Print Liberation by Ami Kealoha

Dontgiveup 1 Print-Liberation-Canvasbag

Philadelphia-based design studio Print Liberation carries a line of tees, prints, and accessories that will make any font nerd swoon. Printed on American Apparel, we like the layout and concept of the "Don't Give Up" tee, which avoids the bumper sticker-like pitfalls of other message shirts by using non-centered and so-clichéd-it's-meaningless text and was also one of Print Liberation's wheat paste campaigns. The same large graphic letters show up on a canvas tote and are also featured on an apron, which is not to say that these items are the only goods worth checking out from Print Liberation—a Bill Clinton tee, a limited-edition "Don't Give Up" print, and the team's graphic design work stand out as well.

+41 Fairtilizer Tee and Peacock Scarf
Maybe because we're excited about the upcoming U.S. release of Control or maybe just because we appreciate any interpretation of Peter Saville's pulsar-inspired design, but either way +41's new Fairtilizer t-shirt turned our head. Developed for a music sharing site (called Fairtilizer) that +41 is art directing, the 100% cotton tee is a nice addition to the rest of their (almost) all black-and-white 2007...
Moonblood Superhero Tees
Philadelphia t-shirt makers Moonblood's latest features angular shapes that evoke the lightning bolts of action hero costumes. The hand-drawn graphics are filled in with finely-detailed patterns that look as if they were culled from around the world.
