Today's shirt reminded me that there's one thing that I will pretty much always buy and that is good, artistic music related shirts. I would love to see more of these up even though it would seriously put a dent in my wallet. There are quite a few music related shirts out there, but not a lot of them with a lot of style, creativity, and art which I think just enhances and plays off of the music theme (since music is an expression of art). What especially got me with the one was the interesting use of stereo cables (guitar cables to me). When the simple or mundane things are brought forth it just makes them, and the piece, more special and original. So anyway, I just thought I should take the time to give props to the artist and maybe to give all of you other artists some ideas for a way to at least wipe MY funds out, if not others as well. ;)

    I searched and found a couple pictures of the shirts you mentioned online, and while they're not bad, and actually pretty good for department store shirts, in my opinion they still pale in comparison to some of the art that has been displayed on tee fury. Not to mention that I like the semi-exclusivity that owning a tee fury shirt, and thus a limited edition piece of art, gives me. I am a fan of target, though, they usually have a decent selection, it's a I wonder why I've never seen that brand there before.

    a lil shameless self promo. I did this during karina in honor of the great jazz New Orleans has been famous for, the design was originally for a benefit concert concept for a illustration class. What do ya think?

    One of my favourites is the Music Tree on Uneetee. If you're patient, you can get it for just $10 if you wait for it to appear as their nightly Insaneetee deal. I haven't gotten one myself, only because I'm not nearly that musical.

    I do have The Madness of Miss Stereo though.

    @biotwist - I work at Kohl's, and at first glance it may seem like we have a good collection of graphic tees, but many or very unoriginal. We have a few good bands tees, i.e. Foo Fighters, Lenny Kravitz... Most of the graphic tees are just stupid skulls, flames, and poorly used paisley.

    @Arrow - I like the second one in your second post the best, the one with the orange in the waves, the colors there just seem to exude the down-to-earth/momma's-home-cookin' type of feel that New Orleans kind of has for me (I've never been so this is mostly based off of all of the cooking and travel shows I've seen about it ;D).

    yeah, I remember seeing that shirt there the other day...I've always thought about buying it but I figured seeing someone else with that tee might be a little awkward..as that has happened before :P That's why I love getting all my shirts online.

    But yeah..great shirt, probably best they have for a bird shirt.

    they had this awesome skeleton one made out of turntables and tapes that rocked. not getting a shirt because someone else in the world might have same one is silly, otherwise your better just personally screening your own shirts. we could have been shirt buddys, I also got some sweetass hoodies at Kohls today for like 25 bucks each

    I GOT THAT ONE! i LOOOOVE it! the collar bones are record player arms and i think that's my favourite part. plus, the shirt is SUPER comfy. all things good and wonderful come from target.

    i agree about not wanting to get a shirt cause someone else MIGHT have it. if you like it, get it. that's what i think. my brother and i often purchase the same shirts from here and risk wearing them at the same time. ooooooohhh! haha

    I too love the music shirts. I keep wishing anothersite would reprint Breaking The Sound of Music in the original Lemon color!

    Arrow, I like the blue on cream and the orange on green. The contrast makes the colors pop more.
