Ropeadope Delivers (t shirts, that is)

Here's another tree tee with a bit of a twist. It's by Ropeadope (love the name) and it's available at Always Urban.

Sure it's kinda bright, but my wardrobe needed a little color anyway. Besides; trees, offcenter print that goes from front around to the back... they made this one just for me.

Although the fact that I have no artistic ability includes that of the musical variety - the piano keys work really well here - at least in MY head.

Ropeadope has a nice little collection of t shirts brewing. They have 10 t shirts available, and I would buy 8 of them without hesitation. I hope they keep it up.

The one above is called "Keys T-shirt" and if you want it, you just have to pony up $22.

I spent a good 25 minutes cruising the t shirts site for something to reach out and grab me. Either I'm in a bad mood - or all the sites seem to have a lot of the same totaly played out stuff.

At minute 25, while at NoiseBot.com I came across this little number...

It apparently offered me the slightly twisted viewpoint I was craving today.

Incase the print is too small - it says "Push Button, Receive Bacon" - proving once again just how difficult it is to find just the right icon for slightly abstract thoughts like heat.

At $16.95 this bacon t shirt is a keeper.

So, the photo t shirt is usually reserved for Bob's Retirement Party, with a less than flattering photo of Bob sleeping at his desk, snapped by Ernie in accounting on his kid's digital camera .... or you know, one with all the grandkids for Grandma ... or Bill's first birthday. All good uses for the photo t shirt - but let's face it ... not for everyone.



Enter Oh Snap!





Take some great photography, by real artists and put those on a shirt. Sure it's been tried before with limited success, but keep an eye out for these folks. The shirts are killer.



Not even on the market yet they are creating a wonderful buzz. And why not? They have certainly taken the photo concept to the next level. What's the catch? You can't buy 'em. At least not yet. They will go on sale to retail outlets with a wholesale price of , I think, $15. That means you can expect to score one when they come available for $30 and up. Well worth it if you ask me.



If you need great tees for your store, I suggest you meet up with these folks in Vegas later this month.



Real art on a t-shirt. Loving it.
