Voting for tee shirts to be printed is no new thing. However, the designs on this new Southern Hemisphere site, Glennz Designs, are definitely new. In fact, some are really funny.
Refreshingly, the designs manage to avoid the usual cliches that tend to swamp so many of these statement tee shirt sites. For example, although "Star Wars" is largely avoided, check out the gallery for a refreshingly different take on Darth Vader as an egg cup!
