Weird and Pissed Off: My Latest Obssession: TeeFury

A month or three ago I discovered a website called TeeFury.com, where a new limited edition t-shirt is made available every day for the low price of $9 (with $2 s/h). All of the designs are by artists from around the internet who get to keep the rights to their artwork after their shirt has finished it's 24 hour run on the site. Since discovering TeeFury, it has become one of my new daily go-to sites and I have ordered 7 of their shirts to date.

I first found my way to TeeFury's site after seeing this design (available at TeeFury.com on May 10, 2010) posted on an Alien-centric blog:

Unfortunately, I was a few weeks too late to order that shirt, but as fate would have it, the day that I first visited TeeFury.com (May 30, 2010) was the same day that this LOST-inspired shirt was available:

I ordered one on the spot and haven't turned back since. I also began taking photos of myself wearing the shirts with my shitty cell phone camera and posting them on Twitpic. The following are the next 2 shirts that I ordered from TeeFury on April 16th and April 23rd, respectively:

On April 20th, TeeFury had a Grab Bag sale which allowed buyers to order between 1 and 3 of their recent shirts (those originally released between February 16 and April 19, 2010) for $5 each instead of of the usual $9. The catch being that you wouldn't know which shirts you would be receiving until they showed up at your house. I couldn't pass up that deal, and ended up with the following 3 shirts for a mere $17:

I almost bought the first of the 3 shirts listed above when it was initially available (April 18, 2010), so it was a pleasant surprise to find it among my randomly selected trio. The second shirt made it's debut before I'd discovered TeeFury (February 28, 2010), but I like the design. The third (available on April 4, 2010) is my least favorite of the 3, but it's already gotten me a few compliments, so I'm not complaining. In fact, it's worth noting that every single one of my TeeFury shirts has gotten complimented, or at least been pointed out or recognized, by complete strangers when I've worn them in public. It just goes to show how great the designs by TeeFury's stable of artists are that they incite so many reactions when people see them.

EDIT (July 9, 2010):

Since the original posting of this blog, I've accumulated a few more TeeFury shirts chich I'd like to share. The first two of the three shirts below were no-brainers for me to purchase, being based upon LOST/Back To The Future (available on May 18, 2010) and AVATAR (available on May 20, 2010). The third, while featuring a design based upon the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man (available on May 25, 2010), is rather similar to the previous Ghostbusters shirt that I got from the site. I had told myself that I wasn't going to buy one, but as the day drew to a close and my opportunity to own the shirt was about to disappear forever, I felt compelled to just go ahead and order one. Why the hell not? They only cost $9, right?

Then, on June 15, 2010, TeeFury held another Grab Bag Sale, which I once again jumped at the opportunity to be a part of. I ordered three more random shirts for $5 each and ended up with El Boba (originally available on May 19, 2010) and Zombie Ninja Pirate (originally available on May 21, 2010). The third shirt I received with the June Grab Bag was one that I knew I'd never really wear, so I traded it to one of my co-workers for a copy of the card game Monopoly Deal. I've already gotten more use out of the game than I would have gotten from the shirt, so everybody wins.
