I’m sure that there are plenty of terrible jokes I could make about a company called Medicated Clothing, but I’m afraid I can’t think of any… I’ve lost my bad joke mojo!
Medicated Clothing is the brainchild of a children’s book illustrator who has a thing for irony and surrealism, something which you’ll notice runs through the tees on the site. The designs from Meidcated Clothing can be broadly put into three categories, illustrative (pictured above), slogan, and photo. For me, the illustrative tees are far better than the slogan and photo efforts. Even though the slogans are original, and the photos certainly live up to their promise of being surreal, I don’t really think that they fit with the rest of the site, especially since the illustrations are really strong and work well as t-shirts.
*Update: It’s been brought to my attention that the designs I wasn’t giving much love were launch designs and don’t really reflect where the company is headed, so I’d guess that those designs will be phased out at some point, so buy ‘em if you like ‘em.

I think if I’d turned up at school wearing any of the shirts from Electric Zombie I’d have probably been told to go home and get changed, but maybe your principal/headmaster is more embracing of great tees than mine were. If that’s the case, then whip your credit card out (or, if you’re at school, your parent’s credit card), because Electric Zombie are running a big back to school sale. There’s decent savings to be had on almost everything, and whilst quite a few sizes are out of stock at the moment they will be restocking everything (except the $5 tees) in the next few days. The sale will last for another couple of weeks.

Its amazing that a t-shirt with a ransom message on it like this…
BRING TEN THOUSAND POUND IN CASH TO VAUXHALL BRIDGE ON THE TWENTY SEVENTH OF JULY AT THREE PM OR YOU WILL NEVER SEE YOUR SON AGAIN.
… could have been designed by Gideon Conn, a man described on Yes No Maybe’s site as “a lovely chap.” I really like this design, I imagine that its one of those tees that you actually get quite uncomfortable wearing because everyone is always staring at your chest reading it, unless you’re this guys, of course.

The last post was clearly far too positive and classy, so I thought I’d better bring things down a notch with a post about Paris Hilton. It takes a very special person to wear a t-shirt with their own face on it.*
*I own a tee with my face on it (a birthday present), but I’m not nearly narcissistic enough to post a picture of myself wearing it.
