Please welcome Dustin Hostetler (UPSO) to the skinnyCorp/Threadless team!

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.

My goal is to be in Faesthetic Magazine next year!!!!

FRICKINAWESOME on Jul 18 '07 at 9:13am

I knew about this a while back because i invented the internet and communicating with others through written symbols.

d3d on Jul 18 '07 at 9:19am

man, working remotely for threadless, what a sweet deal. congrats.

13strong on Jul 18 '07 at 9:20am

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.

upso on Jul 18 '07 at 9:22am

thank yooooou thank yooooou

sgrunt on Jul 18 '07 at 9:34am

welcome, now: go working!

Monkey III on Jul 18 '07 at 9:38am

Well I think it's funny cause it came to full circle again!
*let's hold hands and spin around*

stickymike on Jul 18 '07 at 9:40am

WHOO UPSO Rules!

Ste7en on Jul 18 '07 at 9:41am

your avatar/ that design at the top is really great by the way

skaw on Jul 18 '07 at 9:51am

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 :)

lunchboxbrain on Jul 18 '07 at 10:08am

kudos upso!

mindtrance on Jul 18 '07 at 10:09am

heh that's awesome. I go to Toledo to work all the time, I live in Port Clinton dude.

mindtrance on Jul 18 '07 at 10:10am

ps. - I remember reading about threadless and Dustin via k10k.net back in 2001.

mindtrance on Jul 18 '07 at 10:14am

PRINT THIS NOW! :P

Skipper6745 on Jul 18 '07 at 10:19am

Awesome choice, guys!

13strong on Jul 18 '07 at 10:19am

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.

skaw on Jul 18 '07 at 10:20am

haha just wanted to make it clear for everyone else!

angelito on Jul 18 '07 at 10:22am

hellooooooooo :)

Edword on Jul 18 '07 at 10:23am

wow that is awesome. I luv your work Dustin!

13strong on Jul 18 '07 at 10:24am

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.

skaw on Jul 18 '07 at 10:25am

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

13strong on Jul 18 '07 at 10:26am

It is indeed. Sucks though.

Edword on Jul 18 '07 at 10:27am

I have a couple issues of Faesthetic and the great!

by the way I order one awhile (like a year) and never got it, I totally forgot about it till I saw this post. hahahaha.......

ladykat on Jul 18 '07 at 10:27am

Awesome... welcome!

phones on Jul 18 '07 at 10:28am

Prepare for fight is the second best tshirt i've ever bought!

welcome!

Vindemiatrix on Jul 18 '07 at 10:30am

Networking is how I got my job! I received a text message from a guy I'd volunteered with saying "hey, this job is open, want to apply for it?"

jess4002 on Jul 18 '07 at 11:45am
