Sinfully Good Skull T-Shirt

I’l admit that I am not a big fan of skull t-shirts, the dearth of them on The T-Shirt Review is a testament to that fact. This t-shirt though blew me away. This design must have taken a lot of time. Even at a glance you can tell that it is special but when you really take a good look at it and understand the level of complexity and the intricacy you realize how truly impressive this t-shirt is.

The design comes from illustrator and tattoo artist Joby Cummings who kindly explained the design for the T-Shirt Review:

The 7sins shirt was an exercise in letter design conforming to the shape of a skull and making sure all of the words had symbolic placement in the geography of the design.

in the order of the placement..
greed, wrath: left brain, right brain respectively
sloth: in the forehead i always felt that to be the sleepy part of the head
envy: over the eyes leering vision
lust: eyes and nose sight and smell are very sexual
gluttony: mouth
pride: chin

Now that’s a big bowl of awesome. The design is also available as a print and for that he turned his design skills up a notch or three.

You can check out other examples from his nearly 20 years of doing illustrations as well as his tattoo work on jobycummings.com.

T-Shirt Design becomes Tattoo

Have you ever thought to yourself that the design on that t-shirt is so good that I want to have it permanently inked onto my skin as a tattoo? No? You haven’t? Really? No? No. Well, me neither but someone has as and as  you can see in the following photo they chose a super cute design.

The designs are the penguins created by JGoode and sold in a Cafepress store. I think these irresistible penguins are probably some of the most well known items on Cafepress. They are available in a huge range of themes. For example, as you can see below there are penguins for Republicans, Democrats and Independents.

Of course if you are not political you can definitely find something to suit you interests. There is a huge range of these little penguins covering so many areas including sports, hobbies, jobs, families and even some that defy categorization. You have to see them to believe them. Head over to the Lil’ Penguin Shop and choose your very own cute penguin t-shirt. It is also a great place to get Christmas gifts.
