2012 Threads is a relatively obscure indie brand with a unique theme: the 2012 Mayan apocalypse. I wasn’t expecting much out of this label, considering that I find the whole 2012 paranoia to be rather inane, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the art. The designs — as expected — are dark and foreboding, but with a splash of vibrant color to keep them from being too “doom and gloom”. It’s a pretty strong line-up altogether, including a design called Robot Apocalypse by the famous godmachine. This piece creates a spin on the concept by adding a giant robot to the mix. 
I’m pretty sure the Mayans never thought of seeing that bringing about the end of the world!
However, my favorite items in their store have got to be the two below, Galactic Alignment and Solar Flare Storm, both done by another well-known name in the tee world: Collision Theory. Both are strong in execution and make use of the astronomy/sky motifs that have become trademarks of the artist’s style. The use of color (as usual) is just fantastic, and is truly what brings these pieces to life. The glittering sky in “Galactic Alignment”, streaked with meteorites, is especially nice.
