Arm The Animals Tee Brand Review.

Arm The Animals

Arm The Animals Tee Brand is a charitable business that supports Animal Rights. Meaning that a portion of the proceeds goes to various charities supporting that cause.

As for the Print Quality, the shirts and fleece that we have are printed slightly above the average Direct To Garment digital prints and are on par with ones that you would find at sites such Redbubble.

This is a print-to-order type of business so the turnaround time is usually great. Here is their shipping policy in their own words:

Shipping Policy

"We run most online orders on a “print to order basis” and we begin fulfillment as soon as possible. We buy blanks, produce, QC, and ship every day of the week and we can turn most orders in 5-7 business days. We are always working on this process to make it faster and more efficient and each quarter, we can get our orders out a day or two quicker. "

Arm The Animals Tee Brand Interview:

How did Arm The Animals Tee Brand get started and what is your brand all about?

Arm The Animals was born from tragedy in 2010 as an attempt to express the inexpressible. Created following the untimely death of my sister (who a lifelong animal advocate and “pet parent” to a dozen rescues), Arm The Animals would serve as a living tribute and means of carrying on a legacy that was ended too soon. It all started as an emotional reaction and a hobby, but thankfully, it took and has evolved into the brand you see today.

What are the ATA ideals?

Our ideals are really simple: Make killer tees and make an impact on the welfare of as many animals in need as possible. We want to be the voice of people out there who are not extremists, but truly care about animal welfare. We like to send a strong message via imagery and up to this point, we think we have done a good job of that. Charitable cause are really personal and subjective, but we see millions of animals in need and we just want to help as best we can. Our company motto is, “Speak for the Speechless & Defend the Defenseless”, so that’s the basic credo all of our designs speak to.

Who designs the tees?

95% of all designs are done in house and by myself or RJ Ochoa. We try to do as much in-house as possible, but about 2 years ago, we began reaching out and using a small network of artists from around the world. We have released items featuring art from Thailand, The Philippines Australia, The UAE, Ukraine and more. We really like the idea of getting a new, “Global take” on our concepts, which can be tough to do from inside the company. We have also had guest artists come and work in the office with us for weeks at a time; Franz Garcia (http://franzdg.blogspot.com/) & Tony Koehl (http://www.sketchthesoul.com/featured/they-died-not-knowing-tony-koehl.html) made major contributions to our releases over the past 2 years in particular.

What inspires the tees?

We have been inspired by making an impact on the general welfare of animals, but certain instances also influence us. For example, when Cecil the lion was killed last year, it inspired a hugely successful design that raised over $12,000 for the ZCTF, who patrols the area where Cecil was killed. Originally, ATA started as just a hobby to help cat/dog shelters and it has now mushroomed into covering all animals of all types. So many species are facing extinction and plight that there is no shortage of inspiration and when it all comes together, like it did with Cecil, the results are amazing!

How would you classify the tees?

We’re actually proud that there is no clear classification for our tees; I mean, they are graphic tees, but you can’t simply say they are high fashion, or hipster, or beach life inspired or political, etc. To us, they are all that… Animal welfare cuts across every demographic on the planet, so we’re lucky to be able to appeal to so many different kinds of people. This isn’t easy, but it is a good problem to have in our estimation.

When we researched animal welfare tees back in 2010 when we started the company - all we found was kittens and butterflies, or blood and guts - with nothing in between for the every man or every woman out there. We wanted to make tees for people who are pissed and care about animals and want to show it - so that’s what we attempted to do. We have had any kind of person you could imagine support us and have even seen three generations of a family all buy a different shirts from us at an event. That’s something special and it’s not something a ton of brands can pull off.

Just A Little Paint Tee Design by tjost.

Just A Little Paint Tee Design Review.

Just A Little Paint Tee tee design is for the people that aspire to be something or someone different.

Drawn in the cute cartoon style that tjost is known for consisting of nice shading and highlights. This polar bear just wants to fit in with the pandas. Which requires a lot of effort and paint. At closer inspection, the second panda is disconcerted. It taps the shoulder of the oblivious first panda as the polar bear is infiltrating their turf. The pandas just want to eat bamboo because that is all pandas do. Seriously, look it up. Lazy bastards.

While this tee is cute, it is best not to think too much about the intentions of a design. As one could argue that this is pro-conformity or perhaps showing and poking fun at an identity crisis. But let's just assume that the polar bear just wants to make some new friends or more likely wanting to try some bamboo.

The Just A Little Paint artwork is available on children's apparel which is probably the targeted audience. It will make a good school tee.

Wear this tee anywhere and everywhere with a casual setting such as Panda Express, zoos, coffee shops and Chinatown.

Kelly Green fabric is mandatory, it works as the color of the bamboo jungle so the tee itself becomes the grass and plants. The review breakdown is as follows:

A Very Naughty Bear Tee Design by Roni Lagin and Mo Moussa.

A VERY NAUGHTY BEAR Tee Design Review.

The A VERY NAUGHTY BEAR tee is for people that want their childhood ruined or want to ruin someone else's. Actually, any Winnie the Pooh fan should like this design and get a good chuckle out of it.

The more true to life behaviors of the animals of the Hundred Acre Wood are more shocking than they are terrifying. This isn't the lovable quirky characters that we grew up with here. These mental cases forgot to take their meds.

This artwork by Roni Lagin and Mo Moussa shows what happens when people let go of their imagination and start seeing things as they sadly are. Nah, this is great. Mucking around with pop culture is fun. Nice colors and shading. the fur effects are done well. But nothing beats the facial expressions here of pain and anger. The snarls. Gotta love it.

The A VERY NAUGHTY BEAR design is ideal for any casual setting and predominately male environment.
