One of the cool things about being in the indie tee industry has been getting to know a lot of awesome artists and entrepreurs from around the globe. Unlike the corporate world, there’s a real sense of comradery present within the smaller tee brands. We keep in touch via each others’ Flickr and Twitter accounts and will occasionally do tee trades.
One such brand that I’ve personally followed for awhile is Seibei. Chances are, if you know your indie tee brands you’ve probably heard of it already, because the owner and designer, David Murray, has worked his butt off for the last five years making awesome stuff. You can read the full story behind the brand here (I really need to get my story up on my website!).
One thing that makes his stuff so appealing is its unique sense of wackiness, most of which comes straight from its creator. This consistency is really important in branding, and it’s that unique voice that every brand owner needs to find and polish to be successful.
Awesomely, David has just launched a new version of his website, which now features a second language to choose from (Japanese) and a bunch of other cool things to explore. So go check it out!

And just for the record, I’m doing this because Seibei and David are both awesome, and not because David’s old site listed me as a partner and drove tons of traffic to Linty Fresh…

When can we expect some new LF belts? and you know what would be awesome, dome LF boxers..oh yehhhh
