ShirtMockup Coming Soon (0)
Published on March 12th, 2010. By The Taddict, under Cool Sites.
The T Addict regularly covers both the Black Axe and Go Media, two powerhouses in the t-shirt design industry. Well now those two super forces are joining to take over the t-shirt design world with ShirtMockup.com. We don’t know what it is yet but it is coming soon on March 17th. Stay tuned…for the domination is coming.
8-Bit Zombie Is Innovating (1)
Published on March 8th, 2010. By The Taddict, under Cool Sites.
Let me just warn you up front. The reason the T Addict is writing about 8-Bit Zombie is because I was first blown away by the foam trucker hats they’ve created. But since that seems almost sacrilegious for the T Addict to write an exclusive post about hats…8-Bit Zombie does have one t-shirt that I can write about first.
The premise behind 8-Bit Zombie is the throwback reference to the original gaming systems with 8-bit graphics. The most recognizable of those systems being the original Nintendo Entertainment System. The shirt goes all out with a six color screen print on a black American Apparel shirt.
Now that we got that out of the way, let’s get back to the trucker hats that first caught my attention. The images on their storefront shows a printing location that I have never seen before. They are putting custom designs on the under side of the bill. And not only that, they’re just about covering the whole printable area. Check it out for yourself:
It’s pretty sick! The only question is, how are they doing that?

200 Nipples Needs Your Help (2)
Published on February 22nd, 2010. By The Taddict, under General.
The T Addict loves it when a site genuinely asks its readers/customers for help on a redesign or suggestions for the direction of a business. 200 Nipples has done just that in a recent post on their blog asking for help on a complete overhaul of their site.
They’ve put together a quick customer survey that should take you less than 5 minutes to fill out. Help them out if you can and tell ‘em the T Addict sent ya’.

Rubens Scarelli Has Years of Experience (1)
Published on February 3rd, 2010. By The Taddict, under General.
Rubens Scarelli hails from Brazil and has been designing as a full time job since 1987. That fact alone means you should listen to what he has to say if you are interested in t-shirt design. While his skills aren’t exclusively used for t-shirt design, it has played a major part of his career since the very beginning over 22 years ago.
He was recently interviewed by Vectortuts and they give us an inside peek into his design process. Typically his artwork begins as a sketch before it moves to the computer and begins the vectorization process. Nice interview, cool insight, and all around good read. Don’t miss it….
Bobby Bottleservice Loves T-Shirts – Jersey Shore Edition (1)
Published on January 27th, 2010. By The Taddict, under Videos.
Unless you live in a cave in Afghanistan you have either seen or heard of MTV’s latest reality show – Jersey Shore. It follows a group of friends from New Jersey living in one house and partying together all the time. There are certain features about them that are undeniable including but not limited to being overly tan, overly muscular, and overly over the top. If you have seen the show, then you will love this video from Funny or Die:
Bobby Bottleservice gets the T Addict’s vote for season 2 of the Jersey Shore.
Get This Tee Before It’s Endangered (2)
Published on January 19th, 2010. By The Taddict, under Cool Tees.
Flymouse365 just released a new shirt that the T Addict had to write about. Check it out:
I admit I’m a sucker for these types of life playing out on two levels shirts. With antlers like that it would truly be a terrifying experience all around to see this fellow in your headlights. It’s printed on an American Apparel shirt and is only available for the next seven days so snap it up while you can before it becomes an endangered species.
Fuzzy Ink Drops the Walrus (0)
Published on January 14th, 2010. By The Taddict, under Cool Tees.
The latest addition to the Fuzzy Ink family is “I Am The Walrus” and yes my friend….you are the walrus. This shirt is an absolute showstopper. The walrus is an extremely regal character but yet he can still rock the trendy urban jacket with a plaid button-down underneath. He’s not formal but certainly could be.
I’ll bet he even brushes that mustache after he shines those tusks. Damn fine Walrus…the T Addict is jealous.

Published on January 4th, 2010. By Blake, under Cool Sites.
The hardest workin’ man in t-shirt blogging just announced his resolutions for the new year. Coty from Coty Gonzalez just gave us an update on his goals/accomplishments from last year and his plans for 2010. What may seem like lofty goals for most looks very attainable for Coty because of his consistency and exploding growth in popularity.
Andy at Hide Your Arms weighed in his thoughts about the new year and decided he has a few things he wants to get done. Beginning with more fans of his facebook page. Click on the link to fan HYA on Facebook because he is definitely an influencer in this space.
From all of us t addicts…..we’re pulling for you guys. We’re here to help in any way that we can. IN 2010 WE’RE IN IT TO WINNNN!!!!!
