Introducing ‘Assault Shirts’ [Our Chicago Friends also selling Tees]

Written by Kamil on October 17th, 2008

Assault Shirts Logo

I would like to introduce you to our friends, Assault Shirts.  In short, Assault Shirts is a Chicago-based T-shirt startup.  In long, it is an awesome place where you can find many artistic and cartoonistic designs….and can get custom tees made…..while looking at a futuristic, cutting-edge site.

Assault Shirts are experts at shirt customization, and they design t-shirts for bands, sports teams, radio stations, and pretty much everything else.  So, if you need a shirt but don’t know how to design then I highly recommend that you work with Assault Shirts to get your first t-shirt made.

Assault Shirts consists of three members: Tim, Candice and Craig, whom have been working on their sick site over the past 6 months.  Although, I haven’t had a chance to meet Craig yet (congratulations on the marriage), I know that Tim and Candice are some multi-talented cats.  Tim has designed, and is running majority of the the site, and Candice is contributing many of their slick designs, especially their best-seller, Chainsaw Killer Bunny

Chainsaw Killer Bunny

Finally, I highly recommend subscribing to the Assault Shirts Blog.   It is greatly written, and very informative.

The Takeaway: 1) Check out the site; 2) Check out the blog; 3) Order a t-shirt; 4) Be a good citizen.

Credit crunch affects the markets, what’s next…t-shirts? [Just for fun, T-shirt]

Written by Kamil on October 16th, 2008

I was reading a post on TroundUp today and came across something very unique, and interesting that needed to be re-iterated:

zipper t-shirt

Although it’s sold out, you can find out more about this shirt on Etsy.  It’s unfortunate that some companies have cut back on t-shirt materials.  What’s next, holes in the crotch area of Lucky jeans?

Our old Cameesa Video explanation [Just for fun]

Written by Kamil on October 13th, 2008

So…….a few months ago, we decided that the Cameesa concept needed to be explained with a video. Trying to use CommonCraft as an example, we attempted to explain it in a video.

Andy and I  spent 15 hours putting this video together…..and then 15 minutes deciding that IT SUCKED…..HA. We needed to share this with you, there’s actually one other explanation video but I don’t know if we want to embarrass ourselves even more.

p.s. Check out our new Cameesa YouTube Channel

T-World “The Journal of T-Shirt Culture”

Written by Viktor on September 21st, 2008

T-World

Found the mag at my local bookstore. Being the T-Shirt fanatic that I am I had to buy it after I saw it. The Australian based T-World is published bi-annually by Eddie Zammit and is currently on it’s fourth issue. I wish it was printed quarterly. Keep up the great work Eddie, the fourth issue looks awesome.

You can find T-World online at Uniform

Take Me To Your Reader Becomes 100% Supported

Written by Viktor on August 18th, 2008

Take Me to Your ReaderCongratulations goes out to Jon Turner aka vonmonkey for being the first Cameesa Artist to become 100% Supported by the community. I’m glad it made it through because I really want to wear it. A big thanks also goes out to all the Supporters.

It was popular and caused waves in the community when initially uploaded. This weekend it heated up, quickly reaching the 100% mark.

I like Jon’s background on the piece:

From The Times, July 14th 1892: “Oxford: The academic community remains abuzz with gossip after the disappearance of young Jeremiah Mugglestone, MA (Oxon.), lexicographer, last seen on Saturday morning. Mr. Mugglestone, the youngest fellow of Balliol, whom Jowett described as being possessed of ‘the finest mind in the Empire’, had reportedly been in a disturbed state for several days.
“Colleagues state that he had become obsessed with the notion of ‘beings from another world’, and claimed to have discovered an ‘alien’ code hidden within the text of a pocket edition of Dr. Johnson’s Dictionary. A close friend, Dr. Cadmus Bodway, puts Mugglestone’s behaviour down to ‘a suspected case of library fever’; nevertheless there have been no sightings of the scholar, while his distinctive bowler hat and personal copy of the aforementioned dictionary have been found abandoned amid a scorched patch of grass in the South Parks. A mystery indeed”
