Gorillaz Geep T-Shirt, hoodie, sweater, longsleeve and ladies t-shirt

Finger Jungle by MartaZubieta was the contest’s First Place winner, and it’s very cool to see such an eccentric piece rewarded Gorillaz Geep T-Shirt . The mint and pink color palette feels fresh and summery, and also prevents the concept from veering into overly spooky territory. I like the way it combines the texture of the green area, which is so vaguely defined as to read equally well as seaweed, hair, or something else, with the almost optical illusion of the fingers that jut through the strings and reach out for the viewer. This is a repeating pattern, but done skillfully and printed at the perfect sizing so that most viewers will never notice the repeats.The Blast by nicebleed claimed Second Place. It’s a space shirt with a difference, eschewing the usual blue tones and stars for an unusual view of a spaceman walking through a mysterious landscape while everything around him glows with a sickly, uncomfortable shade of orange. There’s a real tension created here, with the astronaut’s slumped posture indicating that something isn’t right. A closer look reveals something even more interesting- the entire scene, even the hapless explorer, is covered in glitches. Like video errors, pixels form odd patterns and textures throughout the piece. It’s a unique way of expressing that something is alien, and that reality itself might have broken.Radial by PolySciGuy earned Third Place. With its stark look of black ink on a white tee, the design is instantly bold and impactful. The line tapers and expands in a way that expresses motion, like the ripples coming off a droplet of water. There’s also something hypnotic about it, drawing the eye of the viewer directly into the center of the tee. Some will see it as purely abstract, while others might see a wormhole or whirlpool. Either way, you’re unlikely to have another shirt like it.Beyond the top three, there’s still a lot of quality design in the mix. Here’s a quick look at two of my favorites from the competition…
