or if you're developing one, how often do you get the urge to fix something that irks you so much? Posters, billboards, typography, a layout, a graphic, colors that contrast or clash too much, bad coding, etc.?

Also, do you just stare at something because it appeals to you design-wise? I'll stare at a shirt with an amazing pattern/design and see if I can remember and recreate it in my own way digitally. Of course, I forget and I can't recreate it but I'll just stare and get weird looks.

Nice shirt, I like artistic graphic shirts, I used to have a slew of shirts that had catchy phrases but then I graduated high school, and realized those were never cool...
Aw, what do you mean? I graduated and I still think artistic shirts are cool. Well, the ones on threadless are really good.

lol! I mean Shirts with Catchy Phrases, Those were never cool! Things like "Your mom is on my myspace" or "I see your lips moving, but all I hear are blah blah blah"..or "The Wheel is still spinning but the hamsters dead" those were never that cool..

I love Graphics Shirts, I am currently in the process of creating my own shirt, I have the graphic, basically because its so huge I have to sew the shirt myself, so thats what I'm doing. Here is the design,



Note: The clothing line 11Even is something I came up with and its spelling out numbers but for the first letters putting the actual number, for example:

1ne
6ix
11even
20enty.


Ahh crazy ramblings, and btw Mona...THAT IS SO COOL your name is Mona Lisa.
