Over the last 4 years graphic designers and tee shirt lovers have made the site Emptees into a collective tee shirt lovers community. This was a place in which designers and artists could showcase designs and ideas in a constructive community of peers. Started by a company of artists and web gurus called Indie Labs, this site has been the launching pad for several custom apparel brands over the years. Hundreds of people all over the world log on to Emptees.com daily to get their news, inspiration or feedback but most of all for those who have been there for long enough it’s a strong sense of community and friendship that keeps them coming back. However, due to the lack of available help for upkeep and monitoring the site was shut down by its parent company in early February of 2011. Having heard of the impendent doom of their beloved site, many computer savvy members banded together to create a twin site much resembling the once thriving Emptees. Out of this collaboration came the site Mintees.com that much like its predecessor would serve to allow artists to showcase and communicate between members of the original site. By doing such things as transferring all designs and profiles from Emptees to the newly created site, Mintees.com has continued the deep community started four years ago by Emptees.com and is now thriving more than ever.
