ABOUT US
In 1907 a wee little man named Dick Tayder had a vision of one day being able to sell silly and sarcastic T-Shirts to people all over the world through electronic communications. 
At the time, his ideas were dismissed as idiotic at best and psychotic at worst. Nevertheless, this wee little man struggled throughout his life to fulfill his T-Shirt selling destiny. He was a man ahead of his time. However, he was the subject of much scorn and because of this constant ridicule, he was known as a wild party man and often found himself passed out down by the docks with no idea how he got there.
Dick Tayder at his best.
Now, some 120 years later, CoolFunnyShirts.com is a thriving Internet firm. “It took a long time, but we’re finally seeing Dick Tayder’s dream come true,” said company VIP Bea Schidt, granddaughter of Mr. Tayder. “I think if my grandpappy could see what we’ve become he would be fit to be tied.”
CoolFunnyShirts.com brings together the design expertise of Allumiere Design Studios and the production and distribution capabilities of Cafepress.com, an online print on demand company. With hundreds of designs and thousands of products, the selection is mind boggling.
Allumiere Design Studio’s graphic artists toil away in a dank windowless basement day and night. They are single-mindedly determined to crank out the funniest, raunchiest, dumbest, and silliest phrases and pictures for everyone to wear. CoolFunnyShirts.com and Allumiere Design Studio are headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, midway between the high tech center of the universe of Silicon Valley and the Napa Valley wine country (which means we act like geeks by day and drunks by night).
A few words from our founder:
I’d like to thank everyone for their encouraging words over the past many years as we’ve tried to build something really good. I appreciate your attention and your money. Please buy more stuff since we really need more sales. I think it was Ben Franklin that said, “A man should not measure his wealth in gold alone. He should be judged on how many bottles of beer are on the wall in his house.” Or, maybe it was Winston Churchill. Anyway, I hope you all have at least 99 bottles of beer on your wall. Good luck with the rest of your life and thank you for your business. Never before have you seen such incredibly hilarious goods.
