Koala T screenprinting & the Tshirt Bar Links

2006-08-29T09:13:00.000-07:00

Koala T screenprinting is a company in dallas that's run by an old buddy of mine, Scott Mensing. Scott's one of the best printers i know. if you want to contact him or just check out his website, click on the link to the right of the page. tell him toe sent you and if he doesn't say "toe who?" and kick you out screaming and cussing then you'll get top quality service from one of the best screenprinters in the business.

the Tshirt Bar is the online store for Zed Hed run by another pal of mine, Jay Collum, who i've done many designs for over the past several years. he's a funny guy whose humor is evident in the ideas he gives me to design. see them for yourself at the Tshirt Bar. you can even order one right there!

Scratchankle & EscaRosa ambigram

2006-07-23T11:53:00.000-07:00

another ambigram: in the interest of full disclosure and honesty, this logo isn't being used by the EscaRosa Press. in fact i haven't even shown it to them... yet. it's just me practicing and having fun with the ambigram process.

this is a sample of a one panel comic strip i am thinking of submitting. scratchankle was the name used for Milton back in the day and also the name of the annual founders day festival. the strip would be "snapshots" of day to day life in a small town. whether there's actually a character named Scratchankle or not i haven't decided yet.
