This was an assignment for the Super MOOC course Gender Through Comics, led by Christina Blanch. It was a great class and loaded with a bunch of clever, creative and insightful individuals. Also, some really great interviews with leading talent took place.

Total Ellipse of the Heart would’ve been ok too.

Available at the LOL or Heisenberg Tee Shops.

[Available in the Entertainment Parody Section of Shirt Shop]

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.

Named after flat-bottomed Viking ships, this fragrance has been appealing to the dark and sinister side of masculine sexual fantasies since 1982.

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!

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!!!

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/

Because the Birthdays just get better and better!

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.

S5E3: Vamonos Pest Control

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…

All Jaleeb Caru’s Breaking Bad Homage Shirts

In his 1989 review of Dream a Little Dream he noted it as being a clear violation of the Stanton-Walsh Rule.  I believe he said the same of Wild Wild West, at which point I’m fairly certain it has ceased to be a rule.

One time, one summer, they were getting rid of shirts for post price only and I sent them Two Dollars and they sent one and it never got here.  Then they were all like, “sorry.”  Then after the eighteenth email, they stopped taking my calls.

Cut to today (that’s right, I’m Joe Hollywood so I can talk like that), they get these great new shirts in stock that they will only be selling at shows.  Shows that will not be in the greater NY area because apparantly they can travel to Russia like they’re rich and fancy but cannot grace teh America with their brand of Atomic Age New Wave leaving Man or Astroman? to maintain their monopoly now that they killed Servotron with their bear hands.

Now I love shirts only available at performances on account of them being rare and more important, but I was unable to be a big enough person not to blog the shit out of this shirt shit.  But fact is, if you want something done poorly, you have to do it yourself.

And so I did.  I did something else…myself.

ALSO AVAILABLE IN BLACK!

Swanson Uniform Shirt

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.”
