RGB Glasses

RGB Glasses at Red Bubble

Would the sort of image you look at with a pair (triple?) of these glasses be a hyper-anaglyph? And have the folks at Magic-Eye thought about how to make an autostereogram1 for a three-eyed person? Well… probably not. But sometimes you wonder.

1 Check out the animated autostereogram on that page. It’s crazy.

Fantastic Bonanza News: Wanted a ROFLCon shirt (designed by us Bonanziers) but couldn’t make it to the con? You can still snag one—as well as one of the swell ROFLCon lunchboxes—at the ROFLCon Online Store!

Spinning a Sale

New To Us

  • Caustic Material: “funny, smart and offensive.” “Apparel without apologies.” Monocled socialites sipping tea need not apply.
  • Made Up Clothing: “unique” and “cool designer” shirts from the UK. Their Mobility Scooter certainly caught me off guard.
  • Crooked Monkey: text-based designs discussing sex, parties, and going green.
  • iliveutopia: a shop from Florian Baumgartner whose main site navigation is overwhelmingly cumbersome. I suggest going straight to the perfectly navigable online shop.
  • DARE: designs boast a limited run of 59 pieces each. Consider also buying one of DARE’s many books or postcards.
  • Wooshka: stare at their latest contest winners, Retro Skull and Bunches.
  • Faveur Clothing: an indie Christian shop with several new designs for guys ‘n’ gals.
  • Nümph: profits derived from one of their new designs, which features bears, will be donated to the WSPA, but I’m having trouble actually finding it for sale online.

Yay for May at Linty Fresh

Two shirts for May at Linty Fresh: The Dotted Line and Mack Hated Mondays. Here’s a glimpse of the latter:

Mack Hated Mondays
Mack Hated Mondays at Linty Fresh

What with the dinosaur, UFO invasion, and burny car wreckage right outside the diner window, things do not appear to be going to well for Mack. But is he doooooomed? You’ll have to read the (rather involved) shirt description on Linty Fresh to find out what’s really going on.

As far as Mondays are concerned, I’m afraid I have to disagree with Mack (and Garfield) on this one. I don’t really mind them that much. It’s Sundays that really get to me—Sunday afternoon especially, a time referred to by Douglas Adams and Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged as “the long dark tea-time of the soul”.

And while we’re on the subject of Douglas Adams… I hate to be nitpicky, but isn’t Thursday the standard day for scheduled alien demolitions?;-)

The price, for the first time: $20

La Suave Singe de Sapapaya

IT’S A MONKEY ON A SKATEBOARD


Baboon (Bleu) at Sapapaya: €25.00

IT THINKS IT’S NOT A CRIMINAL

Okay, okay. I couldn’t resist. This grand work comes to us via Sapapaya, a French community t-shirt design competition website printing on American Apparel and Hemp Valley tees. A bit pricey for us Americans and our asphyxiating, drowning dollar, but really now, who can resist the charm of a skater baboon?

No one.

The People’s Condiment NEW! & ON SALE! at Fantastic Bonanza

What could be better than Lenin holding a bottle of his own brand of ketchup, Leninz? This design was inspired by the redness (what a qualisign!) of ketchup, because, you know, redCommunism… it all makes sense! I swear. But seriously: this design has some cool details that you can only see in this detail image. You’ll be able to see them when it’s printed, too, of course.
NB: This design will undergo some very minor and probably unnoticeable (unless you have some sort of ‘photographic memory’) changes before going to print.


MUSTARD – NO! NEW! & ON SALE! at Fantastic Bonanza

Obviously Lenin’s Soviet Union wouldn’t be able to tolerate the use of a capitalist condiment such as mustard! No, sir. Which is why we somehow traveled through time or something to bring you this message: ГОРЧИЦА – НЕТ! (Psst, that means ‘MUSTARD – NO!’ in Russian! Trick all your friends into believing that you know Russian by wearing this shirt!) The People are depending on you to spread this anti-mustard, pro-ketchup message, comrade.


Fancy Mustachio NEW! & ON SALE! at Fantastic Bonanza

If you’ve been reading this here blog, you’ve probably already seen Fancy Mustachio. But you probably didn’t know that it will for sure be getting printed with two specialty inks: suede ink for fuzziness and metallic ink for shininess. You can’t go wrong with this multimedia smorgasbord of sensation! Seriously, you can’t. It’s going to be amazingly sweet and I can’t wait to wear mine and rub the fuzzy suede ink kind of creepily in public.
Please visit the Fancy Mustachio page for placement mockups of the design!

Expensiveness: $20 while on pre-sale, use coupon code friend for 15% off!
Should you hurry: pre-sale ends June 1st, but coupon lasts indefinitely!

P.S. Don’t forget that all three of these designs are available in men’s S-XXL and women’s S-XL!
