a tee that a lot of people liked here but didn't win?

it's probably sacrilege to say that here, especially on new threadless tee day.

is it? if so, lemme know and i'll delete this asap.

if not, go check out the tee of the day! 5 more hours!!!!


it's not going to be on a gray this dark, btw.

what are your opinions of:
-his douchy hair
-his tiny baby-like teeth
-his already inflated self image
-the timetable/countdown to his breakdown/implosion

that said, i haven't heard a damn thing he's sung. i'm sure his voice is just as good as any 16 year old boy with some training and a voice filter...so the opinions i want to hear should be more about the branding of Bieber and the puppymill that is the teen music industry.
i've lived long enough to see how it destroys the very same people it builds, from the late seventies onward. we don't as often get the chance to see what it does to a boy though, this should be interesting.

and he had some doubles and i wanted some of them. and he was watching me like a hawk as i flipped through them.

most of all, i was surprised he didn't have them in archival plastic card sleeves....and just out in some box in the middle of the room.

and that's about all i remember.


]]> Tue, 30 Mar 2010 20:53:25 -0500 also, name me some of your favorite 80's movies you grew up on religiously, wearing out your vhs copies and memorizing all the lines and maybe i'll design one of these retro foreign style posters for it.
i'm thinking a foreign 'adventures in babysitting' one would be a hoot.




and of course they are now available in my imagekind store! :)]]> Wed, 17 Mar 2010 08:41:17 -0500
So after We've Got Some Work to do Now I said I wouldn't do any more pop joke tees here.
I'm especially timid to sub ANOTHER pac man gag tee here on the somewhat-heels of Madness of Mission Six...
but I couldn't get this idea out of my head. I think i'm done with it, though I may still work in some maze-like coral structures vaguely in the backdrop.


but as I said in the image description on my flickr profile, 'you'd be a fool to not try all your designs at Threadless first'...

Which is why I have decided that for every Joke tee, I will submit an 'art tee' at the same time. which means I won't sub this one until I sub a companion art tee design to post at around the same time.
I think this could be an interesting, if not maybe a little depressing- experiment on voter tastes (gag vs art for art's sake)- where I'm sure the art tees will suffer...but maybe they will start to creep into the voter's minds a bit more.

many of you don't have a problem with subbing art tees. I've often used Sonmi as a great example of knocking out cool colorful fine art designs fearlessly, and having luck with them. I wish I could do that. I've talked about it so much but haven't yet gotten the balls to drop a random art tee here and watch it potentially bomb or not be appreciated by the voters. But no more, with my new plan at least.

so I challenge my other threadless friends who have maybe relied on the surefire approach of clever gag tees or pop culture mash-ups to do this:
for every pop culture, joke or pun tee you sub, sub a 'art' tee with no heavy-handed, obvious meaning at the same time.

anybody with me? it may help wash the guilty ease of subbing pop joke tees, as well as start strengthening the chances for pure art and design tees.

i have reordered and will have more in stock in a week or so, orders beyond today will be 'preorders' for the stock i have being made and sent to me right now.

i designed these weatherproof (up to 7 years) vinyl SCI-FI raygun decals in parody of the jesus and darwin fish debate.
screw science, screw religion- the only thing that usually comes true is science fiction, IMO.



i have them in black and satin silver, they are roughly 3x5 inches. the black is best on autobodies that are red or lighter, and the silver is best on autobodies that are red or darker, as well as rear windows.



they are $5 each with free shipping anywhere in the US, and $6 internationally ($1 to cover shipping)

available at my etsy shop
HERE]]> Sat, 27 Feb 2010 08:34:29 -0600 big thanks to all who helped support the moving day fund with purchases of shirts and etsy goods, and generous donation....threadless friends are the best friends a shirt artist could have.

see you when i get there and unpacked- computer shutting down in 3....2....1....

]]> Wed, 24 Feb 2010 09:05:10 -0600 check it out
i can't believe i didn't realize the guidelines were still in that screen grab i took to show placement(there, not here below)...oh well, that will probably cost me a few points :/



i had subbed this here some time ago, i can't remember why it's not up under my subbed designs, i think i had them remove it so i could print it elsewhere...]]> Tue, 23 Feb 2010 19:28:52 -0600 they were extras that were folded in a drawer for posterity
