Everyday people come to me saying, “Shawn, you’re pretty cool…  is there some way I could give you a portion of my disposable income in exchange for awesome geeky t-shirts that will make me the envy of my uncultured neighborhood?” Well good news! Thanks to a twist of fate, I have a buttload of new shirt designs that are finally available for sale on the fabled “internets!

AWESOME NEW T-SHIRTS!

These shirts, which were forged in the fiery depths of Blackrock Spire, provide the extreme stat boosts you need in today’s fast-paced leveling environment, while keeping the exterior of your body silky smooth to the touch. Couple all that with the wacky designs I’ve slapped on the front, and you’ve got a garment that simply CAN NOT BE BEAT.

Supplies are limited, so order now! My baby needs strained peas!

AnimeExpo 2008 LogoNot sure if it really needs to be mentioned again… but I’m at AnimeExpo in L.A. this weekend with Scott and Dave! Two cons in California in a row? INSANITY.

As always I will have a wide variety of t-shirts on hand (including two brand new designs that are not available yet, and one that is coming out of retirement!) and of course a pile of Halolz posters. Also I should have some sort of new poster based off of the Brawl artwork I’ve been working on the last month (not 100% sure what that’s going to look like though). Anyway, if you’re going to be there you should track me down! I wish I could tell you what booth I’ll be at, but I have no idea! I just know it’s an exhibitors booth so I assume it will be where all the action is on the main floor.

Also Mike is indeed still alive… he has a post queued up for later today! Hopefully he can get some more up this weekend while I’m out of town!

Guess that’s about it. FRINK OUT!

So I’ve been keeping up with posting submissions pretty well… but the site news, not so much. Here’s some random stuff that’s going on at the moment!

I have a Deviant Art page now. (Also turns out Mike has one too!) I’ve always been kind of reluctant to sign up at DA, but it actually seems to be working out pretty well for me (I guess it’s the convenience mostly). Anyway I’ve been working on some stuff for THE AWESOMEST SMASH BROS. POSTER EVER MADE and could always use some extra feedback!

• In a little over two weeks I’ll be heading out to Anime Expo in L.A. which I’m told is the biggest anime con in the country… so… that’s going to be interesting (and not stressful in any way!) And of course, if you live in California, this would be another excellent chance to pick up a Halolz poster without paying all that lame shipping!

• I’ve kind of rekindled my love affair with Team Fortress 2 recently (on PC)… and so figured what the heck, I’ll go ahead and make a Halolz group on Steam! So if you get bored we can always use some more Pyros!

• And after a long time of saying I was going to do it… I’ve finally gotten around to putting up a new store page called Ninja-Bot (you might have seen the new ad banner). It’s not all that different than the store page I had on Staccato, but now I have a better place to centralize all the random crap I end up selling. I guess it’s not all that exciting, but I figured I’d mention it anyways…

Hmm, so I guess that’s all I can think of at the moment. Have fun with all those links! FRINK OUT!

Hey folks, sorry if the updates have been a little sparatic… I’ve been rushing around trying to get ready for Fanime 2008 (which I didn’t even get around to mentioning until now).

So yeah, if you’re in the San Jose, CA area this Memorial Day weekend, you should swing by the artist alley and say hi! I will have some of those sweet Halolz Posters (more than I did at NYCC!) and of course all the other wonderful crap I shill on a regular basis! Hope to see some readers there! (It’s the first con I’ve ever done in California…)

Wow, I can’t believe I forgot to mention this… but the incredibly awesome Halolz posters are now up for preorder!

In case you forgot from my earlier NYCC post, here are some bulletpoints outlining it’s awesomeness:

• 16″ x 20″
• Insanely high quality (seriously, I wish there was same way I could describe how amazing the paper/print quality is)
• Features some of the best submissions we’ve gotten since the site started
• Putting it on your wall makes you instantly win the internets

Halolz Poster
And hey, while you’re over at Shark Robot buying the poster, you may as well check out some of my shirt designs which are up for preorder over there as well! You know… combined shipping and so forth… good way to save money if you plan on wearing an awesome shirt while hanging your awesome poster.

Yes I know, I’ve used the word “awesome” too much in this post. I apologize.

NY Comic Con 2008… MISSAN COMPWEE!

Just a quick update… the posters were a hit (I think they were all gone by Saturday) so they will definitely be going up for sale on the interwebs soon.

Also the site still seems to be running despite my being out of town for like five days, so that’s a good sign. I never mentioned it but I updated a lot of the site software last week and so far things seem to be holding together so I guess that all worked out.

Oh and since the site is growing, I’ve decided to add a second editor to help me keep up with lawl processing. More info on that later!
(No applications plz, the position has already been filled!)

Yo! In case you didn’t know, I’ll be at New York Comic Con this weekend, hanging with Scott from VGCats and Dave from SNAFU! Our rocking corner booth is located here, on the corner of Awesome Ave. and Rock-Your-Face Road. Ok that’s not what the aisles are called… but man, if I ran the convention, THEY WOULD BE.

Anyway, if you’re going to be in the city you should stop by. I will have a few of my classic wacky t-shirts for sale… along with a brand new poster I’ve been working on with Dave…

Halolz Poster

The poster is 16″x 20″ and is way nicer quality than I could ever describe online. Trust me, it’s awesome. If you ever wanted to cover your dorm room or run down shack with Halolz… this is the perfect way to do it!

But yeah, I’ll have a small amount of these at NYCC if you’d like to check them out/pick one up! All proceeds go to the hosting of the site… and my addiction to Starbucks.

[AWESOME T-SHIRT] Fork You!

Oh hey! Remember back in November when I said you could buy some cool new shirts, but then they mysteriously disappeared? Well good news, they’re coming back! First up is “Fork You!” which is now up for presale in both Mens and Womens sizes! Here’s the original description, which should be up on the store page at some point:

If there’s one thing Fork can’t stand, it’s losing an intellectual debate to his pal Spoon. But still, there’s no excuse for resorting to vulgarity!

From the Staccato filler comic that everyone loves (or just loves to hate) comes a t-shirt that lets you show your love with pride. Also you might be able to offend some old people with poor eyesight!

That’s right, live the dream!

Remember, all proceeds go to the hosting of this site… and feeding me candy.
