Valentine’s Day is coming, so I designed some romantic tees to put everyone in the mood for lovin’.

If you’re a robot (or if you’re like me and love robots) you’ll probably like this Robot Romance tee:

If you like your tees to be artistic and educational, here’s one that teaches you how to write LOVE in braille.

Finally, if you prefer lust to love (and who can blame you, lust is fun) you might appreciate the Weapon of Mass Seduction tee:

All you heart breakers and love birds will get 10% off on any orders before Valentine’s Day if you use coupon code BEMINE10

Ex-Boyfriend is kind of a collaborative label, I want to draw silly stuff like dinosaurs double fisting 40s, my girlfriend tries to get me to draw things other people like.  As a result I’ve started a one for me, one for you approach to my designs. I do one illustration that few people are likely to find as amusing as I do, and one that everyone else is likely to appreciate more. My most recent take on this aesthetic is this guy:

It’s what I believe would happen if the cover art from Death Cab for Cutie’s Transatlanticism had a love child with the cover art from the Wye Oak Album. I know you probably don’t really see it, but that’s okay, I wasn’t trying to actually copy the cover art, just the aesthetic.
