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 [...]
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 [...]

The Bearaffe This is my favorite shirt right now. I dig it because it is a mash up of my two previous favorites. The Giraffe and Splitting Bears. I wanted to make a stenciled shirt for new years eve, but like most things I put it off until the last minute. So, on Dec. 31st I [...]
