First Run-In with a Threadless Designer
This morning at a brunch, sitting at a table where at least three of us were sporting Threadless tees, I met my first Threadless designer. It went like this:
Him: "Hey, is that a Threadless shirt?"
Me: "Um... yeah."
Him: Takes large bite of quiche. Clears throat. "I won that contest once."
Me: "What?! Are you serious? Which shirt?"
Him: "Actually, I don't remember the title because I made it with another guy, and he named it. But it had this girl, with this brain..." Slurps hearty soup.
Me: "That's crazy! I've probably seen it!"
Him: Mumbles reply.
What made this so funny is that he's drinking wine with his breakfast, and his glasses are so strong that they magnify his eyeballs at least two times their normal size.

haha, I thought by "run in" you were implying a [physical] fight...

in which case this would have been the best blog ever.

I like the fact that he doesn't remember the name.

Hopefully some blogga will guess which design he's talking about.

You mean it's not ALREADY the best blog ever? He's drinking wine and eating quiche!

Don't remember the name of the shirt but I think I know the one he's referring to.

It's close.

I like quiche.
and everything now reminds me of the fact that I want to carve a damn pumpkin.

It's not worth carving unless you go to a patch. I feel the same way about Christmas trees.

But it only has one name down as the artist...
chlobo107
chlobo107 on Oct 21 '07 at 6:49pm
I thought it was that one too, and I went and checked it out, just like you Khol, and was very confused. Maybe the guy that named it stole all the credit!

Wow. I have Guilherme Marconi's site bookmarked and I never realised he'd made a Threadless shirt.

chlobo107 on Oct 21 '07 at 6:50pm
Oh Guilherme! How could you?
Khol
Khol on Oct 21 '07 at 6:52pm
...Or maybe the guy who you were talking to was lying. He didn't see very forthcoming and I don't understand how you don't know the name of a piece of artwork that you worked on. Even if you worked on it with someone else.

But maybe that's just me.

I can understand that. I forget what some of my earlies designs are called.

chlobo107 on Oct 21 '07 at 6:55pm
Yeah. But other than that conversation, he seemed very intelligent, and was bragging about how he has stolen 62,000 songs off iTunes. That just screams 'intelligence!' :-)

Are you from Brazil? cause that would kind of rule Guilherme out if your not.

No, Washington. Heh.

It's a mystery if I've ever seen one.
