Brain Invaders Tee Design by Naolito.

Brain Invaders Tee Design Review.

The Brain Invaders tee design is for Futurama fans and those that have fond memories of arcade games.

The Brain Invaders concept is a mash up that includes the 80's child Philip J. Fry. He is playing the Space Invaders arcade game (with the Planet Express Ship "Bessie" shown on the bottom) as a space invader is attached to his head like a Brain Slug. The Brain Slugs being a reoccurring character/creature thoughout the Futurama series. On a deeper level it pokes fun of how people are mind controlled in a hypnotic trance like state when playing video games or even while watching television.

As for the artwork, the style is not that of Futurama but rather it is reimagined in some other cartoon style that uses Black eyes. The coloring is nothing short of awesome and is Futurama appropriate. The shading is decent as well with light from the screen shining on Fry's face.

This Brain Invaders tee sums up Fry's generation well. This design is funny and suitable as a Futurama tee as any Earthican would agree.

I Want To Be Alive Tee Design by Raffiti.

I Want To Be Alive Tee Design Review.

The I Want To Be Alive tee design is for South Park fans that enjoy watching the X-Files.

This concept based on the character Kenny McCormick and his tendency to get killed in the episodes and the "I Want To Believe" poster that could be seen in "Spooky" Fox Mulder's F.B.I. office. It is also the title of the second feature film installment of the X-Files franchise. As morbid as the concept is, it is based on humor and from the character's point of view, it is a true statement. That makes it a good T-shirt design.

I Want To Believe Poster X-files Mulder's Office

So the artwork is pretty much a straight rip of the actual cartoon character of Kenny, at least I can't see any changes. Therefore, critiquing the art is pointless. The evil and glowing Red eyes on the black vulture thing is a nice touch. Like the other parodies, the "I Want To Believe" concept makes the design funny and worthy as a shirt. Not the actual artwork itself. Because Kenny dying or not wanting to is nothing new and no longer entertains us. This design makes the concept funny again even if only for a brief moment. There are many parodies and mash ups of the I Want To Believe poster and they are usually not worth a damn. But this one is strikes a chord with the cleverness and play on words. It has nice colors and no shading.

This I Want To Be Alive tee would make a great gift for fans who like the X-Files and South Park equally well.

This is a great shirt to wear to a Comic-Con or wherever geekdom can be found.

Bad Girls Go To Arkham Tee Design by UrsulaLopez.

Bad Girls Go To Arkham Tee Design Review.

The Bad Girls Go To Arkham tee design is for the Harley Quinn fans.

The concept is to show Harleen Quinzel's (Harley Quinn) mugshot acting as one would imagine that she would with her tongue sticking out. This idea has been done a few times and this is one of the better ones available. The text on the design reads "Good Girls go to Heaven Bad Girls go to Arkham." which is playful and a bit spunky. Which makes me think that it is more of a women's design. It has enough of Harley's personality to make it a good choice for any fan's wardrobe.

As for the artwork, the style is somewhere between the comic book and cartoon. Red, Black, White and Blonde (Yellow) are appropriate Harley Quinn Colors. The shading is minimum as there is some in the hair and some tone variation for her nose. The layout is also square/rectangle. It would look better if the fabric were the backdrop instead of the white square. As for the exact version of Harley that this is, that is a tough one. It looks like it is a combination of her many looks she is wearing an eye mask, but she is shown having blonde hair in pigtails without the jester's hat. Like part video game Harley and Part Suicide Squad perhaps.

This Bad Girls Go To Arkham tee will make a nice gift to add to any Batman collection.

Bad Girls Go To Arkham Tee Design by UrsulaLopez.

Is available on T-shirts, Hoodies, Tank tops and Crewnecks. Black and Navy Blue are the only fabric color options because the negative space makes up her mask and outfit. Thus, preventing it from looking right on other fabric colors. So it loses 1.5 stars on the Overall Design for this reason and it being a square layout. The review breakdown is as follows:

Lil Mac's Gym Tee Design by Jango Snow.

Lil Mac’s Gym Tee Design Review.

The Lil Mac's Gym tee design is for the Punch Out fans that may or may not like Notre Dame's The Fighting Irish.

The concept is to combine the the fighting leprechaun logo of Notre Dame with the playable character Mac from (Mike Tyson's) Punch Out game for the original NES. The two combined for Lil Mac's Boxing Gym makes for a decent T-shirt.

As for the artwork, the style is derivative but that is to be expected with this type of mash up. The trademark green shorts and boxing gloves are a huge tip off on who the character is as anyone who played the video game will recognize them instantly.

This Lil Mac's Gym tee will make a nice retro gift. Wear this tee for an 80's vibe or give one to an old school Nintendo gamer.

Starry DeLorean Tee Design by Punksthetic.

Starry DeLorean Tee Design Review.

The Starry DeLorean tee design is for the Back To The Future fans that enjoy the art of Vincent van Gogh.

The concept is to combine the coolest time machine which comes from the Back To The Future trilogy with the Starry Night sky which is the perfect backdrop for anything dealing with space and time (Space time). This is one of the better Starry Night parodies and mash ups and if you've been paying attention to this blog you may have seen some reviewed already.

Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh

As for the artwork, the style is emulating Vincent van Gogh's obviously with the broad stroke swirls. Not an exact copy but enough to know its basis (No moon for example). The subject of this tee the DeLorean, is ore subtle than inserted than say the parody featuring Serenity. Black fabric is the better choice in this case as it helps all the colors to pop with much greater contrast. I do think this tee would had been even better had Hill Valley and the Clock tower been the town and prominent building depicted.

This Starry DeLorean tee will make a nice gift for the Back To the Future fans.

Wear this tee to Comic-Cons, Sci-Fi conventions and to art museums. Basically ANYTIME ANYWHERE.

The Over Your Dead Body tee design is for The Addams Family fans and dark humored people with lots of attitude.

The concept is to show Wednesday Addams with reference to her homicidal tendencies and character via the bottle of poison. Her cold ass stare and blank expression make for an awesome T-shirt design.

From the Artist Tell us a bit about this design and what is the message or meaning you're trying to convey. This was a tough one! She dishes out these devastating judgmental glares, but at the same time she NEVER moves her face. Tried hard to capture her essence. Hope you like her 🙂 Who are you? Just a dude who loves comics, good beer and cats.

As for the artwork, the colors are appropriate as they are dark and goth which is appropriate for the twisted teen. It has lots of details from the ravens and thorns to her terrifyingly calm features to keep the eyes busy. The vapors are a particularly good detail that adds to the mystique and creepiness of her ominous presence. The shading is good and it suits the eeriness of the piece as well with the light shining on the bottom part of her face, like when people shine a flashlight under their chin when telling ghost stories around a campfire. The oval framed layout makes for a great presentation.

This design is available on kids' tees too, which is nice to see The Addams Family available to the newer generations.

The print turned out a little muted this time.

Hard Adventure Tee Design by Vinsse.

Hard Adventure Tee Design Review.

The Hard Adventure tee design is for the realists and The Legend of Zelda fans.

The concept is based on the fact that Link from The Legend of Zelda video game series obtains a bunch of items during his quest. However, you never see him carrying this massive inventory. No magic bag of holding... nothing. Here Navi flying is above him, useless as always, as he carries: The Master Sword, Hylian Shield, Pegasus Boots, Health Potions, Quiver and Bow, Sling Shot, Bombs, Ocarina of Time, Hookshot, Fishing Pole, Net and the Magic Hammer on his back. And those are just the items that we can see in this design. In the games there are even more items. While this isn't the first design to play on this concept it is one of the best ones as far as the artwork.

As for the artwork, its coloring area bit dark and I guess be classified as "muddy". This adds to the vibe of struggle. This is typical of Vinsse's work. The shading is just as dark and gritty. The illustration is worthy enough to be featured in the Zelda games themselves. People will laugh and feel sorry for Link at the same time.

This Hard Adventure tee will make a nice gift for any Legend of Zelda fan and it is a good gaming shirt that is bound to get some laughs.

The Wicked tee design is for The Wizard of Oz and Wicked fans.

The concept is to show the beauty of one of the most notorious villains the Wicked Witch of the West. Shown here with a cute version of a flying monkey.

From the Artist Tell us a bit about this design and the message or meaning you're trying to convey. I have to admit, I have not seen the play because I'm not one for musicals. But the book captivated me....how they took one of the most notorious villains of all time and flipped your perception of her by telling her side. I guess I just wanted to make a design that captured her beauty. Who are you? Just a dude who likes beer, cats and drawing.......and absolute power. Any shout outs? ....Where my flying monkeys at??

As for the artwork, the colors are appropriate for Elphaba Thropp aka the Wicked Witch of the West. It has complete tonal shading with great details. Fantastic considering the tricky lighting with the light background and the glow of scrying orb (also known as a crystal ball). Elphaba is shown before the ugliness of evil takes it's toll and Tim captured her beauty with flying monkey colors. Green, Yellow, White and what looks like a Midnight Blue to be exact but it seems like a full spectrum with the way that they were used. The layout couldn't be better as it is a rare combination of being cute, sexy and sophisticated.

This design is available on kids' tees too.

The print turned out very nice this time.

The Good The Bad The Rick Tee Design by Haragos.

The Good The Bad The Rick Tee Design Review.

The The Good The Bad The Rick tee design is for the Rick and Morty fans 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 the good Morty, the evil eye patch wearing self hating Morty and Rick in the segmented panels. The concept is probably done elsewhere but this one has simplicity which makes it a good pick.

As for the artwork, while the layout is derivative, the art features straight cartoon rips of the character's faces on a different board shapes with no wood grain. The coloring is a monochromatic orange theme which gives it a sunset feel and adds to the Western motif which is the point. The shading is consistent as each panel's light source is the same which isn't the case for all The Good The Bad The Ugly parodies or even the original poster art. The tee can be stands out easily from a good distance without missing any detail which makes it a great tee to be out.

Wear this tee to a Comic-Con or to the store because Rick and Morty is awesome.

Little Wonders Tee Design by One Bluebird Art.

Little Wonders Tee Design Review.

The Little Wonders tee design is a great parody and mash up tee for fans of Superman, Wonder Woman and the classic Americana paintings of Norman Rockwell.

Boy And Girl Gazing At The Moon Painting (aka Puppy Love) by Norman Rockwell

The concept is one of many Pop Culture renditions (by the same designer) of the nostalgic painting Boy and Girl Gazing At The Moon by Norman Rockwell (1926). It features Superman and Wonder Woman as a power couple "in-love" with Superman's dog Krypto behind them at the corner of the wooden bench. Even though Superman and Wonder Woman as far as them being a "couple" in any story line is complicated, the two look like they belong together from the very beginning. Fans know that the superheroes have thought about it plenty over the years and in a few cases acted on their feelings (pick a DC universe / timeline). This, like all of the other versions in this "Little Spooners" series, the time and thought that went into this design cannot be appreciated enough.

As for the artwork, it looks like the Rockwell Style but with bolder and primary colors. The colors, shading and layout are all ideal, the RED mixed in the hair for example doesn't seem like it would work but it really does quite well. The capes and the Lasso of Truth really stand out well. Flawless execution.

This Little Wonders tee will make a nice gift for the fans of DC Comic titles featuring Superman and Wonder Woman. It is different than other Clark Kent and Princess Diana of Themyscira inspired tees out there.

This is a great Superman and Wonder Woman T-shirt that is perfect for comic-cons and even wearing to art museums.
