You Thought We Wouldn't Notice

“There have been loads of copycats since this series of admittedly simplistic t-shirt designs, created by Alyssa Zukas, first appeared at Urban Outfitters in 2007. Most of the biters were clever enough to change things a bit, but not this time. They even had the nerve to use the original Urban Outfitters product photography, AND Alyssa’s name, all over their site. The original tees have “Alyssa Zukas” and a bio screenprinted into the inner neck tag area, along with Urban’s made-up store brand “Spark in the Dark.”

Yes, that’s right… my shirts have been jacked once again! Check out the “you thought we wouldn’t notice” post to see the whole article including comparison shots and get the word out there about crappy counterfeiting!

Lightning Bolt Tee on SYTYCD

Janette from So You Think You Can Dance was seen wearing my Artist Series Lightning Bolt Tee for Urban Outfitters in recap videos from elimination 8 of season 5. It’s the second time one of my tees has made it to SYTYCD and one of numerous times the Lightning Bolt tee has been on TV!

Like it? Get yours here!

Hey everyone, I’m cleaning out my closet so if you want great deals on some of my stuff check out my Ebay store here! I have lots of Free People stuff from past seasons and a few of my own things with most bids starting at $0.99. Enjoy!

Alyssa Zukas ripped off by Kmart? You decide.

And some more that may have been… oh… lightly “inspired by” my original designs:

Kmart Goes Too Far—these tees were NOT designed by Alyssa Zukas. Caveat emptor.

I guess imitation is the highest form of flattery and yadda yadda. On the bright side, it looks like my stuff has caught on so much that big-box stores want their little piece of the action. But I’ll be honest with you—it’s not like I’m making bank on my designs… I still rely on every single item I sell to make ends meet.

What do you think… outright theft? Or [gag]… fair use? Sound off in the comments. I’m pretty P’ed-O and I could use some moral support.

I’ve been hearing a lot lately that my tees have been seen on all kinds of shows but since I’m not much of a hardcore TV watcher I’ve never been able to find out  which, where and when… and that’s where you come in!

Here’s a list of the shows/episodes I’ve been able to track down:
The Hills, Episode 412: “I Want You To Be With Me”
Project Runway, Episode: “College-Age Women” Challenge
America’s Best Dance Crew, Season 2, Week 1: worn by “Fanny Pak”dancer

SO… If you’ve seen any of my tees (you can find them all on “The Goods” section of my site) on TV, or in print somewhere (like a magazine, etc.) send me a message with the show, title, episode, article etc. AND have a screenshot or picture of the shirt on the show or in print and I’LL GIVE YOU $5 towards your next order for any of my tees in my Etsy shop!**

(**Submissions will be judged on a first come first served basis. Duplicate submissions will not recieve $5 credit. I reserve the right to reject submissions for any reason. Rejected submissions will not be used and $5 coupon will not apply. Offer void where prohibited.)

Hey everyone… I will be participating in this year’s Etsy YART sale with a Sample Sale of my tees and any other items I can find!

STARTING TOMORROW, make sure to come check out my store for great deals on some Urban Outfitters Artist Series Tees and much more! The sale will be on from June 10th – 14th so get em while they last…

***6/23 UPDATE*** there are still a few tees left so I’m leaving them ON SALE in the store until they’re all gone!

You can check it out here or use the new “shop” button at the top of the page.
