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….

Camping and dealing

Today I am hunkered down in the bunkr (see what I did there?) listening to the AJR Brothers and designing my little heart out. I have been able to reach that artist tunnel vision where all of the outside world melts away and you become totally immersed in what you are doing. Even though I…

The 2020 Covid Vacation that didn’t happen

As you may be aware, we are in the middle of a pandemic. This thing started just before spring break and continued all summer long. Its becoming fall and school has started. I mean “started” depending on what that means to you. Anyway, I missed any kind of vacation and my mind and body need…

A little optimistic, maybe.

Lorem Ipsum

The battle cry of creatives for hundreds of years! Now through the power of being stuck in my garage because of Covid, its now emblazoned on a tshirt! I have seen these words so many times. I have always thought they were just Latin nonsense. Gee how I hope its not some kind of silly…

Sunday Tshirts

Every Sunday we gather up all the tshirt ideas we have thrown around for the previous week and pick one. Then we (or me) sit down and design one for release on Amazon, TeeSpring, Red Bubble, or some other online outlet. Not all shirts go to all stores. Some stores are going to have a…
