Statue of liberty die cut stickers are back!


The Statue of Liberty die cut stickers are available and the best part is that some of them will be thrown into the sticker packs you order. Either way these are great vinyl stickers that are very durable. Die cut stickers are always stunningly fresh and this popular design is one I am happy to bring back again.

Listen to your heart stickers now available



Happy Valentine's Day, Everyone! I wanted to let you know that the classic "Listen to your heart" design is now in sticker form. It's a cool little 3 inch wide sticker that is great to stick on cool services. I actually stuck one on my sketchbook, before I started this post.

It's a great piece of art, but I'm selling this raise money for the American Heart Association. My girlfriend always participates in the Heartwalk for a very good reason, since heart disease and stroke is in the family. I don't want to air out her business, but it's not any different from my family. What really knocks you down is seeing someone who's in fantastic shape get all bent out, because of some heart related disease. It really makes you step back and just look at life and see what really is important. It's also inspiring to see people who won't quit, because of some damn stroke or heart condition. The stickers may be a small contribution, but it's something I feel strongly about. I want to do my small part to help reduce death and disability from cardiovascular diseases and stroke. There's another cause that I'm going be behind as well, but right now it's perfect to share this with you on a day where hearts are an icon.  I'm hoping these will fly out, so I can continuously make more to donate the proceeds to. Regardless this is still stunningly fresh sticker.

Mother - Digital Monster video



As some of you may remember, I've worked with the band Mother helping them with the album art and  supporting them. They have a new music video out and it's worth checking out, because you may be a new fan of theirs.

Soletron posts about Branded Baron


The good people at Soletron featured Branded Baron not too long ago and it was well written. I'm glad the writer, Eleven8 mentioned the "Land of the Greed" tee. The feature was a good one and I'm always grateful that Soletron still features Branded Baron. Soletron is a fresh blog that covers a variety of topics from fashion to sports to music to technology, you get the idea. You can read the feature here.

Something to ponder-George Carlin


Hello Everyone,
      This blogpost is something that I came across and was written by my favorite comic, George Carlin. I was lucky to see him perform live and his observations were definitely something were listening to. Funny, but it made you think. 

      The written content that I was written from George Carlin was definitely different than his routine. George Carlin's wife died early in 2008 and George followed her, dying in July 2008. It is ironic George Carlin could write something so very eloquent and so very appropriate. This observation by George Carlin is worth reading, because we need to step back and really see what is valuable in our lives. The phrase goes, "the older you get, the wise you get", so I think it's worth listening to what a 71 year old George Carlin had to say, since I don't doubt he experienced a lot while he was on this planet. Below is what he wrote:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.

Remember to spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

And always remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by those moments that take our breath away.

George Carlin
