I just stumbled across this and thought Wow!
Typography in Motion from ilovetypography.com on Vimeo.

I've been checking up on this site for
months to see if this one printed—
It finally did—I'm so happy
such a brilliant idea!

this just happened today....
I'm still muddy from being in the river.....

------

Today I was walking my dogs and there was a duck floating in the river
on one side and flapping one wing-- it was pitiful--

So I called bird rescue, and a women and a women with a big
net came-- but she didnt want to climb down the muddy bank
and walk through
the mud and get the duck... she had her good clothes on
and the tide was coming in and it was getting dark....

so I tried-- I went through knee deep mud to get to the duck-
which was on the bank
but it kept flapping its one wing and going deeper into the water -
I went into the water up to my waist--- but I couldn't reach.

But then a lady named Natasha -- walking her dogs with her husband
offered to help-- she was American-- from San Fransisco -- she had a French
accent--- (She had no problem with jumping into the mud)

So with Natasha helping--
I went back out into the water up to my waist and waved my arms
to scare the duck into the bank and
kept the duck from swimming back into the water--
...While the duck was watching me flail my arms like a crazy person
Natasha snuck in from behind with the net and got the duck...

It was like-- we were duck rescueing professionals!!!

So Yay!!! We saved the duck!!!

The bird rescue lady thinks the duck has a broken wing- and a broken leg.
she wrapped it up in cloth- like a mummy -- with just its head sticking out--
Then she sat the duck in the back seat of her car.
the duck didn't seem to mind-- and seemed quite snug-- sitting in the car--
She said that ducks are very resilliant and the duck would
probably be just fine.

So Yay!!! We saved the duck!!!

I keep coming back to threadless and checking to see
if they have printed these— When will they print?
how long does it take. If they haven't printed does that mean they won't?

I keep coming back to to look at this submission to see if the kitty
is still there... I feel very attached to the Kitty... I want the Kitty...
I HAVE SPACE KITTY ON THE BRAIN!!!! I want this on a shirt!

This is fantastic!



Also, I just went to the illustrator, Ray Frenden's site, and its awesomeness.

He has posted all his process work, and even has videos of how he created
the submission.

I can't believe how talented some of the people on this site are.

Yesterday in class (advanced illustration class) the class ended early and someone
opened up threadless to show people Bananaphones submissions.

We went to his profile and read every single submission, from the oldest to newest —— And people were falling off their chairs laughing.

It was a great day.

This is really clever--
