Unioreja (via Tolky Monkys)

Crazy Rabbit Riding Giant Robot T-Shirt"What's this? a collared tee on t-shirt connoisseur? That's hardly fitting of the fancy free and wonderous themes I expect here, and it's just not approprite." -- I'd usually agree, but this design is just too damn cool. Behold! Unioreja and his lapis-rabbity-thingy-robot of doom!  Tolky Monkys (or en espanol) has many funky tees, all based on impossible characerters of their own design. Based in Madrid, they now ship internationally -- ¡hurra!

Imitation of Life (via Shirt Fight)

Ghost In The Shell Robot Girl at Computer T-ShirtPlug-in with the latest winner over at Shirt Fight -- the Imitation of Life tee. Shirt Fight has a weekly slug-fest design contest decided by user voting , and has already built up a respectable collection of unique designs. This week's K.O. t-shirt is very Ghost In The Shell-esque, and I think it is deserving of this week's title belt.

WiiExploded (via WiiExploded)

Exploded View of a Nintendo Wii T-ShirtThis is the third piece of exploded electronics posted here at t-shirt connoisseur so far -- all from the same vendor. The theme is starting to wear a little thin, so this is the last one for a little while: introducing the WiiExploxed tee. To be honest, I haven't even touched my Wii since Mario Kart.

Electrobug (via Busted Tees)

Scarab robot insect t-shirtThe Electrobug tee from Busted Tees makes me think of the clockwork bug from the film Chronos (which I rather enjoyed). This is a stunning t-shirt design, which I can't wait to add to my closet.

My favourite t-shirt from Amorphia Apparel's new theme line-up: Sir Whale. This adds to the other theme collections @ Amorphia -- Teach the Controversy, and SCIENCE! I recently interviewed the mind behind the designs, Jemery Kalgreen -- you can read the interview here.

Alternate name: Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

Death Star (via Look At Me)

The Death Star Blue Prints T-ShirtThe key word here is death. The Death Star t-shirt from Look At Me Shirts reminds me of the deep moment in the film Clerks, when the two main characters (Randall & Dante) discuss the grim realities of the destruction of the 2nd Death Star in Return of the Jedi.

"My friend here is trying to convince me that any independent contractors who were working on the uncompleted Death Star, were innocent victims when they were destroyed by the Rebels."

Kind of makes you think. Or not.

Crocodile and Shark (via Donkeyshines)

yin yang crocodile and shark circle t-shirt
The circle of life is complete with the Crocodile and Shark tee from Donkeyshines. This seems like the sort of epic duel that they might do on that lame Discoverl Channel show, Animal Face-off. I say lame, yet I don't miss an episode...

Control Freak (via Moog Royale)

remote control freak robot t-shirtYou could read into this design and muse over free will and man's control over his own destiny -- I just like it because it has a robot. The Control Freak t-shirt design comes courtesy Moog Royale. I like the shown white & red design, which they only sell as a sample, the main version of this design is blue and brown -- not that there's anything wrong with that.

Interactive Portal T-Shirt (via Thinkgeek)

valve portal t-shirt
Today @ Think Geek "The finished product you see here uses two wireless 5.8 GHz video cameras mounted in the front of each shirt along with two high-res LCD TFT screens. The camera in the orange shirt transmits the image to the blue shirt, and vise versa. In this manner it seems as if a fully functional portal has been created between the chests of both subjects. " Keep in mind today's date. Also keep in mind that one of Think Geek's products released on April the first turns out to be real... (my money is on the tauntaun sleepingbag.)
