Tom Burns loves to party

Again, over at Loiter I noticed that Tom Burns has added to his portfolio. One of his t-shirts that I have mentioned a couple of times on The T-Shirt Review is the Communist Party at Threadless. This is a pretty cool tee and probably one of the most reprinted shirts at Threadless. I knew that their was another version over at Loiter but when I went there today I noticed that there were two new part t-shirts: the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. They are both pretty sweet too. Anyway, to get your hands on one of these t-shirts just click on the image to go to their stores.

Loiter T-Shirt Design Contest

While over at Loiter I noticed that they are holding a t-shirt contest with a pretty decent prize: $1,000 plus 20% of all profits from sales forever. Submissions are open until January 31st so get out your virtual 2B pencils and paper and get drawing. Be sure to read the conditions though.

Penrose Triangle T-Shirts

The Penrose Triangle was named after mathematician Roger Penrose. I had probably seen the triangle a few times before but I certainly have seen plenty of Escher’s art in which this shape was popularized. This is a t-shirt blog rather than an art or math blog so I am of course going to talk about shirts. These shirts caught my attention a while back because they are all based on the Penrose Triangle. I had bookmarked them quite a while ago for mention but the recent submission of Trippy at Uneetee made me stop procrastinating. This design is the only one of the three designs in this post not yet available as a t-shirt. I imagine it is only a matter of time though.

I had seen this design when it was submitted to Threadless but it apparently wasn’t accepted there and the artist (kaloyster on Threadless) has now submitted it to Uneetee.

It seems that Threadless is not all that interested in the Penrose Triangle because another version of the Penrose Triangle by popular t-shirt designer, Tom Burns, called the Penrose Baby, was also not accepted. Perhaps it was because of the baby’s hairstyle which caused a minor controversy in the Threadless forums. Heeding the hairstyle advice of people in the forums, the baby was given a new do and submitted to Design by Humans.

Unfortunately the new hairstyle wasn’t enough to get a win at Design by Humans either though. But for those of you who want to get their hands on one of these tees don’t worry. It is available at Loiter.

Last but certainly not least is Puzzled Putter by Glenn Jones which is my favorite of the three but doesn’t have quite the back story of the others. At least not that I know of. It is available on Glenn Jones own t-shirt store, which is called Glennz, and is currently on sale at only $13.95. Actually all tee are $13.95  from December 26-31st.

Giant List of Star Wars T-Shirts

This list got much longer than I had expected. I started off quite a while ago just bookmarking Star Wars parody t-shirts when I came across them and just before I was about to write this post I decided to check to see if I had missed any good ones and discovered that I had. I also discovered a similar post at Tcritic and admit to grabbing some of those t-shirts too. This seems like a pretty comprehensive list of Star Wars spoof t-shirts but I know there are many more out there so if you know of any just add a link in the comment section and I will update this post if the design is suitable.

There are a huge number of t-shirts at Zazzle which sells officially licensed goods for Star Wars and it would be impossible for me to list them all but if you find one that warrants mention feel free to link to it in the comments.
