print update

we're still waiting for the blanks to arrive for the last batch of shirts- the supplier messed up and they wound up sitting in their warehouse for 3 days before they actually got sent... >:( so anyway it means we won't be able to start printing until tuesday, however everything should be completely wrapped up by friday, after which all of the remaining orders will be sent via airmail. many of you could potentially be seeing your stuff by the following week (june 23-27) and almost everybody should have their gear by july- just in time for summer.

plug alert: i've been a fan of group hug for a while now: the confession site is a cool concept that works well in the context of the internet. i recently discovered another similar site called creepy confessions that does more or less the same thing, but with a definite element of badassery added for good measure. because what's the point of being bad if no one knows about it?

oh my frackin' gods

if you can't tell from this post's headline, i am a fan of battlestar galactica. i think it's the best sf show of all time, and possibly the best show period. so yeah, i like it a little. so this post is about bsg and if you ain't down with the bsg then you ain't down with me.

so did you see "revelations" last night?



spoiler alert

i thought it was overall kind of a weak episode, that is until the end of course, which was mind-blowing. the whole thing just had a rushed feel, like they were trying to cram so much stuff into one hour that there was no time to explore the ramifications of what was happening. i mean appollo giving the coordinates of earth to the cylons just like that? and then adama being just kind of ok with it? granted, he had just discovered that his best friend was a toaster and he was probably in shock, but still, come on. it was just all a little hard to swallow. it doesn't help that i don't nor have i ever liked appollo- he's a whiny, bitchy spoiled hothead, and it's hard to feel empathy for him. and this episode seemed to focus on him a lot, which was boo.

however that ending!! of course one of the huge questions for this season was "if they find earth, when exactly in earth's history will they arrive?" i was kind of rooting for present day earth, either that or back in the paleolithic age, but honestly for some reason i just didn't see a post-apocalyptic earth coming. what a great fracking way to end the search for earth- and so in tune with the whole overarching struggle the surviving humans (and now cylons) have gone through: just when freedom seems within grasp, a new problem presents itself.

so apparently there will be no new episodes for at least several months. fracking hell.

anyway enough about that. zbq rock banners coming to a bedroom near you. bigger prints. more styles. less filler, more killer. always on zb radio.

new prints for june

june is a nice month. why can't it be june all the time? there ought to be a law.

as threatened, june 9th has come and gone and so have the 9 prints that were available for order- in the zbq vault for at least 6 months. but in their place i bring you 9 other morsels of deliciousness for your amygdala to fillibrate.

what if you threw a contest and noone came? a few days ago i posted a contest looking for help in naming this next print. well, maybe 3 days just wasn't long enough, because noone took the bait. not wanting to call it "no name", i decided to name it jade starr because, well, that's the girl's name. if you can come up with a better one i'll still consider changing it and giving you the free shirts! but it better be a good one. thanks to eon mckai for the photo that inspired this design.


i'm happy to have another new print to offer you today: meet duvelle.


the rest of this month's batch of goodies are a mix of old and new. first up: robin antiga's 1948 inverse and 1948 blue


another creepy favorite from way back with a new twist: white wasp and white wasp (pink)


proving your vote does count: manko received a lot of votes, so i brought it back. i'll be watching the vote tallies to decide what to bring back in july.



remember the ghetto princess? yeah, so do i. and i still love her. so here are 2 variations on her loveliness for you: orange princess and pink princess.


new order deadline is july 2nd. happy june!

all city, new art

locals only: i will be giving away shirts tonight (saturday june 7th) at all city, the soul/funk/disco/r&b night at the tribeca (1583 granville). the only stipulation of getting a shirt is that you have to put it on right away and then dance with it on. but not like a fake dance you're just doing to get the shirt- you have to really mean it (i find that liquor can help with that). and thanks to djs jorun, gordski and double a's extra helpings of motown, stevie wonder, chic, kool & the gang, parliament and way more funke by the tonne than could possibly be measured by instruments known to man, that's not usually a problem.

working behind the scenes on some new zb freshosity for ya eyeballs: several in-house designs, some amazing new things from robin antiga, slawek kasolka and (possibly, fingers crossed) jason nelson as well. only 2 days left to order the current selection of prints: on tuesday june 10th i will be posting 9 new prints and these 9 will go into the vault for a minimum of 6 months:
