Hello, My Name is Mary and I am a T-Shirtaholic.
July 21st, 2005T-shirts have somehow become an addiction. Not only making them, which is actually only a fairly recent event, but buying the suckers!
Since I have joined Cafepress, I have made friends with some extremely talented artists and they keep making these nifty cool tees. And then I have to have them. Take, for instance, this funky, retro Mod Veggies design from Rotemgear.com. I took one look and knew I was a goner. How can one possibly resist neon veggies? I thought you would understand. It is now one of my prize possessions, and I intend to show it off as soon as possible.
At the same time I purchase the Veggies, I was seized by a strong and irresistible compulsion to wander over to Bradley Schenck’s Retro-Futurist Design Shop. Yep, that’s correct, retro-futurist. Take a look, you’ll see what I mean. Bradley’s artwork is stunning. I was forced to obtain a Sun Horse, Moon Horse ash grey tee. There simply was no point in trying to escape, the credit card had already leaped into my welcoming hand.
My poor suffering karma then decided that the only way to make up for my rampant consumerist urges was to make my own tee and offer it up as a sacrifice in the marketplace. OK, maybe not a sacrifice, but offer it up anyway. Personally, I like to feel that I am merely doing my part for the stumbling economy. Since pugs are a frequent and persistent muse, I was not at all surprised when this rather disgruntled fellow, a butterfly atop his quivering nose, leapt from my fevered brain to the computer screen and then onto shirts and such.
Of course, in order to maintain this crucial balance, I must immediately begin looking to secure my next t-shirt treasure . . .
