BIG snow flakes! It's fun outside. It won't last and they won't stick to the ground for sure. I miss seeing snow like this. If I had a pic I would post it.

Also please check out my design:

Spanx for dudes? T-shirt promises instant six-pack
MSNBC Article



Quote from the article:
"The first clues that you’re in for something different are the instructions on the box. Those would be instructions for how to put on, and take off, a T-shirt. (“How to put shirt on: Pull on all the way to your underarm, then pull over your head.”) Men have celebrated the T-shirt for generations, from the brilliance of Brando to the hipster uniforms of Threadless, and now we’re being told that we’ve been doing it wrong? You almost have to admire the chutzpah."

Great looking print. Congrats!

Baby Vans? (Kids Tee Proposal) 2 Rows of 4 Down Vans.


What do you think? Would this work? Would you buy it for your kid? Are the right vans on it? I tried to keep the vans kid friendly, so no horror movies and nothing too out there on the theme like the Top Gun van.

Discuss.

Can someone take me a few store front photos this week while my design is for sale at the Threadless retail stores in Chicago? I'd love to see a full store front photo with the sign and window. Then a shot of my shirt in the window (if it is actually in the window).

I would be willing to send you an It Would Be Cooler as a Van post card for your troubles.


PLEASE. Thanks.



PS. I love that Craig is Rockin my shirt in the Product Photo. Thanks man you are the greatest. :D

Remember Boinks?


I got my first Boink Toy at a Candy and Toy convention that my Mom took me to when I was really young. She worked for a candy company that was showing at the event.

What other retro random toys do you remember growing up with?
