Why is it soooo cold? This weather is just crazy. So anyhoo, after last week’s snippy conversation between me and Mikey, I get to have another pick this week as he booked a holiday. Poor Mikey. I hope his tent is waterproof. And given just how cold it is everywhere, I have chosen this Poketo [...]

Conversation in our office: Me: Look at this, isn’t that the coolest retro Tee you ever saw? Don’t you just love that punched ticket design? Mikey: Mpmph. Me: And hey, looky here! A really solid size guide with all the measurements included. Even HSP. What is HSP anyway? Mikey: You don’t need that. Me: Yeah [...]

This may not look like the most elegant T-shirt ever, but believe me, it’s been the most exciting thing I’ve seen for a long, long time. This is a garment that, according to the Japanese designers, is based on the area cleared by windscreen wipers. So that’s definitely an abstract depiction! Anyway, depending on the [...]

My mom was a nurse. This may seem like too much information, but it explains my instant negative reaction to Adhesion. You see, from my childhood, I knew adhesions were bad news because they are ‘bands of scar-like tissue that form between two surfaces inside the body and cause them to stick together’ which is [...]

Girl with a dragon tattoo? I think so! I love the Steig Larsson books and I love this T-shirt which is, in fact a Geisha image (as an aside, I can actually do that thing with the chopstick hair updo, and it’s pretty awesome) and comes from Akumu (Japanese for bad dream, in case you [...]

My mind is running on Lent issues at the moment as everybody (except Mikey) seems to have given up something bad or taken up something good. My little world is full of pious ex-smokers and virtuous ex-chocaholics along with foul-mouthed folk who are putting money in a jar every time they curse and sending it [...]

Found over at Design by Humans, this Holy Shark T-shirt is a bloody (pun intended) glorious design by Shinto 896 and it suggests what might happen if you fall off a sailing vessel T-shirt into the briny. I felt the balance between colour, shape and dynamic imagery was pretty well perfect on this one. The [...]

Not a pirate but still a schooner of a T-shirt, this neat little tee is not the cheapest, but the Euro is struggling and if we don’t support the economy, maybe there won’t be a Europe left for language students to come and invade every year! I like the delicacy of the shading on this [...]

Square Thursday go across my radar and sometimes barely make a blip, but this T-shirt won my heart. When I was a kid I used to do origami a lot. My mom bought me a book of designs and papers and I used to go to her office after school and sit on the floor [...]
