An Inadequate List of Thanks
First, thank you Violet. Mi corazon, for being the light. For believing and making me believe. For helping me see and sing. For giving to me when you have so much already on your shoulders. I'm with you from here to the horizon and beyond through waters calm and wild. I love you.

To my parents and my brothers, for supporting me my entire life. For encouraging my creativity. For helping me with anything and everything without batting an eyelash. For all those countless little things that I can't name here, but I will always remember. Thank you.

To Aesop Rock, for kicking my imagination in the balls and frying my mind.

To all you amazing artists and bloggers in the Threadless community. To the Doomers & the Mish-Mashers, especially: Jared, Priscilla, Steve, Jan, Jeff, Jan, Julia, Josh, Chris, Dan, Ed, Ian, Olly, Paul, Warren, and Rachel. For a great weekend when I needed one, for challenging me with your talent and drive, for making me think that, just maybe, there are a lot more great people out there than I thought. And to everyone here that loved, hated, or was indifferent to my work but took the time too look, thank you all.

Thanks again to Jared, my (un)printed man-bro and miniscule meat partner (yeah, I typed that). To the Funkie-J for adopting me as an unprinted designer. To Maltzmania and KillYou for constantly bumping my designs. To iDanSimpson for wearing my In Gods' Image tee with pride and being the voice from the inside. And to Steve for kicking my tail in Mario Strikers and being a standup guy.

Finally, thank you Threadless staff. You guys made this site that let me meet all of these incredible people. For giving me an outlet for what I wanted to make. For going above and beyond in all facets of your company to really make us all feel welcome, I appreciate all your hard work immensely. And for rolling the dice on my work and printing me. Thank you all.


What Does This Design Mean Anyways?
I'm sorry to say that I only discuss what I intend on my work with the people I'm closest to. Part of being a designer is communicating ideas, and if it doesn't come through then I'm not doing my job.

You would have thought she was having that thing confiscated, rather than awarded to her.

"Congratulations!
Today is your day,
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

You have brains in your head (NERD!!).
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go."


..."OH!
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!

You'll be on your way up!
You'll be seeing great sites!
You'll join the high fliers!
who soar to high heights.

You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed.
You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you'll be best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest."


..."And when you're in a Slump,
you're not in for much fun.
Un-slumping yourself
is not easily done." (You can always count on me to push and pull you)


..."Oh, the places you'll go! There is fun to be done!
There are points to be scored. There are games to be won.
And the magical things you can do with that ball
will make you the winning-est winner of all.
Fame! You'll be famous as famous can be,
with the whole wide world watching you win on TV"
(I'll make you famous with my eagle eye, we'll be like Burton and Depp)

..."And will you succeed?
Yes! You will indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent garanteed!)

KID YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!

So...
be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
or Mordecai Ali Van Alenn O'Shea (or JOHN)
you're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So... get on your way!"

-Dr. Suess

Congrats!
