Stitch hoodie

Introducing Stitch! in hoodie form with a couple of extra colour options, as I know not everyone is a fan of white hoodies.  (it doesn't matter what it is, if it's white I get dirt on it!)

I love this design, the Stitch experiment 626 T-shirt was one of my first prints made for myself and I can't believe how popular it's been. Stitch for me is by far the best Disney character out there.

I can't wait to make more items featuring stitch. Experiment 626 - Stitch hoodie in 3 colours. You can find it in the film and TV hoodies section :)

Jake T-shirt

I figured it was about time to bring in some of my Adventure Time inspired designs as t-shirts since the weather is soooo damn gorgeous at the moment!

These character designs have proved to be extremely popular (which is not surprising since Adventure Time is awesome! ) and with the intense heat that has blessed some and cursed others, I would assume no one wants to be wearing a hoodie right now!

So to start us off I have the amazing Jake the dog tshirt. Available in short sleeve in the men's TV and cartoon T-shirts section With more on the way soon :)

Offensive Chemistry

Another design originally found on my Etsy shop has finally returned. The Offensive Chemistry T-shirt!

Something to make you giggle if you know your periodic table. You can take pride in knowing that if you are offended, you must have some sort of education. Which is why its a great geek T-shirt

Made for the Geeks, the Chemists and those who like to just get away with being rude. Fluorine, Uranium, Carbon Potassium T-shirt. The Periodic table of elements will help to translate this one for you if you don't quite get it :)

Toothless T-shirt

The summer is upon us! So while I've been enjoying my ice creams in the sunshine I've been thinking that the Toothless Hoodie design needs to have a Toothless T-shirt version. Because lets face it, a black hoodie in the middle of summer could kill.

So here he is, the Night Fury himself has now been converted to something a bit more bearable for the warmer days! currently only available in the men's fit, let me know if you want the women's or kids one though :)

For the subtle Potterhead

Not really sure why but I always put Harry Potter down as being more of a female heavy fan base, but by now I should know that I'm wrong. I've seen plenty enough male fans, both young and old, to know that Rowling really made something magical (forgive the pun) when she wrote the Harry Potter series.

Originally I only had this Harry Potter T-shirt listed in women's fit, but I've brought in the men's size for anyone who was after a more masculine fit :)

Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and prongs T-shirt, their Animagus silhouettes printed onto a men's short sleeve T-shirt. For a more discrete Harry Potter themed T-shirt. :)

Something for the Atheists

Just a quick update this time. Today's addition to the range is one that has been sat round for a while. For anyone old enough to remember the Intel inside jingle and logo, this one may make you smile. This time its an Atheism T-shirt.

I'm more of an Agnostic myself, but I have a few friends who are Atheists so thought I would bring this one back into the collection. Atheist Inside, powered by logic and reason. 

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 :)

Nanananana BATFAN!

With the recent hype over the Batman vs Superman Dawn of Justice trailer, it seemed the perfect time to bring back a few designs that have been missing from the range and also to introduce a few that I've been meaning to do for a while.

The I'm not saying I'm Batman T-shirt print has been available for some time in the men's style, so I've brought in the hoodie. Sadly its not really a design that works on girls so I'll have to look into a Batgirl version of this soon. But here it is, the I'm not saying I'm batman hoodie.

The Happy Potter and Batman crossover design has also been brought in for the hoodie and women's T-shirt. you can find them here:

My Patronus is Batman T-shirt
My Patronus is Batman Hoodie

Sticking to the Keep Calm theme that so many people seem to adore, this is one that I was asked for years ago but never actually got around to adding into the Etsy shop, so again with it being the perfect time to bring back the Bat, I'll add it in with this update. Keep Calm I'm Batman T-shirt

Even though I do like Batman, I can honestly say I can't be a genuine fan. I never read the comics, only ever watched the animated series. So I have quite a huge lack of knowledge regarding the Batman back story, timeline, allies, villains, crossovers etc. But in recognition of my love for the animated series I thought I'd add this design that many 90's kids will recognise. Batman the animated series T-shirt

Of course since this is meant to be a Batman vs Superman themed post and product upload, it wouldn't be complete without a Superman T-shirt. Now sadly I'm not a Superman fan, he's never interested me. And so its hard to come up with a design that isn't the typical Superman logo. But with a bit of work and inspiration from the trailer, I thought the Superman False God T-shirt would be a nice addition to my collection that would stand out from the typical Superman S print. I also added in a Superman False God hoodie version.

With bats on the brain I've been holding onto my Joker T-shirt design for a while. And although the Joker plays no part in the Batman vs Superman film (as far as I know) there has been much talk on the new Joker; Jared Leto and the recent image that is making its way around the internet. So again with the love for Batman, I'm bringing back the joker T-shirt. For now though only in the men's T-shirt style

And on that note, the next upload may have a few more super hero themed prints thrown in. But I'll be looking to concentrate on adding in more pre-existing designs in their hoodie/T-shirt/men's/womens styles. As usual if there is something you want but can't see, just ask :)

A personal favourite

This weeks reintroduction is a personal favourite of mine, but I must admit one that I have never actually printed for myself, something which I may have to change with a treat. (its always nice having new clothes!)

This particular design came to mind after having seen it a few times when going through my available prints, and with some recent discussion about the Harry Potters studio tour, I thought it was time to get my Potter designs back into my collection. However I thought I would start off with a crossover design, one that really made me laugh. What better way to ward off Dementors than with an awesome Patronus charm in the form of Batman! So this new addition is of course a Harry Potter batman T-shirt

This has been added into the Ebay shop and also here on the site in just the Men's T-shirt for now while I see how it does. I know it had a few sales in its short time on Etsy but that's not to say its going to have the same popularity elsewhere. So depending on its success I may bring out the hoodie and girls version soon.

Next up though is the Harry Potter themed designs that I posted about last year, I'll get them all back up so that they are once again available for purchase so check back soon. :)

Lucky dip. and the winner is ..... The clone troopers!

It's surprising just how much time a new design takes to create and upload to all the different shopping platforms available out there, especially when there are so many variations to take into consideration. It also doesn't help that some of these shopping sites are a bit difficult to navigate, Bonanza currently being my favourite (in terms of awkwardness) in that it only allows you to set up your shop items in dollars, and I can't quite get my head around applying different shipping options. I want to be uploading designs! Not messing around with settings. Ah well, it has to be done.

Anyway onto the next new upload! I say new, it's a design that I had on the Etsy shop that wasn't uploaded to any of my other shops, so for some it might seem new but to me its been sat in my design folder for a while.

Originally I had planned to work down my list that I had set up but then I realised that I have a folder full of prints that haven't been touched for a good while that I should probably look at clearing first. So at random, drawn from the box of ready and waiting designs we have.... (drum roll please)

Oooooooh its a Star wars T-shirt!

Yes I know the "say no to order 66" has been done, But I found that every design (be it desktop wallpaper or clothing) had the traditional Storm trooper helmet design, and I figured for me that Storm Trooper design is not what I associate with the execution of order 66. So I created mine based on the original clone troopers helmet. Clone Trooper Say no to order 66 T-shirt

So this piece is being brought back into the range, as promised in men's, kids and womens in both T-shirt and hoodie.  Available in 3 colours, black, white and charcoal. And also while I'm at it I will also take the time to add in the other variations on the other Star wars designs. 

Suddenly in need of a Star wars marathon weekend. And of course, speaking of clone troopers it had to remind me of this little gif. 

The ones that couldn't make it to Etsy

I thought I'd take a little time to shine some light on a few items I love but can't sell on Etsy since the owners of the characters shouted at me to take them down. These are now available on the mini shop I have here on the blog site, hopefully the big meanies at FOX won't hunt me down with pitchforks.

(I can't help but hear this Marge squirrel voice in my head)

I do think its a real shame that companies such as FOX broadcasting actually hire people to seek out fan made items and threaten legal action against the creator. Makes me think of a story I heard when I worked for my supplier, they had a brand that produced a black T-shirt with two white stripes down the arms, Adidas came along and sued them for millions as they didn't like how close it was to their three stripe design. I wonder if they realise how many people may have lost their jobs because of something so stupid and greedy.

Anyways...

First up, one of my favourites from when I first started out. Popular in both T-shirt and hoodie. This meme may be a little dead these days but even so Futurama is still amazing and one of my favourite animated series,. even if the nasty people at FOX did tell me off. If they come after me with a legal team I'll just attempt my best Zoidberg impression. WHOOOP WHOOOOP WHOOOP WHOOOP WHOOOP!  (I actually can't do it very well at all, good job really I wouldn't want them to sue me for that too) Why not Zoidberg Hoodie and why not zoidberg t-shirt

 

 Need a new T-shirt? Why not Zoidberg?

My other Futurama design that I had to take down from Etsy. Only simple but still good for the Futurama fans. I can almost hear the dragons at FOX taking flight to come seek me out and burn me down. Planet Express T-shirt and planet express hoodie

And the Minecraft creeper T-shirt, even though I'm not a huge fan of Minecraft I have a lot of love for this T-shirt. I didn't have much money at all when I first started out, and this one sold so well that it gave me the money I needed to be able to move back home when a relationship ended. It was a real life saver. However I don't think the owners of Minecraft would understand the sentimental value that comes from selling something I made for their fans. Oh yeah, I made a minecraft creeper hoodie version too.

Lego also shouted at me, but to be honest they still let me sell my design, they just wanted me to change how I use the name lego in my listings. So erm, small change - LEGO also shouted at me* - for not using their brand name correctly, but that's all fixed now. :)  So for the extreme LEGO enthusiasts we have the LEGO creator T-shirt

Lucky me hasn't had much trouble really, but when a message does come through telling me to take down a design it really does suck. I don't think I'm damaging anyone really, and the reason I have created these designs is usually because they are based on something I love, or a friend or family member loves, its a shame I can't share that with others. I thought I'd put the designs here so that Etsy isn't troubled by legal notices (and so they don't close my shop :( ) but if they send me legal notices directly these designs are going to be taken down for good, so get them while you can :)

Studio Ghibli addiction

I'm abandoning far too many LOL games in the champion select lately. There just something irritating about the type of players that seem to be popping up, I really can't be bothered with toxic or ignorant players. Anyway, in my 10 minute wait I decided to go looking for more bits to inspire some new designs. And once again I've fallen for Studio Ghibli and its gorgeous fantasy worlds. Recent design uploads include the following. :)

I always remember seeing a black cat design on a hoodie at an Archery Club that I was once a member of, and of course having loved the fact that Jiji is in indeed Troy McLure, I thought I'd settle for a simple Jiji tshirt. Although now I think about it, I'm going to have to give Jiji a pink Troy McLure style sweatshirt at some point on one of my doodles.

But also in my google image search, the Soot Balls made an appearance. Now I've been looking for a design for one of my favourite grey jumpers for a while now, and I think I have finally found it. So for the Totoro and Spirited Away fans, there's the Sootball slouch jumper.

These, along with the Kodama T-shirt, No Face T-shirt, and Studio Ghibli T-shirt designs are a nice collection for me. But I still need more. I have fallen behind on the Studio Ghibli collection, and sadly still haven't played Ni no kuni. I'm a shame to the SG fan club. I will catch up, and that's a promise to myself I have to keep.

       

Eventually when i can say I am a true Ghibli fan, I will treat myself to a trial of my Spirit of the forest design. But for now, I guess I'll just stick with my grunge style San mask for a Princess Mononoke T-shirt :)
