When I saw todays new release from Design by Humans “Shooting Stars by Mr. Davenport” I thought: that looks familiar. In fact it reminded me of yesterdays new release at Threadless “Skydiver” by Enkel Dika and when I saw that t-shirt I thought: that looks familiar. It reminded me of Journey to the City of No Horizon by Tang Yau Hoong. They are all well designed tees and all a similar style but Tang Yau Hoong’s is still my favorite.

It’s Monday (actually Tuesday where I am) so there are some new tees at Threadless and two in particular that caught my attention. The first is So Long, Old World by Tang Yau Hoong which is a very cool image of a city skyline appearing to disintegrate. It works really well on a t-shirt too.

The next tee is by Ellsswhere and was selected to be part of the Select Series.

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I’ve just been very busy. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the t-shirt world didn’t wait around for me. There has been plenty of activity and I think the announcement of a new winner at Design by Humans DBH10K is big news indeed.

This is a 5th win for Philippines designer, csj89, at Design by Humans and there are surely more to come.

The second place was also taken by a Philippines designer and last years winner Collision Theory. It will be the next t-shirt printed.

Third place went to Tang Yau Hoong for his surreal cityscape. The t-shirt came out very well.

I mentioned itself before so if you are wondering what the hell it(self) is check out this post. They have recently announced their first winner and it is a pretty cool shirt. It is called More Tape? by Tang Yau Hoong who hails from Malaysia. Congrats on being the first ever winner of the itself t-shirt competition!

As you can see below, the design is a very simple but fun concept and even works as a pattern t-shirt. You better get over there quick if you want to get one though as the first batch is a limited print of only 3000 shirts. LOL. $21 and ships from Turkey I believe.
