Dope shirt would be better if it was a pocket tee with the chest badge on it but whatever.

Killer price too will cop

Look at me, I'm Shaun Cassidy!

Noted. I hope we have the opportunity to explore such options after this initial launch! We believe in marketing a quality product at a reasonable price, the cost of which rolls over to fund the next batch of product. No outlandish price points. Glad to hear you'll be supporting, that puts me even closer to funding the next release. I've already begun deciding how to tackle my next manga inspiration.

I must admit, this tee has become one of the favorites in my wardrobe for the fit alone. It's very soft and contours to the body well. Solid, lightweight construction.

Our tees are printed onto fashion-fit Next Level blanks, about 4.30oz with a 90% cotton / 10% polyester blend.

Keeping true to our premise of exclusivity, we unfortunately won't be reprinting/restocking this design after this initial run. If the interest is there, I can say our next planned release (which I am especially hyped for) will definitely be in a black colorway that ties into one of my favorite manga of all time.

I will update the initial post with the tumblr and facebook links as soon as I get off work as well.

Thanks for your interest!

As a reminder, the CRIMEBRAND store opens at midnight!

There are only 12 of the Poison tees in existence, meaning only 3 or 4 in each size with no restock.

I just wanted to extend a sincere thank you to all who have helped make the CRIMEBRAND opening a successful outing. As the designer responsible for all visual aspects of the project, I couldn't be more excited that people dig the work we've been able to put out. Though it's necessary to start small, it's these first steps that establish a solid foundation for the future.

Once these last couple of tees find a home, I'd love to share some insight as to the next release and the manga involved. All I can say at the moment is, it's gonna be badass.

From all of us involved here at CRIMEBRAND, thanks for your support! We can't build without you.

Finally getting a chance to resume working on CRIMEBRAND after leaving my day job last week. Looking forward to building things up and taking it on the road to Tampa in January (finishing out my degree at USF). There are a couple of the the launch tees still without homes, so be on lookout for a Black Friday deal... The revenue from each launch funds the next; as such, I need to clear the initial stock before I can begin work on the next wave.

In the meantime, I have been toying with the idea of doing a series of illustrated Gundam prints. Finished drawing this 4-color print of the RX-0 Unicorn a day or so ago. This print measures 18"H x 24"W.

I got this shirt a few weeks before the new year along with some shit from only. The shirt fits perfect and got a lot of questions about it. The design was executed perfectly and i used to be a huge fan of one piece too.

So glad you dig the shirt! I appreciate your support, can't tell you how awesome it feels to know someone other than myself is stoked about it, haha. Thanks!
