Hi there! Well, its been a little over a month, so here's a bunch of new stuff.

Made some shirts and tote bags for our friends at Octopuses Garden Art Alliance.

New hoodies for The Waiting Room and 1% Productions staff. They have done a lot for Omaha's music scene and deserve our full fledged support. Go see a rock show!!



Reprinted these Saddle Creek shirts. I want to say these came out of a design contest the label held around 2004. Check out their sweet new website.




And lastly, the elusive "Drunk Octopus on a Unicycle" Good Life shirt. This is what long drives on tour produce.....ridiculous t-shirt ideas. We approve of such ridiculousness.
