contest shmontest

okay, now i remember why i never have contests.....no one freakin' enters them. how do you expect to win anything if you don't take 30 seconds to enter? that being said, we did at least get 3 people off their lazy duffs long enough to string a few letters on their keyboards together to answer our current ongoing contest question, which is "what can we do to improve this site?". and here they are......


different backgrounds with each new refresh -javier

have a section for underwear, boy and girl underwear, and different styles as well -micah baker

put up more sexy women(: -saul

ok, so those are all good. i think having different backgrounds with each refresh is a neat idea, but might get very distracting. the undies are already on the way, in fact i'm going to be working on those next week. and i'm also working on getting a lot more pictures of sexy women very soon- that's always a nice perk, if you'll excuse the term. so anyway, i'm going to give the free shirt to saul, because he used a smily. no other reason really, it's pretty arbitrary. don't like it? well, enter the damn contest yourself, or if you're that much of a wussbag get your mom to do it for you.

so, only about 24 hours left to pre-order ATAK, then i'll be posting an entirely new shirt design early on saturday morning. 'til then amigos.......

to boldly go....

it's the number 1 flick in north america right now, so i'm sure i don't need to tell you how FREAKING AMAZING the new star trek movie is, but just in case: THE NEW STAR TREK MOVIE IS F**CKING INCREDIBLE!! as a kid who grew up watching the original series and was disappointed by the tepid bland pablum of "the next generation" and all of the other namby-pamby series that followed it, this movie was a breath of fresh air and a true return to everything that made star trek great in the first place. captain kirk hitting on everything that walks, shit blowing up left and right, crew members in mini-skirts and bad scottish accents- it's all here, and so much more. well-written, well-cast, and extremely well-executed. if you haven't seen it yet, you need to- now. i know i will be again. hoot!

and just because, here's another set of nico stinghe's awesome photographs. nico will hopefully be shooting the new zbq catalogue later this year, and the next new shirt design is also based on one of his photos. did i mention that i like his stuff? well i do. yes, i think i do.

ATAK of the killer t-shirts

so i was hoping to post a brand new shirt today and i spent the morning trying to print a prototype. but, as so often happens with screen printing, the print wasn't really working as planned, so now it's "back to the drawing board" and hopefully we'll get it done next week. so in the meantime, i thought i'd make another print available for pre-order 'til then. robin antiga's ATAK is one of the older prints we've done on shirts, going back to about 2004, and is still one of my favorites.







and just to keep things interesting, i'm also making another color variation available as well: ATAK (red).





these shirts will be available for pre-order on any size, color or style of your choice, and at a $3 discount, until midnight may 15th. after this run we'll probably be cleaning out the screens, so there's a good chance it won't be printed again for a long time. you have been warned!!

krushty

just posted some krushbot shirts to the database- got some black, asphalt and royal blue t-shirts in stock and ready for immediate shipment.



started working on a new print today, i'm hoping to wrap it up tomorrow and be able to get it online for pre-orders by tomorrow night!

did you know that i do custom shirt printing? well, i do. in fact, i do it so much that i'm thinking of posting some pictures of some of the stuff i do from time to time. i just did these really cool hoodies for a local comic book shop the other day, and last week i did like 360 shirts for a band from ottawa called today i caught the plague. if you are looking for a reliable screen printer to help you out with your band, t-shirt line or team shirts, you could do worse than me. i've been doing this for about 12 years and, i dare say, i'm starting to get pretty good at it. so if you're interested write me at zero@zeroboutique.com.

coming soon: some fresh new polo shirts in prepschool, a contest winner, another LOVECATS set and much more. glee!
