Creep Street

I just recently discovered Creep Street Clothing and I have got to say it was love at first sight.  I was looking for a new brand for my boy Aaron (Aaron's blog) and I came across this news and inventive brand.  Let’s be honest most brands have run out of ideas and are just putting out anything as long as their brand name is plastered all over the shirt.  Creep Street has put the art back into tee shirt making.  This is really prevalent when you go to their website, Creep Street, you have got to click on the intro; it’s a great video with 8-bit Nintendo themes telling the two creators origin stories. The website itself is very well made, but still seems new and it’s missing something. I picked 3 shirts from the web store, Chopping Mall.

I saw the first tee and had to post it here.  The Hamburglar is a popular McDonalds hamburger bandit and this tee is a play on that icon.  The rad burglar, who looks like a dishelved rat on this shirt.  I used to love McDonalds as a kid and would always beg for a happy meal and then I grew up and discovered how horrible McD’s is for you. I still love the characters from McDonalds and I am glad when I find a cool tee with these characters.

The store isn’t too large, but all the content is great so they don’t need a ton of tees. Who doesn’t love Disney and their iconic character Mickey?  I prefer my Mickey to be a hatchet carrying, psychopath fresh from killing another one of his characters.  Mickey seems to have the eyes of Jack Skellington  and a weird crooked smile.  How can you not love this tee shirt?  I can’t wait to order this and wear it the next time I am at Universal Studios.

I knew I wanted to review the first two tee shirts, but I just couldn’t decide between all the other shirts.  Then I saw this beauty and I was instantly teleported back to my childhood.  Who doesn’t remember the legendary “Contra” code for infinite live?  I had an Atari system, but my Nintendo system was my first real introduction into hardcore gaming.  I played countless hours of every game and I did beat the original “Legend of Zelda.” This shirt is styled like a 2K by Gingham tee and it’s simple, but has a message that has shaped many of our childhoods.

 

I have yet to try on any of Creep Street tees, but I will be ordering some soon.  I will try to work in an update and let you all know how they fit and feel. Karmaloop has a great selection of Creep Street; actually it’s better the Creep street website. I would buy Creep Street if you are tried of all shit that is sold in all the mall stores these days.  If  you want a tee shirt company with a horror movie feel then Creep Street is ready to cut your insides open and hang you by your entrails.
