More Breaking Bad Shirts!!!
Mental William Shirt
I.F.T. Tee
Perhaps if Ted Beneke of Beneke Fabricators hadn’t leased that car or if Huell (of sleeps standing up) wasn’t reasonably perusing that “Pretty Nooks” issue of Traditional Home or if Saul had a better A Team then none of this would’ve happened.
But no matter how you slice the orange, [Spoiler Alert for 2010] Skylar F•cked Ted. Available at the LOL or Heisenberg Tee Shops.
New Drakkar Shirt!
Named after flat-bottomed Viking ships, this fragrance has been appealing to the dark and sinister side of masculine sexual fantasies since 1982.
The New Shirt Adventures of Beans Baxter
Yes, indeed. I went and did it. I went and made a Beans Baxter shirt just like my mother told me I could one day when I grew up.
The Underground Government Liberation Intergroup and Mr. Sue were not so nice to The Network. Luckily, The Network was able to enlist Benjamin “Beans” Baxter Jr, Scooter, Number Two and (on occasion) Wendy O to help save the world from their ugly plans.
Don’t believe me? Watch The New Adventures of Beans Baxter coming to The FOX Network on July 18, 1987.
This shirt and lots of other shirts you never cared existed are available at Tees by LOL Productions or on the Facebook!
Upcoming Shirts – 2013 Teaser
You can file this under “Who gives a crap” in your circular filing cabinet (which I happen to know is actually your trash can), but we’ve got some amazing designs in the hopper for you!
And by you, I mean me.
It’s been a very busy fourth quarter for me and I haven’t had much time to make any non-Breaking Bad or Breaking Bad shirts but I’ve started a bunch. They all look like a mental patient scribbled them on a wall, using a crayon, using their mouth but rest assured that they will look worse by the time they go to print.
2013 is going to be the most handsome year yet!!!
Haters Gonna Swipe!
Since most of my shirts are products / places / things from shows and films, I’m never under the impression that I’ll be the only one doing a particular tee. Since I’m a video editor and not a designer or artist, I never expect I’ll be doing the most well “drawn.”
However, I never expected shirt companies to take something I’ve done and sell it as their own.
Most companies only took the bug portion of the drawing but some just sell the EXACT design.
Since I did this shirt [Vamonos Pest Control] after the first time the fictitious company was shown on Breaking Bad, I didn’t have a great source image to trace (which I do when attempting to replicate an existing element to incorporate into a design). Since I’m not a professional artist, there are some unique details in the shirt (mistakes) that no one would have intentionally done. The oddest part of this is that other people have done the bug design better than me, but their’s haven’t been appropriated.
BTW, I haven’t included any comparison images because I don’t want to increase the frequency they show up in searches, but look a the one above and imagine the exact same thing (for the the bug, at least).
Given the nature of the types of shirts I make, I’m not unaware of the irony of crying about copyright infringement when 90% of my stuff is at least inspired by another’s intellectual property but at least I have the respect to take the time to modify and alter and re-draw the element and make something different with it.
Here’s the list of companies to date that took my rendering and have been selling shirts and other items with my drawing of the drawing from the truck on the TV Show on them: Crowne Apparel, Cinefilia Camesetas, (both of whom literally used the entire design), Mean Fellas, Degenerate Clothing, Front Room Cinema, 3D Supply, Texlab, ShirtCity and Futbolk.uk.
At this point, I’ve only contacted a company about the Crowne Apparel design as they took the entire design and sell it on the same print to order shop as mine. The other one’s don’t really bother me too much, I just think they’re sort of stupid for not stealing one of the better renderings of the bug.
I’m just happy some people buy the shirts I make (for myself. first and foremost) and enjoy them.
In other news; all Breaking Bad related shirt I’ve made and will make will now also appear in their own shop at http://heisenberg.spreadshirt.com/
Another Bacon Breaking Bad Shirt!
Only one more after this, I promise. Possibly two.
Because the Birthdays just get better and better!

Dress Happy? Reasonably
Two designs in two colors so you can pick the color combo to best suit your carefully crafted life color palate like a mini Vince Gilligan.
It’s all about the Huell and the guy’s got fingers like hotdogs.
Design is by master illustrator, or millustrator, Jerome Gonia. You may know him from the fine crafted face on the Better Call Saul Tee or perhaps the glorious Box Cutter drawing. Based on a logo by a two wheeled vehicle company that shall bemain nameless.
Must love Huell! Be sure to check out Lavell Crawford’s awesome standup as well.
All the shirts are available at Tees by LOL Productions with a mess more Breaking Bad themed shirts in our Breaking Bad Homage section.
Yet Another Another Breaking Bad Shirt: Vamonos Pest Control
As a followup to last week’s Madrigal Electromotive GmbH which I didn’t feel necessitated an entire post, I present Vamonos Pest Control (which also doesn’t necessitate an entire post).
S5E3: Vamonos Pest Control
Yet Another Breaking Bad Shirt: BReakfast BAcon
S5E1: Breakfast Bacon
Heisenberg 2.0
The original Breaking Bad title slate looked all like…
So I was all…
But then just after Season 1 (or something, feel free to correct me), they was all…
So now, years later, I’m like…
Mmm, mmm Goød
Trying to Invent Memes is Desperate and Sad
Here’s mine…
Swanson Uniform Shirt
This will be no fun at all. From last night’s Parks & Recreation
ARE YOU TOUGH AS NAILS?
Would you rather sleep on a bed of pine needles than a mattress? Do you find video games pointless, and shopping malls stupid? Do you march to the beat of your own drummer? Did you make the drum yourself?
If so, you might just have what it takes to be a Swanson; Pawnee’s most hardcore outdoor club starts today. Boys and girls welcome.
Available here at the LOL shop.
Additionally, I currently offer some other TV/Film parody shirts in the Entertainment Parody Category. My Jaleeb Caru is Dead Category features a bunch of shirts that range from the silly to the absurd.
New Breaking Bad Shirt: Bee Barrel
Another new one that I put off because I thought someone did it already.
S4E10: Salud (Barrel of Bees Shirt)
When being tested by the Cartel, Jessie’s steps up the tough guy and continues to prove that he’s truly comfortable with who he is, “the bad guy.” When challenged to make a portion of the “cook” that’s usually already there Jesse confides in Gustavo saying, “Look, I get my phenylacetic acid from the barrel with the bee on it. That’s how I do it.” He then makes the Cartel chemists do it for him after calling them “asshole.”

New Breaking Bad Shirt: Box Cutter!!!!
Here’s a new shirt that I like to call “Big Gus, What’s the Fuss?” after a non-horror Troma Movie.
S4E1: Box Cutter (Gustavo Fring Utility Knife)
Available in both Light and Dark Shirt Colors.
I think I’m mostly proud of the utility knife artwork that was composed by Jerome G., artist to the stars.
Must love Gustavo. A tremendous character and while the peaceful, quiet and kind smart guy who’s also a badass Baracus isn’t new, rarely is he so well written and acted.

VIDEO: 1911 Fire via 1962 La Jette and 2010 Alice Donut
I’ve been obsessed with the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire since I was about 14 (23 years ago) and I’ve always wanted to make an experimental film about it. In college I was going to but I opted for something far less meaningful as I couldn’t and still can’t tackle any serious subject matter in any medium including talking.
I’ve seen Chris Marker’s French post-nuclear war, La Jetée tons of times. It is made (almost) entirely of static still images using almost all hard cuts with a few dissolves and voice overs in French with some muttering in German. In the last week I watched it seven times in two sessions (it’s only a half hour, but still, I was obsessing on it and thinking about it alot). I’ve been watching it lately on IFC in “HD” but it’s viewable on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClvTYd4XnEc.
I’ve been wanting to make a video for Cavalry from Alice Donut’s 10 Glorious Animals since the great album first came out. I was initially going to use footage from Medic (a 1954 NBC show starring Richard Boone) but found the footage to not fit my vision. Also, it would have taken a long time and I don’t have the luxury of doing videos that take long to create for fun. So I gave up on it.
Yesterday, I decided to combine the three in a historically partially accurate story of the Fire, in an imperfect homage to La Jette set to the somewhat relevant tune.
After hour and hour of hard labor, this is what came out.
This is not an officially sanctioned Alice Donut video and I own no rights to it, though the photos are public domain. The song is actually called Cavalry, but I thought a French title slate was necessary as the parody was unclear due to the quality of the photos, the quality of the edit and the lack of narration.
New House M.D.’s Rehab Facility Shirt
In anticipation of the upcoming and awesome looking new season of House M.D. (medical doctor in laymen’s terms), I’ve whipped up a shirt with the front door sign from where he’ll be spending time terrorizing everyone as he detoxes from over 5 seasons of pain killer abuse. Should be a laugh riot.
The T-Shirt – Available in My Shop in the Entertainment Parody Section
The Original from the new Extended Teaser
“Our favorite cantankerous, cane wielding, pill popping, super-fancy diagnostician has landed himself in rehab at the Mayfield Psychiatric Hospital. Celebrate his attempt at sobriety or express your sympathy for the staff with their entrance sign on your body.”
My Top 5 Favorite De Niro Quotes
1. Mean Streets – “…yeah. No. No, Joey Scallops is Joey Clams. He’s the one with testicles for hands.”
2. Taxi Driver – “I think someone should just take this city and just… just flush it down the fuckin’ toilet; meat-a-ball testicles and all.”
3. The Deer Hunter – “Hey, watch out, Axel. We’ll be calling him old fireballs after tonight on account of his sexy testicles and how they burn the tongue.”
4. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein – “I keep my promises. They’re right here with my testicles. This way they stay warm”
5. Meet the Parents – “I have nipples on my testicles, Greg, could you milk them?”
Honorable mention: As Louis Cyphre (don’t wanna spoil the movie, but get it?) in Angel Heart, De Niro slowly peels and eats testicles in an attempt to disturb and whet the appetite of Mickey Rourke’s Harry Angel.
New Breaking Bad Shirts
Here are a few parody shirts I made based on the wonderful AMC television show Breaking Bad. If you are interested in purchasing them please click the name of the shirt or the image and you will be directed to the Entertainment Parody product page on my shop.
Heisenberg
Influenced by the “pseudonym” of overqualified chemistry teacher, crystal meth manufacturer and current lung cancer / gang bang survivor Walter Hartwell White (played by Bryan Cranston) in the AMC series Breaking Bad, the legend of Heisenberg strikes fear into the hearts of many manly men.
Better Call Saul
Saul Goodman as seen in Breaking Bad on AMC (and played by Bob Odenkirk) is quite possibly the world’s greatest attorney of all time. Though his real name is McGill, he uses another name to sound more Jewish because, you know, “it’s all good man.”
Additionally, I currently offer shirts based on Heroes, Castle, Jaws and The Watchmen in the Entertainment Parody Category. My Jaleeb Caru is Dead Category features a bunch of shirts that range from the silly to the absurd.
Sometimes when I’m driving…
and someone is following me, real close like. I pretend that I’m those two hot babes from Cannonball Run and they’re the fuzz. I generally put on some great music like The Final Countdown, really loud for maximum awesome.
Then I drive slower so it seems like they’re gaining on me and then I go back to normal speed, but they can keep up with me because their cop car is souped up, mmm…mmmm…good.
It’s all fun and games until I end up driving into a swimming pool. Then it’s just games. One time I was stuck in the car underwater for over an hour. It was the greatest 20 minutes of my life.
My MovieTickets punto com Watchmen Review
These guys kept sending emails after I bought tickets through them for the Thursday midnight premier of The Watchmen asking for a “user review.” I won’t bore you with another unnecessarily verbose review, but suffice it to say, I loved it.
There was a ton of stuff I wish they didn’t do and a ton of stuff they didn’t do that I wished they did, but all in all it was much better than I expected (though I was a bit concerned). Anyhoo, here’s my terribly written review…
