In constant denial? Refusing to accept how things really are? (how are they, really?) Childish or even hypocritical? Maybe just plain sarcastic?
This weird typography design is the latest addition to The Word series. Ink splashes and text in bright green that simply proposes "Let's pretend none of this ever happened".
So, be optimistic and carry on avoiding the painful truth like the rest of us -or simply express your strange kind of humor! Brought to you by Surreality.

Smoking Lorenzo
Lorenzo is a funny, colorful 3D -or, rather, isometric- character that adorns this beautiful creme t-shirt made by Sauerkids (Mark Moget & Taco Sipma, an artistic duo from the Netherlands). This green, four-legged fellow is a smoker, a fact that gives him a hilariously adult attitude that contrasts with his playful design. One of the best t-shirts I've seen, actually!

Cubes
I've been playing around with minimal designs based on cubes for sometime now. The results weren't what I had expected and I was about to give up when I stumbled upon a great font created by Svetoslav Simov and redesigned by Victor Saygin. I used it to make my Cubismo design. The letters spell "cubismo" but the outcome is almost abstract geometric art.
I believe it's great, whether in white background or in black and, by concentrating on the forms, I also came up with a rather good stationery! You can find Cubismo on a variety of products in my Surreality store.

Seeing red
This old-school design, with it's '70s flair, leaves a taste of Virgin Suicides in my mouth.I like the details of the hair flowing about and, most of all, I like the red glasses and the fine combination of red and green (not the most easy trick to pull, mind you!). The artist is Freddy Solis of 3 Miles store, a place of memories and good taste.

Lucha libre
Lucha libre is Spanish for free wrestling -a sport much adored in Mexico. Mexican luchadores provide a truly sensational show, based on their agility and their talent at performing astonishing aerial moves. Most luchadores are masked (a tradition that may have come down all the way from the Aztecs).
The mask of a menacing luchador is the basis for this powerful design from 21gunsalute, a store full of stylish, urban coolness.
I love the one-colored simplicity and, most of all, the angle of this side profile. This is a seriously great t-shirt and you really don't need to know anything about Lucha libre to appreciate it's modernity.

Moody
This print is moody, personal, surreal and utterly beautiful. It gives a dreamlike, menacing feeling in such a richly textured and detailed way, that you just have to admire. The artist is Aleksandr Pasevin, whose Pasevin store is small but really interesting.. His work consists of mixed media and photomanipulations, although you can see a wider variety of styles (all well-executed and eye-catching) in his great portfolio site.

EyePod
This t-shirt is brilliant! Not the easiest color to match (you can customize it, of course) but the idea is so clever, simple and well-executed, it's amazing. Forget modern gadgetry: we're talking about the real EyePod. Gwen Murphy has a talent for the charmingly off-beat and the designs to prove it. But this here is so stylish and surreal that I'm getting really envious!
