Some more awesome, cool, trendy, t shirts and gear from Kippygo Designs.




First, we have this amusing "judgemental" design, inspired by the new wave fashion guru. You know those trendy "princess" and "spoiled rotten" t shirts? Well now you can top the collection with this retro style Judgemental tee. Presented with an air of retro 50's style, including 1950's ad art, this cool t-shirt is hot and waiting to be shown off. Whether you want to flaunt your inner snob, or make fun of the yuppies, this trendy tee is available in loads of different styles (and also on coffee cups and sweatshirts, etc!).








You remember the Team Jolie and Team Aniston trend? Team this, team that. Don't care who Brad Pitt's current love interest is? Want to show the world you honestly don't care, don't give a damn, and never will? Try this "Team Idon'tgiveadamn" design on for size and show the world your apathetic view of celebrity. This tee design is completely original and definitely a trendsetter.






And finally, to catch up with the times, Kippygo has added a new TV & Movie Gear section, with cool Napoleon Dynamite Tees and Pee-Wee's Playhouse quote t shirts to start. Any ideas for other awesome designs? Drop us a note and let us know! Here's what we have so far:








Connect the dots, LA LA LA LA! How could anyone forget Pee-Wee Herman and his crazy songs and quotes? Now you can have this infamous song quote on a t shirt, button, mug, or more!








I know you are but what am I? Do you remember using this to insult your siblings? Ah, 1980's Saturday morning television.









Just make yourself a quesadilluh! (Quesadilla, we realise, is the correct spelling. However, that takes away from the movie effect).










The t shirt for chapstick addicts: But my lips hurt real bad!









Why don't you go tell your mom to shut up? This is when Napoleon and Don get into an argument. Some real insults going on here...

Okay, blogfans (I just wanted an excuse to use that word). I just thought I'd give up an update regarding what we're up to in terms of ideas and designs.





For those of you who've been visiting Kippygo Designs from the beginning, you'll see that we've made a few changes to the layout in the past couple of weeks. This was for purely logistical reasons, and I think it works better in the end. Now there's more space to practically promote the work and designs of other artists I admire, and to make the shopfront more clean.





Speaking of promoting other artists, I've decided to make a plunge into the Cafepress affiliate program, because there's a lot of sales potential there. Plus it'll give you, the browsers and buyers, more options and (most important) more choice. What does this means on a practical level? It means I'll be showcasing more designs, not necessarily my own, but ones I like or find suitable, in my shop. It means you'll be seeing a lot more awesome t shirts and the like.





It also means I'll be showcasing other work in this blog, stuff I find really amusing or appropriate.



I've already started a liberal political shop independent of Kippygo Designs (I realise not everyone has the same political views and found it best to keep them on their own). The Liberated currently features my designs only (save a few others), but I intend to make it a predominantly affiliate store. There are so many awesome designs out there already and I'm happy to promote other work as much as my own. Plus, if a great design already exists then that's the design that deserves the credit.





I was hoping to finish the affiliate-oriented version of The Liberated by the end of this week, but it seems that was pushing it. I'm now hoping to finish by the end of next week. Here's a brief run-down of what the new version will include, sections of design on/about:




  • Anti-Bush, Anti-GOP, Anti-Administration
  • War and Peace
  • Current Events and Hot Issues
  • Voting
  • 2008 Election Candidates and Hopefuls
  • The Environment
  • Civil Liberties and Freedom
  • LGBT
  • Women's Issues and Rights
  • Liberal Gear
  • 1940's Propaganda (brought up to date -- these are honestly some of the coolest designs I've ever seen someone do).



Some sections remain unchanged, with simply more designs added, while others are completely new.





If you're not into politics and the gear on Kippygo Designs doesn't float your boat, why not search the Cafepress Marketplace for stuff that's more you? With over 2.5 million designs and constantly growing, you're bound to find something you love!

Kippygo Designs has created a new product section for clever, funny, pop, & trendy sayings, mottos, and statements. We're talking trendsetting here (read: Belushi COLLEGE shirt!). Obviously we'll be adding more, and as always are up for suggestions. Also, free customizations! Here's what we have so far:






Subliminal messages are everywhere we go, in advertising and on the street. Why not use subliminal messenging to secure yourself some new friends? Well, it's worth a try anyway.
