Womens Basketball - George Bellows Art

Here's a design I've just uploaded to RetroRanger...its our Womens Basketball 1903 T-Shirt. I'm real excited to make this one available because it incorporates a woman basketball player as drawn for the 1903 Ohio State University yearbook by famous American artist George Bellows. Bellows was the art director for the Makio that one year but then dropped out of OSU to go be a baseball player. When that didn't work out he went to New York and art stardom. I was real lucky to get a hold of the 1903 Makio and found this drawing too cool to not put it on a shirt. Dig those quilted pants!

Classic Cat T-Shirt - Sunset Strip Strippers

We've got a new storefront working over at Artsnow.com. Its a Chinese knock-off of Cafepress, but with some cool wrinkles, not the least of which is a free store with unlimited items and unlimited images. I've started a store called "Sixties Fashion" which I'm gonna fill up with Sixties stuff, duh.
This design is something I lifted off an old book of matches. I've been investigating old matchbook covers for graphics. There small size has meant for very basic graphics, perfect to make a transition onto a t-shirt.
Anyhoo, this design is for The Classic Cat, which was the top strip joint on Sunset Strip back in the sixties. The place was big with celebrities...actors like Bob Crane and musicians like Jim Morrison. Check out The Classic Cat T-Shirt at Sixties Fashion.

Big Johnson T-Shirt

I get a lot of Google traffic to RetroRanger from people searching for "Big Johnson." I imagine the searchers are disappointed to find that the match they think they've found is actually for my Walter "Big Train" Johnson t-shirt. I have no idea whether Walter had a big johnson or not, but he did have the greatest fastball of his time, which translated into 3508 career strike-outs and 110 shutouts pitched.

Y107 Nashville T-Shirt

We're launching a new category of designs over at RetroRanger...we call it the Radio Graveyard. Through all my years in radio one thing that always astounded me was how radio management would make a format change and just toss away years of branding. As someone involved in programming and promotions, it was always a major bummer to see the hard efforts at community involvement (yes, bar promotions and car dealership remotes) go down the drain with any new format change.
Plus, great graphics and art that meant a lot to many people were chucked into the nearest dumpster. I just worked up our first entry in the Radio Graveyard...some excellent old art from Y107, which was a kick-ass fun CHR station in Nashville in the 80s and early 90s. Sadly killed by the corporate suits.
