capri0mniAnd this time, I'm actually doing stuff about it, not just thinking about it. At the moment, I'm working on adapting this image into something suitable for a mug:
Description: a cartoon image of rabbits -- two normal, with nine "monster, hybrid" rabbits and one rabbit-shaped cloud above a quote attributed to John Steinbeck: "Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen."
I'm doing it in two halves -- and plan making both "right-handed" and "left-handed" versions -- so that the normal rabbits would face outward, and the "Crack!fic" bunnies would be staring down the drinker. So I'm rearranging the image to be split horizontally instead of vertically.
I also found this old photo of my mother as a little girl, and it cracks me up, because that outfit is so antithetical to her personality, it's like a meeting of matter and anti-matter, and you can see it in her face:
Description: Old black and white photo of a little girl in a white dress with embroidered bodice, peter-pan collar and puff sleeves. Her dark hair has been curled and parted in the middle. She is fidgeting with her dress and pouting.
I want to give it the caption: "All dressed up... And I don't wanna go!" ... How wrong would it be to put that on a CafePress design for sale?
BTW, I'm thinking of staying away from t-shirts and focusing on mugs, for the most part. Most people I know have a surfeit of shirts, and there aren't many places, honestly, where it's appropriate to wear decorated shirts in public -- not at the workplace, anyway. But the social rules for coffee mugs seem a little bit more lax, as long as they're not rude or crude. And that's not my style anyway.
... Am I right about that, btw?

Date: 2011-01-26 06:52 am (UTC)Hee! One tee-shirt that my mother actually had, as an adult, read: "Shameless agitator."
Another that she didn't own, but read on someone else, and laughed out loud at was: "The meek shall inherit the Earth... The rest of us shall climb to the stars."
So I think she might chuckle at your caption.
