Uneetee What a LuZr tee: say what you feel

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

We like this snarky tee which uses two elements of the periodic table to make a clear statement. Kinda punny, kinda geeky, kinda perfect. Screened by artist Mark Sagherian on a chocolate brown 100% cotton tee from American Apparrel, this print is a limited edition.

Banana Republic windowpane-check western: Banana Cowboy

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

I’m not sure what kind of Cowboy would be caught shopping at the Banana Republic…perhaps a Banana Cowboy snark snark chuckle chuckle. Here is a “hot as a whorehouse on nickel night” western style shirt made from 100% cotton, and perhaps ready to wear out when you are lookin’ to “make a mash” on that fine filly down at the dance hall. It has all the traditions of the western shirt and a nice wide plaid print. Feel free to click the link and grab some Western Slang to annoy the hell out of your co-workers today, me? I’m off to grab me some “Bear sign”.

Eduardo Milieris Copper Spiral Porthole: Steampunk watch

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

This jawdropping watch from Eduardo Milieris will certainly appeal to those of you with a taste for things combining old and new. The distressed oxidized copper gives this watch both an old fashion worn look along with some beautiful color. This is a limited edition 1000 with a hand painted face. The watch comes medium in size with extra links for those with…big wrists. This one actually comes in women’s sizes as well as mens.

Custom Industries Qilin tee: Chinese Unicorn

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

Check out the Chinese version of the unicorn - Qilin! They tend to look like a cross between a dragon and something with hooves and antlers, though interpretations vary. Custom Industries has many great Eastern inspired prints, and includes a synopsis of each one to help you understand some of the story behind the print. We like this cranberry colored cotton shirt with a bold white print of a fanciful Qilin. Don’t cross this serene creature, or you shall pay by fire!

Supermaggie Cicadas: It’s hot and they are the buzz

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

Anyone who lives in a southwestern desert can probably tell you what a Cicada is. As soon as it get’s up around 100º you’ll here the mating call of the swarms of large males. Here is a nice print from Supermaggie of the large critters, on a 100% cotton shirt (which apparently runs alittle small). I have provided some interesting info here from wiki on the Cicada sound…I always thought it was their wings…wrong again!

Cicadas are unique in sound-producing insects in that they have a musical drum in their abdomen. The organs that produce sound are ‘tymbales‘ ~ paired membranes that are ribbed and located at the abdominal base. Contracting the internal tymbal muscles yield a pulse of sound as the tymbals buckle inwards. As these muscles relax, the tymbals return to their original position. The interior of the male abdomen is substantially hollow to amplify the resonance of the sound. The song intensity of the louder cicadas acts as an effective bird repellent. Males of many species tend to gather which creates a greater sound intensity and engenders protection from avian predators.

Project E Women’s Panther Stencil Tee: Big Cat!

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

We like this angry, well-muscled panther haloed on a sweet pink and yellow elbow length tee for the ladies. This 50/50 cotton poly blend tee has both a charming, feminine summer palette and big cat style front and center. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Monday, June 25th, 2007

With a plunging V neckline, longer cut, and a multiptude of lightning bolts caught in the act of striking this is one dramatic tee! Being from the southwest, this print really brings to mind the season of the monsoons and the beauty of rain in the desert. I’ll be ready when the lightning comes!

Erica Gordon Checker Belt: Steel and style

Monday, June 25th, 2007

This belt is a real departure from the ordinary black and brown we all have cluttering up our belt drawer. The hand forged steel and patinated (from patina, oxidated surface color) buckle is really tough and somewhat retro looking. The buckle comes in either square or rectangle depending on whether or not you are…a square or a rectangle kinda human, if you’re a circle, piss off apparently. The leather belt is hand dyed in nice bright colors, guaranteed to spice up even the most drab outfit.
