Threadful

The Threadless blog forum moves too fast for me sometimes, so this is where I talk about the stuff I like.

Some more "Less is More" submissions

Night Reporters - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
The "What" and "Why" owls make me giggle to myself. They are so baffled, and yet so nonchalant.

A hitchhiker - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
Neat idea, and really well done. The detail on the backpack is excellent, and I want that hat.

Geometry Cheat Sheet - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
Disclaimer: Mine, again. But I'm excited about it, because I think it has the chance to do well. It's simple and funny and cute. And I guess it kind of goes without saying, because my last four submissions have involved some variation of this color scheme, but I really do like those colors together.

Garbage Disposal - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
I had to give this a second glance—and a third—before I realised that it really did meet the Less is More requirements. I mean, that is one startlingly realistic four-color trash bag. It's funny, too. Overall, just plain enjoyable.

The water cycle - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
One of mine. I can't decide if I really like this or not. Sometimes I look at it and am quite pleased with it, and sometimes I look at it and am disappointed that it seems to be missing something important. I like that pirate ship, though.

That's why monsters can't have nice things - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
I am such a sucker for a tangy bluish green. This is one of the designs that honestly made me nostalgic for the threadless of yore. I feel like a crappy vector design is much more readily identifiable (as bad) than a crappy rainbow watercolor design. I mean, this is neither. This is awesome. It just reminded me of Old Threadless, which I guess is the point. So, well done!

I'm Afraid of Were-Saber-Toothed Tigers - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
Great combination of simple lines and thoughtful detail. I especially like the middle color choice.

the Shower - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
I am pretty much guaranteed to love any design involving the combination of astronauts and rainbow colors.

I like these, and maybe you should vote nicely on them, because I think they are kind of neat:

Barn Owls! - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
If you don't like barn owls, you might be a bad person. This is one animal that just deserves to be on a cool tshirt, and this design fits the bill.

Children, Honor They Ancestors - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
Chicken. Dinosaurs. I like these colors a lot, and the central chicken has a funny feather-do. I honestly can't remember the last time I wanted a shirt as much as I want this one. I would wear it everywhere. And everyone who saw me would be jealous. There's just no question.

(!) - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
I've had an internet crush on Bramish since 2005. But even if I didn't, I would still like this shirt.

Sea Cats of the North Atlantic - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
I'm pretty sure I bought that cheetah a drink last night. You don't want to get on his bad side; he's a mean drunk. Tells great stories, though.

one ship - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
The orangey color option on this one makes me heart skip like a second-grade girl during recess.

Waiting for the Night - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
Sweet romantic tee that doesn't rely on a tomato with a face. This reminds me of my first relationship. Long distance is hard, but this encapsulates both the loneliness and the happiness involved.

The Inherent Crisis of Individuality - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
Giggles and smiles.

Night Owls - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
I once went to a rummage sale that was comprised almost entirely of owl-related things. Oven mitts, and knick-knacks, and framed pictures, and decoupage, and christmas ornaments, and shirts with appliques. My family still speaks of it: "Do you remember the Old Lady sale?" It kind of freaked me out at the time, but I think I'm starting to empathise. Owls are pretty freaking sweet.

We're wolves - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
Probably the best Glowing Werewolf with Bulky Orange Glasses design you'll see this week.

Visit Scotland - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
Scotland should hire this guy to design their tourism fliers. I've never given the place a second thought, but I am now compelled to visit it.

Babble Babel - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
I like this, a lot. The little curlicues on the speech bubbles make me swoon. Plus, I would wear this to all of the Linguistics Department grad student events and be the talk of the town.

Bad hair day - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
I'm big into orangey-red right now. Also I felt like drawing rats. Anyway, this is mine, so I guess you don't have to take it seriously. But I still like it.
