I suppose I don’t really mind the rain that much, but I’m to understand that other people do. This shirt shows a little bird who apparently isn’t very fond of the lousy weather, so he or she has taken it upon him or herself to paint a nice lovely picture of a beautiful sunny day on the underside of an umbrella. I suppose there’s something to be said for looking up and seeing the sun, but I’m not sure how much someone would really be fooled by this. There’s only so much you can kid yourself.

Hilarious! I remember playing cowboys and indians as a child, and the Indian this shirt depicts never came to mind. I also remember later in life referencing “Cowpeople and Native Americans” (as a joke!) when politically correct language had gotten popular. I love the idea that a native Indian riding an elephant would be the target of old western cowboys, though – the cowboy might have a gun, but I’m pretty sure it’s going to take more than that to take out the elephant!

Adorable! This shirt shows the lengths a hungry bear will go to to get honey. Bees, from what I’m to understand, are pretty smart, though. They might see through his ruse and recognize that the wings are actually tied onto his back. Plus, he’s pretty big for a bee, I’m not sure he could even fit into the hive. Still, honey is pretty awesome, so I can understand why he has to at least try. (Available at Threadless)
Oh, you clever designers. Birds of prey pictured as religious leaders, we see an owl as a bishop (or the pope?), some kind of hawk (I think) as a rabbi, a vulture monk, and an eagle imam. Either way, birds of pray, very clever. (Available at Threadless)
Well, yes, that would be lethal. The funniest part of this shirt to me is how it if you catch the right part of it at first, it looks like you’re wearing a shirt just with a bare-chested man on it.. then you see the lion head. Either way, it’s pretty funny, and this man would indeed be quite lethal. It almost reminds me of Aslan from Narnia.. but in less of a dogmatic kind of way. (Available at Design By Humans)
This pretty awesome looking shirt shows some cute forest creatures (a wolf, a porcupine, some kind of lizard, a raccoon, a monkey..) watching an owl project the moon onto the night sky. Their movie screen of a cloud clearing frames their “scene” from the rest of the empty blue shirt – cool looking design. (Available at Threadless)
Fasten your seat belts indeed! Perhaps even bring your seats to their upright position and stow your tray tables, the poor plane on this t-shirt seems to be experiencing a bit of giant bird (eagle?) and lightning related turbulence. I feel safe saying I will never have to worry about this particular situation when flying – even the cheap airlines. (Available at Threadless)
Yowch! I didn’t know bulls (or should I go with the shirt and say toro? I don’t know Spanish) were so vengeful. This shirt looks positively awesome though, with a bull dramatically tearing through the chest of the red t-shirt and enacting it’s horns on the wearer (the matador?), or at least on the shirt. I love the detail that comes through with just the single silhouetted color to represent both the bull and the flaws in the shirt that it creates. (Available at Threadless)
Not to be confused with the Adam Sandler movie, this shirt with a little boy leaning back on a friendly bear in the middle of the woods is pretty awesome. It reminds me of Where the Wild Things are or My Neighbor Totoro – where traditionally ferocious forest creatures are friendly to the small children that find them. Well, maybe the bear and the raccoon – I’m not sure bunnies and tweety birds are ever ferocious. (Available at Threadless)
This shirt is pretty amazing looking, you have to click through and see the detail on the smoke. The smoke drifting out of this quaint cottage into the red sky is fantastic – birds are flying through the smoke and a 3d wireframe looking mesh, there’s a moon formed in the upper-left.. it’s just sweet.

Poor buffalo. Everyone enjoy’s delicious buffalo wings, but what with the rest of the animal? Everyone once in a while a buffalo burger, but hardly as often as its tasty buffalo wings that are ordered in increments of ten or twenty. And the sauce! I don’t even want to know what part of the buffalo goes into making that spicy sauce. Looking at this shirt, I’m starting to wonder if a buffalo is much smaller than I remember it – you can fit a bunch of those wings on a tiny plate, so they must be the size of rats! I thought they were much larger, myself. (Available at Threadless)
I could swear I’ve posted this one before! I don’t know what the difference between millipedes and centipedes are – beyond the obvious 10fold increase in legs – but I like the shirt. If more legs make the better bug, than just like the shirt says, millipedes are like 10 times better than centipedes! (Available at Threadless)
A giant lion with an eye patch popping out of the skull of .. a skull, floating atop a checkerboard pattern emanating from a castle.. yeah I can’t really describe this one. But, it looks pretty awesome. (Available at Design By Humans)
Kitty cat! As cats are wont to do, this precious little thing has got him or herself a big one! While you hear about cats and their taste for birds and fish, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a cat fond enough of water to actually fish themselves. That being said, if a cat were actually big enough to grab a whale in it’s mouth like this, I don’t think it would be afraid of the water. I don’t think it would be afraid of anything. Kitty just has to be careful the search doesn’t consume it. (Available at Threadless)
Amazing! I love the little penguins in the shirt standing in a row like an octave of a keyboard. I’d play the penguin piano any day, and they look happy enough to possibly enjoy it themselves. If Happy Feet taught me anything, it’s that penguins love to sing, so I’m sure that’s the sound this piano would manifest. (Available at Threadless)
Little turtle! I’m not sure I know exactly why a turtle needs to shapeshift – they seem pretty safe in their shells – but I like the idea. Their already geometric shell patterns lend themselves to computer generated 3D modeling, so I suppose one leads to the other easily, if not for an obvious purpose. I’d still like to see it!

This shirt has a pretty simple image as t-shirts go, but I like it. A dove, a symbol of peace, giving the peace sign with his or her wings. I like it, and the old worn out t-shirt printing works for it. (Available at Threadless)
Well, monkeys are pretty awesome. And monkey suits (I wonder why tuxedos got the moniker “monkey suit”?) are pretty awesome. So, a monkey in a money suit.. well, you see where I’m going with this shirt. That the monkey looks shifty is no surprise, people in tuxedos are, as movies have taught me, primarily spies. And Sinatra, but this isn’t him. (Available at Threadless)
Dandy lions! I always wondered as a child why the little weeds (that my father so hated – I never understood why some flowers were weeds and yet we planted others, though) were named after lions. Looking back, I imagine it’s just as it’s depicted on this shirt – the yellow flower resembles a lion’s mane. The iconic image of a pride of lions lounging on the plains of the Serengeti must have been conjured in someone’s mind when gazing out across a field filled with dandelions at some point, so the dandy lions were named. Or maybe it’s just a coincidence, I don’t know. (Available at Threadless)
What? It’s just what it says, it’s a flying dog in outer space. Does your dog fly in outer space? Has your dog even been to outer space? Well then. I believe I have said enough. (Available at Threadless)
