Just a reminder...

In case you've forgotten, or didn't know, Design By Humans' after holiday sale ends when this weekend does. As mentioned before, there are lots of great shirts at about 20% off regular prices, but there are also lots of great shirts for sale at $10, which clocks in at a little under or over 50%, depending on the shirt. It pays to search a bit deeper in the catalog if you want to snag a $10 winner... many of them are sold-down stock where one or two sizes are all that remains, but there are also lots of forgotten winners, like Tom Burns' We Are In This Alone. Its a shirt that struck me early... with its use of old-time family imagery, it conjures up an anonymity, an eeriness, that is very close to home. The wisps of whatever emanating from the screens each character holds helps keep a haunting isolation in the design. It's an image that requires a little extra thinking, but the thought put in makes it that much more appealing. I can't wait to see this one up close and personal, especially to check out the abalone-foil accents... I think that will end up adding a lot of character to what I find to be a thought-provoking tee.
