A word from the curator:
For every bold action by James T. Kirk, somewhere there's an unfortunate red shirt dealing with the consequences!

Tell us about this design.
I wanted to do a tribute to the one true expendable in the sci-fi universe...the ensign red shirt. This poor fella would go on an away mission with no hope of every coming back, probably leaving behind a Mrs. Redshirt and some red shirt kids...sad, sad ensign red shirt :(

Where are you from?
Earth...near Philadelphia.

How did you get started designing t-shirts?
I love t-shirts, I have so, so many and i never get rid of them. I still have my Winger t-shirt from the 80's (yeah, i can tell you're jealous). It's a bit of an addiction. I figured it would be cool to try and do my own and viola!...here we are.

What advice would you offer to aspiring designers?
Never eat twizzlers and draw with a red crayon at the same time, you'll only make that mistake once.

What would be your dream job?
Either a Walmart greeter or a dinosaur, probably both very similar jobs.

What are your feelings about unibrows?
Bert, Frida Khalo and Bill Berry from R.E.M. all rock the unibrow, you don't get much cooler than that.

What would your dream house be like?
Probably very sticky since it'd be made out of laffy taffy.

Singing vs. dancing: which would win the battle?
Singing, unless we're talking Polka than everybody wins.

Describe your favorite shirt that you own, and why you like it so much.
Did i mention i still have my Winger concert shirt from the 80's (still jealous, i can tell.)

What was your favorite as a kid: comics, cartoons, or movies? Was there a specific title you liked most of all?
Wow, that is a tough choice...I still love all three. I gotta go with GI Joe for comics and cartoons and Star Wars for movies.

What are a few of your favorite websites?
