Say what you will about Michael Jackson – and there’s certainly a lot to say – the one honest to God truth about the man is that he made some really incredible music. Name one artist in the 20th century who weaved the magic of music and cinema together like MJ did with Thriller. While you’re racking your brain trying to come up with an answer (hint: don’t waste your time, no one comes within a country mile), here’s a handful of MJ related tees for your viewing/wearing pleasure. JAM ON!
The Iller available at Mini Cassette
I really dig the minimalist approach to this. As previously mentioned, Thriller was (is!) so huge, it’s tough to pass this one up. $22
RIP Michael Jackson available at Print Liberation
One know a Print Liberation print when you see it and this MJ memorial tee is no exception. At only $16, this is a steal.
Eating Brains, Throwing Shapes available at Threadless
Aled Lewis (aka Fatheed) knocked it out of the park with this tee. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good zombie tee? Eating Brains, Throwing Shapes is sold out in most sizes right now but I think Threadless might be compelled to reprint it given yesterday’s events.
Dance Off! available at Dutch Southern
Last but not least is a tee from yours truly. MJ is joined by Teen Wolf and Young Frankenstein for a showdown of epic proportions. I own a copy of this and I assure you, it looks dead sexy. $18? Deal!

My wife is looking over my shoulder in an effort to speed things up so I’ll keep this week’s T-Shirt Tuesday installment brief.
Miniboss available at SEIBEI
SEIBEI’s work is generally awesome so it’s no surprise that Miniboss is equally (if not more) awesome. $22 for all that pixelated goodness.
The Dark Side of Doodles available at Teextile
Teextile’s a great new competition site with a tons of quality tees. WOTTO is a talented tee baron so I was happy to see his design join the Teextile collection. Act quickly as The Dark Side of Doodles will only be available through Sunday. $15.
ROK 101 available at shirt.woot
I’m a sucker for a music related design – especially when it’s of the rock variety. Crank up the good level and rok out! It’s $10 right now but it’ll be $15 after midnight tonight. Act fast!

I think I’m getting comfortable with the idea of publishing T-Shirt Tuesday on any other day than Tuesday. It makes seem like there’s an artistic vision behind my laziness. Let’s look at some tees shall we?
Carry On available at Shirt Fight
I’ve always dug Mathiole’s style and his winning design at Shirt Fight is no exception. Mixing realistic halftone images with bold hand drawn elements, Carry On is pure gold. Get it now for $13
Monalisaur available at shirt.woot
David Creighton-Pester (a.k.a. WanderingBert) is one of my favorite tee artists. His designs are fun, his style is 3 parts rad mixed with one part retro and his concepts are spot on. Monalisaur is no exception. If you missed out on the first day $10 sale, no worries. It’s still available at a reasonable $15.
1/2 Bear 1/2 Lightning available at mysoti.com
“Hey LBB, $23 for a tee? That’s a bit steep!” You’re right – it’s steep. But let’s be honest – this tee is fucking incredible. Amee Christian has skillfully combined two awesomely bad ass things and thusly created a modern masterpiece. I dare you to confront this megabeast and tell it it’s not cool enough to be on your body. Go ahead…just see what happens.

Despite my best efforts, T-Shirt Tuesday is a day late. But I’ll be damned if this TST entry is a dollar short. There’s a ton of great new tees out there so let’s get this party started!
Man vs. Music at TeeFury
I’m actually glad I’m writing a day late otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to plug this unbelievably rad tee by Leon Ryan. There’s a shortage of awesome red shirts out there but Man vs. Music is fighting the good fight. It goes without saying that any band would be lucky to have this guy on their roster. This tee is only available for purchase today so get your rock ‘n roll ass in gear and buy your copy now!
Masters of the Universe at Designbyhumans
Rob Gould is one of my favorite tee designers in the game and his DBH tee is fantastically fun. In the battle of unicorns vs. dragons, score one for the unicorns. If you pick this up today, it’ll only run you $15. BARGAIN!
Sprayed Invader at MySoti
Again, all hail the red tee. Double props for the all-time classic Space Invader imagery. In my humble tee enthusiast opinion, this tee truly belongs in any video game fanboy/girl’s tee collection.
By the by, I’ve got a design up for voting at Teextile that could use your support. If you have a spare moment (and you probably do if you’ve read this whole entry), please vote for Clock Rock. Cheers!

Happy Monday everyone! Nothing like kicking off the week with an oxymoron, eh? Just wanted to drop you a line about a few thangs.
First, everybody and their grandmama should subscribe to my wife’s blog right now. Don’t take another sip of coffee, don’t head out to the gym, don’t daydream about zip lining through the Amazon until you do. Star has been chronicling the journey through her first pregnancy. There’s some great entries up right now with plenty more to come in the coming days, weeks and months. I’m trying to convince her to blog through the delivery but I don’t see that happening 
Next, I don’t know if you noticed, but I’ve got a new tee up for sale in the LBB store. The guys at AlrightOK have printed my A-Ok (Found Type) tee and it looks great. Did I mention it’s reversible? That’s like two tees for the price of one. Bargain!
Lastly, if you aren’t following me on Twitter, now is the time to do it. Frankly, I tweet more than I blog so if you want to know what I’m up to, follow me at http://www.twitter.com/lunchboxbrain.
Stay tuned for a deluxe edition of T-Shirt Tuesday tomorrow!

My wife and I are excited to finally announce that we’re having a baby! We’ve been keeping it under wraps since early April but the cat is officially out of the bag. Little lunchboxbrain jr. (or “Peanut”, as we’ve been calling it) is due to arrive in late November and we couldn’t be more excited.
Any advice, pearls of wisdom, do’s and don’ts and other anecdotes from parental readers is greatly appreciated!

Let’s jump right into this week’s selections, shall we?
Ape-ocalypse at Go Ape Shirts
$18 for this masterpiece from Leon Ryan is a steal. Go Ape always puts out good stuff.
Get Over It at No Star Clothing
As a former hurdler, I LOVE this shirt. As a dude, it saddens me that I can’t buy it. I hope the good people at No Star hear my plea. $24.
Taco Dinosaur from SEIBEI
I’m having a hard time expressing how awesome this tee is. So a smiley face will just have to do. $21 + limited edition = buy it ASAP.
P.S. – There’s still a few days to get your photo entries in to the 1st Annual Lunchboxbrain Scavenger Hunt! Act now!
