Words from the curator:

Sam Schuna (aka: olie!) has been one of my favorite Threadless designers for a long time. He is a master of multiple styles, with which he is always willing to experiment! Here he brings a whimsical play of linework and imaginative imagery, illustrating an epic tale that came from within typed keys.

Tell Us About This Design:

Old timey typewriters are awesome, and this shows just a little glimpse of all the stuff that can come out of them with a bit of imagination.

Tell Us About Yourself:

I am currently a freelance illustrator/designer/pokemon master living near the Twin Cities of beautiful Minnesota, and I just put up my own website at www.samschuna.com

Name a few of your favorite things:

Sandwiches, my family and friends, riding bikes, vidya games, and fun stuffs.

Do you own a lot of shirts? If so, what's your favorite?:

Haha, in spite of how much I love designing shirts I really don't own that many. I have like maybe 8 t-shirts in my dresser, a lot of them are from the Goodwill, which is my favorite place to shop for clothes. My favorite is probably a black type shirt that just says "It's all about Betsy" in Papyrus font. I'm not quite sure what it's supposed to mean.

How did you get into art?:

I have always loved drawing, but I never really did it that much until high school, and then even more in college. I guess it helps a lot that my mom works in the art industry too.

What was your favorite as a kid: comics, cartoons or movies? Was there a specific title you liked most of all?:

Probably comics/cartoons, which go hand in hand for me. As a kid I was HUGE into anime (DBZ, Pokemon, Gundam) and I would come home from middle school, quickly eat some ramen noodles and turn on Toonami. Nowadays I don't watch TV at all much anymore and I'm more into alternative graphic novels, although I still have a couple gundam models and pokemon figurines scattered around my room.
