As you would know, Tolky Monkys creates and develops Characters. Although this is true, is also true the fact that nowadays most of our products in which we commercialize these Characters are t-shirts. Due to this, we´ve decided to join the celebration of the International T-shirt Day of the 21st June.
What are we going to do? We´re going to participate in the contest that Tee Junction is undertaking with other t-shirt brands. They have been celebrating small contests and today is our turn. To participate is really easy. You just have to read the stories of our Characters and leave a comment at this post writing down to which Tolky Monkys´ Character you look like and why. We are talking about personality, not physical appearance ;]
What can you win? The winner will get a t-shirt and a caricature with the Tolky Monkys´ style. So, if you participate, besides leaving a comment, you must send us a photo to tshirtday[at]tolkymonkys[dot]com.
On Monday 22nd we´ll publish the winner, so pay attention.
LET´S PARTICIPATE!!
And here you have the design for boys t-shirts of the third new Character: CASIUS, an infernal rock band. This illustration is printed with huge screens of 70cm * 100cm, either on the front or back. This last print is made nearly from the neck till the t-shirt bottoms edge, treading even on the seams.

At last, we can announce new Characters for boys t-shirts. We´re really proud, cause they suppose a great change in what we were doing till now, not only in the design, but also in the technical improvements we´ve achieved which allows us to use the t-shirt as a large canvas.
During the past year, we invest much time looking for new serigraphy workshops that could allow us more alternatives when designing for t-shirts, but all we found were companies focus in advertisement and, tecnically, they had plenty of restrictions that didn´t let us take profit of our illustrations after more than 3 years of experience. The search finished when we found a workshop in Galicia, in the North of Spain, in which we can use plenty of new technics. Is not only the million types of inks and finishes they have available, but also that we can now use GIANT SCREENS of 70cm * 100cm and print on the edges of the t-shirt, on seams and sleeves. With these new possibilities, we had the challenge of creating designs that, using most part of the t-shirt, wouldn´t be tedious. We didn´t want the t-shirt to be a great ink mass, something that has been very important for us since the beginning.
You can see the results by your own. In total, three new Character designs: CASIUS, a helly rock band, ROGER, a lab rabbit a little bit stupid, and the well-known EGGEATER Mucus & BLINK Mucus, the Characters in which all of you contributed with a piece of your imagination to give them a story in our last edition of the Microstories Contest.

For you shall see that we remember all of you, here are some new designs that we have prepared especially for girls. The truth is that these designs take a longer time on our shelves, but for different circumstances, we preferred to wait after Easter for submission.
There are three new designs and a reprint. About the new designs, we used two newly created characters and the other one is a character that already exists.
They are Susto, the pumpkin, Menudo, the drunken pirate in a new adventure with the siphon whale and Carlos, a kid that lives for the cats.
As always, the printing is made by serigraphy and T-shirts are made to measure, have a 95% cotton and 5% elastane and are lightly carved, although it is not the typical shirt it pastes into your body and does not even let you breathe.
What do you think? Do you like them? We expect your comments!

This February, Sally and Sally, the Resales twins, have decided to stay... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Of course, they aren´t going to fold their arms. They don´t get along with several Characters, so they are going to send them away of the warehouse.
For this reason, from 3rd February till 21st of the same month, they are going to "guillotine" literally the prices of some of them and they´ve let their prices in only 10€ each, either for boys t-shirts or girls t-shirts.
During this first week, till 12rd February, there will be 8 Characters at 10€: God of Eye, Abram, Arquimedes... and next week, till 21st, other 8 Characters will get their prices cut off. Pay attention!!
