After a 2-week dry spell break from creating new t-shirts, we are starting this week with a bang and present to you SIX new designs inspired by the Olympics, or more appropriately, ancient Greek art.

Like this, for instance.

Poptastic presents Do It Like An Olympian

Death Race, director Paul WS Anderson's take on the 1975 cult action film Death Race 2000 had just begun screening in theaters this weekend. While I haven't seen it, the reviews leave much to be desired and my hubby who's a fan of the original film is skeptical about watching the remake so I doubt that we'll watch it anytime soon.

We have t-shirts, jackets, buttons, and bumper stickers that pay homage to the 1975 film version, though.

Missing the gang from Neptune? Let's hope the Veronica Mars movie plans pull through!

Via Movieweb:

It seems that Kristen Bell's popular TV series might be getting the big screen treatment. Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas recently talked with series star Kristen Bell about a Veronica Mars movie.

"Kristen and I ran into each other, and we did discuss a Veronica movie," Thomas said. He also added that he has had, "a few conversations" with Veronica Mars executive producer Joel Silver about a possible movie.

Thomas also that the movie would be a "top priority" once his time is freed up from the two TV pilots he's overseeing, a remake of his 1998 series Cupid and an Americanized version of the New Zealand program, Outrageous Fortune, both of which he's doing for ABC.

So, cross your fingers that "LoVe" will live on, fellow Mars addicts.


Logan Veronica is LoVe Women's Light T-Shirt

There are other Veronica Mars-inspired designs in our TV/Movie Gear section.

UPDATE (9.05.08): From now on, we will no longer be selling Jason Castro fan merchandise. Please head on over to his official site, Jason Castro Music, to show him and his family your support! To Jason, thank you for the music. Poptastic Tees wishes you all the best.

The nicest thing about having a small, home-based t-shirt business is that, because my husband and myself run it on our own, we correspond with our customers ourselves and thus get to meet a lot of wonderful people from all over.

One of which is Mandee whom I've had the pleasure of corresponding with for sometime now. You see, she owns a "Jason is My Idol" fan shirt that carries one of our favorite but discontinued designs:


(Sorry about the watermark. We have to take extra precautions now because design piracy is becoming rampant of late...)

Today, she sent me this piece of wonderful news - she met Jason Castro. Part of her email goes:

I met Jason Castro on Aug 13 @ Philadelphia's Wachovia Center. My friend and I wore the "Jason Is My Idol" cartoon drawing t-shirts that were available on your site for a limited time. When Jason got to me, he took a double take at my friend and I, looked back at me and was like "I LOVE those shirts... where did you get them?" So I told him I had gotten them on-line, but that they were no longer available. He replied that he REALLY liked them. And even after I took my picture with him and talked to him, he moved on to my friend and spoke to her for a bit, studied her shirt again and said once more that he really liked the shirts!!!!! I thought you'd enjoy that! Approval from the man himself!!!

Yes Mandee, I totally did enjoy that! How wonderful to have approval from Jason himself. Thank you so much for remembering to share that info with me, we at Poptastic truly appreciate your thoughtfulness!


Mandee and Jasonnnnn

Mandee went on to say that David Archuleta and Brooke White showed appreciation for this shirt too. Ooh, how exciting! If only they knew that we made fan shirt designs for them as well, LOL. :)

Meanwhile, what we do have in our shop is the now-iconic (thanks to MTV's John Norris AND Castrocopia) "Jason is My Idol" design which features a folk guitar (or a ukulele, if you will. It kinda looks like it too) and the words "Jason is My Idol" in light blue and green.



See the different colors and styles here.

The Official Jason Castro t-shirts however are available HERE. Proceeds of these shirts will go to Jason's choice of charity.

Hey guys, check out our new storefront at PoptasticTees.com. Now all of our shops are readily accessible from one easy-to-remember location. (Recite it with me - PoptasticTees.com, PoptasticTees.com...)

We don't have anything new for Tuesday Teez this week (er, I think I got burnt out from the sneaker-designing. And then there's the day job I have to attend to.) but do check it out anyway. There's tons of very cool designs from our friendly neighboring shops -


Cassettes Robot. Women's Dark T-Shirt by T-shirt Junkie
From the designer: The cassette robot from the boombox planet. A musical imagination of an old skool dj.


"Mavid Moves" Jr. Jersey T-Shirt by GritFX
From the designer: For Mavid* fans...$2 of each shirt sale will be donated to Adam Cook. (*That's Michael Johns & David Cook for you non-Word Nerds)


True Player Ringer T by Detour Designables
From the designer: People who listen to rap music know this one. Throw you hands in the air if you're a true player. I don't think they were talking about sports.

There's so much more in there so GO.
