Why restrict what you wear to what’s on the shelf? Bespoke clothing is no new phenomenon, but in a world dominated by fashion, it can be hard to wear something individual. Personalised t-shirts provide an outlet for your creative flair, and are a great way of letting yourself be heard. Whether you choose a witty slogan, a particularly poignant image, or just a meaningless picture, the choice and flexibility is something you deserve.
A little bit about Adhesion Clothing as shared by founder Hunter Franks:
In physics, adhesion is the tendency of certain dissimilar molecules to cling together due to attractive forces. My aesthetic takes seemingly different concepts and fuses them together to breed a new meaning that provokes thought from the viewer. This sparked the platform that Adhesion Clothing was formed upon: to revolutionize meaning, ignite thought, and inspire creativity. Adhesion strives to create unique and attractive apparel that creates a narrative and stands out in a crowd.

If you’re a fan of Tim Burton, you’re probably aware that he likes to draw. Certain sketches stay with him, and provide the genesis of ideas that he explores in detail in his films and other work.
When Burton first drew his iconic character Edward Scissorhands, he had sharper instruments than those seen in the movie, but the emotional thrust remained the same; here was a person who wanted an emotional connection and wanted to be touched, but couldn’t actually be touched because of the sharpness of the instruments — isn’t this a brilliant metaphor for an inability to form close relationships?
You won’t find many t shirts that work on as many levels as this one. It is a beautiful piece of art, an intricate technical illustration and a potent symbol of the central idea in the story of Edward Scissorhands. This is movie geek chic at its very best!

Do you remember my post about Pete Wentz’s “POWER” T-Shirt Design Challenge hosted by MASSCanvas? Five winning designs have been announced for sale. After receiving hundreds of design submissions and votes, 5 tees were selected the top 5 tees that best represented the theme of “power.” Only 605 of each design will be made, please don’t ask me where the number come from — that’s my question too. Each tee is uniquely hand-numbered though so make sure you tell me your number once you buy one. $5 of every shirt goes to Invisible Children.

Here’s what I thought about caffeine: it may be the best drug of the Internet Age – cheap, legal, and available absolutely everywhere. While it’s strong enough to make you work in the morning, it’s also stimulate brain cells in the hippocampus are stimulated to increase calcium concentration (according to a new study in Japan). For those who complain for fatigue, exhaustion, stress, and insomnia, caffeine-power appears a near perfect antidote when it’s activated.
