I don’t know much about horses. But even I know you don’t do dumb crap like this guy. I bet he won’t do this again…

Today’s shirt is a great design, with a great name. Tattie Bogle and The Corbies had me wondering what in the world those words were. I did a little digging, and they are Scottish expressions for scarecrows and crows/ravens.

The design definitely has a fall/Halloween feel to it. At first glance, it reminded me of the horror movie “Jeepers Creepers”. However, upon closer inspection, I’m not quite sure if the Tattie Bogle looks rather charming. The Corbies also are friendly in appearance.

Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds”, the artist explains the design thusly:
“This design is a little bit of All Hallows Eve and Swabian-Alemannic carnival. It is a wild flapping scarechoir, roused by a raggedy conductor.”

During this time of year, with ghosties, ghouls, and creepy-crawlies, the talk inevitably comes to Zombies. And when you talk Zombies, there’s never really just one or two- there’s gonna be a whole bunch when the Zombie Apocalypse happens.
And when the it does, I would think you’ll see warnings like this:
And to further prepare you, today’s Shirt of the Day is “In Case of Zombies“.
Not only is it a garment to keep you warm and make you stylish, it’s also very useful. It lists 9 suggestions to keep you among the living in case you come in contact with zombies. These are all nicely illustrated in the design, with accompanying numbers to correlate to each suggestion. Very handy.

My favorite is #5: “Show no mercy. She’s not your mother anymore.” Very funny. But true. It may look like dear ol’ mom, but she’ll eat yo brain if you give her a chance!

Part charming, and part macabre, Hello, My Darling is all awesome!
I love a shirt that tells a story, and this one definitely has something going on. We’re not sure if this um……couple, has been together while they were living, and now they’re just reunited. Or, possibly, the Zombie Ghoul was the cause of the woman’s current condition.
I love the bright blue of the gentleman, and the expression of his face and eye looks more forlorn and wistful than mean and menacing.
And then there’s the surprise on the back. BAM!
yeah, gotta love some headless corpse and zombie romance….
Happy Halloween, y’all…

Continuing with my October / Fall theme of SOTD’s this month, I wanted to bring you a shirt.woot classic. Cool Breeze is one of the most sought-after shirts from woot.
Printed way back in September of 2007, it sold out in a staggering 18 minutes. It still holds the record for fastest sellout, as well as being one of the biggest sellers at shirt.woot.
The appeal is obvious, with the fall colors of brown, yellow, and orange. I also love the charming notion of a tree with musical notes as leaves, and the bar of “cool” music (must be jazz music) blowing the notes onto the ground.

I don’t have many brown shirts, but this one is just perfect for the fall season.

I love October.
With today being the first day of October, the most-fun month of the year, I figure I would start a series of October-related designs for SOTD’s. (That stands for Shirt Of The Day’s, if you haven’t been following along…)
For my first October design, I’ll bring you Scareperson, by the incomparable Drakxxx (Joel Rose). This design comes from their recent “Harvest” – themed derby. I can only imagine what this creepy dude harvests!
His designs are always amazing, and shows a great deal of detail, superb line work, and usually subject matter that leans towards the creepy or macabre. Perfect for this time of year!

see close up? click.
If you don’t know how w00t! works, ya gotta hustle. The good shirts don’t stay around long. So if you like this, you’d better get over there and buy it fast.
It’s spoooookable!!!
this be me. yeah, I know my sleeve is wopperjawwed...
