Concrete Hermit on Sale Items

It's not a secret that Concrete Hermit is one of my favorite shirt stores (and not only) and that's why I'm very excited about the new sale items added at the sale page. Like all Americans I hurt when I buy anything coming from Europe due to the currency exchange rate, so sale pages and sale events like this one never go unnoticed.

Starved T-shirt by Akumu Ink

I'm afraid I'm running out of thing to say about Akumu Ink t-shirts. One after the other these guys deliver totally wearable shirts! This time it's about starved bats attacking their prey. The red color print works exactly how it's supposed to work with the black shirt underlining that the subject of this scene, even though we don't see any, it's always the blood. Thus it immediately gets a spot in my favorite bloody shirts collection. I've said many many times how much I love Akumu Ink and I'll say it one more time, these guys make eye-catching shirts and you'll never go unnoticed wearing one of them.

Rubens Scarelli By Way Of Abduzeedo



Abduzeedo just turned me onto one heck of a t-shirt illustrator. The guys name is Rubens Scarelli hailing from Brazil, and apparently he’s been winning t-shirt competitions of late. I haven’t seen his designs before and I was glad to be introduced to how clean his artwork is.

He’s not afraid to spend some time on a design and create a lot of characters for one single print. The complexity and volume of the artwork isn’t always synonymous with good design. He is able to do both but is also able to keep it simple. That is a talent that many t-shirt designers wish they had but can’t be taught. It’s just one of those things where you either have it or you don’t.

Rubens Scarelli has it.

As I wind down the week and prepare for a glorious three day weekend thanks to Memorial Day, I thought I would leave you with a cool little tee by OriginalFake….

They busted out with an embroidered pocket tee featuring an OriginalFake character climbing out of the pocket. A little clever and very much their style, this one has a chance to be a conversation piece. Enjoy the tee and enjoy your weekend!
