About the Shirt

  1. Based on the famous “The only people for me are the mad ones …” quote.
  2. You may recognize the font – it’s derived from the Underwood Portable typewriter Kerouac used in his marathon, three-week writing session.
  3. I captured the image of the lone firework during the first moments of the 2010 new year while walking a beach in Florida.

Special Discount

In case you need another reason to slap this design on your chest, here’s a special 15% off coupon code good for the next 7 days until Kerouac’s birthday on Friday, March 12: “KEROUACWASHERE”

“Hitchhiking Without Thumbs”

In honor of the new Kerouac shirt, Gregor, our ever-faithful, illiterate cockroach tried his cockroachy hand at hitchhiking. If only Alabama’s finest hadn’t gotten involved…

Thanks for watching!

Coming soon! “On the Road” & “1984″

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , — Brian @ 12:10 am January 27, 2010

After a week of voting on which book we should “t-shirtize” next, a winner has emerged: “1984.” You guys gave it 16 out of the total 35 votes – that’s 46%! A clear mandate!

George Orwell

Moving right along, I’ll be working up some designs for you guys. And – here’s another first – I’m accepting designs from “challengers.” If you’re keen on design and know your way around a vector program, I want to see what you’ve got! And you could win $125! Here’s how it works:

  1. You have one week to send me your “1984″ design in .AI format and in a t-shirt mockup (brian@kafkacotton.com). That’s Tuesday, Feb 2, noon EST.
  2. The shirts will go up for voting on Wednesday, Feb 3rd for one week – most votes wins.
  3. If you win, $75 cash and $50 Kafkacotton store credit is yours!

There’s one week – get working! And pass the word along to your design friends.

Finally, look out for our “On the Road” shirt next Wednesday morning. You’ll have to wait till then to see which design got the most votes and ended up being printed (it’s gonna look good).

People of the world, I am sacrificing my book-picking monopoly at your feet!

Starting today, all the books Kafkacotton works with will be 100% picked by your votes. Every week I get a few requests to work with specific books (which is great keep them coming!) so I decided to hand over the reigns. I’m pretty excited to see where our community takes us.

Which book belongs on your chest? 1984 – George Orwell

A Perfect Day for Bananafish – J. D. Salinger

Atlas Shrugged – Ayn Rand

Cat’s Cradle – Kurt Vonnegut

It – Stephen King
Any suggestions for a cool design? (optional)

In other news -

Voting on the “On the Road” design has closed and the winning design will be released Wednesday, February 3rd. You’ll have to wait until then to see which design won.  Thanks for all the votes!

I’ll shortly be welcoming a new part-time employee from Germany named Gregor. Look out for a video next week introducing everyone’s new German friend…
