I am developing my own line of tees

I am fed up of getting shoehorned into designing tees based on what I think other people will like. Instead, I'm going to start my own limited line of stuff that I'd want to wear. I am going to be developing a bunch of ideas over the next couple of weeks or so, so I'll post them all up in this thread.

Uhh... look closer. Each tape DOES have a unique label. Also, I'd wear this if it had half as many tapes. That's just too many.
However, I generally love your work, Moss. I look forward to seeing more designs!
I disagree with cutting the number of tapes, or even putting space between the tapes. For my first tee I want something immediately distinctive. I'm a fan of bright colours and big prints. It's meant to be a bit crazy and a bit jarring. I want the theme to be experimental, and I want my tees to be something I'd wear.
Oh, and it's slightly tapered because large designs that flare out at the bottom make the wearer look fat.
Best of luck on the branching out on your own thing, let us know how that turns out. I think your name has enough stock with your threadless background that you wont have any trouble getting PR and stuff with magazines and websites.
Also a big fan of your general style, such as things you post in the doodle thread and whatnot. Anyway, I look forward to buying up your designs if you make them available.
Except for this one. I don't have anything against large designs, they just don't look good on me. I agree with you on the colors, though. I like them.
I didn't expect this first shirt to be a hit at the AC, but that's sort of the point. I want to do limited runs of crazy designs that will appeal to a niche audience.
Despite a little spatial tweaking, I doubt I will change much in this design. They may be somewhat lost in this preview version, but the multiple transparencies look pretty cool up close. It's something that I don't think has been properly done on a tee before.
Everything is overused. Tshirts are overused.
If you're going to do anything, just have a bunch of people fucking. That will be great.
Also, make it scratch and sniff.;-)
Anyway. I look forward to you doing your thing without whoring to trends, moss. Are you just going to build your own site and sell them, or are you going to do something else? I'd be interested in knowing how your doing this business wise, I have some friends who want to start selling their own tees.
Me too! I was like "making your own trees...? This could be cool!"
Then I get t-shirts that should probably just be on Threadless anyway. Making your own thing will be hard as hell. It would probably do you better to start on threadless first cause you'll get exposure even quicker and then you could move on from there. Unless that's what you're already doing, then nevermind.
I want my trees still dammit
...he's been on Threadless for some time now, along with a few other sites...
ah, in before my edit... damn you!
looking forward to new designs and that spoiler shirt man, that might be the one to push me into picking up my first threadless t
Vertical placement for girls, so as not to emphasise the boobies.
Maybe the guys' placement could benefit from a rotation too.
Opinions?
e: and 'REMIX' should go either at the top or bottom of the vertical placement, not to the side.
greatest shirt idea ever!
