ARTSY: Threadless Tees


A friend turned me on to Threadless tees many years ago, and I own several (including the half done Paint By Numbers one and the sweet little til death do us part number called "Evolution" pictured above). Threadless is a community-based tee shirt company with an ongoing, open call for design submissions. They pay artists or graphic designers who come up with quirky images and slogans if they make it through the online voters forum. Anyone can vote or submit and it is a great little program with fantastically priced items made in the USA, as the tees are usually Hanes or American Apparel (a bit of advice, order a size larger as they tend to run small). Sign up for their weekly emails to get notices on their $10 sales, which is how I acquired this cutie:
And this one for my daughter's 2nd birthday when her favorite song was "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" (their children's tees are darling):

If you haven't heard of Threadless Tees or ever purchased one, I highly suggest you check out their great website and get onboard. You might just find the perfect one for that sarcastic teenager in your life or for your crazy grandma. But hurry quick, as the limited runs sell out fast.
