IIt all started as a bit of a joke, really.  What do you get your old man for his birthday when he already has everything he needs and insists he doesn't need anything else?

Thus began the short-lived family tradition in which I handpainted an exciting new design onto a plain t-shirt for my Dad every year.  Of course, with limited artistic abilties or original thoughts, I very quickly ran out of ideas for new and exciting designs.  That was the year that, armed with a bucket of fabric dye and a fist full of rubber bands, I created an accidental masterpiece.  THIS IS A T-SHIRT, poorly stenciled onto an garishly tie-dyed shirt somehow became an attention-grabbing item of anti-fashion regalia.  

People were stopping Dad in the streets, asking him where he got his jazzy THIS IS A T-SHIRT t-shirt.  And even when the design was replicated in a more professional manner, sans tie-dye, people still appreciated the bold statement logo declaring his t-shirt IS A T-SHIRT.  

And now I have created this little online store so that I can freely order T-SHIRT t-shirts for ALL my friends and family.  

Anyone else who loves to state the obvious is also welcome here too.
