Something Retro Gamers Can All Relate To

This fun, whimsical T-Shirt design by artist Jay Ross illustrates the magical “blow” move performed by an entire generation of kids unable to get their NES game cartridges to start up properly on the first try.

Check out this fun, Space Invaders-inspired tee by artist Neil Gregory:

A Simple Plan

The T-shirt’s available at Threadless.com; the wall decal is on sale at blik!  (Check out my post here for more on blik.)

Check out this creative tee shirt design I found on threadless.com:

Burger Deconstructed, In Helvetica

It’s by graphic designer David Schwen.

Love the use of color!  (And not just because it matches the site so well…)

Cheeseburger.  Yum.

Artist Travis Pitts came up with this fun T-Shirt design (“We’ve Got Some Work To Do Now”) featuring Velma Dinkley of Scooby-Doo fame and the titular Great Dane chewing on what appears to be some vanquished monster’s (Frankenstein’s Monster?) hand:

I love the older, battle-hardened, post-apocalyptic version of Velma shown above.

The Mystery Machine (now Misery Machine, apparently) has been refitted with side-mounted chainsaws for hacking away at undead armies.

(Wonder what the giant wooden stake up top is for?)

Also, Shaggy, Fred, and Daphne are no more it seems.

What a great concept!

Here’s what the artist himself had to say about the design:

Sticking with my favorite theme of heroic girls … and injecting realism or plausibilty [sic] to silly pop culture icons …, I knew I wanted to make a certain teen detective [and] her canine companion into the sole survivors of a Monsterpocalypse for the threadless loves Horror contest.

Everyone knows that it’s always the timid, quiet, second-string female character that gets the dramatic arc and has the wits and skill to survive most horror movies. I struggled for days trying to come up with a semi-realistic interpretation of this toughened, nerdy survivor-type gal- until I remembered I was dating one, and asked her to model for it.

Fun stuff!
