Fantastic Blognanza!

Its title may be somewhat misleading, since, from the looks of it, Lucha Workshop does not actually engage in wrestling activities, let alone doing so in any Spanish-speaking countries. Lucha Workshop does, however, produce t-shirts — t-shirts that we like — which would expalin its presence here at the Blognanza. Convenient!

I’m going to take the unimaginitive route for a moment and note that Lucha’s designs are monochromatic. Why would I mention this? Single-color prints aren’t anything new, you might protest. Well, that might be true, but the observation seemed fitting given the particular attitude that Lucha’s shirts exude.

It’s an attitude with a certain, as the French say, “I don’t know what.” It’s a sketched attitude, an attitude just removed from reality, an “oh man I just thought of an awesome image I need to get it on paper now” sort of attitude. I’d imagine you might end up with a Lucha design if you walked up to an art major, gave her a technical pen, and offered an enthusiastic “Go nuts!” before adding, “But make it quick, I have class in twenty minutes.”

Not to suggest that the designs at the Lucha Workshop lack craftmanship. Take a gander at their nautical whozit, entitled “Ship”:

I also found their “Saki” somewhat endearing, but I’ll be darned if I know what the title is supposed to mean. I’m betting Greg or Joe might:

Also worth noting is the workshop’s penchant for handbag production, particularly the production of handbags that sport designs already featured on their t-shirts. Economical! Speaking of which, their shirts sell for the conventional price of $20 USD. The handbags, made of tougher stuff, are around 20 to 30 dollars more expensive, though. The same can be said of most receptacles these days, I think.

Head on dowwwnn to Lucha Workshop for a sizable portion of your t-shirt shopping needs! They would probably appreciate the patronage.
