hi threadless. i haven't been around here much lately but thought a few of you might be interested in my latest project: delete, accept, and deny cookie stamps!

cookie stamps are exactly what you might guess from the name: stamps for decorating cookies. for my latest project, i designed stamps for making delete cookies, accept cookies, and deny cookies, and i'm selling them in my new etsy shop.



these chocolate-dipped delete cookies are especially tasty:


now if you'll excuse me, i'm way behind on voting...

so one of the things i do when not making t-shirt designs is i make glitch art. i do this lots of different ways, but one way involves microsoft wordpad.

the folks at WIRED (UK edition) took notice and did a featurette about this in the new issue. in the piece, they show thumbnails of a couple of my self-portraits... and since i wear threadless t-shirts almost exclusively, that means you can see my threadless shirts in the article:



at bottom right, you can see i'm wearing excavation, and next to that i'm wearing haunted hedge maze, though that one may be too small to identify in the actual printed magazine, which i haven't seen yet because i'm in the states.

saw this on threadless365:

i'm coming up to chicago next week for the gli.tc/h art festival/conference!

there will be all kinds of cool stuff like a gallery exhibition, screenings of glitch "films", and live performances (including one by me on saturday night at the nightingale).

so if you're in the chicago area and are interested in glitch art, glitch music, databending, or what have you, then you should definitely try to attend some of these events.

it's your birthday, buddy!

have a good one!

it's called "greatest orchestra hits":



it's from my new album, which is up now for free download.

i have an idea for a collab that involves reimagining characters in the style of the tv show mad men. but i don't really have time to work on it, plus i'm probably not the best illustrator for the job anyway.

if you think you'd be good at drawing some guys in brooks bros suits and some ladies in equivalent early-60s fashions, then email me at stalliongsta @ yahoo dot com

Pekar, 70, was found dead shortly before 1 a.m. today by his wife, Joyce Brabner, in their Cleveland Heights home, said Powell Caesar, spokesman for Cuyahoga County Coroner Frank Miller. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death. Pekar and his wife, Joyce Brabner, wrote "Our Cancer Year," a book-length comic, after Pekar was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer in 1990 and underwent a grueling treatment.

here's an idea for threadless loves technocraft...

it would basically be a (yet another) resub/reworked version of my "escape" idea:



except the solution wouldn't be printed on the shirt; the user would fill that herself using the marker of her choice.

thoughts? are mazes going to be a cliche for this competition?

IDG News Service - Amazon.com plans to acquire online discount retailer Woot.com, the smaller site announced Wednesday.

Woot, which offers one item for sale each day, didn't disclose the terms of the deal. The company will continue to operate independently from its Carrollton, Texas, headquarters, Woot CEO Matt Rutledge said in a letter to employees published on the site.
