Graphic Anime Tees

These T-Shirts by Boomslank Beautifully Capture Manga Culture

— June 24, 2014 — Fashion
Boomslank is a unique clothing retailer that offers consumers the chance to own and wear one-of-a-kind anime T-shirts. Each of the shirts created by designer P-shinobi beautifully merges anime, manga and Japanese culture into wearable works of art.

Unlike most graphic T-shirt retailers, Boomslank does not rely on licensed artwork. Instead Boomslank's in-house designer P-shinobi creates original sketches of characters inspired by other Manga graphic novels, TV shows and films. For example, the 'Zero Frame' robot T-shirt graphic takes inspiration from mecha (machine) anime and Transformer characters. Each T-shirt is printed on a high-quality 100% cotton unisex top that both men and woman can enjoy wearing. For a 50% down payment, you can even commission P-shinobi to create a personalized shirt design.
Trend Themes
1. Original Anime-inspired Tees - Opportunity for creators to design unique clothing items that capture and express their own version of Japanese anime, manga and culture.
2. Unlicensed Artwork Designs - Opportunity for designers to create original artwork inspired by existing pop culture media, allowing them to bypass complex and restrictive licensing agreements.
3. Personalized T-shirt Designs - Opportunity to tap into the desire for personalized and unique clothing by allowing customers to commission their own shirts and designs.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Retail - Opportunity to incorporate unique and personalized designs into retail offerings and expand customer base to fans of niche pop culture.
2. Graphic Design - Opportunity for designers to create original artwork without the need for licensing agreements and use it for different applications beyond fashion.
3. Digital Media - Opportunity for digital media enterprises to create and sponsor original digital content that could inspire new and disruptive anime-inspired products
