I came from nothing

I came from nothing is the name of a t-shirt brand that interests me hardly at all. I’m not into zombies on tees as you may realize from the lack them on The T-Shirt Review. They do seem to be popular but they are just not my bag. This store seems to sell t-shirts that would be suitable for the kids clothing section in a discount store at Halloween and only then. I have seen quite a few of these type of t-shirts and I would say that while I admit that the designer(s) in I came from nothing have ability they are far from the best I have seen.

Two t-shirts did stand out though. One of course is instantly recognizable as a Wotto creation and it is my favorite tee in the store.

This next t-shirt below, I admit that I don’t really like it but the design work is very cool. The colors and the illustration are not something that works for me on a shirt but the ferocity of the panda is almost tangible. I would imagine that this tee may even give some kids nightmares.

From what I can see, there are 17 different t-shirts available all at £20 a pop and the store is hosted by Big Cartel. Check out I Came From Nothing for all your Halloween tee desires.

Apart from the tees I think the store needs a lot of work. There is no logo to speak of. There are tons of links (aka leaks) leaving the store to places like Twitter and MySpace. I think it’s cool to have the links but they shouldn’t really be a part of the menu. The menu is for navigation of a site and if done well will keep people there. This store is just begging people to leave the store which is not really something you should be doing. You never hear of bricks and mortars stores hiring deejays to play across the street or around the corner from their stores.

New Skull Tee at LaFraise

As you have probably figured out by now if you are a regular reader of this blog, I am not all that interested or impressed by skull tees and that explains their general absence from my posts. Today though I came across a new t-shirt at laFraise called Psycho and Candy that is an amazing piece of work. It’s colorful and fun and I even forgive it for throwing in the zombie hands. (Not a fan of the zombie tees either.) Anyway, check it out.

The Big Lebowski T-Shirts

I have to admit that The Big Lebowski is one of my favorite movies. It is one of those movies that I can watch over and over. I can even watch parts of it and still enjoy it. So I decided to get a collection of Lebowski t-shirts together. The first two are from Zazzle and while there are many versions of Little Lebowski Urban Achiever T-Shirts floating around this one is quite fun. The second is a great spoof of a Leonardo DaVinci sketch although I wonder if DaVinci would have been amused.

I love this picture of the Jesus (not to be confused with Christ) licking the bowling ball. Jesus played by John Turturro was one of the greatest characters in the movie. The second is of course John Goodman who played one of his more menacing roles and still managed to be funny.

The first t-shirt here is a crude one from Deez Teez. Needs no explanation and last but certainly not least is a zombie version of the Big Lebowski crew humorously entitled Dawn of the Dude. You can find it and some other great shirts over at Go Ape Shirts.
