Sometimes when I’m alone I cover myself in Vaseline and pretend I’m a slug.

Vaseline slug

A weird kawaii slug shirt.

“Sometimes when I’m alone I cover myself in Vaseline and pretend I’m a slug.”

A friend would randomly say this. The statement is bizarre and very WTF. Sounds like it fits right in here at Kawaii Shirt Shop! We do, after all, celebrate the weird. And it’s not every day that I get to draw a happy slug with a scandalized tub of Vaseline. This shirt is perfect for those days when you’re in a non-sequitur mood.

Kawaii Llamas – My Happy Place

kawaii llama

A kawaii llama shirt that’s loaded with these sublime creatures!

Picture yourself in a long line at the store, with only one register open. Or being nagged by your boss/parent/significant other. Or finding yourself in front of someone going on and on about their political views. You really need to escape. You take a deep breath and close your eyes. An image of a pasture materializes in your mind, with rolling hills, wide sky, and… llamas. Llamas, llamas everywhere! You are in your Happy Place.

This shirt, with its cheerful colors and snarky message – “Excuse me while I visit my Happy Place” – is for those situations when you want to tune out. Or if you love llamas!

Kawaii Llamas T-shirts These Llamas Happy Place T-shirts and hoodies are available at our online store.

Rogue Panda on Rampage

Rogue Panda on Rampage

A kawaii panda shirt: Rogue Panda on Rampage! This design was inspired by an incident in Flagstaff, Arizona a few months ago, when a roadside electronic sign was hacked. Instead of a traffic message telling drivers not to turn left at an upcoming intersection, the sign was changed to read, “Rogue Panda on Rampage.” The Flagstaff Police Department’s statement was hilarious: “We want to assure all citizens of Flagstaff that there is no problem with rogue pandas.”

For this shirt, I wanted to draw a panda that was trying – unsuccessfully – to look threatening. I think that even on a rampage, a panda would look cute!

You may have noticed that along with the T-shirts and hoodies, we also sell “Panda Jerseys.” What’s a Panda Jersey, you might ask? It’s very similar to a baseball jersey, but unlike an ordinary jersey, the Panda Jersey has a panda tail printed on the back. With its panda tail and black raglan sleeves, the Panda Jersey will transform you into a panda*! See the pics below (click to zoom in).

Rogue Panda on Rampage T-shirts Note that our Rogue Panda T-shirts and hoodies don’t have the panda tail that the jerseys do. They’re still super kawaii though! The Rogue Panda on Rampage shirts are available at our online store.
