here's my alumni summer sequel design. it's a sequel to There's No Crying In Breakfast. hope you like :)



step-by-step:

warning, this is a random useless blog.

i went out to dinner tonight with my family and AGAIN people thought i was a high school student. i'm 30, i'm old, but i still get carded and asked either when i'm graduating from high school or which college i'm attending. i guess i should be flattered, but it's still awkward.

the end.

here's something for those who feel like they got gypped coming in here expecting something interesting.

hooray it's finally up!!




thanks two-stache randal for modeling :)


i'm also tinkering with a summery design... whaddya think?

If you know me, then you'd know I'm a big sleepy head. I can sleep just about any where, any time -- I'm a champion napper. So when I was asked to design a select, I wanted to design something that I felt truly passionate about: sleeping.

So, if you guessed that the kid in the design is me, you get a gold star. Cheers to all my napper and dreamer friends!

I want to give a big THANK YOU to Dustin, Ross, and the hard workers at both Threadless and the printers for making this design come to fruition. There were some bumps in the road -- collar print, color limits, back print, etc. -- but in the end, the shirt looks great, and I thank you all. And WOW! at a kids select!

scary!

i noticed people putting up progress photos of their derby car, so i thought i'd share mine :) some of you may have seen these on my flickr a while back.

this is my first time hand curving. i got permission from hogboy to dub my car Mr. Choppy Jr.

Mr Choppy Jr with wheels





----------------------------
welp, there you have it... Mr. Choppy Jr. i stuck on the wheels and shipped it to HQ already. don't expect it to fly down the racetracks cuz i didn't do any aerodynamics or wind tunnel testing. heck, i don't even know how much it weighs! i had fun making it though.

...up at threadless.

they're all are up for voting now








i think i'll take a break now -- catch up on my sleep and movies. anyone have any movie recommendations? i got I AM LEGEND and ENCHANTED and some other movie i forget from netflix right now.

TWO seems to be the number for me today. Today is my 2nd Threadless anniversary, two designs came out today,... erm...I still have two arms, two legs, two eyes, two nostrils, TWO TWO!

I want to thank Threadless for everything. Threadless has been awfully nice to me and I just can't thank them enough. Everyone at Threadless -- from Jake to the packing crew in the warehouse, heck! even the printers -- THANK YOU!

I also want to thank the Threadless community. I've met so many artisitc, creative, and crazy people/friends here. You guys have become like my second family. Not one day goes by without me checking the blogs or talking to one of you guys. So, thank you guys for being my friends :)

Love,
Phil

hooray! it's voting time!

***********************
i went ahead and subbed it. thanks you guys! :)




***********************
i haven't posted anything here in a while, so i'll post something that i started working on today.

not sure if i want to sub this as a shirt, cuz i don't know how many people would actually want to wear a shirt with a big pigeon on it. but it was good practice.

MOAR PIGEONS!



Carrier Pigeon:

Wow! What a morning.

I'd like to thank everyone on the blogs and all the people at Threadless. I never expected my presentations to win anything--they were just fun little projects.

A big "thank you" to Randy and all my models for helping me out with taking awesome photos to use in my presentations.

THANKS AGAIN!
