Father’s day at Springleap

Fathers day t


 Howdy guys and girls,

Well done DeeDeeKid, a really cute design. I hope we see some more. J

I would like to come back to the article I did the other day on Disposable fashion. I feel that the quote I had at the end of the article was a tad too much. Although I despise the business or moral philosophies of most companies I cannot generalise that all are evil. The real evil lies with all of us who recognise the issue but still do nothing. But enough about that.

Seeing as father’s day is around the corner and we at springleap only have awesome tee’s fit for kings, I’m sure one for the old man of the house would be most a welcomed treat. <Just a thought> I think my Dad would really like Gammizco’s Be somebody, just because it’s bright and has a laugh at Freud. J I went missioning online to look for father’s day tees, strange I know, needless to say I found a really cool little site that specialise in humorist tees. They pretty much cover anything from political to military humour. Military humour I hear you ask quizzically, click me, to find out more, more, more. But I managed to find a few that were actually quite amusing, check it out, you might be pleasantly surprised.

What do you think would be the ultimate Father’s day gift? I have never known what to buy for my old man, and really dread this time of the year. Maybe you could give me an idea??

Till next time

DeeDee Kid - Here Comes Trouble

Here Comes Trouble


Greetings friends.Springleap.com competition 1 for June is now over.
Our winning designer DeeDee Kid really pulled out all the stops on this styling winning design.
If you are a fan of crazy unique cartoon characters with a generous sprinkling of funk, then you are going to do cartwheels for this amazing design entitled Here Comes Trouble.

Whats the first thing that comes to mind when I think of DeeDee Kid’s Here Comes Trouble?
Hmmm, well I think this reminds me of early morning cartoons from the 80’s…they have a certain style that is unmistakable.
Actually Alex summed it up nicely: it reminded him of the Mr. Men characters.
You know those cute little quirky characters like Mr. Bump or Mr. Clumsy.
I used to love them when I was al little dude. Recently these characters have had an international rebirth and even here in South Africa stores have been collectively bombarding our fashion with these types of characters. The 2 shops at the top of the Mr. Men list are Mr. P and JayJays.
