Gross Curious - Oddity Inquisitive - Unisex Long Sleeve Tee

“Disgust is just curiosity standing a little farther back.”

She found it under a flowerpot. It was damp, lumpy, and equipped with an unreasonable number of eyes. It blinked.

“Absolutely not,” she said, as she fetched the magnifying glass.

Up close, things did not improve. There were bumps. There were drips. One part of it appeared to be wiggling independently. “Oh, you are horrible,” she whispered. The little thing blinked again. She smiled.

Five minutes later, she had named him Walter.

You know you shouldn't look. Unfortunately, that has never been a particularly effective reason not to.

Gross Curious is for anyone who has ever discovered something strange, announced “ew,” and then immediately moved three inches closer.

Hold a magnifying glass over one spectacularly improper little creature: damp, drippy, magnificently lumpy, and blessed with far more eyes than good judgment would recommend.

The closer you look, the worse he gets. Which, naturally, makes him better.

Rendered in the detailed black-ink character of TWO WORDS, the illustration mixes old curiosity-cabinet elegance with the ridiculous delight of discovering something that is simultaneously revolting, fascinating and maybe a little bit adorable.

For rock flippers. Bug watchers. Jar keepers. Mushroom inspectors. Weird little thing admirers. And anyone who has ever said “don't touch it” while clearly considering touching it.

Because sometimes curiosity doesn't kill the cat. Sometimes it names the horrible little thing Walter.

Enrich your wardrobe with a versatile long sleeve tee. For a casual look, combine it with your favorite jeans, and layer it with a button-up shirt, a zip-up hoodie, or a snazzy jacket. Dress it up with formal trousers or chinos to achieve a more professional look.
