Anybody up for playing some Nintendo Entertainment System?

Anybody actually still have a working NES?

KEEP POSTING YOUR FAVORITE GAMES, I'm always looking for one I've never played.

My review : AWESOME! A birthday present to myself. Tons of artwork close-ups from the original 232 stickers from series 1-7. A nice detail is that the dust jacket is made from the wax package material, just like the 1970's originals. Check out the images below, of the front and back cover with an image of the classic piece of gum. Plus it comes with 4 unreleased bonus cards! Happy birthday to me...May 30th, nudge, nudge...

On sale for $13.57 ( weird number ) marked down from $19.95
Available here:

The CRAZE ONE. - GARBAGE PAIL KID parody sticker card is featured in the current issue of NON-SPORT UPDATE MAGAZINE. Available directly from their site

Here is the FRONT, hand numbered BACK, and the envelope your order will come in. Each one decorated with a 4 color design that took 12 stamp imprints to create, then signed and dated...whew. Plus each card comes in a protective plastic sleeve!

Love the card!

Hey everyone! After a month+ break from Threadless and other things to work on my shop, which is set to open April 4th!?! Stop by and say Hi.

I am a huge fan of trading cards from the 60s, 70s & 80s, and this is in a way a tribute to what the artists back then went through to print the wax packaging to wrap the cards in. DON'T EAT THE GUM!!!

Due to a file size restriction on the voting page I am posting a higher image quality version of my sub here. A lower file size can often mean lower image quality, and this is a time where it came to just that.

2 Designs in 1!!!

This T-shirt includes a THREADLESS SECRET WINDOW VIEWFINDER. By purchasing this shirt, you have your game piece to win 1 of 5 Threadless gift certificate worth $100 each. Who knows, that extra shirt you bought for your friend just might be another winner. Inside the collar, mixed in with the title and care instructions, is a space you set the view finder over. If yours reads YOU WIN!, proof of ownership to that shirt will be redeemable for a Threadless gift certificate worth $100. As long as the 5 are out there it is possible to win multiple times.

I will donate $500 to fund all 5 winning messages.

With all of the little print requirements I felt it best to be on a white shirt as some printing techniques require a fine mesh. Created using 7 mediums, simulated process would be required.

I have many combined ideas behind this idea, but didn't want to limit the meaning with an explanation. I want to leave it entirely up to interpretation. Feel free to leave a comment with yours.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and check out my design. I hope yo have as much fun with this contest as I had creating this design!

2.53. I am really happy with that score! Thank you everyone who voted and commented.


Drawn entirely using a ball point pen, without the use of a predrawn sketch or an eraser. My intent was to create a design with the idea, like history, that cannot be erased.

Entering the history of music in the era of cavemen, and taking a trip through notable periods and regions influential to modern day music. Detouring through a few obscure instruments and fantasy ideas, the time line ends with the limitless possibilities of wireless.

UPDATE: 1/28/2008 - COLOR OPTIONS

These imagse are enlarged quite a bit, so the actual drawing is about 70% the size.

UPDATE 1/10/08: SITE SNEAK PEAK of an artist bio:



Hypothetically, if there was a new shirt of the month club from a humble, non competing, small town company, shipping in February that involves a ton of great artists, month after month, would you have any interest?

If it happened to involve limited edition exclusive art by Glennz, Sonmi, Travis Pitts, Ray Frenden, Mike Laughead, Jared Stumpenhorst, Lupencia, Spacesick, Notorious Lightning, Mikko Terva...and even the Hellraiser, Clive Barker himself!

Hypothetically speaking that is...

My goal is 100 memberships to get it going, send me an email if you have any interest: CLICK one ( dot ) year ( at ) crazeone ( dot ) com

NOTE: I want to add that I am in no way trying to undermine Threadless. This company and site has become a big part of my life, and I plan to continue to sub my favorite designs, buy countless shirts, and be part of the Threadless community till the end of time. The people that make up the Threadless staff have been more than generous printing me, and by posting this blog, I am just one individual with an idea, interested in organizing a project with fellow designers.

Q: Cassiepaige on Jan 04 '08 at 11:00pm
Can I have an approximate date when you will start taking orders and stop for the first shirt?

A: adamwhite on Jan 07 '08 at 11:32am
The membership page should be up by January 14th, and enrollment will start almost immediately. There is a slight possibility that the first shirt will ship March 15th instead of February 15th, due to the printing schedule.

I will be sending out a mailer soon, so send me an email if you haven't already, and I will get you the up to date info as things progress.

UPDATE 12/30/07: Using American Apparel and including stickers, membership cards, and other fun stuff, a one year membership looks to be around $200 within the US. I am still working out international prices.

Q: Daniel San on Dec 31 '07 at 10:41am
200 smackers!?! Jerez. Pity us poor peeps.

A: adamwhite on Dec 31 '07 at 11:38am
Daniel San, sorry, but after the intial cost of the shirt, then printing 4+ colors, a second location, and shipping expenses, not to mention web hosting and the overhead of storage and employees, it just breaks even for this cost.

Q: chelly on Dec 31 '07 at 11:45am
Can we start ours at whatever date (for example, after tax returns) or do we miss the boat once this starts?

A: adamwhite on Dec 31 '07 at 12:29pm
Chelly, you can start any time. For example if you start on the 3rd month from the beginning you would received shirt 3 through 14. Unfortunately it is set up so the membership has to start two weeks prior to that months shipping date so I can print the exact number for that month. ...but there is still time to adjust the structure, we'll see. Email me if you haven't already, and I will put you on the list for updated info. Good question.

A part of me kind of wants to know what each of the designs for the year will look like if they're already planned out.

A: adamwhite on Jan 02 '08 at 12:17pm
All designs for the first year will be posted prior to the printing, but will be produced in random order.

Inspired by a night of packing for a long trip, and owning small suitcases. I spent an evening cramming and folding clothes in ways this generation or the next has never seen. The sun rose, delirious, and without discern the zipper finally closed. With a long night behind me and even a longer day ahead, I had visions of the Kremlin, and a catchy little loop began to ring in my head. The plane was leaving in an hour and on the back of my mornings to-do list, using my knee as a table, I drew the first version of 'I HATE PACKING'.

Thanks a ton to everyone who voted and left comments, and to Threadless for the print! I think this is the first unSelect print to be over 5 colors...?

Original pencil sketch:

UPDATED VERSION - (12/26/07 ): Still working on this... Thinking about making some changes because none of it looks right to me anymore. Any ideas are welcome.


UPDATED VERSION - (12/13/07 ): Here is the last pencil sketch before inking. My invented back story will come with the sub.

UPDATE 1/30/2008: Tonight on the new episode with the expanding 'shaving cream in the car' segment, Kari is seen wearing the VENOM shirt while emptying the oil and gas from the car!
