When life gives you lemons...

This T-shirt is the most popular in my shop. I think people like it because of its message. Everyone knows what it is about even though it's not necessarily obvious. Initially I was going to paint a jug of lemonade either on the back or under the lemons but I figured, open ended statements are a lot more fun. Then I googled the phrase and found a lot of funny alternatives, such as:

When life gives you lemons sell them on ebay


When life gives you lemons alter their DNA and make super lemons!!!


When life gives you lemons, ask for the receipt


Let me know if you know any funny ones.

My work

So this is what I do in my free time. I hand paint T-shirts. I don't use patterns and I don't usually plan my designs ahead. I just grab a T-shirt and I use it as a canvas. Hope you like the outcome.
