i have a pretty substantial collection of t-shirts, (and thanks to r. stevens it just grew by three ) and every now and then i think it’d be cool to sit down and design a shirt or two. unfortunately i lack the ‘mad skills’ to turn my ideas into designs. still, here’s a few i’d like to come up with.

i love this quote:

I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn’t it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailleur? We are getting soft… As for me, give me a fixed gear!
–Henri Desgrange, L’Equipe, 1902

but not the shirt i found it on. so i’d like to have a better design for that.

there’s also always my desire for a point83 logo shirt, as well as one based off the starscream/wackacon logo visible at the top of my website. unfortunately, with such a crappy source image it’s going to be hard to ever get anything nice without basically redrawing it.

i also like aaron’s forum banner:

even though it’s already been an urban outfitters shirt, i prefer the wider layout and green color. also, i simply refuse to pay $28 for a single t-shirt.

oh well. even if i can’t get the t-shirts i want, i finally did get myself a cool new messenger bag. we’ll see if it actually replaces the venerable hacker timbuk2 or not. i did try out my friend garth’s bag and found it to be massively comfortable. hopefully the company didn’t fail because their bags were bad.
