Hello one and all.

Todays Tshirt of the day is one that I’ve been meaning to talk about for ages.
Some of you will undoubtedly remember the brilliant design called The Itch from local Capetonian design guru Simon.
This time he brings us more of his simplistic yet perfectly balanced design magic with the highly popular, How long is a piece of string?

While the simple elements of this design may be very different from the other more flamboyant designs that are submitted on the Springleap site, what it lacks in busyness it more than makes up with in terms of creativity and execution.
How long is a piece of string is a design that takes the black canvas of the shirt and makes it jump right out at you with well positioned and carefully selected colour tones.
So many people that have come into the store and seen this design have fallen instantly in love with the clever idea and brilliant delivery.

Just how long was a piece of string?
The age old question has been revamped and pimped by one of our favourite Springleap regulars Simon.
The question as you probably know, is an old quirky rhetoric that requires no answer.
How long was a piece of string?….who knows.

Simon is well known for his funny designs that are thought provoking and also damn cute…his latest submissions to the compo have followed suit and had many of us here at Springleap chuckling.
You must definitely check out his new submissions, CMY… and Vitamin A , if you haven’t already done so.
Remember today is the final day to vote so if you like his new designs show some love and vote.

So what did Simon have to say about his own design?!
Well, here’s a quick look at what he said on the Springleap site itself:
“How long is a piece of string?
“Double the length from the middle to one end…” String seems almost as if it were a thing of the past. I certainly haven’t used string for a very long time.”
“When last did you hug your string?”

Greeting all.

Living in the city has its perks…you can go party anytime, go watch a movie and of course have high speed internet…but are such modern luxuries tainting our perception of what is important? Are we missing out on things that we as humans really need?
That certain something I’m talking about in contact with nature.
Todays Tshirt of the Day by Mollyjey is a nature inspired design that pushes all the right “back to basics” buttons…this one is called Forest in my mind.

Forest in my mind is firstly an ultra striking design that uses natural elements along with simplistic design.
The simplicity of the design undoubtedly adds to the overall feel of the image….nature is simple, whether it be in its beauty or brutality…but simple nonetheless.
The colours of the design and shirt itself are all complimentary and strike a perfect balance that is very feng shui in my opinion.

Here comes the ultimate pimp fro…..errr YO.

Todays Tshirt of the Day is a design that is backed full of serious funk-deluxe energy.
One of the most symbolic hairstyles of the urban culture and youth of the 60’s-70’s has to be the formidable afro.
Souf’s winning design Afrolution combines the power of the fro with some forward thinking design might.

Afrolution came into being when Souf was pondering over the famous evolution of man pictures and wondered if he could apply it to the evolution of the afro…needless to say he could and did a fine job in the process.
Whenever I look at this design it not only makes me think of evolution but also the power levels of the ultimate pimp
Ok so maybe I’m making a gross generalisation of the stereotypical pimp….which is usually clad in a bakkie load of bling and a purple velvet suit LOL.
