Example #7,260 of how awesome the Internet is: it allows artists from around the world to get paid for turning their unique designs into t-shirts. The best thing is that, for the most part, it is the community (aka the actual consumers) who get to choose the designs they’d actually buy and wear. Here are some of our favorite artist-fueled and community driven t-shirt sites;

Threadless is definitely the most popular community driven t-shirt site out there with a lot of active users. Basically an artist submits their design and the community votes on which designs should be printed, then Threadless prints the winners. The designers get paid a nice sum of cash, too. Threadless offers adult shirts, kid shirts, and even hoodies.

$15 - $40 but watch for their occasional $10 shirt sales.

UneeTee FREE SHIPPING UNTIL 9/30 The word “unee” is a play on the prefix “uni”, which means “one” so Uneetee really means “One Tee”. Clever, eh? The way it works is that an artist submits a design, and it gets voted on by site users. The design with the most votes is featured for a day. Looking for a super deal? Every Saturday and Sunday they randomly select a One Day Tee that has been printed in the past and resell it for one last chance at a very low price.

$15 - $18

Ten Bills says “We sell exclusive designed t-shirts for $10 always. We feature artists from around the world so our t-shirts have our own unique flair.” Exclusive and stylish, their designs do draw the eye, which is why I like them. Although the catalog isn’t huge, Ten Bills is definitely a site to watch.
$10
