Opening Day in Miami. Ahhh.

That just about says it all.  The dreams, the realities, the hope and the beauty of our fair city on Opening Day.  I love you Miami!

Weekend in Heaven: Spring Break Edition.

(The Rain of Acorns by Juvuan Kirby.  From Upper Deck’s Vs. System.)
Give me a whole week off, and things will get nuts.  While Nina and I are shaking the tree to high heaven, you might want to find out where you fall in our polls on the Daily Kos.  I should be able to come [...]

Keeping the Game Alive.

(Deadgirl arising with Team Spirit, by Dan Panosian, from Upper Deck’s Vs. System.)
Okay gang, it’s time to show the hater(s?) what we are made of.  Thankfully, there are only a tiny few nasty boys left on the boards.  Let’s leave them behind and really progress this time, as a community.
I just found some spectacular aphorisms that are [...]

Thursday Thirteen: The Music.

(fIREHOSE, carrying on.)
Today has been busy, cooking up the shirt orders and such.  So I would like to quickly take this opportunity to turn you on to the punk rock that changed my life.  For your listening pleasure.

Happy New Year, Baseball Fans.

Sports and Superheroes.  Two great tastes that taste great together.  Clicking that link will time travel you back one year, and Nina will be wishing luck to Dontrelle Willis in person, as he rubs my belly. 
Then you will fast forward to the present moment, just in time to see the first pitching change of 2008.  [...]

It’s almost here. Get ready!

You can click that pic if you need some serious laughs, but as for me…
I am so ready for Opening Day.  One week away in Miami, with tickets just above the bullpen and a whole week of Spring Break to celebrate the new season properly.  Go Fish!

Come Monday, It’ll Be Alright.

(Primary Directive, by Chris Warner, from Upper Deck’s Vs. System.)
Time to take a deep breath, and relax. 
In…
Out… 
Ahhh.
Okay, I got the new Rallying Cry done and submitted, packaged up the first round of Obama Flavor shirts, wrote my lesson plans for the week, made twenty students laugh and feel better about themselves, and sat down to [...]

Weekend in Heaven: A Different Kind of Egg.

We will be busy cutting stencils and pouring our art into some seriously vibrant shirts this weekend, Happy Easter!

Of Every Shape and Size.

It takes all kinds to build a community.  Diversity expands the potential for creativity and enriches the human experience.  When it comes to superhuman mythology, the variety factor is off the charts.  Those cards are original sketches that were randomly inserted in lucky packs of the new Marvel Masterpieces trading cards.  Thanks to Jonboy Meyers [...]
