Day 227



I recently came across quirky product and gift retailer Ohh Deer whilst engaged in my usual bumbling around Facebook. After a good look through the humorous T-shirt designs on offer on their website, I couldn't resist but to whisk over a cheeky email to the creative people at Ohh Deer to see what they made of my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge.

Turns out they loved it.

It's now a few days later and I am wearing the first of their donated tees - a camel coloured lightweight article that appeals to cat lovers.

Usually, a cat flap is positioned with its lowest square edge parallel to the ground for ease of access, but if you really want to wind up your panther, try cutting one out at a 45 degree angle and sized roughly the same proportions as its head, making it super difficult for Bagira to come and go as he pleases.
Forever condemned to his geometric prison, this kitty bears his teeth at the viewer, longing to get out and play with mice on threads, shred up the lower portions of armchairs and cram himself into unthinkably small crevices behind furniture like the other cats.

This design is yet another example of the aesthetic fusion between natural matter and hard edged lines/shapes that's been triumphed as quite the trend this summer, and I'm very pleased to have it feature in my challenge.

THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE Project

Hi, I’m Andi Best and I’m a regular guy, rising to an irregular challenge.

People tell me I have a lot of T-shirts. These people are not wrong, it’s true, I do.

But one person went as far as to tell me I have so many T-shirts, I could probably wear a different one every day. This is obviously not true, but it got me thinking - what if I could wear a different T-shirt every day? What if I never wore the same T-shirt twice for an entire year?

Challenge accepted

I have created project THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE which, beginning January 1st 2013, will track my pro gress sourcing and wearing a different T-shirt every day for the next 365 days – and I’m going to need your help to do it…
