TMNT “Shred or Die”
Designer Ian Leino has a new shirt today, Thursday June 21st at TeeFury.com that’s a skateboarding themed design of the classic TMNT villain Shredder, illustrated in a retro graffiti style. It’s just $10, but only for 24 hours. After that you’ll be able to get it printed on American Apparel tri-blend shirts through Ian’s own shop. Here’s a quick word from the artist about the design:
“I have a theory that the TMNT and Shredder were really just skate park rivals – the Turtles were loose and artistic while Shredder was all about precision and technical perfection. Once a big Hollywood producer got ahold of the story, it quickly morphed into this weird thing with talking rats, vengeance stories and armies of ninjas. Everyone involved got huge checks for the rights to their story, but were forbidden from ever telling the truth, lest it topple the empire of cartoons and action figures that had sprung up. It was supposed to be about the skating, man!”

Doctor Whoville
I was never a big fan of doctors as a child, but there were two that always held a magical sway over me: Doctor Who and Dr. Seuss. Somehow it felt only natural to pay homage to both by combining them into this one design.
Just in time for the holidays, these t-shirts and greeting cards are available now in my own shop.
Shirts are printed on American Apparel 100% soft jersey cotton shirts. Greeting cards include a Doctor Who-themed inscription, written in a Seuss-ical style by my good friend Josiah Bancroft.

Namaste, Y’all
For the “Threadless Loves Your City” competition, I’ve created a design for my hometown of Ashevill, NC and you can vote for it here: Vote for Namaste, Y’all at Threadless.
A little background: Asheville, NC is a town of diversity. Nestled into the Blue Ridge mountains, it’s home to a wide range of outdoor activities but also has a bustling downtown scene. Over the past few years, it’s been lauded with a wealth of awards celebrating its diverse culture, including:
• Top 25 Art Destinations (American Style)
• Beer City USA (3 years in a row)
• America’s New Freak Capital (by Rolling Stone)
• America’s Happiest City (Self magazine)
• & America’s Best Place to Re-Invent Yourself (AARP)
Just to name a very few.
Asheville has been declared one of the best towns for street musicians or for small businesses, for artists or outdoorsmen, and is often in the top 10 cities in the US for top arts cities, great food towns, most romantic cities, and any number of other distinctions.
There’s no way to sum up a town like this in one design, but I thought it would be fun to show a cross-section of Asheville’s community all riding a multi-person mountain bike together, to show that they’re all working in harmony to move the city forward, and I’ve chosen a blue color scheme to represent the Blue Ridge Mountains. Don’t forget to vote for Namaste, Y’all at Threadless.
World’s Greatest Exaggerator
My newest design “World’s Greatest Exaggerator” is now up for scoring at Threadless!

It seemed like a design that lots of people would enjoy, and something that even if YOU don’t need it, you probably know someone who does. Your votes and comments are how they choose what to print, so please take a moment to score it at Threadless:
