Medicated Clothing, ummm… some kind of prescription joke

by Andy on August 13, 2008

in Mens, T-shirts, Text/Typography, Womens


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.

Back To School sale at Electric Zombie

 Back To School sale at Electric Zombie

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.

Yes No Maybe might send a severed finger in your next order

yes no maybe womens ransom t shirt black on heather grey front 360x360 Yes No Maybe might send a severed finger in your next order

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.

Paris Hilton wearing a Paris Hilton t-shirt

Paris Hilton wearing a t-shirt with her own face on it.... astounding

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.

Tolerance by PTnK

13.08.2008

PTnK stands for “Peace, Tolerance, ‘n Kindness”, which I must admit put me off this brand a little bit, the name’s a bit flowery for me, but I guess that when you’re a company trying to put a positive message out there then it needs to be in your name too. I really admire people [...]

The King Is Dead! Long Live the King!

13.08.2008

Bristol-based Lhome have released a new design, and its a bit of a departure from what they’ve done in the past. Its good to see Kieran attempting new things with his designs, especially when the designs come out looking good! The oversized print works really well, and I think that keeping it as a [...]
