Holiday Matinee

Franca Schulte — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 19:12:01 +0000

Recently I was introduced to Holiday Matinee, a creative company who makes sure they don’t miss a snitch. They started in 1999 to target talented friends – musicians, artists, entrepreneurs and other people doing cool stuff. They must have done something right, because 10 years later they’ve become bigger and better than ever, making sure they are up with the times and engaged in media, good design and social responsibility.

The people who are involved in this company are people who believe in what they do, and are behind every step they take whatever direction that might be. They have the right attitude to succeed, and they have the material to prove it. They live by the motto, “Love your work. Work your love.” I’m a big fan of quotes and this is definitely one I will think twice about. Loving what you do is very important, and I think it’s so sad to think that there are people out there that just work for the sake of working, and don’t know the difference between ‘making money’, and ‘a job’.

After huge success, Holiday Matinee has just launched a new store that gives a major nod to Mother Earth. Check it out at SupermarkerHQ. In particular, don’t miss their Artist Series which helps to lower carbon footprint, improves air quality and reduces utility bills by donating 100% of the proceeds to Plant-It2020. Each purchase will help plant, maintain and protect twenty trees. All Artist series shirts are printed on tagless 100% organic American Apparel T-shirts such as this one:

This shirt is called ‘Words’ and I love it. I sometimes go through those phases when you repeat a word numerous times till you think to yourself, what does this word even mean? Where did it come from and why is that associated with it’s particular meaning. Why do we not call piano’s waffles, and had someone named the piano a waffle from the start it would be completely normal to say “I’m going to go practice the waffle”. That’s why I enjoy this shirt because it’s just a whole bunch of words. One word may not necessarily mean anything, but when put together create meaning. Well the words on this shirt are juts so random that even though they are a bunch of words in the same place, it still makes no sense. That’s the way I sometimes feel about words, meaning and life. That’s why I tend to make up my own words more often than not

Thanks Holiday Matinee!

This one is just in time for halloween. The print even covers the entire tee.

Nice job DBH.

And…?

This tee is dedicated to all those stories your friends tell you that leave you saying “And…”

I think I definitely need a few of these for my friends. Except I don’t think anyone is going to get it unless I explain it.

Darth Vader gets redone.

I’ve always associated Marc Ecko with ugly, crap, t-shirts. So I was very surprised when I saw this one by them. This definitely brings a new twist to the class Star Wars tee.

And lucky for you, if vader isn’t your man… they have more…

Yes I’m looking at you.

Is anyone else a little creeped out by this guy? Maybe that’s why it’s so intriguing. This super sized print is called "Too much work eat my face" and is from our buddies at Design By Humans.

I love the design on this newly released Threadless tee. Go to the product page and check out the huge image to see all the detail. Plus, how about that message? “True Love Will Find You In The End.”

Buy this for that hopeless romantic in your life.

Swooooooosh tee.

Mike — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 01:05:49 +0000

No, I’m not talking about a Nike swooosh tee. This is even better. What I love about this is that it’s in one color. Simple and well done. And what I really love about this is that Toke is having a 50% off sale! Some items are discounted even further. This tee was 25 pounds, it is now only 10.

Now I must say, THANK GOD tomorrow is friday. It’s been a very long week at the “day job.” I’m looking forward to this weekend.

A Few Lines

Mike — Tue, 27 May 2008 15:54:15 +0000

Who would have ever thought that a few lines on a tee could look so good. So uhh, I’m assuming that these are representing a tree. And what about the 83? Just thrown in there to look cool? Anyone know? This tee is from the futuristic ISO50.

Without Me, It’s Akumu Ink’s New Tee

Rangga — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 10:31:28 +0000

“Nothing is greater or more devastating
than the one that has failed you.”

Could anyone translate the meaning behind it? Oh yeah, I’m not poetry-smart guy. As usual, Akumu Ink comes out mysteriously awesome tee shirt with nightly, dark theme aura. It’s black again, and I’m started to worry that their “all black” tee shirts collection will get tired soon.

Beside the new Without Me tee shirt (here’s link to product page), Akumu Ink also came with another new tee shirt called Nevermore and offers sale 15% off for Medusa’s Three and Cut, cut T-shirt (image below)

Minimalism, for those who know how to appreciate it — check out Glyph’s T-shirts here. Okay, I cannot say more. I’m practicing minimalism.
