Watsup all,
As you may have noticed, I have made some colossal updates to the site today including getting most of the sweet new tees up and adding our new tagless banner! We have even more new stuff on the way so keep checking in to find out about contests and other sweet deals!
We have also added "Featured Tees" which will include 2 new t-shirts every week.

That's all for now but I will be back with a larger update soon,

NEW DESIGNS


I have some great news. In the next few days, we will be uploading our newest and best designs so far. They feature a variety of artists from all around...LA, Toronto, Vancouver. We are excited about the value these new designs bring to our brand. Also, we have more designs from the same designers already featured on the site. Look for more of Lisa Rotenberg's wicked drawings, with a new food chain bunny and skunk coming out. She has also spiced up Grafitti in Sherwood Forest, and we will be posting the new version shortly. Kathy Braceland's mother and child horsey drawing will be sure to grab your attention. You must also check out the illustrative work of Shen Plum, an OCAD graduate. Todd Julie and his magnificent six-pack (beers, abs, crew), have some wicked cool images that are coming up as well. But seriously, they're all great...when I say Todd and his crew, I am referring to Lee Stringle, Ilya Schwarz, Jesse Ewles, Cam Tomsett, and Masako Shimizu. I have attached Todd Julie's tiger for your entertainment. It is available for purchase on t-shirts, although it seems to be showing up kinda blue-ish while it is meant to be orange. Don't worry, it will look just right on the shirt.








Oh and how can I forget about Sean Lewis. He has a great Jesus drawing for you to check out. Also, his wolf is fantastic. Jared Nickerson has agreed to allow us to print one of his famous shirts called Lost in Translation, which was a recent bestseller.






We will also have a new che guevara from Adrian Hayles upcoming.


Jake Rosenberg has just returned from his Pacific Crest Trail hike, and has given us permission to put some of his panoramic pictures on t-shirts. Check them out below.











Also, Nick Kabitsis's illustrated pink skyline should be up soon as well.

Introducing: The Second Collection

Heellllloooooo!

Our second run of production is complete and we have an array of new t-shirts to add to our collection. The previous run, which was mostly women's t-shirts, made by artists Lisa Rotenberg, Adrian Hayles, Canne and Kathy Braceland has been very successful.

Now, our new run includes t-shirts from Cam Tomsett, Jesse Ewles, Kathy Braceland and Todd Julie. This run is more men's shirts, however, we have a wonderful addition to the women's collection from Kathy Braceland known as "Mother and Child" (can be seen below).


Mother and Child is a fantastic design that has a horse and its child galloping across the side of the t-shirt. The design was placed under the arm and around the ribs to give it an original placement.


Abe is a t-shirt designed by Todd Julie who is a very talented Toronto artist. This design is an authentic look at a brilliant man. My personal favourite from the new shirts.


The Alley, designed by Cam Tomsett, is a very unique design as well. On the white shirt, The Alley is comprised of a group of gangsters getting booked by a police officer. On the contrasted black shirt, The Alley is the mobsters ganging up on the officer.


An old symbol newly designed with a twist...literally! lol. Personally, I think The Spade (designed by Lisa Rotenberg) is a fantastic t-shirt that looks cool from a distance. This shirt is great for partying or goin' on dates!


Inner Fear, a neat shirt by Kathy Braceland, is the first "skeleton" shirt that we have introduced to our collection. At IWANNAT, we think skeletons are cool so expect to see more skeleton shirts in the future and prepare to collect them all!



This is (an incomplete) picture of our full collection. Because I don't have panoramic on my camera, I was forced to take 2 pictures. I consider that a good thing, it means we have enough designs to fill an entire couch!

Some other interesting stuff coming down the IWANNAT.com pipes include two special contests, which I will talk about in further details on my next post; I Wanna Blank T, which will allow you to purchase blank American Apparel tees (with tags removed and our special, tagless, labels inserted); and, we will begin offering a variety of slogan t-shirts at very affordable prices ($14.99 each).

Other new t-shirts, promotions and interesting activities will be happening very frequently throughout the final weeks of the summer so be prepared!

Until then,

Enjoy the new tees!

Changing Site

For those of you have been keeping up to date with Iwannat's recent developments, the face of our site has changed. It is more user friendly and has allowed for greater customization. We want to put what you want on shirts, and there is now a spot for submissions and uploads.

In addition to this, we offer customizable slogan tees as well as completely blank shirts, boasting the Iwannat brand as a tagless label. Our site will detail this label, but this allows you to obtain plain, top-quality garments. But they aren't truly plain, they have that special watermark in the inside of the shirt.

We also want to develop an artist page where people could rank the work we are selling. How does this idea sound?
