Pokemon Go themed T shirts and hoodies!

Well it had to be done. Pokemon Go wasn't even available in the UK, but as soon as I saw someone post about it being released in the US, I had to have it. And of course in less than 24 hours my boyfriend has declared himself as my rival. I took Charmander, he took Squirtle, we've joked about using a bicycle indoors, it was a great day.

If you haven't already downloaded Pokemon Go to your smart phone, I suggest you get on it as soon as you can, as everyone is already taking over the local Gyms and out leveling you! Haha, seriously I can spend all day on this and there are still players that are miles ahead. It's unreal. But yes for anyone who lives in a country where Pokemon Go has not yet been released, just do a google search for the apk file, you will soon be out catching them all! But of course have patience, the servers have issues from time to time, Niantic are still working out the bugs. (I think the English players who snuck on before the official release may have caused a few!)

I must say I'm having great fun with it though, it is a fantastic fitness app. I've never wanted to walk everywhere so badly! But of course it's early days for the game yet, there is so much that could be done with it and its nice to see how it's bringing people together. But don't forget guys, everyone needs to play safe. Be aware of your surroundings and don't be chasing Pokemon down dark alleys in the middle of the night, there has already been reports of muggings involving Pokemon Go. Play smart and play safe, more importantly don't let it rule your life. Resist playing in work/school or you could end up in major trouble.

So the release of Pokemon Go has inspired me to pull up a few of my Pokemon T shirts and add them to the gamer hoodie section! I don't know about where you are but here in our part of the UK the summer has been especially rainy, so my hoodies haven't really been packed away. Just sort of been included in the "summer" wardrobe. Such sad times, I really am a summer loving geek so all this rain is very disappointing.

No matter though! An old favourite is the Charizard T shirt! One of the original first generation of Pokemon, this big guy was so popular but at such a great cost. Starting pokemon Red/Blue with Charmander meant you were basically playing Pokemon in hard mode!

So from the Charizard T shirt I have decided to add into the pokemon clothing range, a Charizard hoodie.

Now maybe you were like me all those years ago, and when Pokemon yellow was released, you had to have it. Even though it was just a copy of Red and Blue, you needed to have Pikachu as your starter Pokemon right? I know! But I totally evolved mine into a Raichu. So in honour of that cute little Pokemon mascot, I give you the Pikachu hoodie.

From starters to legendary's, I can't begin to tell you how much I love Mew. The amount of times I cheated the game so that I could have Mew, even as my starter Pokemon! Pink, cute, catlike, floaty and OP as hell! I think I might actually be the person who goes out of their way to some event across the other side of the country to be able to catch a Mew.  Mew was actually one of my first T shirts for Etsy when I was still up and running a shop on there. I never actually brought the Mew T shirt into either the Ebay shop or my web store, so I thought in honour of Pokemon Go's release, I would bring back the Mew T shirt.

As a little something new for myself, I also decided to create an Ancient Mew T shirt. Ancient Mew is something I remember from the very first Pokemon Movie. The one and only Pokemon movie I ever saw. But back them when it was released to the big screen, if you bought a cinema ticket to see it you got given a promotional Pokemon card, one of which was Ancient Mew, and I happened to get one. Sadly though I sold it off on ebay a long time ago, but I still loved the artwork for it. So on a special heather purple T shirt, printed in gold print, an Ancient Mew t shirt.

Back to Pokemon Go itself though, I thought I would try and get in early on those who are really appreciating their roles as Gym leaders. If you really want the world to know that the only reason you are outside today is to catch Pokemon, (or hatch that Poke Egg of course) then why not go for a Pokemon Team T shirt? Currently available in men's T shirt (with womens t shirts soon to follow) I have the Pokemon Go Team Valor T shirt, Pokemon Go Team Mystic T shirt, and Pokemon Go Team Instinct T shirt.

I'll hopefully have the Pokemon Go Team T shirts available in women's sizes this weekend. But do check back on the Anime hoodie section too as I'll be adding these in as Pokemon Go Team hoodies as soon as I can.

Haunter has evolved into... oh god don't let it eat my dreams!

This addition to the collection is another tribute to the original 151 Pokemon that came from the first generation games Red and Blue. Many of us will remember how hard it was a child to find someone with a link cable to trade with you to get this awesome ghost type Pokemon.

Currently available in women's T-shirt, I give you Gengar, Pokemon number 94! Perfect for kicking Gym leader Sabrina and her psychic Pokemon's asses!

The Gengar T-shirt has been added to the women's Anime and manga T-shirts section, and also the women's gamer tshirts section since Game Freak introduced us to this awesome ghost type in the first place!

One Punch Man

ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH!

This manga/anime is amazing. go watch it. I don't care if you don't like reading subtitles.

Saitama is the hero we all need. So powerful, he can end a fight with one punch. But that is the start of his frustrations as a hero. If you too roll your eyes at your usual lengthy character back story you get with every anime character, you will love One Punch Man.

Its been a long time since I had a series I had to watch week by week, and felt so much frustration in having to wait for the next episode. This has been one of the best anime's I've found so far. So of course I had to make something for it. Fan's will (hopefully) recognise the clenched fist and text from the anime's opening sequence.

One Punch Man hoodie. Available in black and Yellow (if you think you can pull it off like Saitama himself) The One Punch hoodie has been added to the Anime hoodies section of the site, and shall hopefully make it's way into the Anime T-shirts section soon :)

Need a Philosophers stone?

I still have a lot of love for Fullmetal Alchemist, it really has to be the best anime I have seen so far (Brotherhood of course) and considering it is my favorite, there are still a few designs I have in mind that I want to do for it.

Today's is going to be the Human Transmutation Circle hoodie, well known by fan's of the manga and anime series as one of the key parts of creating a Philosophers stone.

Originally I tried to include the text in the design, but to be honest it ends up so small it looks like a mushy mess, so I'll just have to keep those magic words to myself until I can find a finer print method.

Fullmetal Alchemist Human Transmutation Circle hoodie. Now available on the Zen-oh-tee store under the anime and manga hoodies section  :)

Jiji the cat

Delving back into the Etsy pot once again, Studio Ghibli fans may appreciate my Jiji T-shirt! The lovable black cat from Kiki's delivery service.

I always find it a bit weird to watch with English dubbing, mainly because Jiji is voiced by Phil Hartman. A well known voice in The Simpsons. All i can hear is Troy McLure.

Anyway, the Jiji T-shirt returns to the range in the women's Anime clothing section. :)

Elfen Lied

Finally expanding on my love for anime and manga again. This one happens to be one of my favorite anime's, but once again I've not yet read the manga which I  believe is quite different.

Originally only available as the Elfen Lied women's vest top, I've brought this design over into the hoodies section of my range. I'm not sure how many male fans there are out there of Elfen Lied, but I know I've neglected them for a while. Much to my disappointment there really isn't much merchandise out there for Elfen Lied, so I made my own. So here it is, the Elfen Lied Hoodie

This design is truly unique to me and my Zen Oh Tee range, inspired by the hand (or vector) print Lucy left on Kurama's back in the first episode, and the title taken from one of the dvd box sets, this design is now available in either black or charcoal in the adults hoodie range, and can be found in the Anime and manga hoodies section :)

Bleach

A brand new addition this time as I begin watching an anime series that for me is brand new. Bleach has been around for some time and is quite a popular anime, with the many suggestions I've had from people to give it a try, I'm currently almost at the end of the first series.

As usual I never seem to have enough time for my love for anime and manga. But since I've taken quite a shine to this one I thought I'd get my first Tshirt out there for it. So here it is, the Bleach logo T-shirt

The bleach logo, currently available in men's short sleeve tshirt in 3 colours. Watch this space as I'm sure i will soon have more as the series continue for me, but for now you can find the Bleach T-shirt in the men's Anime and manga T-shirts section :)

FMA womens T-shirt

From one of my favourite anime and manga series of all time, the Edward Elric hoodie has had its design brought I to the women's anime and manga tshirts section of the range. 

Again with the summer upon us its about time I introduced some of the hoodie designs in ranges that will help to beat the heat. So today's is the Fullmetal Alchemist T-shirt

Flamel's cross printed in black onto red, or white onto black in a women's short sleeve tshirt.

Laughing Man - Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex T-shirt

With the recent news of the Ghost in the Shell live action film due in 2017 staring Scarlett Johansson, I thought it was time to arrange for the return of the Laughing Man T-shirt that was previously available on Etsy.

Some of you may know Ghost in the Shell from its first film in 1995, that was said to have inspired a few ideas for the Matrix story, but if you haven't seen it yet I thoroughly recommend you watch the series - Stand Alone Complex. This for me was a fantastic watch and much better than just watching the film (and its sequel) alone.

For those of you that do know the Stand Alone Complex series, you'll be sure to recognise the Laughing Man logo, which was a story featured in a few episodes throughout the series. With the quote - I thought what I'd do is pretend I was one of those deaf mutes. The men's Laughing Man T-shirt can be found in the anime and manga T-shirt section.

Fairy Tail two tone hoodie

Another anime that I've recently become a bit hooked on is none other than Fairy Tail.

Although I was not convinced when I began watching it, I have to admit I've been converted before even having finished the first season. This is the anime that I should have had as a kid! It seems like a sort of cross between Full Metal Alchemist and the Pokemon/Digimon styles of anime. Its a little repetitive and recycles a lot of footage and catchphrases, but so far its got a sort of charm and of course the adult humor that makes it unique and lovable.

Anyway, while I have been gorging myself on episodes as the days go by I thought I should put together a Fairy Tail hoodie that I had in mind for it.

This Fairy Tail hoodie featuring the guild logo has contrasting draw cords and inner hood lining to match the guild logo itself. And not only that, this one is unique too, the Fairy Tail logo is soft, made of a flock material (similar to the print used on my Sootball jumper and Totoro hoodie) so its even more special compared to any other Fairy Tail hoodie I've seen.

Anyway I've kept to a small amount of colours for now that are inspired by Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Grey and Erza, but there are more options available. As you may or may not know by now, each of my items is hand made and made to order, so if you want a different colour, just ask :)

Immortal Object T-shirt

Its been a while since I added in a new item to the range that is genuinely brand new for me, so today as a special treat for me (as a break from the admin side of doing accounts and standardising product listings) I've brought in another Anime/Manga based design inspired by one of my recent anime binges. This time a Sword Art Online T-shirt

For anyone who is familiar with or a fan of Sword Art Online, you may know of the icon or status known as "Immortal Object" that was first introduced with Yui. Best way to cheat an MMO? set your character to Immortal Object status. Easily done with my Immortal Object T-shirt

I wanted to do more with Sword Art Online as a theme. Although its not my favourite anime, it does have a certain appeal since I am a regular MMO player myself. I've thought about printing the fairy wings introduced in Alfheim onto the back of some hoodies, but I'm not really sure how popular it would be, personally I preferred the SAO world to the Alfheim one, but I'm still yet to see series 2. If you think the wings are a good idea let me know, and I'll get straight on it :)

Attack on Titan items

As promised it is finally here. I made my 100th store item my Attack on Titan hoodie that I had been working and waiting on for weeks now. I must say I'm quite pleased with the results, Having switched from a plain old green colour to a vintage green hoodie, I think its turned out pretty well. This one was going to go straight on sale but my other half pinched it the moment he saw it.

The design itself is a little tricky with my printing method as usually I have to do one colour at a time, unless I restrict the design to a4 size which I really didn't want to with this one. It means lining up everything and hoping it all still fits together after the material gets pulled and stretched. But I'm used to this sort of thing by now so luckily it was no problem :)

      

With the difficulty in mind I was playing around with some of the ideas I'd had for the print, I wanted to try and do the logo with a sort of bloodied up effect to make it a bit more interesting than some of the other t-shirt out there. And success, another Attack on Titan T-shirt addition to the range that I'm super happy with.

   

For something a bit more basic I also added in an Attack on Titan T-shirt with the scouting legion emblem printed as an outline on the front.

Really can't wait to see the next series, and the live action film I'm hoping will be amazing. If you havent watched the latest trailer you can see it here.

With AOT being such a popular anime and manga series, this is going to have to be done well. But it seems that already there are a lot of changes from the original manga. Either way, still can't wait.

I understand I've concentrated solely on the survey corps logo, mainly because it is the military division that the series is centered around, but if anyone wants to see the Garrison or Military Police logos done in similar styles then just say so!

Shop updates

I's been a while since my last post, but I thought it was about time I put something together. New items have been delayed while I wait for my clothing supplier to get stock of the colours I want to use, so for now I've been updating the shop.

All items are now sorted into categories so things should be much easier to find, although sadly it makes my little shop look so empty! I will have to fix this.

Also some new photos will be available to give a better idea of how items turn out when printed. Bonanza seems to make a big deal over how you should have as many images as possible. So I've started to include some shots that show the true face of some of the items that have gold, silver and glitter prints.

Speaking of Bonanza, lots more of my items have been added to the Bonanza shop finally. Had a huge hiccup where Bonanza kept on reducing the postage price down by the exchange rate. For anyone who has this issue, switch your currency to dollars and all will be fixed ;)

Anyway I thought I would make a small announcement on whats coming up soon. As you may have seen on the facebook page I'm really looking forward to listing my Attack on Titan hoodie! Along with a T-shirt version featuring the scouts logo.

Dragonball Z capsule corp hoodie on the way, and I'm hoping to reintroduce some of my other DBZ based designs.

Pokemon! I have some photos now of the small collection of Pokemon T-shirts I had on Etsy, so I'll be bringing those back soon.

There is still lots more to get brought back into the shops, once my supplier sorts out their current issues anyway! But these are just the few I have lined up at the moment. Can't wait :)
