based Jennifer Garcia and her ex-husband Anton Lopez. Drawing from both obvious and more...

Rock N' Clothing Tees
The collectable desirability of vintage Rock and Roll t-shirts nears that of sneakers. In the case of the Rock shirts however, the thinner and closer the garment is to the end of its life the better. A Mötley Crüe tee, owned by a slightly chubby and sadly misunderstood teenager, only to be used later by her mother to clean toilets, simply adds to the...

Alena Hennessy
Alena Hennessy introduced her work to us and we liked what we saw. She's an artist from Asheville, NC who expresses herself through painting, drawing, t-shirts and tiles. Her work is soft and feminine and natural. We liked it so much we've included her scarf in our Gift Guide today....

Kerry Territory
There are many more anti Bush T-shirts out there than there are pro Kerry ones. Kerry Territory, by Duplexlab feels: The sentiment has been clear for half or more of America's voters: GET GEORGE BUSH OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE. But this message has been diluted to a weak proclamation of "Anyone but Bush" or imagery that still implants George W. Bush into the...
