The 2019 Shiftee Awards

At this awards ceremony, the only thing being roasted are some tires. When it comes to apexing everything, these were the 2019 works that really took the mantra to heart. To the talented guys n' gals that made our vastly varied lineup possible, we can't promise fame or fortune, just the bragging rights that come with the imaginary Golden Torso.

The T-Shirt Drawer of Fame

Staff Picks From the Year

All too many of my high school notebooks were covered in doodles such as this, so 'Day Dreaming" clicked immediately. With the Hellcat twins as the epitome of 'if grade school was a car', the crystal-clear story was an instant sell for me, and there's so much detail in the piece to delight in.

I'll admit that I don't always have the best ideas. I thought 'The Nurburgring Times' shirt should have done better, but it's a bit hipstery to wear a NYT shirt I guess. But 'Cup Car', that was a solid idea, because it works on so many levels... at least two levels. So many. I have to thank André Shikay for bringing this concept to reality.

This is a biased answer because i helped design this shirt. But it's a fave because it's artistically very different from our usual style plus i got to draw a dragon which is always fun!

I love mashups of car-guy (or gal) insider terms with pop culture references. This hits that mark for me the best of any we offered in 2019.

-Sebastian

A shirt that everyone needs to remind them the importance of Blinker fluid.

-Javed

Always brings back the feeling of the sweet crunchy cereal, mostly eaten at night when you get that 10 pm craving. I personally loved how this design looked on the tri-blend.
