yeah, kinda. Animal T-shirts anyways! Spring is almost here (ok, it's not but it was about 60 degrees Fahrenheit yesterday, and spring fever will linger in the air until we manage to see daylight stretching out past 6 p.m. [hee hee, look at my A.P. style influenced typing]). Well, whether or not spring is here, spring fashion is. meaning, t-shirts. I've got a predilection for t-shirts (and long-sleeved shirts, when those can be found as well) with some variety of animal on them. It is not something I consciously set out to collect, but rather have managed to. I'm not sure how many I've got, but acquired this water-colory beauty today:
Say what you will about OLD NAVY and the fact it's Old Navy, but they always have some nice surprises, and every other season or so they seem to come out with some unique(ish) t-shirt lines. This is perhaps my favorite I've seen, or at least in some time. And there were also a bunch of watercolor painted-looking striped v-necks as well, which, with the amount of striped tops I have no doubt competing with the number of animal shirts I have, are also right up my alley.
Then, the strangest thing was wandering past the children's section and happening to notice CHARLEY HARPER kids t-shirts being sold. At Old Navy. Weird! I guess since the poor fellow passed away in 2007, the eh, "rights" to his prints and paintings are now up for grabs or something because I have noticed some merchandise around and about that I had not previously seen available. But moreso strange to see because I've got a few "homemade" Charley Harper t-shirts, and also did make one my little nephew a couple years ago as well. Whatever it is, it's a strange sight to see, and I feel protective of the Harper creatures! Hoping it doesn't become some "trend."
Ok, I have no idea where the hell I'm going with this (other than here are some silly things I like and that sort of make me excited for the Spring) and don't feel like continuing, so I shall just post below, two of the Harper prints I had chosen for my own t-shirtin'. Perhaps something of more substance to come, eventually.

Addendum: Oh yeah. The fact that BOTH wfmu 2009 marathon t-shirts feature animals on them is going to make it even harder for my broke ass to decide in what direction to place my pledge dollars:
okay, so CLEARLY the "WF, MU" shirt is the must-have (still making me grin.)
Though I must also give a general props to the awesomeness that is the WFMU t-shirt and the few of those I have managed to acquire as well.
