5 out of 5 starsI have a few ties from Scatterbrain, and am sad that they are moving to shirts only - they made some great ties. The Octopus pattern tie is perfect - the material is high quality for tying, and the pattern is distinctive and elegant. And octopuses! Octopuses are just the best, and more things should include them.

An old self portrait in oils.
Art is meant to be seen... and worn.
What greater canvas than a portable one? I love the idea of wearable art, and have always loved wearing artistic and creative ties and T-shirts. The idea to create some of my own was too exciting to resist, but T-shirt presses and other equipment can cost hundreds or even thousands. So in the spirit of true DIY projects, I built my own set-up (with the help of a like-minded, creative friend). Before long, apocalyptic accordions, pretentious frogs, dapper foxes and octopuses ended up on shirts and became Scatterbrain Tees.
Somewhere along the way I thought it would be great to add ties to the mix, so I created Scatterbrain Ties. It's a different kind of canvas, so it's a new challenge, but people are happy to find ties that are actually fun to wear.

I am an artist with a passion for creating beautiful, bizarre, creative and original artwork and items. My neckties are unique because they feature my own artwork, usually things you wouldn't expect to see on a tie.

Is there anything she loves more than rolling up artistic neckties 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.
