I'm Still Rich


Available for a modest $2,695 (add $630 if you want it in black), the I'm Still Rich t-shirt is a very stylish way to let people know just who you are.

The Haymaker


Wearing this shirt is like wearing a checklist of manliness. It's also very informative in regard to what you should do in the face of a bear attack. I don't fear bears like i do whales, and this shirt does a fine job of explaining why.

I've always been much more afraid of whales than, say, sharks. If this shirt doesn't explain why, I really don't know what to tell you. I have it and I've been wearing it as a warning to others for years now. A whale can kill you and not even give a shit. It doesn't care about your blood and will not be drawn into a frenzy for it. Your death is incidental.

Whales are godless killing machines.

God, I want this shirt.

APOCALYPSE

This is honest to god one of my favorite articles of clothing of all time. I've had this shirt for years now and I wear it all the time. It's beginning to wear out, though. So I'm buying another one. Right now.

I describe it as my shirt that goes "puooooogh" (that's me attempting to spell out the explosion sound effect I make.) I think it's absolutely perfect. Shirt. Explosion. Shirt with explosion on it. This is the Mona Lisa of t-shirts.

High Five


The High Five Shirt. Available from Raptor Bandit Industries, this attractive little number is one that I've yet to purchase myself because I just never seem to have the money when I'm in the mood. I'm torn about my love for it because it's so clearly meant to be funny (which is not what I like in a shirt) but at the same time it's just so awesome. Shark and Gorilla high five in front of an explosion. The "Nice." is almost too much, I think, and it kind of spells out the awesomeness for people, but it's kind of a funny addition. I guess.

I still want it so very badly.

HEY


i designed this shirt in my senior year of high school. i mocked it up in photoshop and made flyers that i posted around school with my mock-up and the message "I WILL GIVE YOU FIVE DOLLARS PLUS COST IF YOU MAKE ME A SHIRT THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS. THIS IS NOT A JOKE." when i was getting them approved for posting the woman at the desk looked at the flyers for ten seconds, then back at me, and said "i don't get it." i didn't really see what was not to get, and i informed her of this opinion. she replied by asking me "is it a joke?"

okay. right at the bottom. in big letters. this is not a joke. i informed her that i did not know how to screen-print shirts but knew some teachers and students did and this was my way of reaching them. she denied my request. however, the generous teachers in the art department allowed me to post them only in their classrooms. so i still got it made. medium. gray. just how i like it. i had to print out the stencils and stuff but all the grunt work of it was done for me.

my creative process here was just that i wanted a shirt that could start conversations for me and skip the greeting process. its pretty useful for that.

the teacher that made it actually kept the stencil and made a shitload of HEY shirts in various colors and sizes and sold them to students as fundraising for the school. i was so pissed. i got him to discontinue this and destroy the stencil but there are still a bunch of former madison memorial high school students with like yellow or red or lime-green HEY shirts. which was not my creative intent. i'd still probably sell this shirt if i had a bunch of them. but only in that shade of gray. and i would adjust the size of the text for each size, because that's perfect for MEDIUM but if you want a large there's just way too much empty space there.

alright. i'm done now.

"The Epic Begins"


i thought this'd be a fitting first shirt for the blog. it's still on sale over at shirtwoot and i think it's awesome. i wore it the other day and somebody asked me why i was wearing a shirt with turtles on it drinking poison. i told her that it's not poison, it's ooze. and it's mutating them. she thought for a second and then asked if they were becoming ninjas. indeed they are.

in the beginning

hey everybody whats going on. my name is alex and i simply love shirts. shirts are the best. i don't love clothes or fashion or anything like that, just t-shirts that have awesome things on them. not necessarily funny things, because most shirts that try to be funny get old after five minutes of wearing them in public, if they were at all funny to begin with. a shirt with an explosion on it or something.

i spend a lot of time looking at shirt.woot.com, threadless, stuff like that. the best shirts i've ever found though are ones at garage sales or goodwill. i frequent those places too. i'm always on the lookout for an awesome t-shirt from anywhere. i have a lot of free time and i'm a pretty ridiculous person.

anyway i started this blog just to share my almost disgusting love for shirts with the world. i'll post about awesome shirts here and provide links if theyre for sale so that you fine people can be in on the fun, too. if it's a garage sale find or something though i'll just have to share a photo while you admire it in awe, as you would a fine work of art or a sweet gun battle in a movie.

i also occasionally design shirts and if i do any new ones i'll definitely post them.
