I am so sorry Andy Warhol

Like most of America I have seen the Bernie Sanders memes flying around ever since the inauguration. The image of Bernie was uniquely iconic. I am not sure the exact factors that make something iconic but I know it when I see it. Icons are weird little things that can stand on their own as…

That 70’s look

I have two clear designer diseases. First, I collect an unholy amount of fonts. If you have a website that offers free commercial fonts, I will stay there all day or until every font is downloaded, maybe twice. The other equally disease is palettes. If I had a penny for each palette I have copied…

Friday Creative Day (moderate guilt)

When I was planning to quit my job and go out on my own (just before Covid) I decided there were three ways I could go. I could build a medium-sized graphics and advertising firm OR I could run a smaller shop and farm out the work to my very talented friends OR I could…

Sometimes signs are signs

In life, we may receive many signs. Some signs come in the form of visions. Some signs come as actions or coincidences that defy explanation. Or sometimes, signs are just signs. My niece needed two signs for her wedding. She left the task to my oldest child who, nowadays with school and looming college stuff,…

The birth of a ghost

I want to encourage you to turn your doodles into tshirts, mugs, or whatever. Lets be clear that I am not sponsored by any company at all. A short look at this site’s menu will show I use all the sites! That said, I want you to not be afraid to create. Make a RedBubble…

What a good day in the Bunkr looks like

Today is a great day in the Bunkr. I feel positive, full of ideas, and brimming with energy. Why? I have had the first good nights sleep in two weeks and it shows. So, why would you read a post about someone just getting a good night’s sleep? This isn’t going to be about that….

Carnot Cycle of T-Shirt Production

Way back in the early 1800’s Sadi Carnot came up with the concept (I am over simplifying here) if you start a point and come back to that point later then the net change is zero. That is, you have done no work. I don’t agree with Carnot as far as t-shirt production is concerned….

A Mini setback

I find a lot of my ideas while I am driving. Sometimes, I’ll just roll the windows down and drive until I figure out whatever is bothering me. Sometimes it has ended up being a hilariously unexpected road trip. Several years ago I purchased a Mini Clubman for this exact purpose. It was my daily…

Creativity

My friends, creativity is hiding behind every corner. Its in the color of a pea or in the sound of a passing bus in a busy town in the rain. However, because of the times we live in or some miswired neurotransmitters in our heads creativity becomes hard to find. We turn up our senses…
