Game of Coins Tee Design Review.

The Game of Coins tee design is for the Game of Thrones fans that grew up watching Ducktales.

The concept for the Game of Coins tee is that Scrooge McDuck sits up his Golden Throne made of Coins while holding his lucky #1 dime. It is based on the Game of Thrones posters featuring characters such as Ned Stark sitting at the Iron Throne (shown below). Not bad for a silly mash up. It is tied together with the phrase "You're Rich or You're Not" (parody of Game of Throne's "You win or you die").

As for the artwork, Scrooge looks as the Disney brand made him with bold colors and great shading which makes everything look right. From shiny gold to fluffy feathers. The only real criticism is that the dime that Scrooge is holding is a bit difficult to see clearly as it blends in with his face.

This shirt is an awesome Ducktales shirt that can be worn at any casual event. The Game of Thrones reference is strong but this tee is definitely more of a Ducktales prize.

Game of Bros. Tee Design Review.

THIS DESIGN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM THIS RETAILER.

The Game of Bros. tee design is for Game of Thrones and Super Mario Bros. fans that can't can't get enough of either.

Keeping your land safe from the white skinned walking dead can be seen as a grueling battle with yourself and the elements, or it can be seen as a game best played with iron and fang. You can always rely on your bros to help you through even the most difficult winter conditions, and when others arrive to take your extra lives it’s time to punch blocks and prepare for the winter coming to your console. Whether you decide to vie for the throne or simply achieve a high score you’re going to need the proper gear to survive the winter, like this Game of Bros. t-shirt by BazNet!

This a cool mashup and one of the better ones for both Super Mario Bros. and Game of Thrones. An 8-Bit Night's Watch if you will as it has enough references to make any fan happy. A Crow, Jon Snow, Ghost, Samwell Tarly, a White Walker and a Stark sigil.

As for the artwork, the coloring consisting of Black, White, Blue, Brown and Peach like Skin tones and winter aspects for the Game of Thrones element and no shading to match the Super Mario Bros. design style.

This Game of Bros. tee would make a great gift for the fans of both franchises. It is like buying them 2 gifts in 1. It will satisfy the GOT fans that grew up playing the old school NES.

WATCHERS OF THE WALL POP IMPRESSIONISM Tshirt Design Worn Ript Apparel Print Quaility Review

The WATCHERS OF THE WALL - POP IMPRESSIONISM T-shirt design is for the Game of Thrones fans that grew up in the 80's.

The concept is simply Jon Snow and his White direwolf Ghost standing on the Ice Wall. It has a Heavy Metal Magazine and a He-Man type blend for the style. Jon seems to have a bit more confidence and somewhat less brooding. Not the intensity burning from that characters' eyes.
As for the artwork, it is different than what you see elsewhere. First, the colors are far less dreary and much more bold. Second, The Pop Impressionism aspect brings a sort of Saturday Morning Cartoon feel to the piece. It is something that I can't really describe to anyone who wasn't alive in the 80's. Without losing that ominous vibe to the Night's Watch. Think Dungeons and Dragons if it was drawn by Simon Bisley or Frank Frazetta.

The E-Blue Auroza XL Gaming Chair Review.

EBlue Auroza Gaming Chair Review

This a review of the E-Blue Auroza XL Gaming Chair. Now you may be asking yourself "Why the #$%* is a T-shirt Blog reviewing a gaming chair". I sure as Hell would be. And some redneck might be thinking "That's a chair not a T-shirt Mo-Ron". Well that person would be correct at least about it a being a chair. Well good news, it is relevant after all. Please keep in mind that this is not a paid review. In fact, I am writing this for free as a favor to graphic designers everywhere who may need to upgrade their seating arrangements.

As a blogger and a graphic designer, I sit at desk in front of a computer 8 + hours a day just working. And then I dabble in some gaming when I am done with my workload. My old chair was cramping my style... literally. My tailbone, spine, and neck all hurt. I finally decided that needed a new chair. So I researched and researched and well you get the idea. Then it finally dawned on me. Gaming chairs! So I looked into such brands as DXRacer, Arozzi, XRocker, Homall, Merax, and so on and so forth. You know the brands that I am familiar with thanks to my gaming friends. I received mixed reviews from them and via strangers on YouTube. I was leaning towards DXRacer but their pricing was well... not in my range as far as the features that I was looking for (regarding armrests) then I seen the E-Blue Auroza Gaming Chair in the recommended videos section. So I watched the YouTube testimonials and then I went to read some Amazon reviews. As a result I decided to give it a go for myself as every review that I could find had nothing but nice things to say about the seat.

Let me start off by stating that I will not show mundane photos of: the box that the chair came in, the parts, or even the setting up of the chair itself. That was all standard and putting it together was a breeze. Instead I am going to describe the chair.

As for the appearance, this to me, is among the coolest looking chairs of all time (it is shaped like a cobra's head), the coolest being the fictional Iron Throne from Game of Thrones. And trust me, this is far more comfortable than a chair made of swords. But it isn't too comfy if you know what I mean. It isn't overly soft and cushioned. Nothing like memory foam or even the standard padding of typical office chairs. It is a bit on the firmer side. The shape is ERGONOMIC as for the contours of the spine and butt, at least more so than my old standard chair and unlike the old one it is made to last. It can support up to 220 pounds. I feel like baby chick cradled in a hand.

I am 1 inch above the average height for a white male. I am 5' 11" and I weigh 165 lbs. After playing around with the height and back angle adjustment levers for a bit, I eventually found a setting that is suitable. There is plenty of room in the seat as to not feel pinched or squeezed in the legs and whatnot.

*Note: Adjust the back to the upright position before adjusting the height of the chair.

With that mentioned, I have mixed feelings about the headrest. Perhaps it is just because I am not used to a high back chair or perhaps I am just sitting in it wrong. I find my self leaning my head forward while working as due to when I sit up straight against the backrest, the headrest doesn't contour to my neck and head. With the seat reclined it is much better. Which is great for gaming but I prefer to sit up when I work, otherwise I'd want to take a nap. So I took away half a comfort star just for the headrest. Consider E-Blue's Cobra models if you feel that you may run into the same issue. Shorter people are not likely to be bothered at all by the headrest.

The padded armrests are fully adjustable except for the fact that there is no tilt back and tilt forward. The height of the armrests however do go up and down and can swivel in and out. All of which can be locked into place. Making it very versatile when it comes to using drawing tablets especially when they are swivel-arm mounted. You might be wondering "What difference could an armrest make?". Well, for starters the cushioning is great on the elbow while holding a pen or stylus. Being able to adjust the arms is just a bonus that makes finding the right position easier. This is perhaps my favorite feature as it does do more than other brands' models but still not quite what I was hoping for.

The base and wheels are made to last. The casters roll smoothly and are fairly quiet when rolling around. You can do a 360 degree spin like in all office and gaming chairs which is smooth with no wobble and the chair stays in one place while doing so.

E-Blue Auroza XL Gaming Chair

Overall, the E-Blue Auroza XL Gaming Chair is worth it as a gaming chair and doubles as decent graphic designer's office chair. In my case it cost $338 which included shipping. I do wish it had an adjustable headrest like in a car seat though which would had put this chair over the top. E-Blue has another version of this Auroza model that is Red and it lights up for an additional $100 but that seems like a waste to me personally.

Trending Tee Design Themes 2016.

Trending Tee Design Themes 2016

So you are wanting to know what tee design themes are trending so you can profit off that data? To determine this we need to look at two important factors. What was popular at the end of 2015? As it is what will set the tone for 2016. And what is coming up in 2016? As that will be what people will be into and searching for.

What was popular that continues over onto 2016 are Political tees (2016 being an election year), science themes, Deadpool, One Punch Man, Rick and Morty and as always Space and Aquatic themes. Game of Thrones designs while a favorite of consumers will be on a decline due to DMCA take down notices. As are Star Wars and Star Trek related themes. But that doesn't stop the craving for Dragons in general.

What is coming up in 2016 will play a big role as to what designs will be demanded and supplied as well. The following movies will have heavy influence such as: Suicide Squad, Deadpool, Doctor Strange, Captain America, X-men (Apocalypse), Zoolander 2, TMNT, Ghostbusters and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children as they are the main pop culture picks that are highly anticipated. Independence Day 2 might also make its way over to indie based designs.

Also trending are designs that mash up different eras, genres or both. While mash ups are always popular with designers, not every mash up concept is a good one. Skulls and Zombies are always trending but the marketplace is flooded with them. Anything to do with aliens is also on the rise. The niche of Snarky and Sarcastic tees looks like it will be a favorite with the young adult crowd. Non pop culture tees are starting to make a comeback such as the artistic and abstract tees with no particular theme.

Hopefully this gives you some idea of what the trending tee design themes will be this year.

North Park Tee Design Review.

THIS DESIGN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM THIS RETAILER.
The North Park tee design is for the Game of Thrones and South Park fans. Even though South Park did a mean parody of Game of Thrones in the Black Friday episode making fun of it (like they do everything else). This mash up parody is just as funny and awesome.

The concept is simply re-imagining the four main South Park kids and their school bus stop with a Night's Watch theme. Of course fatass Cartman is Samwell Tarly, Kyle as a White Walker (the angry eyes is definitely Kyle), Kenny as a corpse and Stan as Jon Snow. The South Park sign has been replaced with a North Park sign for more of a Game of Thrones vibe.

As for the artwork, the style is emulating South Park's style flawlessly. The colors and lack of shading couldn't be a better a match. The layout is taken from any bus stop scene featuring the South Park boys. The way the Game of Thrones character likenesses were applied does both franchises justice. The true to shows' facial expressions make this design what it is, had any of that been changed the design would had sucked. The crappy looking South Park style raven even fits in nicely fora smooth transition.

This North Park tee will make a nice gift for the Game of Throne fans (especially of Jon Snow).

Wear this tee to Comic-Cons and fantasy conventions. This is a fifty fifty mash up so fans of both franchises will be happy to add this to their collections. This probably isn't appropriate as school clothes for children though since both South Park and Game of Thrones are meant for mature audiences.

Is available on T-shirts, Hoodies, Tank tops, Posters, Dog T-shirts and Crewnecks. As for the fabric color options there are many choices but no Black for this particular design. The review breakdown is as follows:

Throne Wars Tee Design Review.

THIS DESIGN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM THIS RETAILER.
The Throne Wars tee design is for the Game of Thrones and Star Wars fans.

The concept is like half parody and half mashup. In this, the Game of Thrones characters are spoofing the Star Wars episode 4: A New Hope movie poster (shown below). Ravens fly above instead of tie fighters. Jon Snow is holding up a Longclaw with a burst or glow coming from it while Daenerys Targaryen has the red dragon perched on her finger. Bronn and Tyrion Lannister are replacing the Droids in the background. The Night's King is the shadowy face in space instead of Darth Vader's trademarked helmet. The location is the Wall but the foreground has a desert like rock which seems a little out of place considering the Wall.

As for the artwork, it is superb. The colors are vivid and the shading is better than most of the New Hope parodies and mash ups.

This Throne Wars tee will make a nice gift for the Game of Thrones fans. Even some Star Wars fans would appreciate it.

Like most of the designs on this site, it would make a great Comic-Con shirt.

Throne Wars Tee Design by evolvingeye.
Is available on T-shirts, Hoodies, Tank Tops, Sweatshirts, Long Sleeves, Dog T-shirts. Black, Charcoal and Navy are the fabric colors are available. Black is really the best and only real choice for a good looking tee, Navy would look rather retro and is second best. Charcoal makes the design look faded according to the thumbnails.

Pleased To Meet You Tee Design Review.

THIS DESIGN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM THIS RETAILER.
The Pleased To Meet You tee design is for the Game of Thrones and Star Wars fans that geek out over both of the franchises equally.

The Pleased To Meet You tee design concept is simply drawing on the many parallels between Luck Skywalker and Jaime Lannister. In this design the two meet rather awkwardly. So WARNING SPOILER ALERT! First off, both strapping young lads have a thing for their own sisters. Second, both men have major daddy issues. Those may not be evident in this design but it part of the pairing. Third, they are both of noble blood. Fourth, both are trained swordsmen. Fifth, they both lose a hand. Finally(?), they both go through trials that shape their character for the better.

As for the artwork, it is sketchy but solid. The characters look kind of like statues minus some stone textures as the coloring is flat with the skin and clothing being the same color for each character. There is some minor shading and the likeness of each would definitely give away who is who even without the exchanged names (dialogue).

While this tee is awesome, I hope to see a more detailed version of this design in the future by RicoMambo. The concept is a very layered mash up and is respectful to both franchises.

This is a must have tee for fans of both franchises.

Knowledge Rules Tee Review.

THIS DESIGN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM THIS RETAILER.
The Knowledge Rules tee design is for the Breaking Bad,The Big Bang Theory and Game of Thronesfans and anyone who likes or gets the "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly" reference as well.

This concept is a parody of "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly" only with who knows what from other franchises. Walter White aka Heisenberg of Breaking Bad "Knows Chemistry", Dr. Sheldon Cooper of The Big Bang Theory "Knows Physics" and the bastard Jon Snow "Knows Nothing". I must say that it is cool as Hell to have these four completely different fandoms all on one tee. The theme of Knowledge is the only way that I could see it done too so kudos RicoMambo.

As for the artwork, while the layout is derivative, the art features monochromatic green portraits with awesome shading provide great character likenesses based on actual video stills. Each franchise's text is also done in their own stylized title fonts.

Like other Breaking Bad or even Game of Thrones tees. I wouldn't recommend it as a school garment as it's not appropriate for kids.

Wear this tee to a Comic-Con or wherever you'd like to stir up a conversation about any of the shows.

Knowledge Rules Tee Design by RicoMambo.
Is available on T-shirts, Hoodies, Long Sleeves, Sweatshirts and Dog T-shirts. Black, Dark Chocolate and Navy are the fabric color options, which is appropriate but Black is really the best choice. The review breakdown is as follows:

Go Home Hat You’re Drunk Tee Design Review.

THIS DESIGN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM THIS RETAILER.
The Go Home Hat You're Drunk tee design is for Harry Potter Fans fans and to a lesser extent fans of Game of Thrones.

The Go Home Hat You're Drunk tee design concept is that Harry Potter belongs in House Stark of Game of Thrones. It is rather amusing. I actually laughed out loud for a good seven seconds or so when I first seen it. The idea itself is brilliant.

As for the artwork, The illustration and coloring is nice. However there are two things that might bother some people. First, there is one tiny dot out form Harry's elbow that is just there, so CREAM is the best color for this design. No one else would notice it. Second, the spotlight is weird looking with the edges on both sides being asymmetrical and well... lazy. The shading isn't consistent either. Again, probably no one but me pays this much attention to the details in t-shirt designs. It is a bit weird to see a House Sigil inside a dialogue balloon instead of words.

Game of Thrones fans and some Harry Potter fans would want this tee in their collection, especially if they like of both franchises.

Go Home Hat You're Drunk Tee Design by Lithium.
Is available on T-shirts, Tank Tops, Hoodies, Long Sleeves, Sweatshirts and Dog T-shirts. There are many fabric color choices available. However this is one of the rare occasions when the choices should be limited. It actually looks better on the lighter colors such as CREAM for reasons mentioned in the art critique above. So seriously take that into consideration if you get this design. The review breakdown is as follows:
