We've been meaning to post this for about a week, but things have just been so busy around here!!

Please welcome Dustin Hostetler to the team!

You may recognize Dustin as the proprietor of Faesthetic Magazine, the amazing black & white illustration annual. You may also recognize his work, as he has one of the most recognizable illustration styles around. He'll be working remotely with us from his home in Toledo, OH where he lives with his lovely (and insanely talented) wife Jemma - who, believe it or not - is the designer of our very first tee ever!

Dustin will now be handling our Select line, as well as some other amazing new Threadless projects that we'll let you know about soon enough!

WooHoo! Welcome aboard buckaroo!

Nice one. Seems like Threadless, like every other job in the world, is about who you know.

Anyway - welcome Mr Hostetler. Please check out my blog on designers that people would like to see chosen for Selects. I'm sure you have plenty of ideas yourself, but feel free to browse through the choices of some Threadlessers.

Monkey III - I don't think it's weird or funny that his wife designed the first T, I imagine it's part of the reason he got the job.

guys, dustin was hired because of all of his hard work he's put into faesthetic and his uncanny ability to bring amazing artists together.

we've known both jemma and dustin for years, since the days of dreamless when i met jacob, the co-founder of threadless. while it's a huge bonus that his wife is incredibly talented and has a history with threadless, she wasn't the reason we hired him :)

skaw - why do you feel the need to defend yourself against my baseless and inconsequential accusation?

I'm a fucking moron - just so you know to ignore pretty much anything I say in future.

author: 13strong

Fair enough.

Truth is, though, that people get jobs through connections (esp., as far as I know, in the design world). It's the same pretty much everywhere. And in this case it's obviously not a negative thing - Dustin's an asset to Threadless BECAUSE of his connections in the design world.

That's the way it works.

author: skaw
date: on Jul 18, 2007

Yep, absolutely - I'd say networking is definitely the best way to get work.

It is indeed. Sucks though.
