Co-Tee TV 83: Late Christmas, Tiny Celestial and Voyeurism

In this episode of Co-Tee TV I wear Make It So by Might Tees and review Urban Surveillance/Voyeurism 1984 by Tiny Celestial, a brand started by Duane Brown as an an outlet for his creative ideas and has fueled his interest in art, design and culture.

By the way, this is a little weird but I am playing catch up. You see, I recored a bunch of episodes earlier this year but never posted them. As such, some of the things that I talk about will seem grossly out of date. My apologies. Casualties like this happen when you’re stressing out over finishing a PhD. Needless to say, I will be posting these episodes over the next few days!

You can also watch this episode on Vimeo or blip.tv and download and sync all episodes to your iPod, iPhone or iPad by subscribing for free to Co-Tee TV in the iTunes Store.

Coty’s Thoughts:

Urban Surveillance/Voyeurism 1984 by Tiny Celestial (designed by Lewis JC). Pros: Love the brand name, it screams fun! Nice postcard including in the package featuring the Tiny Celestial story. The white American Apparel T-Shirt fit well as always. I really dug the idea of the T-Shirt – I’m a big George Orwell / 1984 fan so this shirt was perfect me. I loved the typography of the T-Shirt and the fact that they took elements from the book and incorporated into the design. The tiny text makes you want to run up to the person wearing the tee to take a closer look. I’m not the biggest fan of teal, but I think that it works quite well on white. The shirt came packaged in a very unique and small box.

Suggestions: A lot of tape on the box made it a bit difficult to open. Shirt was very wrinkled – this might be solved by better folding or a bigger box. I’ve always said that initially opening up the package and your first thoughts of the product will fuel your love for the T-Shirt. I loved the design, but disliked that it was so wrinkled. Luckily, this problem can easily be fixed with a hot iron.

Price: Bummer, no Longer Available For Sale.

[NOTE: I usually have a gallery of photos right around here in the review post, but for some reason, I can't seem to locate the photos that I took for Episodes 83 and 84. Instead of prolonging the wait to get these episodes out, I have decided to go ahead and publish the post minus the gallery. So don't worry, the galleries aren't gone for good, they'll just be missing in Episodes 83 and 84].

Check Out Glennz Illustration Process

These are great. On of my favorite T-Shirt illustrators, Glenn Jones or Glennz Tees recently posted a couple of videos on Vimeo featuring his illustration process. Check out some concept Glennz designs go from blank slate to full fledged T-Shirt design. If you like these designs you can vote for them here so that they potentially can go to print. Rad.

But That’s All I’m Allowed To Say: Awesome Apple T-Shirt

I thought that I’d post this exclusive Apple T-Shirt while it’s making the rounds on the Internet. I first spotted it over at Cult of Mac, but later realized that it was originally posted over at iLounge. The shirt simply reads:

“I visited the Apple campus. But that’s all I’m allowed to say.”

So awesome. The shirt sells for $17, but to get one you’ll need to get you butt over to the Apple Headquarters in Cupertino, California. Why? Because this shirt is only sold (officially) at the official Apple Company Store. I’ve been there. It is awesome. If you’re an Apple fanboy/fangirl then you MUST visit the 1 Infinite Loop before you die.

Of course, if you’re looking for more Apple tees, you’ll need to check out my list of 101 Apple T-Shirts.
