Brevity is the soul of wit. Sometimes? You’ve got to be brief and to the point with jokes on tees, otherwise you’ll get cut off. These tee shirts opted for humorous instances of welcomed humorous expression in the amble after evoking some laughs along the way. I love a good joke as much as the next person, and there’s something wonderful about a person who is alright with wearing a joke on their shirt. As if they don’t take themselves too seriously. That said, they’re also not doing the added step of temp checking the room to see how people feel about an unsolicited joke.

Meet the Writer

Matt has spent over the last 8 years as both a writer and editor, working in Seattle and Brooklyn, where he is now based. He loves escaping the tirelessly fast pace of the “Mad Apple” that is NYC by taking walks and runs through parks where he’s able to catch up on the latest tea about society from the city’s ever chatty, always hungry, occasionally maniacal, pigeons. They always have a lot to say. When he’s not taking his urban nature strolls, or dutifully combing the deepest rabbit holes of the internet to find the content that’s worth sinking your mind’s teeth into, he’s likely holed up at a dark-lit dive bar with a new book and/or some friends, or just as easily he could be on the hunt for the next addition to his steadily growing plant family.

These days Matt’s caught up in trying to provide folks as many vivid glimpses into the days long since passed as he can, through fun and engaging collections of hand-picked vintage photos.
