I'm going on a trip in just a few days! I'm heading to Thailand for about 5 weeks and then over to Australia for another 4. Then I head back home. And then I take a nap! (Hey if you live in either of those places, let's MEET UP!) It should be a lot of fun and I'm super excited. My plan is to just hang out for a while and live a bit differently than I'm used to living. cool plan? It's gonna be fun/hard trying to survive without my phone, computer, internet, .movs, .gifs, and all that other lovely stuff I enjoy.

So unfortunately, I wont be replying to many emails or blogging too much while I'm away, but if you need me I'll always be right here... *points to your heart* *points to your brain* *points to your shoes* cool shoes.

i'll miss you all!

(i get back to the states on the 21st of May)

If you'd like this shirt about travel, then all you have to do is photoshop yourself into a picture of a place you'd love to visit.

Mine...


Winner - Perfect Disguise...


you can also just tell me about your travel plans. Where are you going this year?

OSCAR nominees. I wanted to post a blog with all the nominees this year. These may not be the best quality videos out there and the longer two may not work properly, but at least you can share your thoughts on the ones that do work. DEATH is a theme in pretty much all of the shorts this year. Very interesting...

I'm interested in what others think before mentioning my favorites and OPPOSITE favorites. And if you know of any shorts that came out this year that you think should be in the running, let's see em!

Have you seen biker boyz?

Shit will make you sweat. Shit will make you cry. Movie of the year. Every year.

I wanted to post a little blog to thank everyone for the congratsies and all of your votes and support while this was in the running. I'm stoked it was printed on eggplant and a hoodie and a little kid shirt too! Can't wait to see it in person.

Here are a few images of my process. You can see how sloppy and horrible everything looks until it finally starts to come together in the end. Sometimes you just gotta push through those frustrating moments when it seems like nothing is working and keep at it. Ask for advice, take a break, come back to it later. Eventually, things will start to shape up and it will come out looking nice and sexy. Nicexy (my new word) Unless you think this is dumb and ugly. Which is fine, but then you shouldn't be in here anyway. Go on get outta here!



Thanks for all your help and support!!

New trend idea... it was created using an old physics test from high school along with doodles and notes taken from high school and college notebooks. If you're interested in reading my convoluted thoughts and lengthy description, please read on!




Now I don't think the new trend is replicating this exact shirt, but the idea and message behind it. The trend i'm hoping for is a surge of new designs inspired by things you wouldn't normally see on a shirt. Stuff that was made without the threadless competition or t-shirts in mind. Math homework, blueprints, essays, sheet music, poems, doodles, whatever you have that interests you. Make it your own and throw it on a shirt.

My idea to inspire a new trend was to inspire people to submit whatever the hell they wanted. The trend would be a new way of looking at print-worthy designs, without comparing it to the type of printed designs we've seen in the past. You shouldn't have to sit down at your desk or computer and consciously be creating something with threadless in mind. Dig around your old notes, journals, parent's photographs, and elementary school short stories for something unexpected. I wanted to try and focus on a new trend that would affect and inspire all girlies and boyos whether you're "designer" or not. I think there are too many people out there that are afraid to submit designs because they don't think of themselves as designers or artists and don't think their ideas are suitable for the "threadless demographic". Forget that, submit anything! Submit an old math test from school. Who cares if it's not meant to be on a shirt, it still might look sweet on one.

I know it may not be as simple as I make it out to be by simply "throwing some old worksheets on a blank t-shirt template" and calling it done, but I think that is where someone's real creativity can shine through. It's still a competition and you should still do your best to make whatever you are submitting your OWN design and unique in it's own right. That should never change, that's the challenge and that's the contest. The new trend should be focused on where people are finding their inspiration and source material for these designs.

I went about working on this design by first concentrating what I think a great new trend in threadless would be. After working on that for a while, I came up with some thoughts, wrote them down and from there I tried to design a shirt that was inspired by the trend I had envisioned. I wouldn't have ever subbed something like this to the normal competition, so maybe this new trend thing is already pushing me to think differently. Which is good right? Who knows... this is basically me just barfing out the convoluted thoughts and ideas that inspired me to work on this design because I had to get them out of my head somehow.

A close friend of mine, Matthew Kelly, was in a very serious accident. He was hit by a semi while riding his bike and has suffered serious injuries to the lower half of his body. Already having undergone multiple surgeries, Matt is still in bad shape and the real surgery has yet to come.

The pokemon have all been sold. Thanks for all your help! You guys rock! I'll leave the link up for those who would still like to donate. But thanks everyone, you have already done so much and I love you all. Threadless is full of love.

A link to directly donate to Matt and his family here if you're feeling generous.

here's a sub i've been working on! I like the purple color scheme the best, but thought people might also want more earthy toned colors. Any thoughts?

Also the other day I was in the park and almost stepped on a squirrel. He ran right through my legs. Like a dummy! What's with that?!
