Nerd culture – borne out of a different perspective on the world, and a decidedly offbeat sense of humour.

05.

leet of Britain

Close-up

Only suitable for royalists; this one is just a really bad joke :) I was wondering for ages to what use I could put the spelling of “Windx0r”, and restraining myself from spelling it that way at work. Thanks to walumu for the font used in the design.

Sleep is overrated

This shirt is genuine: the original version (not shown) was indeed drawn in Photoshop on a Monday morning before work after 2.5 hours’s sleep. This is the revised design.
Also in white

0E.

SITI

Were this available to buy, you could use it to show your support for SITI. Something like “Intelligent life on planet Earth?” on the back would be nice.
Also in navy blue

0F.

SETI

Those who do indeed feel SITI to be not worthwhile should indeed be looking to SETI for signs of intelligent life
Also in black

Prepare the trout!

Close-up

Definitely one for the IRCers; those wanting a bit more impact need a LART. This is a quick, wonky hand-drawn sketch done at work, and I know that the fish is too small! (sheesh ;P) The blueness of the skin is where it was first drawn in blue biro of course.

Prepare the LART!

Close-up

The bigger cousin to the trout is the LART, the Luser Attitude Readjustment Tool. Lots of people need a lot more than a friendly fish slap, and for them you need a LART; I happen to be partial to mallets.

14.

Identity

Does this mean, “who am I?” or does this mean, “I am a mystery to you”? Only you can decide… This is one of my oldest ever AIM buddy icons.

17.

British eccentric

v1.2

A saying of mine, and an old favourite of silvestrij’s. Originally only in white, I thought that offering a bug yellow version is much more suitably eccentric.
Also in white

21.

Bed-can-wait Brigade

Close-up

For all those people who just have to stay up a bit longer to just finish off something. Oh, and something else needs doing too… The text is meant to resemble the romantic glow of a mercury vapour lamp.

24.

Spoon Menace

Protect yourself! From yourself …

25.

1447: Beyond Leet

Close-up

When you know you are better than better than the rest.

26.

1338: Beyond Leet

Close-up

Normally I would not assign separate serial numbers to variants, but I felt this version was subtly different enough to warrant individual display.

27.

Digital pirate’s parrot

Close-up

Parrot hand traced from Parrot Hotlinks (hedweb.com) as Photoshop paths; pirate traced from a photo of Cheezi Git. I went with the retro look (low resolution, low colour) which took a lot more work!
