Teefury

A word from the curator:
Back when you were learning your ABCs and 123s, you were oblivious to the danger. But knowing what you know now, would you really let your kids learn lessons from a vampire? This tee is about awareness!

Tell us about this design.
I have two boys (Silas - 28 months & Salem - 9 months). Everyday at 8am we MUST watch Sesame Street. I never realized it growing up, but they air the same episodes over and over. Not that the show is all that stimulating for a 29 year old dude, but when you've seen it 5 times already...it makes a fella's mind start to wander. I started to imagine what would happen when the Count ran out of things to count. Being insanely obsessed with counting things, I figure he'd take matter into his own felt hands and start counting victims.

I'm guessing that Bert, Ernie & Prairie Dawn (or rather - in this version - Bart, Arnie & Dairy Prawn) would be the first three because they're human.

Tell us about yourself:
I'm from Illinois. I'm married and have two little boys (Silas Garamond & Salem Rockwell) I'm a freelancer so I get to spend a lot of time with the fam. I like drawing birds, skulls, animals, pop icons/celebrities and trees. I like jokes.

What's a day in the life of Josh like?
Pretty slow. I wake up whenever my kids wakeup. I usually mix up some formula and make some oatmeal. Depending on the time, I usually watch either Nickelodeon, PBS or Disney. At noon, my wife comes home from work. I then make myself lunch (today - I grilled a hamburger. Tomorrow, I'll probably be having some bratwurst) Then I draw stuff. Then I watch tv (unless I have a tight deadline) Then I go to bed. Certain matters of hygiene are sometimes in that mix. Yes - sometimes.

Do you own alot of shirts? If so, what's your favorite?
I own a lot of shirts - I think my favorite right now is either a shirt called "Old Man Maze" by Tim Berps aka Timber! designs or my Sufjan Stevens ILLINOISE! shirt. I'm a big SS fan.

What would be your dream job?
Owning/operating a coffee house.

Any contests or general goals you are shooting for?
Make more of my money designing shirts and less designing things I'm not that find of.
