The push and pull of know what is happening and keeping up with day-to-day life is altogether too much, and I know we are all feeling it.
The eurasian wigeon (a bird I had never heard of before!) is bird 16 for @birbfest.challenge At first I really wasn't sure how I was going to represent all the lovely patterns in the feathers, and then I just decided to go for it with little hash marks. I'm pleased with how it came out :)
Don't mind me over here trying to process the horrors of the world while still keeping afloat ... and also maybe dissociating a wee bit #emotionalbirds
Soft, casual, and quietly sardonic — this lightweight cotton tee carries a little duckling of dark humor tucked into a dreamy, star-speckled print. The front artwork shows a contemplative duck against a painterly night-sky background with the text that gently admits: “Don’t mind me over here trying to process the horrors of the world while still keeping afloat — & also maybe dissociating a wee bit.” It reads like a private inside joke for people who use dry wit and gentle self-preservation to get through messy days. Wear it layered under a cozy cardigan or alone with jeans when you need something that looks relaxed but says exactly how you’re feeling without having to explain it. The shirt’s soft hand and clean crew neckline keep the mood low-key and wearable every day.
This tee belongs to anyone who leans into candid humor and quiet coping: introspective friends, late-night chatters, artful introverts, and anyone who appreciates a little absurdity threaded through sincerity. Let it be the shirt you reach for on slow mornings, at small gatherings where sarcasm is currency, or when you want to signal: I’m here, managing, and laughing about it.
Design notes: the print’s painterly texture and starry accents pair well with muted tones — try it with worn denim or a neutral jacket. The statement reads like a comforting aside; it lands with warmth rather than shock, making it easy to wear around people who get your vibe.
