OMUNKY are a happy-go-lucky t-shirt brand offering up a unique line in super cute environmentally themed apparel, they’ve both a strong in-house graphic style and all their tees are printed on 100% Organic-cotton or Recycled-cotton and 5% of all profits go to WildAid. OMUNKY is a one man brand, everything from the design to print to completion of orders (promptly mind you) is handled by Rick Waters, a man with a passion for the environment and a savvy mind who understands exactly how the public can and do suffer from “eco fatigue”. However much you might think you care about good causes it’s fair to say that from time-to-time you’ll get a little tired of being kept “on message”, after all it may be the end of the world, but if we all slump in a heap now and get depressed about it it won’t do much good. (Actually that might help if we did – at least we’d use less oil and gas.)

Rick wants to inject a little humour back into the environmental fold, his bright and colourful graphics definitely help to keep things in perspective. After all, asides the doom and gloom, the planet’s worth saving because it’s a great place to be, even on the most selfish level that makes sense, I know we’re not masters of the universe, or even a piddling solar system, but if we were we’d realise just how much fun it is to live on a planet with such diversity of wildlife, animals, birds, and yes, even people.The Earth is still a fun place to be, even now with all the devastation we have collectively caused, there is still a massive variety of wildlife, beautiful and exciting mountains, oceans, forests, you name it, OMUNKY wants to celebrate that fact, and their enthusiasm is infectious. So next time you harp on at someone about saving the planet, wear one of these before blasting off another eco lecture, or at the very least, do it with a smile!

Spots & Shades Tee

This is the latest tee design from OMUNKY and definitely one of the best, Rick really puts himself under pressure to keep producing a new shirt concept every month, I think he’s being a little hard on himself. I’d stick to collections, and I’d definitely focus on large friendly graphic shirts like this one. It really stands out at the store, then again a giraffe wearing shades wouldn’t exactly blend in with the background wherever he was. This should be a hit with the kids too, I I was Rick I’d be looking for licensing and distribution for work like this. Superb organic tees available in a wide range of sizes for men, women and kids at a competitive of $22 each. 5% of every sale goes to WildAid.

Tiger Turmoil Tee

This is definitely my fave shirt at OMUNKY, I don’t normally succumb to cute, but this one is the bee’s knees, or in this case tiger’s nose. Almost like a still from an old Disney toon, there’s something incredibly nostalgic about the Tiger Turmoil t-shirt. Maybe it’s the subtle range of hues, or the way the tiger’s face peers out from the dark. Superb organic tees available in a wide range of sizes for men, women and kids at a competitive of $22 each. 5% of every sale goes to WildAid.

I’d love to see a lot more “comic character” shirts like these two at OMUNKY in the future, they really could catch on in a big way. Keep up to date with all the latest eco-friendly shirts at www.omunky.com!
