Today is Ada Lovelace Day; a celebration of women and technology. I have to say the first person I thought of when I heard about this day is LadyAda. Maybe it is because of the namesake, but probably because LadyAda is featured a bunch on my favorite blog, Make: Lady Ada is a tinkerer, inventor, [...]

So, I was on a making shirt kick and I wanted to do a big animal stencil. My power animal is obviously a large brown bear, so I found a picture that made a good silhouette and turned into a large stencil. So large in fact that it took up two pages of standard letter [...]

Hookah Hanger

I was visiting some friends and they were talking about how they desperately needed a coat hanger. They always had people coming over and had no where to put coats. Usually they were just tossed across the back of the couch. I decided that I would find some old materials and make a coat hanger [...]

One of the only shirts that I’ve done that has a completely original design or isn’t modeled after something else. I’m not sure if there was reason for making this shirt or not. But I made it and I’m glad that I did. I’m extremely happy with the way it turned out. The design is [...]

From 10/2007 to 08/2008, I play Legend of Five Rings CCG. The game is super awesome and I’d still be playing, but the person I played with the most moved. Anyway, one of the best facets of the game is the community and story that is tied in with everything else. Every deck was from [...]

Schizopolis is my favorite movie. When I say that this is the most important motion picture you will ever attend my motivation is not financial gain but a firm belief that the delicate fabric that holds all of us together will be ripped apart unless every man, woman and child in this country sees this [...]

Neat :: Shirt

This is one of the very fist shirts I designed. In actuality, it is less of a design and more of an experiment. It was craft night and therefore time to make something. I had this hoodie, so I decided to make something… neat. It has been mistaken to say “HEAT”, but that is just [...]

Megaman II is one of the best NES games of all time and no one can argue against the awesomeness of the man that is Megaman. So, making a shirt to show off my love is obvious. This design has 4 colors and 3 layers; making it the hardest shirt I’ve ever put together. I [...]

In the summer of 08, I decided it was time to update my wardrobe. Therefore, I need to make a bunch of new stencils and new shirts. I’m not sure what lead to animal prints, but I love having the siloutte of friendly creatures on my shirts. The green giraffe instantly became my favorite along [...]
