Inspiration born from drudgery!

After years of suffering through a 9-5 job, I decided to do something about the mind numbing boredom that invaded my life every day.  I have a good job, it pays well and the people I work with are great.  BUT, (yeah, there's always a but) I need to have greater challenges and more creative outlets.  I've always been an artist, a writer, a dreamer, storyteller and one to get lost in imagination.  That's the great part about being alive.  There is always a way to envision the world as something better, something new, something great.

My brother and I jumped into a tshirt design business.  Yeah, we're totally inexperienced, but so what.  Learning is half the fun, and besides, who wants a company meant to help with self expression being run by some corporate stuffed shirt or some really old or out of touch fuddy duddies?  Not me.  I'm not out to insult or hurt anyone, just come up with designs that catch your attention, make you think, or laugh, cringe, or snicker.  So yeah, there will be some shameless self promotion, but it's all in good fun.  I figure if we can all have fun coming up with designs and sayings for tshirts we'd all want to wear, why not.

Life is too short to waste and too long to waste time on boring drudgery.  I know this new company will be a LOT of work, but I'm hoping it will be a lot of fun too.  You only live once, and I'm going to make as much out of it as possible.

So, I'll post a new design up each week or so for comment or critique and we can have fun talking about it or coming up with an even better one.  So here is the very first one we came up with.  We call it Banana Dynamite.  It's totally silly but it was fun making it.  Those bananas are totally hand drawn as is the fuse.  If you check out the design screen on myeccentrictees.com, you'll be able to see even more detail.  Okay, so what do you think?
