unique t-shirt designs.

Story behind the picture:

Helsinki 9th of May: at the crossing of Annankatu and Yrjönkatu somebody had a few garments hanging in the wind.

Beautiful. The braille says: Need clothes? flying freedolf designs from the streets to the streets. In-joy!

flying freedolf t-shirt #2

I had the privilege of designing another birthday present. Printing by Jaakko @ El Perro Bizarro once again! The victim is a blonde who allegedly keeps saying memorable things. So the design consists of her quotes. As far as I've heard, Mari was happy with the result. Makes me happy to hear :) Illustrator doodling:

Unique designs at El Perro Bizarro in Helsinki

My brother's birthday was knocking already on the door when I realized I don't have anything for him. Usually I moan about these things for ages, except this time when I knew what I wanted to bless him with the moment the thought struck my mind. He was going to get a t-shirt with a unique design. But who does this?

Apparently El Perro Bizarro does on Eerikinkatu 1, behind Forum. A very nice and clean street wear store with an incredibly friendly and laid back atmosphere. The staff (who I met) Jaakko, Jaakko and Jenni are more than eager to help you out and Jaakko was definitely one of the coolest shopkeepers I've met so far in Helsinki, very helpful and very talkative. We need more of these people!

The shop's been around since January and you can get yourself some really interesting t-shirts, jeans, accessories, sweaters and hoodies from brands like White Moment, Sala-J, Mount Zion, Wemoto, Lee and Volcom. Then if these designs doesn't fit your visions of uniqueness, you can get your own design printed with hi-tech technology in no-time. Just provide Jaakko with a vector image (from Illustrator for example) and he'll do an A4 print on a t-shirt for about 27€ (t-shirt and job included).

Here's the process:

The final design - (first time using Illustrator!) - Gold print on a black t-shirt is the vision.

The product - radical!

Thank you very much J&J&J @ El Perro Bizarro! Visit the Website and like them on facebook!

Oh yeah, Dick loved it (in-joyed it) and wore it with pride the same night!

This might seem irrational to some people ..actually most people but very rational to the little niche of biker boys and girls.

I was hoping to get something to munch on from the neighborhood shop eleven in the night, only to find out that their boss only pays double salary until ten. Luckily we have a pizzeria next door. So I get my 5€ night pizza, get out on the street and I realize:

The roads are dry.

It hits me: I have a front rim lying unused in my basement and pedals in my bag. All i need is a frame, a handlebar, a stem, a rear wheel, cranks, a chain, a seat tube, a saddle/seat, some grips, a headset, a bottom bracket, a chainring, a cog, some grease and some money. I'll keep you all posted about this, this ought to be something very exciting. I promise to have a bike built up before this blog have reached 3 000 page views!

I'll teach you all how to build a bike in the making! You've all seen these earlier productions, but because of the topic, they're getting posted once again. In-joy!

By the way, if you would be interested, I'm more than happy to build a bike for you too (situated in Finland, eli suomeks eller på svenska). Contact me!

Alas! A fifth one is coming and it's going to be breath taking!
