I know what you’re thinking, these tees are pretty normal looking, nothing special, not really worthy of blogging, right?

Well, Mister (or Missus) Know-it-all, prepare to eat humble pie, because these tees are heat sensitive. As the temperature rises the cloud begins to fade away and the sun appears, which is not only a really cool use of heat sensitive ink, but also a great way to illustrate the point behind this design.

You know when its winter and the days are really short and it starts to get you down? A more extreme version of that is Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.), which is what this tee is very cleverly highlighting. As the weather gets sunnier and hotter, your tee is hotter, and therefore gets sunnier, and you’re happier, sooo cool!

There’s another design that has a cloud on it which brings up the message “the sun is nature’s prozac” which is technically just as impressive, but I don’t think it has quite the same impact.

Neither are for sale, unfortunately, I think they’re just part of a designer’s portfolio. [via Kottke]

*The designers website seemed to disappear as I was writing about the tees, so those links probably won’t work, unless there’s just a temporary issue.

I don’t actually think that its possible to buy this raincoat, it seems like more of an art piece to me (in the context of the artists other pieces), but I really like the idea.Check out a small bio at Culture Push [via The Trendy Girl which I got to through Notcot]

I think that the thing I find funniest about this shirt is that it looks as if its been printed into a womens t-shirt, it seems more like something a guy would wear, in defense of his love of cigars. Well, that, and the artist “split [her] pajama trousers stooping down to paint this, right across the ass. Freudian?”

The tee obviously isn’t for sale, but I liked the image, and one-offs are what these ‘Flickr Finds’ posts are meant to be all about. ABCme (the designer) is also quite the artist, so check out her photostream for more of that, and lots of pictures of cats. Oh internet, why are you so full of cats?
