So Sketchy

Eight3one and Tiny Critters Tees

Summer’s coming and with it, the need for a rotation of groovy tees.

Stock up with dinosaur, flying guitar, dragon, and bicycle T-shirts from urban graphic label Eight3one. The 100 percent cotton shirts and onesies bear funky ink drawings that stand the test of time.

Or appease little animals with Tiny Critter designs: simple, colorful tees with folksy creatures (sea horse, lobster, turtle).

Your kids will definitely be drawn to them.
