rawr! close up

Wishing you a Merry Christmas (Chanukah, Kwanzaa, or whatever you are celebrating)!

After I promised this video months ago, I finally put it up on YouTube. If you take the 20 minutes to watch it, please let me know what you think. This was filmed by myself and Nic Hubbard from Zed Said Studio a few years ago up in Northern California.

I recently started teaching a Robotics class to 7th & 8th graders. The class is structured around the LEGO Mindstorm NXT robotics platform. When I first heard about LEGO robotics I assumed that they were limited to some very basic programming. After using them a little and looking at other people’s projects on the internet it is obvious that they are almost limitless in what you can do with them. For instance check out this AWESOME rubik’s cube solver that someone built. 

So I’ve watched the first 7 episodes of the show now. I find the show amusing but it’s not going to be one of those have-to-watch shows for me. I took a screen grab of the ‘Computer Explosion’ shirt that was worn on the show. You can check out the large size by clicking on the picture.

I’m not sure if this show is cool, because I haven’t watched it yet. But I am pretty sure it is an awesome show, because this shirt alone contains enough awesomeness to garner this show an emmy. Not that I am trying to brag or anything. Seriously though, what’s better than a computer and a picture of something blowing up on the same t-shirt.

I just wanted to announce an upcoming collaboration with Tufts of TUFTSMANIA fame

Stay tuned for more info. 

A couple years ago, a friend and I made a short film called ‘Benjamin Flinchman’. Here is a little audio teaser, to whet your appetites until I get around to re-encoding and posting it somewhere on the internets. 
 

Sorry it’s been so long since a status update. I know some of you have been itching for the new stuff. It’s not here yet, but it is going to be here before you know it. Here is what has been happening around here:I’ve been working on finishing up coding the website so it will be ready to go live with the new line. I’m also in the middle of switching most of the line from soft-hand plastisol inks, to water-based inks and discharge printing. These new inks are super rad, and allow bright colors to be printed on colored shirts without leaving the design all thick and plastic feeling (which I HATE)…in fact with discharge and water-based inks you can barely feel the difference between the print and the fabric. Just wait until you see how soft and comfortable our shirts are now.

Here’s a sneak preview….comped on stolen picture of AA model.
