Darcie and I are going to be printing up some new GiantSquid tshirts this weekend. There’s 2 designs, and I’ve got both mens and womens shirts. They’re American Apparel 50 50 shirts, and they run just a touch bigger than the traditional AA tshirt. My awesome squid illustration was done way back when by the infamous Neil Fasen.
I’m gonna give away 5 tshirts to random commenters on this blog post. Since this blog only has 2 readers, if you’re reading this the odds are pretty good you’ll get one. So get in there and leave me some comment lovin.

Unfortunately not a lot of information on this site, but the art heartbreaking. Rich, warm portraits. I’m buying one of these (as soon as a little cash comes in the door). I’m really curious about how they’re made. They have a real organic feel to them, but the backgrounds look like they might be from photographs. Enjoy, I clicked on every single thumbnail. You should too. byroglyphics
