Incognito t-shirt by radiomode at Edo Label

This is the first t-shirt printed by Japanese t-shirt contest site, Edo Label. A little birdy tells me that there will be  a new t-shirt coming soon and as I haven’t featured Edo Label since the pre-opening contest was being held I thought I had better do it now. This is a pretty cool logo t-shirt by radiomode aka Budi Satria Kwan. The concept of a zebra combined with a barcode has been done before but I haven’t seen it done quite so expertly before. It is a blatant logo t-shirt but still manages to be cool. Check it out at Edo Label, Japan’s only ongoing t-shirt contest site.

Threadless tees offer a new perspective

Again I apologize for the lack of posts recently. I hope to return to the normal pace but I realize that it is unlikely that it will happen anytime soon. I have a lot on my plate at the moment with three jobs and a baby on the way. I have other things going on that take my time too but I won’t bore you with the details. I will tell you about two new shirts while I sit here smugly thinking to myself what a clever title this post has.

The first is Solitary Dream Pt2 by Budi Satria Kwan aka Radiomode and on top of the clever illustration I just like the colors.

The second t-shirt is similar in theme in that it is turning our preconceived conceptions upside down. In this one the puppets are really the puppet masters. I think we can expect this from Bert though although I think he should have had a more evil smile on his face. It’s by Aled Lewis and seems to be a Sesame Street parody.
