Chinese New Year T-shirt (sort of)
Monday, January 31, 2011 13:02 1 CommentUnlike my colleague I’m really not loving many of the Chinese New Year T-shirts I’ve seen this year. Perhaps its because they are bunny themed that they look too cutesy and muted for my taste. There are a few more ‘adult’ T-shirts riffing on ‘Rabbit’ but we can’t share those for decency reasons – this [...]
January Bird T-shirt from Monsterthreads
Wednesday, January 26, 2011 11:39 No CommentsI do have a yen for tee that feature our feathered friends (I don’t know why, but that’s me) and the Australian based collective (or collaboration, as they insist on putting it) Monsterthreads, has one that is a beauty – or possibly a beaut (see what I did there?)

This is the kind of tee that would have made me throw a hissy fit when I was a kid. As a grown up (no smart comments please) I can appreciate the blend of [...]
New Year, New Planet?
Wednesday, January 12, 2011 13:01 No CommentsWell that’s never going to happen in my lifetime. So here’s a teeshirt that looks at what could happen. It’s a product of Scenery, one of those rare graphic design course based brands that actually made it through graduation and into a viable business. There’s always a creative tension in T-shirts between having a compelling [...]
Year of the Rabbit T-shirt
Friday, January 7, 2011 11:09 No CommentsThis is a lovely T-shirt found at redbubble. Okay I know it’s annoying when you can’t see the ‘real’ T-shirt, but for some designs it’s acceptable. This is one of them. The style here reminds me of the Maurice Sendak illustrations for the Little Bear books: not sure how many UK readers will know that [...]
