Proud Papa of a Baconbot

I thought of it, Cloud drew it, Kurt printed it and Mer photographed it. I am the proud papa of a BaconBot t-shirt with a heaping helping of gorgeous silver ink.

Roomba Drivers and Kitty Pilots

November 19th, 2008

Have you seen the Roomba driver cat video yet? Odds are good you have, because I keep getting emails and Tweets about it!

That is undeniably cute, but Roger the Cat rode a Roomba first- in parallax and with goggles!

I wish my cats had skills beyond sitting on beams and tripping me. More Wonderful World of Kittens DVDs are on the way, BTW. We sold out of the first case and have another coming!

Christmas, Portraits, Bacon

November 14th, 2008

Apologies for the minimal blogging and slowness with pixel portraits lately, some utterly immovable Christmas related deadlines have kicked my ass recently! I’ve got five new shirts and tote bags lined up for next week. I’m optimistic again lately and hope these designs reflect it.

Response to the kitten DVDs has been amazing! I’m ordering up another case. So darn cute.

You can preview two of next week’s shirts by clicking on through. One is a rebuild of a classic DS music shirt, the other a collaboration with Mr. Cloud.

Now I.T. Can Be Told

November 13th, 2008

An email and a Tweet this morning have confirmed that my “Music I Used to Like” elitism diagram shirt *should* appear on the I.T. Crowd on UK Channel 4 this fall.

There’s apparently a trailer/teaser running and it shows up on Roy. I don’t have a link to any online video yet, but damned if I am not a happy boy.

My fatwa against the UK is temporarily suspended! Once I see the episode, I may even forgive England for being so mean to New England during the Revolutionary War.

((The I.T. Crowd, Mad Men and 30 Rock are the only shows I watch regularly since the end of Arrested Development and Deadwood and all three kick my ass every episode. ))

The Wonderful World of Kittens

November 11th, 2008

I love kittens. I loves ‘em so much that when I saw this DVD, I had to purchase an entire CASE of them so that I might share them with all you lovely kitten fans. $15 gets you 45 minutes of uninterrupted KITTEN ACTION and two free pixel kitty buttons.

Clicky clicky the Diesel Sweeties Kittens and Yarn Super-Store.

Also new in the shop today: Tinker the True Love Turtle on womens AA shirts, Monkeys are Good People on black t-shirts and tote bags! All in stock this week and linked up on the New Stuff! page.

OBAMASFERATU: Or Bram Stoker’s Barackula

November 11th, 2008

I saw this Bush/Obama photo today and couldn’t help but also see DRACULA.

Indie Rock the Vote

November 3rd, 2008

Whatever side you’re on, Indie Rock Pete is against it. I used this title back in 2004, tonight seemed like a fine day to use it again.

I wanted the gooniest face possible on the cover of Clango’s pamphlet, so I did it myself! Forgive the lighting, I live in a cave.

Carbon Nanotube Jesus Genius

November 3rd, 2008

Because I am a genius, somehow the blue Jesus Helps Me Trick People and Carbon Dating shirts didn’t make it over to the new store until this weekend. I’ve added a science t-shirts page in a misguided attempt to make up for this.

“We Are Not All Jerks” and grey Robot Evolution shirts are on clearance for $13.99! I’m hoping America won’t need the former soon and I’m discontinuing that color on the latter.

Girls Dressed Like David Bowie…

October 29th, 2008

…needs to be a new internet fad. I think Two Girls One Cup owes us something sexy. Ten internet points if you can identify each DS character and which iteration of Bowie she is dressed as in this comic.
