I'm totally gutted that this has sold out in my size (guys' medium). I brought my credit card in to work today so that I could order it. Hell, I thought it would sell quickly, but not THAT quickly!! Please, please reprint this asap before Lucasfilm clamp down on it, because I've got a nasty feeling that they will!! :(

Yeah E.T. and Darth Vader both got a Glenz treatment. George and Steven are gonna be bustin' balls over this :)

Here's how I think Threadless got away with it...



You never see Darth's face. And the title doesn't have his name in it at all. The only thing you see is his back, which can be something totally different had it been turned around. The Death Star does not look exactly like the hedge either. Our minds are just so adapted to that image of Vader and the Death Star that we assume it is indeed them on the shirt. But legality wise, there is no proof of it being DARTH VADER or THE DEATH STAR.



As far as the E.T. one goes. It could very well be an alien. Spielberg never copyrighted the silouhette of E.T. Again, our minds just assume it's what we think.

My gallery photos

I haven't submitted any photos. I guess I don't want free money.

All about me

Well let’s see… I live in the UK – I’m originally from Lancashire, England but have lived in Cardiff, Wales for the past 12 years. I work at a Uni here Mon-Thurs and paint/write short stories the rest of the time, amongst other things. I can’t use any creative computer packages so it’s not likely that I’ll be submitting anything anytime soon! I’m just happy to buy the wonderful tees that go on sale here (addictive, isn’t it?!)

Musically, I'm currently obsessed with Goldfrapp and I'm also quite partial to Zero 7 and Bjork. I like a lot of house music (particularly the deep, soulful stuff), downtempo, chilled grooves and some jazz.

Will add some more photos soon…
