This cute little snail doesn’t care that he moves slowly. He’s letting everyone know that being slower is just right for him! If somebody is moving slowly – literally or metaphorically – please remember that it’s probably not by their choice. Many people have invisible problems, things you can’t see, that slow them down. Pain, [...]

If somebody is moving slowly – literally or metaphorically – please remember that it’s probably not by their choice. Many people have invisible problems, things you can’t see, that slow them down.

What the sticker says is most definitely true – some of us move slower than others. And some of us move a lot slower. And it’s not fun to be the one forced to go slow, especially when the public isn’t accommodating of slowness. If somebody is moving slowly in front of you, please remember [...]

This is what a person with an invisible disability looks like … exactly like anybody else. Wear this shirt when you’re sick of getting abuse for using your disabled parking permit. Whip it out to grab a much-needed seat on public transport without the nasty looks. Give it to all your friends to wear, so [...]

The word ‘sick’ can mean manay things, and I find that leaving the precise meaning open to speculation can sometimes be … rather interesting.

Sometimes we just don’t feel as “gung ho” and “out there” as the slogans on some of these shirts. I decided I wanted to design some “more gentle” slogans for those days that people needed some TLC and this was my first try.

If you, too, have to deal with the minute-to-minute pain of Fibromyalgia, with all of its joyous symptoms, then YOU would want the phrase Fibro Sucks across your front and/or back too!
