Boomslank Anime Tees

Boomslank Anime Tees

via popculturetees by liz on 3/29/11

Though shopping at their site is an odd experience (I want to be able to easily see a t-shirt design BIG if I’m going to buy it), there’s no denying that the brothers behind Boomslank have some real talent for design. With themes heavily drawn from the world of anime, their style ranges from the simple and bold to the complex and detailed.

Our particular favorite is this newer design, titled “Airport”…

…which reminds us a little of something out of Hiro Miyazaki’s imagination, in a Howl’s Moving Castle sort of way:

Based in Raleigh, NC Boomslank designs are printed on American Apparel tees and run $24.00 each. Visit their site to see more.

In 2007, UK based clothing brand Dirtyface was founded and became the home to a range of the strangest imaginary creatures. Dirtyface combines originality and creativity, through the collaboration of the world’s most unique and talented underground artists and designers. We got the chance to interview Alan from Dirtyface to learn about the origins of the brand and upcoming projects.

TM: What inspired you to start your brand?

Alan: The desire to produce t-shirts that were different and stood out from the crowd. Also the prospect of being able to work with some amazing and very talented artists was a massive pull to start the collaborative nature of our brand. We’re very proud of our close affiliation with our artists.

TM: Why did you decide to name your brand Dirtyface?

Alan: Dirtyface came from my friend, Lucy. We were just sitting around one day discussing possible names that would work and she bleated out “call it dirtyface”. It just stuck and that was that. Thanks Luce!

TM: How do you decide which artist you want working with your brand?

Alan: The artists we collaborate with are all selected by me. I just choose who I like and admire. There is no rigid selection process, it’s just who catches the eye with original work. It doesn’t matter if they’re super famous or an unknown but more that I like the art and that it will sit well with our brand image.

TM: What do you hope people feel or notice when they see someone wearing one of your shirts?

Alan: There’s a feeling I used to get when I bought a new pair of trainers as a kid. I’d wear them around the house because I was so chuffed that I had these spanking new air max. I guess I kind of want our customers to feel the same when they crack out a Dirtyface for the first time.

TM: How do you come up with these crazy designs for Dirtyface?

Alan: Crazy designs are what we specialize in. When I discuss the plan for the shirt with the artist I pretty much say “go nuts, it’s your shirt”. I only select artists that I like and that produce weird and magical pieces so I guess it stands to reason that the shirts turn out the way they do. We try and not set a brief and that way it allows the project to flow from the artist, without constraints. I think the artists enjoy working with us because of the free nature to the project.

TM: What qualities does an artist need in order to work with Dirtyface?

Alan: Qualities we are looking for are a really professional approach to their work. We’re not really fussed about how they approach it but as long as the finished article shows a high detail of craft then we’re happy. We want originality to the design and so you must have your own style and be able to express that in the shirt. It should also sit well with our brand image.

TM: What’s the creative process for making a t-shirt design?

Alan: Creative process for me is to not specifically work on a design for a shirt. I can’t speak for the other artists but I don’t set out to make a design for a shirt but generally make artwork. Things then evolve and you realize that the piece would sit well on a shirt. Again I think that’s a better way than having a brief to work to as it allows a more organic development to the overall design. You have to be good at working with a limited colour palette, which I’ve always found difficult. Theory One is amazing at working with a small range of colours but still allowing a great depth to his designs. You also have to be good at matching the fabric colour to the pantone refs or the whole shirt will look wrong. That can be a tricky part of the process.

TM: How do you promote your brand and what are your most effective marketing methods?

Alan: We do a lot of online promotion through social media and the like. We also attend trade shows, festivals, art events etc. In fact we’re working on our own gallery event coming up next month. It’s called Dirtyface Ten/Ten and will feature artists from our previous ranges such as: Mr Gauky, Drew Millward, Mr Penfold and DXTR. It will also include new artists to the label such as: The Low Bros, Matt Sewell, Tom Newell and a few more…

TM: What are your 3 favorite clothing brands, besides your own?

Alan: Three favourite brands, tough one! I’d have to say Upper Playground first, simply because they set the way for us smaller brands and Jeremy Fish is simply unbelievable. Addict were also a big inspiration to us and I love the quality of what they produce. Finally, I’ve always quite liked imaginaryfoundation’s stuff. It’s metalness personified but they have a really nice style to their garments.

TM: Are there any other brands or artists that you would like to work with in the future?

Alan: As I mentioned before we’d love to collaborate with Jeremy Fish but I can’t see him being peeled away from Upper Playground to be honest, shame. We’ve always wanted to work with French artist ILK and I think he’ll be part of our next collection if we can afford him!! We’d also like to work with some of the new guys taking part in our exhibition, The Low Bros for example are amazing artists are we really dig their style. They’re getting bigger by the day.

We might have a brand collab in the pipe with a really well established brand but I can’t really tell you about that until it’s developed a bit more.

TM: What are your plans for next year?

Alan: Next year is to go bigger and bolder. Keep pumping out new designs and expand the range. We’ve had a lot of requests for a female friendly collection so that’s a work in progress. We also want to work more on the gallery events like Ten/Ten. It’s a great way to celebrate the brand by bringing all our talent together under one project and allowing them to do something away from clothing design. Oh and a DVD is going to be released of the event so more work of that nature would be really nice.

TM: Any final thoughts for all of your old and new fans?

Alan: Keep an eye on our blog for new projects and lines and thanks for all your support, it’s much appreciated. Feel free to come and say hello at our gallery event during August. Keep it dirtyface…

Lead & Light

Lead & Light

via popculturetees by Reggie on 1/7/11

Created out of the frustrations of a creative mind, Lead & Light bring a dark and mysterious flavor to the table. All their shirts have a black and white theme with a similar style in design that create a real strong brand identity. One of my favorite things about Lead & Light is that they print each shirt individually by hand on American Apparel tees.

I love the detail in these designs and just overall vibe and mood that comes from them. These aren’t your simple design mock ups but truly, well thought out artwork. I’m really diggin’ this next one…

Not only are these tees individually printed, use American Apparel blanks, and have amazing artwork, but most of them are selling for only $15!! Check out these shirts and more on their website here.

Jeepney

Jeepney via T-Shirt Magazine by Bo Mekavibul on 1/9/10 Based out of Seattle, Washington, Jeepney is a well-established brand in the streetwear scene. Borrowing its name from the well-known public transportation vehicles found in the Philippines, Jeepney produces designs that are both artistically and culturally influenced. Today, you can find Jeepney’s range sold in popular online shops including Karmaloop, nationwide stores like Urban Outfitters, and many shops and boutiques around the world! “…the true test is if you can last through the tough times, take valuable lessons from those times – and make sure to remember those lessons when things are going well again……..Or sell crack.” BM: Could you state who you are and describe a little bit about yourself and your role at Jeepney? KR: My name is Karlo Reyes and I am the founder/CEO and Janitor at Jeepney. BM: When was Jeepney founded? What led you to start the brand? KR: I owned a design firm before with some of the other owners of Jeepney in 2003 and we were hired to create tees for a company that was going to sell them at a local community festival in Seattle. The person that hired us backed out but we just decided to do the event instead since I already created all the designs. Though Jeepney had a Filipino based name – we wanted to show the world dope and creative apparel but still promote our heritage in a non cheesy way…thus the name Jeepney was born since it applied to the artistic elements as well. We ended up selling out of the tees and getting mad requests for reprints. We made a quick website and started selling online and it just snowballed after that. Later that year, we then decided to gather up a team and make the business official. None of us had any fashion background but we had hunger and vision on our side. We did our first fashion tradeshow in Las Vegas early 2005, called POOL tradeshow with a lot of brands that you see now including Obey, RVCA, Tokidoki, 10 Deep, etc, etc. Back then, the industry wasn’t as fragmented since categories like “Streetwear” or “Hipster” weren’t popular yet)….That’s when it really changed for us – not just in sales but getting the advice of the other established designers was priceless. In 2006, we started doing MAGIC tradeshow (largest apparel tradeshow in the US) and that’s when Jeepney became international and was brought into the streetwear world. BM: Can you tell us how you came up with the name for the brand and what the meaning is behind it? KR: The Jeepney is a mobile assemblage of signs and decorative motifs found along the streets of Metro Manila. After World War II, surplus American G.I. Jeeps were converted into public utility vehicles and decorated with lavish art and color with each owner’s individual, distinct look. Today, Jeepney clothing has carried this same concept of expression into the apparel world. Our brand represents a unique style that is universal in appeal and crosses over into a diverse mix of genres in the global street culture market. BM: Where do you get inspiration for your designs? Do you create the designs yourself or do you have a special team of artists? KR: We get our inspiration from many places. Everything from pop culture to the staffs dogs gives us inspiration. I use to do more designs but these days I take on the Creative Director role and use a team of talented artists BM: What are some of the most valuable lessons that you’ve learned since starting Jeepney? KR: Pressure makes diamonds. Its easy and exciting to get your business going when everything is going well and your making lots of money, but the true test is if you can last through the tough times, take valuable lessons from those times – and make sure to remember those lessons when things are going well again……..Or sell crack. BM: Are there any brands or artists that you would like to collaborate with in the future? KR: We’ve done a lot of collabs already but I really want to do one with San Miguel beer. If you don’t know what that is, then your not cool. Just kidding – it’s a Filipino beer so if you’re reading this San Miguel beer executives – let’s do a collab Yo! (Free beer for me!) BM: What can we expect to see from Jeepney this year? KR: Scientifically proven sexiness. If you wear a Jeepney tee – you WILL get laid. (Hopefully by the preferred sex). Actually you will see some dope designs that no one is doing right now so just make sure to keep an eye out on our website. BM: Thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions for T-Shirt Magazine! Do you have any last remarks that you would like to make? KR: Make sure to check out shop.jeepneyclothing.com and www.jeepneyclothing.com – it will reveal secrets to life’s questions!
