Day 211



Two of the world's most recent fixations fused together in a single oversized T-shirt graphic - that's what I'm rocking for Day 211 of my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge.
This T-shirt is an amazing FOURTH donation from music-wear wholesaler Bravado sent by Suzie to get me through an otherwise mundane Tuesday.
The 'Keep Calm And (insert comedy here)' poster format has been doing the rounds on the Internet for some time now (taking on some very cataclysmic guises I might add) and has even broken through to the real world, adorning itself to mugs, aprons, T-shirts and the like...
Moreover, I'm sure the Gangnam Style phenomenon needs no introduction.

Thanks to Bravado, I'm now experiencing the two in perfect harmony.

Well, 'perfect harmony' is a pretty inadequate term. Thinking about it, this design mashup from Bravado demonstrates quite an unlikely pairing; a juxtaposition of contrasting energies - how can one possibly keep calm whilst executing the Gangnam Style? Have you seen that thing? The last thing I'd resort to doing having just spilt my tea across my keyboard is leap up on the desk and gallop around like a jockey while a troupe of ludicrously dressed dancers and scantily clad women mimic my actions. Sure, it would be pretty entertaining for all involved, but it wouldn't get my keyboard any drier.

This is the first donation from Bravado that doesn't feature one their officially shot or sourced high-impact photographs, but no one could argue that this graphic design option is any less impactful.

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…
