Rock the Kazbah, mechanical reproduction style
The kazbah underground vendor section of Karmaloop is quickly becoming one of my fave places to spot (though sadly there's no international shipping available at the moment, so i can't get any of them myself, fuck that crap) fresh designs , so i thought i'd share some more from there today. merchant Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction does not only have a great-looking logo, but also a fair deal of tasty apparel.
Abe/JFK zip up by Printliberation, AITAOMR, karmaloop. $70
One example of that is this sweet Abe/JFK zip up hoodie designed by Printliberation. Zip ups are an interesting canvas when it comes to print design, because it positively encourages you to do creative things with the split in the fabric. Unlike yesterday's tricky dicky shirt (dude, what's with the dead presidents?), this prez patchwork tackles a couple of the most well-loved leaders in US history, from the i lived with my male friend instead of my wife most of my life, yet no historian dares claim i was gay Abe Lincoln to the so grand i took Marilyn Monroe as a mistress John F Kennedy, effectively erasing the history between them with the pull of a zipper. buy it here.
Fangs tunic by Paul Coors, AITAOMR, karmaloop. $36
Sadly available only in women's sizes (lucky ladies!), Paul Coors' design Fangs is a delicious piece of 1-colour Pop Art simplicity. The print is huge, it looks great, and i'd basically fall in love with any girl wearing it in combination with some suitably dorky glasses (as shown in the above pic). they should do some guys tees too though, not even skinny heroin chick art-rock type guys look god in women's tunics. buy it here.
More scared of you by Tim Gough, AITAOMR, karmaloop. $36
Last up we have More Scared Of You by Tim Gough, an exellent rough-looking anaglyph stereogram type-overprint of a fuzzy cyclops. Cryptozoology is always a great theme for tee designs, and this is no exception... It practically glows on that yellow gold shirt. I'm probably not meant to get this association, but it totally brings back memories of the first miniboss of Dr. Wiley's castle in Mega Man 3. Geek pride, sucka! available here.
