Pipes N Castles Tee Design by In Stank We Trust.

Pipes N Castles Tee Design Review.

The Pipes N Castles tee design is for the Super Mario Bros. fans that listened to Guns N' Roses during their gaming session.

The concept is an alright mash up. If you can imagine Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad and Bowser as a heavy metal band. It's not the best nor the worst Guns N' Roses album cover parody or mashup by any means. And there are many out there. But it hits all of the requirements needed for the concept to work. All of the main characters from Super Mario Bros. video games have their skulls on a cross which replace the skulls of the Guns N' Roses band members. Instead of the title "Appetite for Destruction" in the bottom banner it has "Appetite for Jumping" which is somewhat humorous.

As for the artwork, it is simple and cartoonish. It is definitely closer to the Super Mario Bros. drawing style than it is to the edgier Guns N' Roses album art. It lacks some of shading aspects that GNR's artwork had but that just plays into the NES territory.

If this was a real album or even a video game soundtrack, Welcome to the Warpzone would probably be one of the songs.

This is a fun design that metal heads and Nintendo fans would appreciate.

Armored Maiden Tee Design by Ninjaink.

Armored Maiden Tee Review.

The Armored Maiden tee design is for the Metroid fans that dig the awesomeness of the metal band Iron Maiden.

So instead of the band name "Iron Maiden" there is "Armored Maiden" which is making use of the actual definition of the term "Maiden". The concept is cool and much like the Galactic Empire tee and it makes a much better mash up or parody of Iron Maiden's The Trooper than say the Skeletor version (which isn't bad) or the Mars Attacks version.

Iron Maiden The Trooper Album Cover

As for the artwork, it is epic. It features Samus Aran instead of Eddie and the substituted flag has the breast sigil of Samus's Zero suit instead of the Union Jack. It has the "The Hunter" as the album name instead of the original "The Trooper" which is parodying. Other game elements replace the rest of the album cover such as her crashed ship in place of the canon and various enemies instead of the Grim Reaper in the bottom right corner. All mirroring their counterparts perfectly. The shading and coloring is masterfully done as is expected from Ninjaink.

This Armored Maiden tee will make a nice gift for the Nintendo and Metroid fans. Plus it is available in kid sizes so they won't miss out on this sci-fi and rock legend tribute.

This is a good gamer shirt that fits in anywhere such as Comic-Con or to rock concerts.

GALACTIC EMPIRE THE TROOPER Tee Design by Mark Welser

GALACTIC EMPIRE THE TROOPER Tee Review.

The Galactic Empire The Trooper tee design is for Star Wars fans that dig the awesomeness of the metal band Iron Maiden.

So instead of the band name "Iron Maiden" there is "Galactic Empire" which is fitting. The concept is great. It makes a much better mash up or parody of Iron Maiden's The Trooper than say the Skeletor version (which isn't bad) or the Mars Attacks version. As it actually has parallels with the "trooper" concept with a Stormtrooper carrying a Galactic Empire Flag in place of Eddie as The Trooper carrying the Union Jack (Shown below). It is definitely one of the best three Iron Maiden derived mash ups that I have seen. At least in the pop culture tee circuits.

Iron Maiden The Trooper Album Cover

As for the artwork, it is beautifully done. To simplify things Mark used a circle to keep the focus on the Stormtrooper rather than the battlefield. Thus eliminating a lot of busy background elements that were in Iron Maiden's actual album cover. While it is difficult to be as badass as Iron Maiden's original cover art, Darth Vader makes an appearance in the corner instead of the Grim Reaper. Thus, bringing it up to par. The coloring, shading, and style is a nice blend of the Star Wars comic books and the album art. Which makes the design work. There is another version of this same concept done by someone else that is just terrible at all three (show below).

Cas Zeppelin Tee Design

Cas Zeppelin Tee Design Review.

The Cas Zeppelin tee design parodies and pays homage to Led Zeppelin's famous Swan Song logo (shown below) by substituting their angel with Cas's likeness instead (shown above). Which is appropriate as Rock is the music of choice and tone of the Supernatural series. Thanks to the Dean character.

Led Zeppelin-Swan Song

Of all the Supernatural fan shirts out there, this one has to on the top 3. No stupid mashups that make no sense just for the sake of making a mashup here. For that, DiHa is nothing short of brilliant.

As for the artwork, it has great colors. As previously mentioned, it is a parody/homage so the design layout is obviously right on the money. But it looks even better than the original version, if that is even possible. Less busy.

This Cas Zeppelin tee will make a great gift for Supernatural and Led Zeppelin fans, without any complaints.

This design is ideal to wear to rock concerts or while watching Supernatural obviously.

Ancient Rock Tee Design by dudesign.

Ancient Rock Tee Design Review.

The Ancient Rock tee is for the rockers who love to bang their heads and historic-fiction fans. Aside from the depicted generic band, there are references to The Rolling Stones, Kiss, AC/DC, Guns N' Roses and as well at the top of the design.

See this is an awesome concept for a tee. Symbols used properly meaning that everyone can interpret or at least get the gist of things. Granted it is not 6,000 years from now in the year 8015 A.D. with people trying to translate what the hell the guitar and drum set are supposed to be. But assuming that people continue to have music and instruments in the future they should be able to understand what is shown here. Even if it is just a tee made for the audience of today. Music is universal and timeless and that is the point of this design.

This artwork by dudesign is a great nod and spoof to the Ancient Egyptian style. The side profile view of the people and whatnot matched the Egyptian art perfectly. Check out the green mohawk. YAY! For time mashups!

The Ancient Rock design is ideal for wearing concerts and museums.
