If there’s one thing to know about The Blot it’s that I love to sleep! It’s probably why I’m so in love with Texas’ own Sleepy Dan and his awesome sleep themed indie clothing brand. Dan’s been doing some incredible things up in Dallas since he launched his brand back in 2011, and I know the sky’s the limit for this inventive designer. And for all you designer toy collectors, Dan also makes some killer custom figures!
To launch 2012 designs, Sleepy Dan organized a gallery event for local artists to create Sleepy Dan brand themed paintings while Dan did some live t-shirt screen printing. What a way to kick off Sleepy Dan T-Shirt Series 2, which features four sleep themed designs. All four of these designs do a great job showcasing Dan’s unique art style, but I especially love the “Sleeper Hold” design, which features a poor little teddy bear getting the sleeper hold put on it! I’m also digging the “Bed Head” design, which reminds me of a simpler time…like when The Blot still had hair!
All of the Sleepy Dan t-shirts ($26), v-necks ($22) and polos ($28) are currently on sale at the Sleepy Dan online store in sizes S-XXXL. You can purchase Sleepy Dan’s entire collection at Karmaloop!
