Smiling is Exhausting Work. Shirt Teacher Tee

HOW IT'S MADE: This is an original Slow Sunday Tees design. We came up with the idea and wording, created the artwork with the help of AI tools under our own creative direction, then edited, typeset and finalized it ourselves. Each shirt is printed to order in the USA by our production partner, Printify.
