Yes, Go Ape Shirts is still alive! I promise. To prove it, I put up a new shirt designed by Yaiagift. More is still on the way, too. Get excited!

by Josh on Monday, April 27, 2009

The Ape-ocalypse is here! This new shirt was designed by Leon Ryan. He has been with Go Ape since the beginning, as he is the man responsible for designing our logo! Speaking of beginnings, Go Ape Shirts has now been open for three years. It has come a long way since starting with only four designs. Thank you all for keeping us in business all this time. I have a few more designs to put up soon, and Evolver and Elliot's New Friend have both been restocked.

This is the second update within one week! I told you that I would make it up to you. This one is based off of a pun and some symbolism if you're in on it. "Who Watches the Watches?" by Rocky Davies is available now! Again, you should also follow me on Twitter if you have it.

by Josh on Friday, February 13, 2009

"Go Barbarian" by Ron Lewis is now available in the shop! Also, "Boo Boo Walker", "Guitar Solo", and "Zombie of Oz" have all been restocked. I apologize for the break in updates. I will make it up to you soon! Lastly, you can now follow me on Twitter!

"I'm Walken on Sunshine" by lunchboxbrain, a.k.a. Andrew Gregory, is now up for sale! Also, "Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree" and "Killovision" tees have been restocked in all sizes. Yay!

by Josh on Tuesday, November 18, 2008

It's that time again! "Battleready" by the very talented Derek M Ballard is now up for sale. It is a jumbo print and our first on American Apparel's organic and sustainable shirts. In more unfortunate news, a lot of you have noticed that the "Bar Trekkin'" shirt suddenly went missing. This shirt has been challenged by CBS, owners of the Star Trek franchise. While we believe that the design is a parody protected by law, we are complying with their demand. Lastly, it is holiday shopping season again already! I will do my best to get to the post office once every three business days at the longest. When you place an order, if you received a confirmation email from PayPal, I have received your order. Sorry if this is not clear. Anyways, that's all for now. I'll try to have another update within the next week!

by Josh on Wednesday, October 22, 2008

It's time to go "Bar Trekkin'"! The new design was created by Ralph Webb. Be sure to check it out! Also, "Boo Boo Walker" hoodies are still in stock for now.

by Josh on Wednesday, October 1, 2008

"Natural Order of Things" by Tofer Moran is now up for sale! It's printed on a poly-cotton 50/50 blend shirt, rather than the usual 100% cotton. It is SUPER soft, and the print turned out incredible. Also, as promised, Boo Boo Walker hoodies are back. This time, I have sizes XS-XXL. I would recommend ordering a larger size, as these do tend to run a bit small. I don't have many, so be sure to pick one up soon if you want one.

by Josh on Thursday, September 4, 2008

Good news! Go Ape Shirts has not disappeared. I'm finally all settled in to a new place, complete with an entire "shirt room". The internet connection here is finally hooked up after over a month of battles with the service providers. I apologize for taking so long to answer some of your emails. We are back into the full swing of things now. "Boo Boo Walker", "Elliot's New Friend", and "Evolver" have all been restocked. Some "Boo Boo Walker" hoodies will be back in the shop very soon. A new design from our friend, Aaron Hogg, has just been released. It's called "Face of Capitalism". The smaller pictures don't quite do it justice, so there is a link for a larger view on the product page. That's all the news for now. More new shirts are on the horizon!

by Josh on Wednesday, July 22, 2008

"Stream of Life" by Jan Willem Wennekes aka Zeptonn is a jumbo print on a brown shirt. The gradient on this print turned out amazing. Jan has been a friend of Go Ape Shirts for a while now. He is also the artist behind "Critter Parade". You should definitely check out his new book Black & White Freedrawings, which he recently released. Lastly, I still have some Beautiful/Decay magazines left. They come free with orders of two or more shirts.

by Josh on Monday, June 9, 2008

"The Ultimate Cute Shirt" is finally here. It's a bright jumbo print on a white tee, designed by Christian San Jose aka csj89. In other news, I'm going to China for a month next week. My girlfriend, Caren, will be in charge of processing orders. I'll be training her this week, so she will do her best to keep shipments on time. I'll try my hardest to keep up with customer service emails, too. In the last update, I forgot to mention that Go Ape Shirts has been up and running for over two years. It sure has grown a lot! In the beginning, there were only 4 designs available. Now there are 37 and counting! Thank you, everyone, for all of your continued support!

I'll repeat this part from the last update. If you buy two or more shirts, an issue of Beautiful/Decay magazine will be included in your order. The Facebook fan page is still around, so be sure to join up if you haven't already. Lastly, as always, jpg and gif files are posted on my flickr if you need them.

by Josh on Tuesday, May 6, 2008

"Human Spirit" by Danny Jones aka YASLY is now up for sale. The quote, "Chalk up another victory for the human spirit," is from Planet of the Apes, one of the big inspirations behind Go Ape Shirts. This is another jumbo print, and there's another on the way soon. I also wanted to mention that the offer is still going for the free issue of Beautiful/Decay. If you buy two or more shirts, it will be included in your order. The Facebook fan page is still around, so be sure to join up if you haven't already. Lastly, as always, jpg and gif files are posted on my flickr if you need them!

by Josh on Monday, April 14, 2008

There is a lot of new news today! "Boo Boo Walker", "Guitar Solo", "The Zombie of Oz", and "Battle!" have all been restocked. "The Persistence of Rock" was also reprinted, but this time on army colored tees. The next big piece of news is that two new shirts are now up for sale! Olly Moss's third design for Go Ape Shirts is called "The Waste Land", inspired by the T.S. Eliot poem of the same name. It is a jumbo print on a creme-colored shirt. "Zero" was designed by Joshua Agerstrand aka ladrones. This design was printed on grey tri-blend tees, which are SUPER soft. They do tend to run a bit smaller than the normal AA tees and shrink a little more, so you may want to order a size up if you're between sizes. The extra cost of these tees is due to the extra cost of the blanks. Lastly, if you order more than one shirt, I'll throw in an issue of Beautiful/Decay!

by Josh on Tuesday, March 11, 2008

It's two for Tuesday here at Go Ape Shirts! We're going First off, it's Huskwork's "Kiss of Death" design, which was inspired by 70s psychedelic posters. Fast forward to the mid 80s and we have Ed Pincombe's old school "Hip Hop Hibernation". If you order within the next few days, I can get these mailed out by Friday. After that, I will be away all of next week. Orders placed after that won't be sent out until the following Tuesday. When I return, more new stuff is coming, including some long-requested reprints!

by Josh on Thursday, February 28, 2008

Surprise! It's Go Disco time for Go Ape. The release schedule felt a bit too structured, so I decided to put up a new shirt for sale today. "Go Disco" by Sockmonkee is the first jumbo print for Go Ape Shirts. As you can see in the pictures, it takes up pretty much the whole front of the tee. Check it out! More random releases are coming soon too! Also, the Facebook group now has over 100 members. Thanks guys!

by Josh on Monday, February 25, 2008

... And we are the dreamers of dreams. C86's "We Are the Music Makers" is now up for sale! Also, if you're not on the newsletter and would like to be added, you can use the "Contact" page to submit your email to the list. More shirts are coming soon... sooner than you may think :).

by Josh on Monday, February 11, 2008

OCH! As promised, another new shirt is up for sale. "Fashion Rules" by Guillermo Piva is now available in the shop. Check it out!

by Josh on Monday, January 28, 2008

I'm back! I know it's been a while, but Go Ape Shirts is back on schedule. That means that you can now again expect a new shirt every other Monday. Today's new shirt is "While the Kids are in Standby Mode" by StrongLikeBull. Also, due to popular demand, "Killovision" has been restocked. 2008 is going to be a big year for Go Ape Shirts, so be sure to keep checking back!

by Josh on Monday, December 3, 2007

"Parasites" by Adolfo Serra is now for sale! Due to the holidays, it will be the last new design of this year. The same release schedule will return in early January. A lot of people have asked about "Boo Boo Walker" being reprinted. I am waiting on both "Boo Boo Walker" and "Elliot's New Friend" shirts from the print shop. They told me that these would be mailed to me towards the end of this week. If all goes well, this probably means that I will be able to mail them on the 17th. Unfortunately, I can't guarantee getting them to you before Christmas. I will update this post later when I receive the tracking information. ***UPDATE on 12/17*** If you would like to place an order for "Elliot's New Friend" or "Boo Boo Walker", you now can! I will be receiving these shirts today and tomorrow, and I will send them out as soon as possible via priority mail. On a similar note, Go Ape Shirts will be on vacation from December 21 - January 6. Any orders placed in that time frame will not go out until the following week in January. I think that's all the news for now. Again, if you are on facebook, be sure to become a fan of Go Ape Shirts. Happy holidays to everyone!!

by Josh on Monday, November 19, 2007

Cloxboy's "Dawn of the Dude" is now up for sale in the shop! It will definitely tie your shirt collection together. "The Zombie of Oz" and "Guitar Solo" are now back in stock. Also, if you are on facebook, be sure to become a fan of Go Ape Shirts. Lastly, all orders will be shipped next week since I am home for Thanksgiving. It shouldn't be much of a delay though. Big thanks to everyone for your continued support!

by Josh on Monday, November 5, 2007

"Hope Attack" by the amazing Nick Deakin is now for sale! I'm really happy with how the print turned out (and I'm sure you will be too if you order it!). Special thanks go out to Fun Phil for joining us on our photo shoot in a random "park" we found. In other news, "Guitar Solo" and "The Zombie of Oz" are still on backorder. Hopefully I will get them back in within the next week or so. The one-shirt-every-two-weeks schedule is still in motion, so keep checking back!

by Josh on Monday, October 22, 2007

Another new tee has been released, "Happy Nightmare" by theworksteady a.k.a. Colin Strandberg. Also, you can now order "Guitar Solo" and "The Zombie of Oz". However, I am still waiting on receiving them from the print shop. They should be ready in roughly 3-4 weeks. If you order one of these shirts, I will send it to you as soon as it comes in. Thanks!

by Josh on Monday, October 8, 2007

As promised, a new shirt has been released. "Longarm" was designed by the extremely talented Olly Moss. He is also the man behind "Evolver". Enjoy!

by Josh on Monday, September 24, 2007

"Guitar Solo" by Tom Burns has been added to the shop. The new plan is to release a new shirt every other Monday, so keep checking back! Also, Boo Boo Walker, Elliot's New Friend, and Evolver have all been restocked. The Evolver print is now a little bit bigger. I'm not completely out of the old ones though, so if you would prefer one with a bigger print, please make a note of it in the comments section on the checkout page. The last bit of news is a good one. Boo Boo Walker can be seen in the October issue of Stuff Magazine!

by Josh on Sunday, August 12, 2007

Three new shirts have been added to the shop. This is the first time that the interval between new shirt batches has been less than a month! I'm planning on keeping this up. I know it's warm right now for most of you, so act now! This is prime t-shirt weather. As I'm writing this, it's 104 degrees Fahrenheit here, so also be glad that you're somewhere else. I can't complain though. A lot of the time I can get away with wearing t-shirts during the winter. Anyways, I hope you all have been enjoying the summer sun!

by Josh on Tuesday, June 19, 2007

Finally! Three new designs are now for sale. Be sure to check them out. Also, I will be out of town again visiting family, so all orders from now until July 5th will be mailed out on the 6th. After that, there will not be any more breaks for a long time. Boo Boo Walkers will be in stock in all sizes by then. Those of you still waiting for those orders should also expect them to be mailed out on the 6th. Anyways, I hope everyone likes the new shirts. Keep spreading the word!

by Josh on Tuesday, June 5, 2007

I'm back from vacation, and all orders up to today's have been shipped out. Some internet buzz starting with tcritic.com and then to digg.com and others (thank you all so much!!) kept me busy with shipping out Boo Boo Walkers. As a result, they are on backorder in sizes medium and large. I hope to have them back in stock in about 4 weeks. If you order them now, your order will be shipped when I have them again. New shirts are coming very, very soon, so be sure to keep an eye out.

by Josh on Monday, May 7, 2007

This is important! All orders placed after Thursday, May 10th, will not be mailed out until the first week of June. I will be traveling through Europe in celebration of finishing my undergraduate college years. I will do my best to answer all of your emails. Once I get back from the trip, expect a fresh batch of tees. On another note, Go Ape Shirts has now been open for 365 days! Thank you all for making it such an amazing first year!

by GoApeShirts on Sunday, March 4, 2007

There are now three new shirts for sale, so be sure to check them out! The new product pictures can give you a taste of the Sonoran Desert which I live in. I also wanted to give a huge thanks to my wonderful girlfriend, Caren, for helping me make the pictures much more interesting :).

by GoApeShirts on Wednesday, January 8, 2007

All guys' medium through xxl Evolver tees are currently out of stock. They will be back in less than 2 weeks. They are still available to order. I just wanted to let you all know that there is a slight delay on them. Thanks! They are now back in stock!!

by GoApeShirts on Monday, November 20, 2006

Yes that's right! There are three new tees now available in the shop. From now on, the tags that are printed inside are going to be even more customized. They will include the design's name and the artist's name. You will notice other modifications for each design as well. Also, a special edition sticker featuring a beat up ape logo will be included with every order of "I Want You to Hit Me As Hard As You Can." Lastly, there are still some Boo Boo Walker hoodies left in case you need some help keeping warm. Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans!

by GoApeShirts on Wednesday, August 30th, 2006
