New year, new shoes!

I swear to god I’m like a fucking girl, I can’t stop buying shoes, especially when they’re on sale (go to the podium people, 50-00% off on shoes, shirts, jackets!! It’s crazy!CRAZY!!!!) Course, these particular shoes were 60% off and subsidized by my folks as a birthday gift, so I didn’t spend too much, but I have to put a stop to my shoe spending or finally just invest in a shoe rack.

Coming soon to a T-shirt near you!

Or rather, me.  Because I haven’t made a new t-shirt design in ages, I decided to roll one out, ninja style.  Cause everybody loves ninjas right?  Except pirates.  Pirates hate ninjas.

Based on the 10-minute ninja sketch I did a few days ago.

My first T-shirt sale (maybe)

Well, this is for everyone who’s been asking about how to get t-shirts offa me. I recently made a t-shirt featuring the monkey character by graf artist ff, seen here:

Now I really like how the T-shirt turned out, but the catch is that it’s just a tad too big for me. It’d have been perfect during my chunkier days, but unless I start packing in the pounds again it just looks a little awkward on me. So. I’ve decided to sell it for the low,low price of 900 pesos. Ok, so it’s not THAT low, but let me explain the thought behind the 900 peso price tag before you all go apeshit on me. The basic formula is:

T-shirt = 200 pesos

materials + labor + design = 550

payment for “gorilla” design (assuming ff looks for me and asks for a royalty) = 150

Total = 900

Please consider that this shirt design was made by hand (cut it out and painted it myself and everything) andis at this point a one of a kind design. You can wear it with the utter confidence that no one else will have the same shirt as you. If that’s important to you at all. If you don’t think the price fair, but you’re interested in the shirt, let me know what you think and why you think its unfair and I’ll get back to you. inquiries can be sent to endlessthirteen@yahoo.com. FF, you can also send me threats and cease and desist letter, or we can negotiate just how much I owe you for stealing your design.

I’m also selling this Gundam shirt for 600 pesos, since I’ve used it once or twice, and it’s just too small for me.

Right.

By the way. If any of you (friends, family, passerby) think I’m crazy for selling it that high please please let me know.  It’s much more useful for me to be told I’m crazy instead of you smirking and casually clicking on the “close’ button.  :)

In limited edition adidas sneakers.  Cute, but i’d never buy/wear them.

Upcoming

On a shirt. Soon.

I’m a Transformers fan, really.

Made for when I watched the movie last Sunday. It’s my way of saying I like the original Optimus Prime, thank you very much.

T-shirts! And stuff.

It’s been a while, so I thought I’d update allayouse on what I’ve been up to the past month or so. Mostly T-shirts, but here’s a little update on an artwork that I put together for playlist Manila:

Added a few doodads like the arrows and more drawings and stuff. I should really get my ass to mag:net cafe and get this home before they decide to throw it out with the trash.

Based on the artwork I made a while back. made a scaled down version of the “machine” and the other symbols. I’m digging the color scheme on this one.

Made specifically for the recent comic-con, because my friend was gonna go dressed up as a go-bot to counter all the transformers hype. I’m not crazy enough to go to a con in costume, so I just put together this shirt. Remember, Transformers are gobots in disguise.

The idea here was mixing up pop culture references, hence the gundam zaku robot and the lyrics “domo arigato, mister roboto!”. I have a few more ideas for shirts like this, one featuring zangief with the movie title “From Russia with Love”. Can you dig it?

This shirt was born out of my experiences in Boracay, namely a drinking binge that had me yelling “BE RESPONSIBLE” while belting out bon jovi on the videoke. On the back is a quote that will forever be burned into me and my officemates’ collective psyches, when we were actually considering the implications of staying in boracay and not going back to work the next day. I said “fuck it, we’re all gonna die anyway, let’s do it!” Obviously because we were a bunch of wusses, we didn’t do it.

Lastly, in what may be a preview of things to come, the first T-shirt I’ve made for a friend of mine, neatly packaged and labeled (it’s actually a bench plastic…bag…thingie that I just spraypainted on, but it looks pretty neat, no? It’s a Sealab 2021 shirt, in case ya didn’t notice.

Finally, to everyone who’s been asking me how they can purchase a shirt, thanks for the support, and rest assured I’m trying to figure out how I can make this work. You’d definitely have to live in the Greater Metro Manila area, you have to provide your own shirt (so’s we know it fits you right) so I’d just be charging you for the design and labor.

Team Manila SALE! tomorrow!

I’ve been forcing myself to stop buying new T-shirts so I’d have to make my own, but I’m willing to set that aside for some Team Manila shirts and other knick knacks.  So you can be sure I’ll be there with bells on tomorrow.

Playlist Manila T-shirt

 

Just pimping this T-shirt cause I thought it turned out well.  Made it last Thursday and was planning to wear it to the Playlist Manila event on the 16th, except that I’ll be in bora for a company outing.  You all shoud go to the event by the way, it’s sure to be a blast despite (or because of) my absence.

This proves I am a bigger geek than all of you combined aka Spiderman T-shirt design FTW!

So on May 1 my friends and I are gonna watch Spiderman 3 in Powerplant. It’s not my theater of choice but since a lot of my friends are watching there I figured why the hell now. Big movie events excite the fanboy in me, and so to commemorate one of the best movie franchises in recent years, I made a Siderman 3 t-shirt. What’s cool (as cool as geeky can get) about the Tee is that on the front is the red “good” Spiderman logo and on the back is the black “evil symbiote badass motha” Spiderman logo.

I spent most of yesterday afternoon and evening working on this, and while I was still a bit disappointed with the results and tired from the heat (and paint fumes) I will wear this T-shirt proudly tomorrow, just as my friends will look elsewhere and pretend they do not know me.
