Tea-Shirt - Limited Edition T-Shirt by Kelvin Mason
We’re pleased to have our next shirt designed by Kelvin Mason of SubtopiaStudios.com. (Check out his “Spaceman” exhibition it’s absolutely badass.)
Kelvin Mason is an artist/designer/professor who lives in the Chicago suburbs. He studied at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto and worked designing t-shirts for a local company before venturing out on his own to found the short-lived company Black Current T-shirt Design. Going back to school, he studied printmaking at University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, and then printmaking and digital art The University of Arizona in Tucson. Since that time, he has worked for several multimedia companies and then took a job teaching at West Virginia Wesleyan College where he eventually became Chair of the Department of Art. Recently he relocated to Chicago where he now teaches interactive media studies and printmaking at North Central College and holds the position of Associate Professor of Art. Most of his spare time is now devoted to designing video games. He has no cats.
He’s got talent to spare and when he contacted us with his “Tea-Shirt” design, I jumped at the chance.

That’s good stuff! I’ll be snagging one tonight.
Hmmm. It seems you’ve got another shirt with an unintended double entendre. At first I just thought it was funny, but then I thought about having a tea bag on my shirt. I just can’t do it.
Aw, Gus, your manhood will be fine. Security, man, security.
The Amish there, they don’t drink no tea… Unless they’re on Rumspringa
Like this one alot! Everything about it is great, including the color. Green tea! Very current…
He’s my advisor at North Central College, and he’s really cool and my favorite teacher! I’m going to buy one and wear it to class and be super cool!!
Love it, Kelvin! Trying to buy it…
Kelvin Mason ROX!!
I like it, but I gotta agree with Gus on the ‘teabag’ issue. I’m secure in my manhood but I don’t need thirty guys on the street who aren’t telling me how much they like teabagging too…
Yes! I like this one. A tad snarky and witty and a great illustration. Very meta.
Oh no! It’s already on sale? I just got the new shirt notice e-mail in my inbox this afternoon! Has the release time changed from midnight?
I didn’t get my notice until this afternoon, I wanted a $10 shirt. love the design. Best one yet
I just got the e-mail too and I loved this one. I really wanted to get it but I guess it’s already on sale?
Aww, I think you guys need some kind of am/pm mnemonic device….
Cute. Punny. Great. Too slow on the draw.
I guess I won’t be buying this one….
I got the new shirt notice just this afternoon too. I was getting ready to big on it tonight…until I realized it went on sale last night. 200 Nipples, what’s up with that? I’m pretty disappointed.
Wow does that Kelvin have talent! If I wasn’t selling dolls and losing weight with that diet company i’d have all my eight children buy these shirts. Cute design and nice designer guy.
This is a good shirt… a good clean shirt.
I was just thinking, since this shirt has been “extended” for another 2 weeks, isn’t the shipping date going to be later than March 9th now?
Good question, Glu, but we’ll still ship the early buyers at the listed ship date.

Is it too late to get one of these?
