I really like this tee, but I guess that’s what happens when you get Wotto to make a collage t-shirt.

It’s a good thing that I like Wotto’s work, because otherwise him winning every design competition under the sun would be pretty annoying.

Ink Hound hit their second week with a release from a couple of designers you should be pretty familiar with, J3concepts and Wotto. The tee is Wotto’s (as if you couldn’t tell), and the hat is by J3 (as if you couldn’t tell). They were actually rocking a half price sale last week which I forgot to tell you about, but they’re hardly breaking the bank this week with their ‘full’ prices of $12 for a tee ($14 for organic), $16 for a hat, and $30 for a hoodie.

You’ve got until Tuesday next week to pick them up, because after that, they’re gone.

I can’t remember when these were released/announced (a couple of weeks ago I think), but all three really deserved to be printed up. As its a design competition, Wotto is a winner, as he created the red tee, but the other two names, House of Thieves and Doug Hindson (the overall winner), are less well known to me. I know the price might put a few people off, but the sample tee that they sent me from last year’s competition is still as nice today as when I first pulled it out of the envelope.

So, what do we have here? It’s a new t-shirt design competition… again, who is the designer of this t-shirt? Wotto… again. It almost feels as if this blog is turning into the wotto appreciation society, which wouldn’t exactly the worst thing in the world since he clearly knows his way around Illustrator, but how about giving some other designers a chance, eh wotto?

Fair and Bare are a new-ish design competition based in Wales who use Fairtrade certified cotton t-shirts (from Epona Clothing. Apparently the shirts are made in an organic way, but they don’t have organic certification yet because that is a two-year process. Basically, you can be assured that kids in sweatshops didn’t make your t-shirts, unless the screen printer at Fair and Bare HQ in Cardiff is a small boy… which I doubt. The first design they’ve released, is of someone hugging a tree, but I’ve been told that they don’t actually want to be known as a tree hugger kind of company, just a t-shirt company that happens to use fair trade tees. In terms of money the winners prize is £200 ($375 according to xe.com), not as much as some of the bigger players, but hopefully the prize package will grow as the company does.

Remember that t-shirt that had a glove stitched onto it? Yeah, that was fun, wasn’t it? Turns out that itself, the company behind the infamous Glove Pocket tee, aren’t just a one-hit wonder, they’ve got more tees that don’t suck, and I handily put pictures of them into the gallery. The black tee is called ‘Never take Candy from a Strange Thing‘, this seven-colour pastel print is yet another great design from Wotto, and marks a departure from itself.s previous minimalist style. ‘More tape‘ is far more in keeping with what I’d expect from these guys, a black and white colourway that’s also kinda funny.

Both of these designs are winners of the Itself design competition. The prize package for winners is pretty substantial, you get $1750 in cash and $250 in ‘itself-coins’ (…store credit), and if your tee is popular and sells out its initial run you’ll get the same again for the second print run of 3000 tees.

Here’s the latest tee from Bang Bang T-shirts, this time designed by design contest regular Wotto. If you’re a Wotto fan then its a fairly safe bet that you’ll like this character tee, but if you’ve got no clue who this Wotto person is then you’ll probably still like it anyway since the bizarre character is oddly endearing for some reason that I can’t put my finger on.
