Threadless Star Trek: TNG x Nike T-Shirt “Air Geordi”

Threadless Star Trek: The Next Generation x Michael Jordan's Air Jordan Nike Brand T-Shirt “Air Geordi”
Air Geordi by Justin Davis

While The Blot’s never been much of a Trekkie, I have always loved Star Trek: The Next Generation. As a kid I probably watched every episode of TNG 2 or 3 times, but nowadays I’d struggle to get through an entire episode. With that being said, I still hold the cast and crew of Star Trek: The Next Generation in high regard and absolutely love this new Threadless design "Air Geordi". This mashup of Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge (played by fan favorite LeVar Burton) with Michael Jordan’s signature “Air Jordan” Nike logo is utter genius. How many t-shirt designs out there can appeal to both geeks and sneaker heads all at the same time? It is also probably one of the few Threadless t-shirts I’ve ordered on the spot!

The Star Trek: TNG t-shirt “Air Geordi” comes printed on a silver t-shirt for guys and a creme t-shirt for girls, and is currently available for purchase at Threadless.com for $20. The shirt comes in both guys and girls styles, sizes S-2XL.

Marvel Movie Poster Series by DaveWill

Marvel Movie Poster Series by DaveWill - The Avengers Print

The Blot was recently introduced to the amazing work of British artist Dave Williams (aka DaveWill), and boy is he producing some really fun movie prints. I just wish I’d found out about him before his Marvel Movie Poster Series sold out! DaveWill is a graphic designer/illustrator from Liverpool, UK who loves to design alternative movie posters in his spare time. Over the past year he’s designed movie posters for X-Men: First Class, Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor and now The Avengers!

Marvel Movie Poster Series by DaveWill - Captain America: The First Avenger Print

While all four posters are great, I especially like DaveWill’s designs for Thor and X-Men: First Class because of their retro feel. The SHILED logo in The Avengers poster is also pretty awesome.  Each movie poster in DaveWill’s Marvel Movie Poster Series has been released as an 18”x24” print on 350gsm stock. Only 10 prints of each Marvel movie poster were produced and they retailed for around $40, but unfortunately they’re all gone now. Keep your eyes peeled to DaveWill’s official website for future releases in this exciting series.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation First Look: Ray Park as Snake Eyes

G.I. Joe Retaliation First Look - Ray Park as Snake Eyes

So G.I. Joe: Retaliation has finally started releasing some still images of its cast and first up is fan favorite Snake Eyes (played by Ray Park). While Snake Eye’s overall look in the first film was spot on, his helmet was pretty much hated by everyone because of the molded lips. Why would they do that for a character known for not speaking? Seems like a Michael Bay move to me! It ranks right up there with the nipples on Batman’s uniform in Batman and Robin as one of the stupidest costume decisions ever. Thankfully they got it right this time by dropping the lips and amping up the cool! It’s just too bad they didn’t go with this look from the start. For those of you keeping score at home…that makes it G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra - 0, G.I. Joe: Retaliation - 1.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation is scheduled to premier in theaters on June 29, 2012.
