Another New T-shirt Design
Posted by Troy | Filed under Fashion

What’s up with all-over-print, overcomplicated design and zombies?
It seems to be the only thing available from Design by Humans…
This design is my attempt to add some simplicity to the mix…
Came up with the flying wolf-tiger when I realized that absurd ideas seem to do well there… and “flying wolf-tiger” was the first thing that came out of my mouth.
So there you go.
If you could take a few minutes to vote for my shirt, I’d really appreciate it.

Handmade Baby Cardigan and Other New Items
Posted by Troy | Filed under Fashion
I think this Baby Cardigan from Buckets of Moonbeams is really super-fantastic.
I keep trying to get my wife to raise her prices, but she thinks anything she creates should be affordable to anyone… not just the super-rich.
(we define super-rich as anyone with a regular salary)
I think that is quite honorable.
She’s been working like mad on custom orders lately, so new items in the shop have been delayed until now. If you’re interested in a custom order (like a sold shop item or color variation) you can contact Noël via her Etsy shop.
All her new items are super-cool, beautiful and well-constructed.
Check them out today before they are gone!

In the Year 2000
Posted by Troy | Filed under Fashion
Remember when the world ended?
Everyone stock-piled cans of beans and Bibles in their crawlspace?
I don’t really remember that New Year’s Eve…
Did I flinch the moment that ball dropped? Run to check the computer to see if the interweb still existed?
Honestly, I probably went to bed early (as was my sad New Year’s tradition)
Part of me wonders if we’d be better off now if Y2K had actually been the catastrophe some originally hypothesized.
Regardless…. what started out as a concept for a hand-lettered shirt design turned into a modern letters/shapes experiment that is somewhat of a departure from my typical style but turned out pretty unique…
and a representation of both what might have been and what actually was.
(if you can’t see it… it’s a Y, 2, and K centered and stacked on top of each other… cool experiment)
Please go vote on Design by Humans today. Thanks.

Return of Looney Tunes Tees
Posted by Troy | Filed under Art/Design, Culture, Fashion, Humor

Looney Tunes has collaborated with fashion T-shirt designer Johnny Cupcakes to release these limited edition shirts.
Looney Tunes back en vogue??
I’ve been saving a purple Wile E. Coyote shirt (
ca. 1991) just for this occasion. Now if only I can find some red Arizona jeans and I’ll be able to recreate the entire ensemble.
