I’m a big fan of beautifully designed letter forms, especially the ampersand. I love the way typographers handcraft it in a way that sets it apart from the other characters. For that reason, this T-Shirt from Snake & Suits really caught my eyes. It features a gorgeously shaped ampersand – I’m not sure what typeface it is. It reminds me of Baskerville italic, but it is a little fatter.

I wish the photo was larger and they’d show other perspectives of the shirt, but it is printed on an American Apparel T-Shirt and appears to be of high quality.

These cute characters, in a typical Japanese manner, inform you that you must be 20 years old to buy tobacco and alcohol. I guess in Japan legal drinking and smoking age is 20, and they have signs with cute characters like these at convenience stores. Even if you can’t read Japanese, it’s not that hard to figure out what this wacky T-Shirt is about.

Are you haunted by weird noises at night? Sound of strange creatures and squeaky noise coming from somewhere. Afraid something might be hiding in your closet or under the bed? Well, do not be afraid anymore. The Monster Mash from Fantastic Bonanza supposedly use their own patented space-age technologies to squash those ghosts, hobgoblins, monsters and aliens into something more palatable – rainbow, sunshine, smiley face and more.

Do you want a proof? Wear the Monster Mash tee and find out.

I’m not sure why I like this shirt. It looks messy as if a huge bird pooped on the shirt or somebody spilled some paint on it. But it’s cool the way the graphics is on the collar and and flows over onto the shoulder. Maybe it’s the free-flowing nature of the image. Fly away!

We all need to speak up our minds. But sometimes we’re all pigeonholed into our own political leanings we forget that the people from the opposite political spectrum can have valid arguments. Let’s debate! The society wouldn’t function if people all think the same way.

The messages on the T-Shirts from Politeed don’t preach as much as they enable people into thinking and talking about controversial and provocative topics. And that’s a good thing.

It’s a little known secret that there are gnomes everywhere being mischievous. But pooping on your toothbrush? My god! Now you know why your tooth brush stinks. It’s not the bacteria as you might have heard. It’s those damn gnomes.

Despite its grossness, the design is quite cute and not offensive at all (to me, at least). This T-Shirt While You Were Out is from Teetsy in Chicago, where all the designers are friends and coworkers in motion graphics.
