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!

Facebook + T-Shirts = Awesome!

I Heart T-Shirts Facebook Page

I Heart T-Shirts is the new Facebook page everybody’s talking about! It’s taking the world by storm! It’s revolutionizing the internet! And it mows your lawn, and it picks up the kids from school. It gets rid of unwanted facial hair; it gets rid of embarrassing age spots. It delivers a pizza and it lengthens, and it strengthens, and it finds that slipper that’s been at large under the chaise lounge for several weeks!

So maybe I’ve been hyperbolizing… a little bit. But I kid you not, I Heart T-Shirts is a pretty slick Facebook page! It’s got what you’d expect, like lists of online t-shirt stores and t-shirt blogs. But these lists look really nice and include the favicons from the respective sites, so it’s pretty!

It also makes good use of Facebook’s multimedia features, and there’s still room to utilize these features more thoroughly. Right now there are only two videos, and no pictures, but this could be a good venue for t-shirt shops to display their wares. They’ll probably have to be carefully moderated, though, to prevent spamming. Maybe a rule like 1 image/week 1 movie/month could help? Cory, who made the page, has also been uploading t-shirt news to the ‘Posted Items’ section of the page, which provides a nice snapshot view of three news items, replete with thumbnail images.

But wait, there’s more! I Heart T-Shirts is going to have weekly giveaways! To kick things off, one random fan will win a $25 Threadless gift certificate on Sunday, May 11. So become a fan of I Heart T-Shirts today for your chance to win! Don’t delay. Or else.

P.S. Fantastic Bonanza has a Facebook page, too!

Fantastic Bonanza vs. Fox 25 Boston

Check it out, Fox 25 interviewed me at ROFLCon and then put the interview up on their website! The camera dude was asking me about the shirt I was wearing, AVE Mizar.

Too bad when I mention ‘Fantastic Bonanza’ has gotten cut from it… but whatever. Check out the speech bubble from Ji Lee’s Bubble Project in the background!

‘We have talks. We just brainstorm things.’ Yesssss…
