Just another day at work! A typical day of work for my store on Etsy, two string jane! Each tee, sweatshirt and tank is stenciled by hand with soft water based inks and hand cut plastic stencils. Then everything is shipped out to the customer once it has air dried. This video was taken with […]
I drew up a new sketch the other day inspired by my Austrian friend. Here’s how the conversation went: Me: “You are so dramatic!” Mike: “Dramatic like Shakespeare” “… more like milkshakespeare” I wish I could have worked Shakespeare’s little soul patch in but there wasn’t enough room. What […]

New Particle Theory Splash Dyed Tee in the shop. In more subdued hues for you guys who dig splashing but want a more tonal look. I dig the way it kinda looks like dust swirling in a ray of sunlight or snow falling on a gray day.

One of the perks of marrying a talented graphic designer! It’s been about 3 years and it’s time for an update. Thanks to WordPress we got pretty much the whole re-design done in one night! For the branding, I decided to do custom hand-drawn type. You can check out my sketches above. I’ve been digging […]

So my hubs and I were browsing Marukai (formerly super 98 cents Marukai) and found this totally kickin’ fake cactus. It totally had arm-like looking appendages ripe for decorating. So we brought him home, made some clay boxing gloves for him and stuffed a little brown squirrel tail for his backside. Although it looks like […]
