One day we will all be enslaved by robots. I say this with a feeling of inevitability, infact I’ve already accepted it. What better way to show this acceptance than by getting the ass kissing started early with this tee “Hail” from Iron on Resistance. New robot masters we salute you! Its $20 (£11, EUR 16)
About Iron on Resistance

“Iron-On Resistance was created by Dave Rau and Josh Bertrand, two artists in Tampa, Florida. We believe in making affordable art so that everyone can enjoy great images and ideas. The name Iron-On Resistance is a play on our love for social and political poster art.”

“The resurgence of the tshirt is alive and well, but we’re interested in the tshirt as an art medium. With so little public space available for art some of us turn to a street sign, abandon building or overpass; we think shirts are just as good of a surface.”

Today is a very proud day for HipHipUK. Its a monumental moment and milestone for all blogs, yes today the site is 10 days old. I’m still having a lot of fun with it and I’m exorcising my usual seven day itch demons when I start a new project. Here’s what is coming up in the next ten days:

- Interview with Ant from Split the Atom

- Interview with Go Ape Shirts about the challenges of starting a new label

- Comparison of all the design competition sites

- More t-shirt gems from cyberspace

- Competition Winners & more music no-one listens to

Thanks for reading!

I’ve decided to extend the launch competition deadline by another seven days. It will now close on 5th July to give site newcomers a chance to get involved. If you haven’t entered yet, you can read about it here

My favourite t-shirt of all time is “Ghost Ship” by Enclothe. Enclothe for anyone who doesnt know are one of the webs best small labels and the brainchild of just one man, Derek. I chatted to Derek about the future of the brand and how it all came about. Derek was also kind enough to provide an exclusive 20% discount for hiphipuk readers and gave me the exclusive on three new enclothe designs.

I have a favourite new t-shirt store and its the thoroughly excellent Headline Shirts. I’ve only just discovered them and their provocative range of current news story inspired satire. I took some time to talk with Headlines Jake Ginsky about the brand and the recently relaunched site.

“Headlines were founded in 2004 and based in San Francisco. the brand is not afraid to take sides or stir controversy. Its satirical designs take aim at politically sensitive issues such as foreign attitudes towards the U.S., racial inequality”

I bet the designs are real conversation starters. I found it really hard to pick just a few favourites, but here goes:

Noahs Dilemma

Sciences whipping boy, Creationism. The butt of so many jokes I like that in this tee the joke is more subtle. Each Tee has an accompanying news story or background information about the design. Excerpt from this one’s is
“Dinosaurs - or ‘Creation Lizards’ as they will henceforth be known - did not predate humans by some 200 million years. Rather, they walked with Adam and Eve and may have even had a hand in the Jesus’ crucifixion.” Brilliant!
