Well, it seems that the No-See-Monkey artist is also a pretty big sports fan! For this week's tee he decided to combine his favourite sport with everyone's favourite steam-powered diminutive simians and a healthy dose of global warming conspiracy and magnetic pole shifting to boot!
Speaking of boots, we've been promised even more No-See-Monkey tees in the next few weeks, so stay tuned to find out what's in store!]]>

Well, this is another one of those tees that really has no deep explanation!
This tee is by the same artist that did the "Night Shift Cat" in our "Old School Vampire" series, who seems to have made some sort of odd connection between felines and vampires. When I questioned this connection, he just told me that I needed to watch an old movie called "Bell, Book and Candle
" and watch for a cat named "Pyewacket"!

This twist on Greek Mythology* is one of those designs that just popped into my head one evening. The original saying was "There Are Better Ways to Get Stoned", but we decided that it was too verbose and eventually settled on the much more succinct "Get Stoned".
*For anyone out of the loop, Medusa, Stheno, and Euryale are monsters from classic Greek Myth called "Gorgons". It is said that looking directly into the gaze of a Gorgon would turn a person instantly to stone. Medusa, the only mortal Gorgon, was slain by the hero Perseus with the help of a mirrored shield that helped him avoid her deadly gaze.

I had been thinking about doing a tee based on the song "One Toke Over the Line" by one-hit wonders Brewer & Shipley for a while, but couldn't come up with a really clever idea. Well, "couldn't" until one of our artists delivered this crazy smoking monkey picture and I knew instantly that it would make a perfect "One Toke Over the Line" tee!

Of all the designs we have created, I believe that this is the single most important message that we would like to impart.
If nothing else in our society, we must to come to the consensus that leaving anything, whether it be a person or an animal to suffer, is fundamentally wrong.
This could not be more true when there's a relatively inexpensive and effective option available, but which is denied to many for completely muddy reasons.
Why should people be forced to become criminals just to ease their suffering? It's like saying "Yes, well, there is some evidence that Buddhism can ease suffering, but we don't have enough clinical research to allow people to practice meditation, so we're making it illegal".
Please, Say It Phree and spread the word about this vital topic! Maybe if enough people get the message we can finally make a change in our society for the better!]]>

This was the original design that put us on the path to creating Say It Phree Tees.
It reflects the hypocrisy of legalizing dangerous substances, such as alcohol, while having a prohibition on the much less harmless (and natural) substances, i.e. Cannabis.
At some people our governments just have to get off of their puritanical high-horses and realize that sometimes people are capable of making adult decisions for themselves. Heck, you'd think that the tax money they would be able to generation alone would be enough to convince them.
Personally I blame lobbying from industries that are threatened by Hemp and Cannabis, like big oil, pulp and paper, cotton and (what is probably the worst culprit) pharmaceuticals.
Anyhow, enough ranting, this tee speaks for itself with over 70 terms for Cannabis!]]>

I used to love the old stickers that we'd get as kids that were based on pun jokes about various consumer products. So it wasn't a surprise when the "What Would _____ Do?" artist won a spot in our collective with this design based off an old pack of Zig-Zag rolling papers.
