secretary tee shirt

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:55:28 -0500

$13.00
Our retro secretary image silkscreened onto a deep green tee shirt. Cotton and Polyester blend fabric will look positively dashing on ladies or gentlemen. Presently the following sizes are screened and ready to fly off to you via the postal service:

Small for wee ladies= 15" across by 21" long
Medium for the ladies= 17.5" by by 23" long
Men's Small (which also might be called a Lady's large)= 18" by 26" long
Men's Medium (pictured on the dashing gent)= 20" by 27" long
Men's Large= 22" across by 28" long

All measurements are in the dumb american inches system, used by just about nobody but us dumb americans. I can measure in your metric system, just send me a message.

Also...really a lot more is possible that the color combos you see...

We also have the aqua (pictured later on) in a few colors (though the sizes are a little more limited) and we have pale blue as well. We also have other ink colors including brown, black, white, green, and blue.

Please also note our small ladies size is run somewhat small, owing to our interesting and creative sizing scheme. We think small ladies like a lady-like fit that an adult small tee manufactured by Hanes does not always provide. Hence our small is actually a youth size medium. Please measure your favorite tee shirt to get the right fit. Please note we can also make a shirt bigger than the size L listed. Just ask!

And hey, as a bonus this shirt totally makes you more attractive to dogs, but particularly Lola B, pictured here.

letterpress scavenger bookplates set of 6

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:33:42 -0500

$10.00
Raccoons are notoriously bad at returning the books they compulsively scavenge from libraries far and wide. They don't care a bit if it's a book about building your own igloo or an auto repair manual written in Hindi--they can't get enough! With this in mind, we have created these bookplates to prevent raccoons (and the humans who emulate their habits) from absorbing your beloved books into their teeming towers of tomes.

Using hand-set type and a vintage raccoon image, we rocked our C&P Pilot press by hand 'til the wee hours, letterpressing these onto self-adhesive sticker paper for the good of all book owners.

Bookplates measure 3.5" x 4.25". You will receive a set of 6.

When people see you with this they will ask "What is that?" and you can regale them with stories of how you rocked out and reproduced with your gocco at all hours of the night with inky fingertips and exhilaration.

Hand-carved linocut of the noble gocco is printed on felt and patch measures approximately 4" x 5". Infinite Gocco street-cred guaranteed, yeah!

Who will win?

The sharp-whiskered squirrel or the slippery badger? The low-riding skunk or the fierce cougar? Who are these tough animals and why must they disagree?

Shall we place bets of twigs and berries? Only you decide!

Cards measure 5.25" x 7.25" and are hand letterpressed with love onto acid-free folded cardstock paired with delightfully passionate red envelopes.

Each set of 4 comes with 2 of each design: "skunk vs. cougar" and "badger vs. squirrel".
