Where the Eagles Dare

The eagle has been used by many nations as a national symbol, depicting power, beauty and independence. Like all birds of prey, eagles have very large powerful hooked beaks for tearing flesh from their prey, strong legs, and powerful talons. They also have extremely keen eyesight to enable them to spot potential prey from a very long distance. This keen eyesight is primarily contributed by their extremely large pupils which cause minimal diffraction (scattering) of the incoming light. This picture of an eagle rushing through a burning ring of thorns symbolizes the continued endurance and braveness of this majestic bird. Inspired from Alistair MacLean's classic World War II novel and the motion picture adventure this design is also destined to become a classic.

CRIME TIME NEW EPISODE

Another of my CRIME TIME animated episode is up at youtube. Crime always pays - with big laughs in this clever series of rambunctious animated shorts. Shifty (The Criminal), a pint-sized pilferer with lofty ambitions and limited brainpower, perpetrates crimes from the sublime to the ridiculous - and never quite pulls them off, resulting in hilarious consequences. Rendered in a graphic style reminiscent of classic UPA shorts, the action is nothing short of... arresting! Shifty (The Criminal) pulls paint duty at the penitentiary, where, chased by a mean police dog, he has a brush with escape.

King Leo the lion is the unconditional king of the land while King eagle rules the skies and the clouds. Last there is King Shark the mighty emperor of the deep waters. This creative line represents every animal in a simple and graphic design painted on red, black and gray colors. Each animal also wears the crown of it's kingdom.

THE THINKER

We start our fall season with THE THINKER. THE THINKER is the newest design added at our ART collection and pictures a version of the famous sculpture by Auguste Rodin. At the ART collection you can find several designs that are variations of original museum paintings or sculptures ( these are well knows pieces of artwork found in museums around the world) usually presented with a funny or bizarre twist. Among the designs stand out the following: THE THINKER: Ivy has grown on top of the famous Auguste Rodin statue. SCREAM: Inspired by the famous painting by Edvard Munch but in a very electrical surrounding. MONALISA FRAGMENTED: Everyone knows that Mona Lisa is a puzzle. MAN GETS THE FINGER: Just imagine what would man have become if he got the finger from God? JAPANESE WAVES: Inspired from the famous Katsushika Hokusai color woodcut. PURE POP: Pop art variation.

Happy Animals line is completed

Finally after a few months from the day I started this line of designs I had the time to add the last 4 and complete a set of twelve (12) original designs. The Happy Animals line is a collection of 12 simple designs of farm and zoo animals originally created to decorate kid's clothing but later expanded so they can decorate even adult apparel. Since originally the designs were created to decorate kids clothing he main emphasis here was the vibrant colors. The representation of the animals on the other hand is very cartoony and simple and attention was given into their cute and goofy expressions. I recommend a set of the 12 different tiles that can decorate a kid's bathroom or serve as coasters.

I LOVE LA and other USA locations

A number of new designs went up today covering the old reliable I LOVE... t-shirt slogan. I must admit I have hold too long away from this one but I think it is time to visit it again! So what 's new and different with our designs? Well we are introducing a new type face for the acronyms of our locations. This is a similar text used for our new Teeteaser.com signature. It works very well because it emphasizes the negative space of the letters making them pop out in the color tees. I also stayed away form the heart symbol, maybe I will return to this sometime later but for the moment it felt better to spell the word "I love..." Last but not least we have added the crown. The crown is a very fashionable symbol of our days and it is used in many t-shirt lines we like. Our crown was first drawn on paper and later was digitally treated with my exclusive method of turning a hand drawing to a old print or crosshatch. Maybe one day I will post the Photoshop tutorial for this trick. So far you can choose from:

I LOVE LA I LOVE SF I LOVE AZ If the line becomes popular Iwill add more locations.

Name Branding and Signature

From now on all our apparel will have our brand name and domain URL "teeteeaser.com" and Nassos's signature printed on the upper back of the garment . Certain t-shirts that might have another design ( artwork ) for their back or apparel that the back is used for the main design will have the URL and signature print either incorporated into the main design or in another location. We have taken this step because we want to emphasize our commitment to create a recognizable and strong brand. We believe that our greatest asset is Nassos's work and by having it signed we adding the value and the attention it deserves.
On that note don't forget that you can still get a free drawing from Nassos's collection of Teeteaser drawings ( including GirlvsGirls and Girls in Uniforms! ) with every purchase or permanent link placement. To get your free drawing signed by EMMY award winning artist Nassos Vakalis click here.

Teeteaser Coat of Arms

In the European tradition a coat of arms is a design belonging to a particular person (or group of people) and used by them in a wide variety of ways in order to identify them amongst other groups. This is a unique design and it is different from a flag or a shield because a coat of arms is inheritable property, and generally descend to male lineal descendent's of the original arms grantee. Used primarily to establish identity in medieval battlefields these designs were placed on the cloth tunic worn over the knight's armor in order to identify the knight and to protect his armor from the heat. Following this early European tradition and trying to make things a bit more simple (or simplistic) we establishing our own coat of arms and we hope our customers and friends could wear this over their body in order to identify them selfs in the battle field of life as part of the "teeteaser" clan.
