Yellow Bellied

Go visit the Yellow Bird Project where you will find a lovely array of musical artist designed t-shirts. These shirts go for $25 a pop, the proceeds of which go to the artist's favorite charity. On the homepage you will see a quick glance of all of the shirts. See one you're interested in? Click on it and you will see a little blurb on the artist, and one on the charity.

Most of them come only in the color displayed, which is both good and bad. On the one hand, some of my favorite designs are on my not-so-favorite colors, which stinks. On the other hand, some of my favorite designs are on my not-so-favorite colors, which prevents me from going crazy and buying all of them. All are printed on 100% cotton American Apparel T's.

My top three at the moment are:

Designed by The National for Safe Space

Designed by King Creosote for Greenpeace

Designed by The New Pornographers for ALS

These three have saved me from myself by being printed on baby blue and kelly green, two colors I do not really wear. However, I love love love the designs.

Designed by Stars for Le Chainon


Designed by Of Montreal for St. Jude Children's Research Center


Designed by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah for Art For Change

The only other problem is deciding between a t-shirt design I really love, and a band that I really love, and a charity that I really love. I think my favorite tee is the King Creosote for Greenpeace, but he is not my favorite artist, nor is it my favorite charity. Bon Iver and The National are my favorite artists, but the Bon Iver tee is cool, but not worth $25, and I do like The Nationsl's tee, however, it's not my absolute favorite. And as for the charities, well, ll are good causes, so I'm not even going to attempt to add that to my prediciment.

Oh, and just fyi, shipping is USPS $6 for the first shirt, then $2 for all after that, or FedEx $7 + $1.50 for all after that. OH, and they accept returns for 60 days! Minus the shipping, of course.

And as if all that wasn't cool enough, you can download their theme song for free! BUT WAIT, one more! You can listen to their mix tape by some of the artists!!
