That Irresistible Resist Today

Pardon the pun. But, as you all well know, puns are awesome.

I’d like to talk to you folks about Resist Today, one of the more familiar stores in the shirtosphere. Let’s get the important news out of the way. Resist Today is having a sale: for every $25 you spend in their store, they will demand that you choose a free shirt from their Sale Page! Mm-mmm, delicious free t-shirts.

Speaking of giving Resist Today money, have you seen this next t-shirt, one of their latest designs? I have.


War Eagle at Resist Today: $24.00

It’s difficult to elaborate on War Eagle’s info page: two of the noblest birds dukin’ it out over some snakish foodstuffs. The shirt’s highlights are too paint-blotty for my tastes, but the design’s otherwise clear composition saves the day. Even if I’d like this image to be a little cleaner, I can’t deny the inherent excellence of the eagle.


Rhino Collar at Resist Today: $38.00

Next up is Resist Today’s classy update of their old classic King Rhino. That about covers it, really! More options for the polophilic among us, I guess!

There you have it. Show Resist Today some love and save some cash on free t-shirts.

Free T-Shirts at Resist Today!

Both Andy at Hide Your Arms and Katrina at T-shirts around the Internet have already mentioned this, it’s still worth my doing so as well. Resist Today, who make slightly sinister but really awesome t-shirts and other art, have a sale going where for every $30 you spend, you get one of these t-shirts (your choice) for free!. That’s a pretty kick-ass deal.

The Eyes Have It

Eyes seem to be pretty popular as of late. And we’ve seen brains on tees before, too, though perhaps not quite as much. Now, if you had suggested the idea of combining the two ideas onto one shirt, I would have told you you were mad. Mad, I say! Well, it looks like Florian Baumgartner has proven me wrong:

If you look closely, you’ll see that in addition to the eye and the brain, 11 legs have been thrown in for good measure.

A related question: does anyone know why designs with oddly-placed eyes have become so popular as of late? I mean, I’m certainly a fan, but it’s a little eerie, don’t you think? Like, maybe the Illuminati is secretly influencing designers all over the world with a mind control ray (or flu shots, take your pick) to surreptitiously get their nefarious symbology incorporated into as many indie t-shirts as possible! Wouldn’t that be something? Of course, I’m not exactly sure how that would further their goal of world domination. But the Illuminati works in mysterious ways (or so I’m told).

Expensiveness: €15 (which is just about $19.97)

P.S.: Joe tells me I’m being paranoid about the Illuminati. Maybe I am.
P.P.S.: Or maybe… Maybe he’s one of them!!!

Resist Today, But Don’t Resist Resist Today

A couple of new releases over at Resist Today (whose website happened to get featured as an example of ornamentalism the other day in the well-Digged article Web Design-isms: 7 Surefire Styles that Work at Vitamin). Besides releasing a new colorway of Freak Show, they’ve also rolled out the dark and enigmatic The Fifth Eye.

The Fifth Eye NEW! at Resist Today

Resist Today seem to have a penchant for creepy two-headed guys (see Two Guys and an Octopus). They’ve also started using discharge printing, so the prints will be really soft. I don’t know what it is with eyes, but they seem to be popping up in a lot of designs recently (like the new one at Poketo mentioned below and the two recent releases mentioned here).

Anyway, it’s time for a couple closeup and detail pictures now!
