5 out of 5 starsI absolutely love this shirt! Sad frog is so incredibly clever and I can't tell you how much I relate to this very, very, sad, sad frog. The shirt is nice and soft and fits well and I would recommend this artist and his products to everyone.

Owner, Maker, Designer, Artist
I am an artist with a passion for creating beautiful, creative, bizarre and original artwork and items. My T-shirts are unique because they feature my own artwork, often things you wouldn't expect to see on a shirt.

Is there anything she loves more than rolling up artistic T-shirts and shipping them around the world? Probably a few things, but she's still really good at it and is happy to answer your questions.

Frequently asked questions
Do your shirts run true to size?
They are "fashion tees", which are higher quality (and cost us more!) than an average tee. Overall the men's shirts run true to size unless you are used to older-style shirts that are beefier and bigger. It's best to refer to the size charts shown in the photos or description of each shirt listing. The women's shirts are form fitting and do run quite small. If in doubt, measure a shirt that you know fits and compare it to the size chart.
Can you print a custom design for me? I want one shirt with a robot throwing pineapples at a narwhal.
Our focus is on the original art of artist and shop owner Michael Phipps. Custom designs take a very long time to prepare and print, so printing a single shirt or small run with a special design is very expensive and not practical. Your best bet is to find a local print shop with a DTG (direct to garment) printer, which is best suited for this type of work.
Who prints your designs?
We do! The art is all original and is screen printed right here in our shop! We take the DIY aesthetic to the extreme.
Where do you get your cool designs?
I draw all the art that we sell on T-shirts. Everything in Scatterbrain Tees is unique to our store!
What if I never receive my item?
We work with customers for up to 90 days to look into orders that haven't arrived by the expected date.
