Cisz and the City
Popular Brazil-born artist Henderson Cisz is capturing our great cities for all their fascination and glory, and pleasing the masses.
A career as an artist was not initially apparent to Henderson Cisz, despite a glaring affinity for fine art. However, a few years in banking firmly set his mind to pursue art professionally, when his passion for it could longer be sated by mere hobby. Thus, he moved to London in 1986, and studied painting to begin his greatest journey - his career as an artist.
Henderson Cisz is a well travelled man, something that affects the style of his work. The subjects of his paintings well express the lifestyle of a nomadic man adept to city life. His seascapes counter the high-speed city pace, promising to slow time in its tracks. Yet Henderson Cisz's cityscapes are not painted with disdain; their vibrant, lively brush strokes and contrasting colours capture all of the life and excitement of the city, whilst airbrushing over the grey patches of dreary day-to-day tedium.
Henderson Cisz's seascapes and tropical beaches connote the simple joy of the peaceful, turquoise water and clear skies, replacing any trace of anxiety with a wash of calm. In contrast, Cisz's cityscapes are loud, fast-paced and fun, highlighting the exciting, spontaneous pulse of the city. It could easily be assumed that the contrasting styles of landscapes – the sea and the city – have been created by two different artists. What unites them is their presentation - always optimistic, almost nostalgic in essence, making you wish it were possible to step into paintings, just so you could experience the exciting rush of the city, and then forget the world on an alien beach. It is little wonder that Henderson Cisz's paintings and limited edition prints sell like hot cakes – they offer a slice of that peace, or of that excitement. When I look at the deserted beach I feel calm; when I look at his cityscapes I crave the excitement and adventure that great cities effortlessly advertise.
Cities represent such extreme juxtaposition – a place of fun and danger, a land of opportunity, but also poverty – cities seem to hold in their hands a mixture of people at distinct opposite ends of the social scale, who all gravitate towards the it like moths to a lantern. Its seductive beauty; promise of jobs and money, of culture and of adventure, all mask the dredges of society beneath – the opportunist thieves, the inhabitants trapped by poverty; the overworked, de-spirited hearts scattered throughout the ranks.
Leading a lifestyle of the wanderer has paid off - working from the hundreds of photographs he has taken throughout his travels, Henderson Cisz's style appeases every taste: Painted in oils, acrylics and watercolours, Henderson Cisz creates the picturesque quintessential English streets, lined with old street lamps and hornbeam trees, and back-dropped with black taxis, red buses and men in crisp suits. Then there are the French provincial markets, woven with silver birches and stalls with awnings. And for those who share a kindred spirit with the city that never sleeps, you can find your partner painting in the depictions of the vibrant lights, elegant women, yellow cabs and skyscrapers of New York. Henderson Cisz's limited edition prints on paper and canvas are available here.
In fact, every roaring city seems to have its sleepy counterpart – for every nocturnal city there, by her side, is her quaint, cobbled sister. The Eiffel Tower of Paris can be admired in one painting behind the lavishly hub-capped, winged cars of the 20's, and set against the flattering light of early-morning, pastel skies, nodding to the romantic scenes of our world's greatest cities. These amorous cityscapes speak for the matured city - both charming and familiar. In contrast, the sultry, dim lights of the nighttime city, painted in primary reds and blues, recreate the vibrant city that is full of mystery and the unknown.
Henderson Cisz's confident use of colour creates very different meanings in all of his paintings; each one harbours a different mood. The seascapes are washed with blue – a colour that is associated with calm and is said to incite creativity; red quickens the heartbeat and improves concentration, and Cisz generously ladles the rouge over his cityscapes.
Henderson Cisz's love for the city is contagious, spread through his paintings and limited edition prints; he catches the diverse nature and acute drama of metropolitan life, and then injects a note of calm through his seascapes.
Henderson Cisz's works are frequently exhibited in London galleries and international art fairs, and are currently available to purchase from www.CollectorsPrints.co.uk
Lucy Boyd biography
If my life were a painting, I hope it would be impressionistic; a jumble of textures and expressive colours; if it were a soundtrack, sounds would flit chaotically between Led Zeppelin, Ray Charles, Debussy and Fleetwood Mac.
I have a huge passion for creative writing and interests in travel, art and design, crafts, theatre and music. Having graduated from The University of Reading, in English and Film & Theatre, I am currently working as a writer/editor for a digital publishing company called locations4business.
I'm fascinated with cultures and travelling, having caught the bug at a young age when my mum took me to India. I've since seen parts of Eastern Europe, Morocco, Belize, Guatemala, the Caribbean, Thailand, Laos, India, and Nepal.
I revere a man called Utpal, who lives in a luscious wild garden by the Ganges, quotes Isaac Newton and is so fulfilled in life that he wishes happiness for everyone.
I measure a person's success by the fatness of their smile and not their wallet. If I achieve my Big Plan in life, to buy a cottage with an apple orchard and produce my own cider, my smile will be very fat indeed.
Simple Techniques For Dressing Up Your Helmet
Some of the best ways to accessorize your motorcycle helmet are with helmet stickers, custom paint designs, and helmet Mohawks, and all of the above can be attained with little commitment from as far as budget goes. If you're looking to accessorize your helmet, you may want to look into one of the choices mentioned above instead of having to always looking at the plain and boring helmet that you currently have.
Helmet stickers are a great way to give your helmet a little character without having to alter the makeup of the helmet itself. Helmet stickers can include a number of different things including slogans, phrases, cartoon characters, custom drawings and designs, and more, and can be purchased at pretty reasonable prices if you can find the right place to buy them. If you want to add a little more color or character to your helmet, helmet stickers is definitely one good option.
Another option for dressing up your helmet is a custom paint job. Airbrushing is becoming more and more popular these days and is a great way to give your helmet a cool new look, and is the perfect way to incorporate some fresh new color and stunning artwork into the theme of your helmet. This doesn't come without a price though as airbrushing can be a little expensive if you consider how much you actually paid for the helmet alone. It's definitely worth the price though when you finally see the end result and how good the airbrushing process has made your helmet look.
Finally, another great way to dress up your helmet is the helmet Mohawks, which are another popular item in the motorcycle gear market today. These great items come in a number of different colors and are available just about anywhere you see motorcycle helmets being sold. Helmet Mohawks are made to stick to your helmet in high wind conditions so you don't have to worry about them falling off in the middle of your ride.
Duane Bryers' "Hilda" -- The First Illustrated Plus Size Pin Up Girl
The Pin Up Girl
Before we talk about the curvy, swervy, plus-size-bikini-clad Hilda, the stage is going to be set with a little history of the pin up girl. I'll take you back in time now, with a short story about a few of the most talented and popular Pin Up illustrators in American history.
Earl Christy, (1883-1961)
We'll begin with the prolific Earl Christy, who's porcelain-doll-like illustrations appeared on everything from Hollywood magazine covers and commercial advertisements to sheet music and postcards. His work can be found going back as early as 1906. His movie posters and covers he painted for "Photoplay" and other Hollywood magazines are now valuable collector items.
Earl Moran (1893-1984)
Earl Moran's artistic genius appeared on everything from Sears and Roebuck catalogs to Life magazine and millions of Brown and Bigelow Calendars. How he's remembered most is through his pin ups. Moran's stunningly rendered pastel "visions" offer more situational variety than any other major illustrator. Of his most enduring legacies are his 1940s paintings of a breathtaking young model named Norma Jean Baker. He painted more images of her than any other artist.
Rolf Armstrong (1889-1960)
Rolf Armstrong was another famous Brown and Bigelow calendar artist. After arriving home from a trip to France in 1919, he opened a studio in Greenwich Village where he painted the Ziegfeld Folly girls. Later, while in Hollywood, all the great stars of the era posed for him. Popular actresses like Mary Pickford, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich and Katherine Hepburn were all painted by him. He even talked Boris Karloff into posing for him on the set of the original "Frankenstein".
He refused to work from photographs and was always on the quest for the perfect model. When asked why he preferred a live model over a photograph, he said, "I want the living person in front of me. As I look at her again and again and again while I work, I get a thousand fresh, vivid impressions... all the glow, exuberance, and spontaneous joy that leaps from a young and happy heart."
Armstrong's pastel pin ups of his idealized, scantily clad,"girl next door" have a distinctive, luminous and shimmering quality to them. His paintings of healthy, nubile young women are some of the most memorable of all the famous illustrators. He was truly a man of rarefied talent.
George Petty (1894-1975)
The Pin Up finally exploded into the popular culture with Esquire Magazine's introduction of s"Petty Girl" in 1933. Slender, flirtatious and extremely shapely, the Petty Girl became an American institution, capturing our hearts and minds for more than twenty years. From 1933 to 1956, her images were seen in tens of millions of places; every where from magazines and billboards to playing cards and match books, even aircraft "nose art" in WWII. In 1950, she was made into a movie starring Robert Cummings and Elsa Lanchester.
Gil Elvgren (1914-1980)
No pin up gallery is complete without displaying the breathtaking talent of Gil Elvgren. His enchanting, dreamy renderings of the nubile female form cannot be eclipsed in genius by any other artist. He was sublimely talented! A student of the Minneapolis Art Institute, he liked to paint girls who were new to the modeling business. He believed the ideal pin up was a girl with
a fifteen year old face on a twenty year old body, so he combined the two. During the forty two years spanning 1930-1972, he produced over five hundred paintings of beautiful young women, nearly all painted on oil and canvas. Today, his fully developed, finished works of art are second only in value to the paintings of Alberto Vargas.
Alberto Vargas (1896-1982)
The most prolific and famous glamor illustrator of all time is Alberto Vargas. The son of Max Vargas, a famous and talented photographer in his own right, Alberto learned to airbrush from his father before he was a teen. Most don't realize he was actually born in Peru, and didn't come to the US until 1916. He arrived on Ellis Island via Europe, where he had been since 1911. While there, he had studied in both Geneva and Zurich, and by the time had made his way here, he was already a gifted talent coming into bloom. Within three years he had hung his own shingle and was painting store fronts and window displays for New York City merchants.
One warm afternoon in May 1916, while painting a window display for a downtown merchant, he was approached by a employee of the Ziegfeld Follies and asked to show his work to the great Ziegfeld himself. Within forty eight hours, he was commissioned to paint 12 portraits of the leading stars of the 1919 season of the Ziegfeld Follies. They were for the lobby of the New Amsterdam Theatre.
From that first commission on, Alberto Vargas was an artist in high demand.
He painted every major star of the Ziegfeld Follies and later major Hollywood stars like Betty Grable, Jane Russell, Ann Sheridan, Ava Gardner Linda Darnell, Marlene Dietrich, Loretta Young, and even Marilyn Monroe all posed for him.
In 1940 he replaced the great George Petty at Esquire magazine and by 1945 was the most famous glamor illustrator in the world.
Baby boomers all know him as the creator of Playboy Magazine's Vargas Girl. He painted over 150 of his Vargas Girl masterpieces for Playboy.
He was married over forty years to the love of his life, Anna Mae Clift. When she passed away in 1974, he lost most of his creative drive and worked just a few more times doing The Cars "Candy O" album cover and two album covers for Bernadette Peters. He passed away in Los Angeles in December, 1982.
Now, the reason this article was written...to talk about the most shapely, wondrously round, perfectly proportioned, plus size, pear shaped beauty in Pin Up girl history: Duane Bryers' "Hilda"
One night, while prowling "Google Images" for curvaceous content, I found myself at Les Toil's Big Beautiful Pin Up Gallery. I clicked through and followed his fun and curiously titled links looking for the well-nourished, feminine imagery I had started out that night looking for.
After I got done admiring Les' talent, I went back to his homepage and clicked on a cheerful teal and yellow banner with the name "Hilda" written across it. I clicked on it, not prepared at all for what I was about to see.
As soon as the page opened, I stopped and looked in wonder. It was one of those moments when you're seeing something with which you're completely taken; the world around you seems to disappear, and everything goes completely silent as your focus narrows, taking in what's in front of you.
Discovering Hilda was like discovering lost treasure. I recognized her right away. I remembered her as a perfect likeness of what I had for years idealized in the feminine form; round, soft, pear-shaped, plump, and shapely to the extreme.
If one's natural male instinct is to respond to the rounder, softer, more generously proportioned woman, you will understand why there is so much to like about her. From her long, soft legs, girlish face, plump, inviting arms, to her hips, round and wide, you see a vision of femininity forming in front of you. Add to all that her ample, well-developed breasts, soft, yielding tummy and glorious hip-waist ratio, and you discover she is an ideal example of full-figure perfection. The perfect plus size, pear-shaped,
nubile beauty.
Unlike the stick-thin, female icons so popular today, Hilda has not one angular feature. She sublimely embodies the old fashioned womanly ideals of "round and soft". She is feminine to the nth degree.
Duane Bryers was the first illustrator to use plus size models as subjects in his pin up art. Sometimes he didn't use a model at all and painted from memory or fantasy. A feat, according to pin up artist Les Toil, "most impressive!"
"Hilda" is owned by Brown and Bigelow

Artwork and Paintings From Albert Oehlen Artist at the Saatchi Gallery
Albert Oehlen's work focuses exclusively on exposing art's failures. Borrowing from the tropes of traditional abstract painting, Oehlen readily subverts art's lofty idealism. Using traditional forms and techniques, he conceives a contemporary dialogue of criticism based on the possibilities of creative function rather than aesthetics. In a modern world where painting is considered dead, Albert Oehlen reinvents its life as a manic zombie state: mutated, funny and ideologically dangerous.

Article Theme :-
Albert Oehlen combines aspects of figurative sexuality, mechanical distance and painterly abstraction. It's a bastard hybrid of painting, incorporating smooth polished forms, heavy brushwork, and the implied photo-gloss of airbrush. The end result is more like a collage than a painting: a loud and exasperating argument in different tongues, promising never to be resolved for lack of a common idiom.Albert Oehlen is a master of ironic wit and his paintings are elaborate strategies of provocation. In Untitled, Albert Oehlen subverts the authority of the avant-garde, creating an abstraction of dumbed-down abjection. His painting poses as a deceptive icon of aesthetic contemplation, punctuated with flirtatious eyes returning the viewer's gaze.

Why Should You Keep Auto Body Repair Tools In Your Car
Maintaining basic car repair tools in your car can be of great advantage. The auto body repair tools can really come in handy in a situation where you do not have access to a mechanic who would fix your car. Having the repair tools can not only save some precious time which would have wasted behind calling a mechanic but also money that would have been charged by the same person.
At times the problem with your car can be very minor, but the mechanic may charge you high, simply because it is an emergency situation. But if you have auto body repair tools in your car and if you know how to use them, it can save you from falling into such a situation.
In order to keep your car out of trouble, it requires good maintenance and care and it would certainly ensure less necessity of summoning mechanics and also use of auto body repair tools. Apart from some cases where the car needs to be taken to the auto shop for oil replacement and other common maintenance verification, it can be handled by the owner itself with the help of the auto body repair tools.
There are few cases where the amateurs should never attempt to repair things on their own, for instance you should never try to replace a conked out clutch all by yourself rather you should make a safer attempt to organize fuel filters or repair the spark plugs.
Kind of auto body repair tools and the related problems you can fix with them
In most of the cases of car repairing, you require basic knowledge on the different parts of a car and their functionality. No one prefers to call the mechanic for every other problem that a car faces as it consumes more money as well as time and is certainly avoidable in most of the situation, only leaving a few.
Some of the used auto body repair tools are air compressors, dent pullers, jack, tire tools and engine hoists. These tools vary in length, shape and weight in case of different car models and their manufacturing companies. A quality auto body repair tool kit includes wrenches and sockets with which the bolts and the nuts can be detached but always keep it mind that you need to know about the thing you are doing and do not take the risk of attempting a repair without knowledge. In such a case, it would be safe to call a specialist who usually deals in such matters and would perform the repairing more smoothly and effectively.
As mentioned earlier, there are different tools used for different types of repairs. The fault codes and the faults in an engine are identified with the help of an electronic device known as the scan tool. The dings and the surface dents are fixed with the help of a dent puller. Tools like spray guns, air brush kit, touch up and paint pen helps to deal with the body paint problem. Equipments like tire mount, curved spoon, bead breaker and tire changer deals with most of the tire related issues. Tools like metal wash cleaner, rust converter and rubberized undercoating helps to remove the oxidation from the body parts of the car. It always helps to keep most of these simple auto body repair tools in your car for emergency situations.

Boat wraps are less costly than what you would pay to have your boat airbrushed. Prior to marine wraps many people airbrushed their boats when they wanted to give them a new look. Having your boat airbrushed can be time consuming because of all the prep work that will need to be done and it can also be quite costly. If you decide to have your boat airbrushed plan on it to a time consuming experience.

It will take about half the time that an airbrush job would take and you can add outstanding results to the appearance of your boat. Boat wraps are a very easy fix in decorating a plain common looking boat and turning it into the most eye catching boat out on the water. They are easy to install on the hull of your boat and will only take about a day to apply. Your boat will be ready to go into the water the next day. If you apply a marine wrap on your boat and then decide you would like to change it later for any reason, they are easy to remove without leaving any sign of damage on your boat.
The marine wrap you choose should show off your personality and should be to your particular liking. You can get any type and design of marine wrap to add color and style to your boat. After a marine wrap is applied to the hull of your boat it is worry free. The people that will put your marine wrap on are professionals and will make sure the marine wrap is perfect on your boat.

They can make your boat look more expensive and draw attention wherever your go. If you are thinking on doing something different to your boat a marine wrap may be for you.
Temporary Tattoos Advantage
Tattoos Temporary Vs Permanent
Punk hair-styles, body-piercing, use of drug and of, course, tattoos. The statement the youth (also quite a few grownups) are making through these accessories has to be seen to be believed. Everyone wants to stand apart from the crowd, everyone wants to be noticed and there are ways to do it. Tattooing is just one of them. Some - we would say most - get it done for shock value. Tattoos proclaiming rebellion through weird sketches or simply love for a sweetheart with a heart and arrow, you are now able to wear your heart on your sleeve, literally. Tattoos allow you to get in touch with the playful, creative side of your personality; they even given you a platform to vent your angst. Do they have relevance in contemporary society? You bet. Just think about it. If you have ancestry dating back to the aboriginals in Australia you actually get to flaunt your legacy. How cool is that?
As you might be aware, tattooing has come to be regarded as an art form. What used to be common back-alley practice viewed with wariness and riddled with scorn is now held in high esteem. Tattooing is believed to have spread from Egypt during the dawn of civilization although Japanese clay figurines dating as far back as 3000 B.C. bear evidence of the tattooing craft. Ancient Polynesians etched tattoos on their bodies to mark their spiritual beliefs while ancient Samoans actually ritualized the art. The word 'tattoo' itself is ascribed to the Samoan language- 'tatau' which means the same thing. The first electric tattoo machine, an offshoot of Thomas Edison's printing pen, is believed to be the invention of an Irish American and was patented (in the United States) in 1891.
Tattooing helps to camouflage bad skin and baldness, it is also known to hike self-esteem (especially in women) and bolster confidence. In addition, it helps foster a spirit of sorority or belongingness. Yet, tattooing is not without its hazards. Tattooing has been held as the number one culprit for spreading the deadly hepatitis C virus, just to quote one instance.
Most tattooists aren't aware of the toxic levels of the dyes and chemicals in use during the tattooing process. Sure, your tattooist may be routinely sterilizing his needles and putting on disposable gloves but he may not be necessarily addressing the toxicity of the dyes in use. Please be warned that 'untreated' dyes and colors can cause HIV infection, leprosy and melanoma, not to mention ulcers and a host of skin problems.
When you walk into that popular tattoo parlor in your neighborhood you will need to ensure before-hand that its owners follow the health and hygiene regulations to the letter. Or, even better, you can go in for temporary tattoos.
Just think about it: do you really need those heavy bandages restricting your movement even as you long to scratch those forbidden, itchy spots? Do you really need the anxiety of not knowing what disease you may have contracted because of the foreign element that has just entered your body?
Consider another fact: the permanent tattoo of your ex girlfriend may hardly be a pleasant sight to your current love interest. Worse, you could be rejected for a coveted job just because your interviewer does not approve of the flashy markings on your arm. More alarming- certain insignia may be misinterpreted in other cultures and before you know it you could become the needless victim of a hate crime. What do you do in such cases? Go in for an expensive and extremely painful laser removal solution? Or the even steeper intense pulsed light therapy?
The good news is that there are cheaper and painless alternatives available. These go by the name of temporary tattoos. As the name suggests, temporary tattoos do not have a lasting effect on the skin. Because the dyes used are deployed over the epidermal surface, tattooing becomes a painless exercise. Temporary tattooing is also considered safer compared to the real thing although reservations have been expressed in certain quarters. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has found, for instance, certain dyes that cause allergic reactions. But, by and large, putting paint over the skin is infinitely safer than injecting chemically suspect dyes under it.
Probably the earliest known temporary tattoo is henna which was used extensively in the ancient cultures of India and Egypt. Henna leaves dried in the sun, ground to a fine powder and later mixed with water produce a semi-permanent dye. Far from harmful, this 'dye' is beneficial in terms of being astringent, anti-microbial, and an anti-irritant which promotes hair growth and heals abrasions on the skin. Evidence exists that henna was used for decorating the hands in ancient times. Shrines dating as far back as 7000 B.C. in Catal Huyuk in Turkey bear proof of that fact. In north India, henna is still used for ornamentation purposes (mainly over the hands and feet) during weddings. The famous Indian 'bindi', popularized by Madonna and Britney Spears, is another expression of temporary tattooing.
Temporary tattooing, as we know it in contemporary times, was first popularized by bubble gums and used the same technique. These days, it employs a mix of vegetable dyes and glue similar to what you might come across in adhesive bandages.
Consistently rising in popularity is the airbrush mode of temporary tattooing. The basic principle in operation here is a stencil over which the paint fills out the pattern.
What are the advantages of temporary tattooing? Quite a few, you bet. Firstly, it is absolutely painless even though the airbrush instrument points towards you rather menacingly like a real tattoo gun.
Temporary tattooing is also comparatively safe as the colors are painted on the skin and not under it. This means that you won't get pus or blood oozing out from various spots in your skin. You do need to be careful, though, when visiting your airbrush tattooist. Make sure you approach someone who enjoys a good reputation in the business; one who uses Food and Drug Administration approved dyes and colors, such as No Regret Temporary Tattoos & Body Art from Kitchener, Ontario, By Ena Hasanagic
Lastly, you can remove the temporary tattoos at will with the aid of oil and cream. Most temporary tattoos will stay on for three weeks and fade away anyway.
So, think about it: do you now want to go through excruciating pain just to get that permanent splash of color (that you might to remove later) on your person and remain bandaged for days with the possibility of infection?

TATs offer the best way to express your personality and to be special. This fact, together with affordability and easy, fast application, makes TATs the preferred choice.

What's in Your Make - Up Bag? - Stocking Up on Beauty Necessities
Replacing your make up kit with organic beauty necessities can be a costly case of trial and error without a little guidance. We've put together an expert guide compiled from our tried and tested selection to help you select organic make up brands to replace your old kit one piece at a time.
Best Base - For a fuller coverage we love two brands. Inika Mineral Cosmetics Powder Base and Nvey Organic Moisturising Liquid Foundation. Inika create clean vegan mineral foundations which are ideal for all skin types including sensitive and complete with spf20. Nvey's foundation is a lovely liquid which is great for dry skin types. Both give medium to heavy coverage depending on application technique.
The Eyes Have It - top of our list for organic eye shadows are the Rms Beauty cream eyeshadows. Created by New York make up artist Rose Marie Swift these little pots of colour glide on easily and can be used for dramatic evening looks or subtle sheer day colours. For those that have been addicted to MAC make up colours in the past Inika's vivid bright blues, purples and greens are an easy swap.
Lashes of Lashes - natural mascaras get a bad rap. We've weeded out the not so good and recommend OY from Green People's teen range - ideal for smooth coverage and stickability. Our latest love is the Jane Iredale Lash Extender and Conditioner. Use as a primer prior to applying your mascara and this product increases the lash thickness and makes mascara last longer.
Cheeky Colours - For powder blush lovers you can't beat the colour selection from Nvey Organics in a handy small compact complete with mirror. For multi-tasking cheek colours the rms beauty Lip2Cheek does just as it says. An organic make up cream base with mineral pigment colours that highlight cheeks and lips.
Professional Finish - It's the finishing touches that make a good party great. The same goes for your make - up! Get a great natural highlighter. Most organic make up brands have one - they can enhance you cheek and brow bones drawing attention to your eyes. Add a setting powder - this makes the whole look last longer and gives you an airbrushed look of natural perfection.
Other organic make up brands we've heard great things about include Josie Maran, Alima and Living Nature.
So next time you run out of mascara check out some of the natural and organic beauty brands before reaching for the mainstream. You may just find a new favourite!

T- Shirts garments
The tee – the very basic of all garments for all ages, all sizes, and all colors of people! Isn't the tee really the most democratic of all clothing? Where did this T shirt actually come from? How far has did it travel till it became the king of the street, or messiah of urban wear?
Most of us are not even aware that this symbol of street wear chic evolved from undergarments in the 19th century, and later became a popular in the United States when they were issued by the US Navy during the Spanish American war.
Since the 1980s, t-shirts have emerged as a symbol of self-expression. Designer Katherine Hamnett first pioneered tall tees with large print slogans. From then on, it has been a journey of pride with tees establishing themselves firmly as urban youth icons, with urban tees blazing messages of the youth for all to see. The style preferences of the youth are very much on display, with hip-hop tees flaunting images of immortal gangsta rap and hip-hop artists. What's more, these urban tees are constantly evolving, with newer icons taking the place of older ones, or more socially relevant and irreverent messages taking the front place.
The designs of these urban tees may be constantly changing, but the inspiration for the change comes completely from the streets or from life on the streets. Just like life on the streets is a mix of music, dance, sports, ambitions, angst, and desires, so also the urban tee. It represents all that is real, tangible, and unspoken on the street. For the urban youngster, the hip-hop artist, or the hip-hop fan, looking the part is essential, and thus the range of hip-hop clothing, especially hip-hop tees.
It is in the character of the urban tee to be large or oversized, or as some may put it, tall. Tall tees are mostly men's tall tees, designed for the hip-hop or street wear lovers who tower above others. You can easily locate logo tees, airbrushed art portraying any hip-hop artist of your choice, or just tees with text at the front or at the back.
There is a great deal of online shopping options available for those who are looking for tall tees, or urban and hip-hop tees in regular sizes. What's more, on several sites, you can get custom air-brushed garments. Pick your favorite hip-hop artist, and get t-shirts, hoodies, and jackets custom designed for yourself.
So, go pick your shirt, wear your style unhindered, be what you want to be. And with that t-shirt, say what you want to say!
