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

leet of BritainClose-upOnly 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 overratedThis 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. |

SITIWere 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. |

SETIThose who do indeed feel SITI to be not worthwhile should indeed be looking to SETI for signs of intelligent life |

Prepare the trout!Close-upDefinitely 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-upThe 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. |

IdentityDoes 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. |

British eccentricv1.2A 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. |

Bed-can-wait BrigadeClose-upFor 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. |

Spoon MenaceProtect yourself! From yourself … |

1447: Beyond LeetClose-upWhen you know you are better than better than the rest. |

1338: Beyond LeetClose-upNormally I would not assign separate serial numbers to variants, but I felt this version was subtly different enough to warrant individual display. |

Digital pirate’s parrotClose-upParrot 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! |
