Imagination Foundation

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

Thanks again to BoingBoing.net, I've stumbled across something wonderful.

http://www.imaginaryfoundation.com/

Check out their store, too. Beautiful Tshirts galore.

If you're intellectual, imaginative, and inventive folk, I think you'll like what you find.

I just spent a virtual $120 on myself and Chris. The
"Not Afraid" and "Keep it Surreal" are my favorites.

[CoasterMatt]

I love the "Music Is A Force of Nature" one :D

[Ghoulish Delight]

How very Gilliam.

"Profound Absurdity". Me likes.

Very cool. Another cool T-shirt site is www.threadless.com (http://www.threadless.com). All the designs are submitted by people and then other people vote to determine which ones are actually printed and sold. There are some really cool shirts there.

Some of those would make good posters but they all look ugly as t-shirts.

Though this polo (http://www.imaginaryfoundation.com/index.php?pagemode=detail&type=Polo&uid=C34346) isn't bad. But then I am probably turned off by their obvious misguided appreciation for Monty Python.

Man, I think they're beautiful shirts. Gorgeous.

I wanted that "tools" design, but it's not offered in women's sizing. That's uncool, and a tad disturbing. :(

I'm not issuing a global statement. Just personal preference. I don't really like pictures on my clothes. Prints and colors are fine, but words and pictures not so much.

So the ironic t-shirt fad has mostly passed me by.

I like several of the designs, just not as clothing.

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

No, no. I get it. I have a friend who feels the exact same way about clothes. I used to, but lately I like the fun t-shirts.

I may be totally wrong, but possibly when the shirt first came out they printed up a bunch in men and women's sizes, and the women's sizes took forever to sell. If they weren't as popular, they'd probably stop printing them once they were done. It could be lack of demand issue, rather than a "women don't use tools" issue. At least it's available in a very pretty print. I may want to puchase that when I get my new apartment, depending on what that looks like.

[lizziebith]

Ah well, perhaps I'll buy the men's for my honey, so that I can look at it! :D

Edit: The above would make a little more sense if I included the bit of information I forgot which is that I don't have much wall space for the pretty poster. I have too many tees anyway!:D

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I think the shirts are gorgeous! And I fully disagree with Alex's assessment - I think they took Gilliam's Python ideas and made them beautiful.

He didn't say he didn't like the designs, he said he didn't like them on t-shirts. I really only like a couple of them as t-shirts myself. Something about the size and positioning of the prints is turning me off. I definitely don't like the all-over print ones. I never do, for some reason completely beyond my comprehension, any t-shirt with an all-over print bugs. But yeah, as posters, they'd be awesome.

I can't resist pointing out, that you are wearing a shirt with an all over print in your avi. :p

[wendybeth]

Of course, my favorite is this one (http://www.imaginaryfoundation.com/index.php?pagemode=detail&type=Mens%20T&uid=C6B644).

:cool:

[Prudence]

Some people here might appreciate these shirts (http://xkcd.com/store/) more. Particularly the third one down (the green one).

[Alex]

I do find that one tempting even though I would only ever wear it when I really needed to do some laundry.

[lizziebith]

Those are great! I have tooooo many tees, though.
