My Reality is Still in Gesso
Some people have their lives painted in vivid detail. You’re still priming the canvas and wondering whether you bought the right supplies for being a person.
Our My Reality is Still in Gesso tee features a doorway surrounded by colorful paint splashes and the confession every unfinished masterpiece deserves. Gesso prepares a canvas for painting—so technically, you’re in the preparation stage. Please stop asking about the grand reveal.
Perfect for painters, creative procrastinators, and anyone whose five-year plan currently consists of letting the first coat dry. You have a vision. It changes daily, requires more supplies, and is absolutely unavailable for constructive criticism.
Wear it to art classes, studio sessions, or family gatherings where “What are you doing with your life?” apparently counts as conversation. “Preparing the surface, Susan. Some of us care about quality.”
It also makes an excellent gift for that artistic friend with twelve blank canvases, forty-seven ideas, and a shopping cart full of solutions to problems they haven’t painted yet.
Other people have their act together. You have excellent coverage and a promising base layer. Let’s respect the process.
Add to cart. Your life can remain a work in progress. Your outfit can be finished today.
SnarkySarks. Primed for greatness. No estimated completion date.
The "You Actually Look Good" Fabric
We might be outwardly cynical, but we secretly care about your comfort. These classic unisex jersey short sleeve tees fit like a well-loved favorite. Crafted from 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton (specifically the Bella Canvas 3001), the fabric is incredibly lightweight at 4.2 oz/yd² (142 g/m²), remarkably breathable, and easy to layer. It’s perfect for both active wear and aggressively participating in leisure wear. If you want to get technical about our fabric blends:
Ash and Heather Prism colors: 99% cotton, 1% polyester.
Athletic Heather and Black Heather: 90% cotton, 10% polyester.
Heather and Solid Blend colors: 52% cotton, 48% polyester.
Engineered to Survive Your Apathy
We built these to last through all your introverted hobbies and anti-hustle weekends.
Shape Retention: The ribbed knit collar features a seam to make it highly elastic and help it retain its shape.
Structural Support: Dual side seams are located along the sides to hold the garment's shape longer.
Anti-Stretch Tech: Twill shoulder tape covers the shoulder seams to stabilize the back of the garment and prevent stretching.
Flattering Cut: The shoulders are tapered for a better fit over time.
Versatile Style: The retail fit and neat crew neckline make it perfect for casual settings, semi-formal obligations, or effortless accessorizing.
Prints that Do the Talking
Our soft cotton and exceptional print quality ensure you'll fall in love with these shirts over and over again. To make sure your sarcasm is highly legible, sleeve prints and neck labels are produced using Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing technology. This applies to products fulfilled by print providers like OPT OnDemand and Shirt Monkey, ensuring crisp, detailed designs. Alternatively, providers like TextilDruck and Stoked on Printing use Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing for their labels to deliver vibrant colors and a smooth finish.

We might be annoyed by most people, but we don't hate the planet or the workers making our clothes.
