An Old Tshirt Blog

Now, I usually don’t like posting joints from the same place back-to-back like this…but since I don’t blog about new “collections,” [because I prefer to focus on specific Tshirts] I’ve found that it’s a compromise I’m willing to make. This Lion Tshirt is the other of the 2 new tees put out by my homeys over at Holiday Matinee. 100% of this shirt’s proceeds will go toward High Tech High: Media Arts, which is where it was born. So, once again: if you want to look good and support education, you should grab this for $20.

Here We Come is one of two new amazing Holiday Matinee tees. It’s part of the 2nd installment of HM’s Artist Series which was designed by students of High Tech High: Media Arts in San Diego. 100% of its proceeds will go straight back into the school. If you want to look good and support education, you should grab this for $20.

The Professional Dreamer T-shirt is one of the many Holiday Matinee gems available for just $20. In addition to rocking this shirt to meetings, I might just have to list Professional Dreamer as my title on the next round of business cards.

This giveaway is now over. Congratulations to Josh Hemsley!

Holiday Matinee just launched a new store at SupermarketHQ in honor of their 10 year anniversary…and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate. Aside from the fact that they have lots of new T-shirts and posters available for purchase, HM focuses on good design with good intention. Take this Holiday Matinee Helvetica Logo T-shirt for instance: it features a their logo (crafted in Helvetica, no less) on a 100% organic cotton. What’s not to love?

The Holiday Matinee Artist Series brings us this little ditty by Ashkahn. It says “I Love U,” which is great…but there’s also a bit of a juxtaposition with the cracks, cobwebs and what I can only assume to be bird crap. Irony? Hardly. The implication is that love needs to be tended to. Saying you love someone and then following through on that love is a journey many are too lazy to make. A good deal of people don’t go much further than saying it. If we were to treat words and thoughts as tangible things (which I believe we should) then these words would often look just as they do on this tee…a grand gesture, left unattended…only to fall into decay. Such is life, I suppose. I’m not sure if I picked this T-shirt to write about today because I was feeling philosophical or vice versa. In any case Holiday Matinee donates 100% of the proceeds from every tee purchased to plant, maintain and protect trees. And did I mention that all shirts are tag-free and 100% organic? It’s hard not to love the I Love U T-shirt with that in mind.
