If your thing is original shirt designs by up-and-coming artists, Blood is the New Black is your store. And this site delivers on its twin goals of aiding the careers of artists and giving consumers access to their works in a big way.
 
Some shirts, like Kiss Me Brutus or Dylan Haley's Boring, feature large, bold graphics that capture the imagination- when I looked at both of these shirts, I found myself imagining stories about what the illustrations did next.
 
Patrick Jilbert's Gold Teef for Errbody and Haters are at the other end of the spectrum, focusing on humor. His work tends to involve taking a hip-hop concept and tweaking it hilariously, which is enhanced by his scratchy, basic drawing style.
The variety of artists and styles is a big part of the draw for me, and there's a shirt for almost every taste. Although the prices are a bit high for some t-shirt consumers, keep an eye out for the Sales section- there are even Blind Bargain Bags available for some artists, fetching you 5 shirts for just $50.
