It’s time for some new art, and today’s designs are especially exciting because one of them is part of our brand new guest artist program. Remember Melinda? She created this very awesome masterpiece and we’re selling it right here on Ex-Boyfriend!

Those who hang around here regularly know I’m no stranger to poking fun at religion, so Melinda’s fun with nuns was a perfect addition to the offerings around here. I might be featuring other awesome artists in the coming months. This guest artist thing is a new experiment. If you’re an illustrator and you’re interested in working with me, let me know.

I also have new art by yours truly. Check it out (this design is also on tees, hoodies and messengers of course):

Lastly, remember my post about the new boozy dietary supplement Drinkwel? The very awesome founder of Drinkwel has offered to send over a sample so I can report first hand on this scientific miracle. I have a feeling I’m going to have lots of good material for upcoming Thirsty Thursdays.

I’ll let you know where I’m planning to decimate my liver this week in case you care to stalk me around Baltimore and maybe try to steal the clothes off my back.

I finally got around to getting some new art online. Apologies for the lack of new designs, it’s been a busy summer. Below are the newest creations. I hope you dig them:

In other Ex-Boyfriend’ish news, Fall is coming! To keep you warm and stylish I’m looking into ordering some long sleeved tees. For the guys, I’m looking at American Apparel’s 4.3 oz cotton long sleeve jersey. For the ladies, I’m look at Bella’s 3.5 oz cotton long sleeve crew neck jersey. Both are fairly light weight cotton and nice for layering. Let me know what your interest level is like and if I get some good feedback I’ll make these available. If you know of some better blank or have other comments, let me know below, or just reply to the poll below.

In the meantime, here’s what the blanks I’m considering look like:

I worked on some new illustrations over the weekend, both in the realm of word play and both featuring creepy characters. First up: Zombie Boyfriends Bite

Next up: Web Surfing is Dangerous

I’ve been designing lots of new shirts lately. Below are two of the newest ones:

Also, we now have tote bags! They’re perfect for the beach, overnights and of course as reusable grocery totes. (Guys: Let’s be honest, tote bags that look manly are few and far between. If we’re lucky they’ve got some tomatoes on them and if we’re not they’re pink and covered in flowers, right? The new totes collection is chock full of manly designs featuring stuff like hammers, Bigfoot and zombies. MAN STUFF!)

We’ve listed a bunch of overstock items on Etsy. You can peruse them here. Items are 40% off or more. Help us clean up our studio and take our overstock items off our hands?

After spending the last few weeks inundated with unhappy emails from international customers, I’ve changed our shipping methods so we have a little more assurance that our international packages will actually arrive at their destinations. Until now we’d been using first class mail, which is inexpensive but offers no tracking. Some of our orders were arriving more than a month after we shipped them. A few never arrived at all

So starting today, we are shipping all orders to Canada via FedEx Ground. All orders going outside the US and Canada will be shipped via International Priority (which also offers package tracking). These two shipping services were the least expensive options we were able to find that came with package tracking. I realize they’re not as cheap as our old prices but it also means you’ll actually get your order in a much more timely fashion.

If you’re outside the US and looking to save on shipping, we are offering FREE shipping to ALL destinations on orders over $149.00. No coupon required, no expiration date on this offer. So share our website with your friends and see if they want to go in on an order with you. Or order a tee for every day of the week; summer will be here before you know it.

When I started printing t-shirts there was one major quandary: to American Apparel or not to American Apparel. About half the t-shirt buying public loves this brand and the other half hates it. Both sides have totally legit arguments for their feelings and I knew no matter what brand of blank tee I picked someone would complain. So starting today, I’m offering both!

I am starting this off with just a men’s collection, which I’m calling the slim fit line. The difference between a traditional fit mens tee and an American Apparel mens tee are pretty substantial. Our ladies tees, which are made by Bella, are pretty similar in terms of fabric feel and fit to American Apparel and a million other blank ladies tees.

So if you’re a super skinny guy looking for a slim fit tee, have at it. If you’re an avid hater of Dov Charney you can still order our traditional mens tees.

I am also shopping around for some new good stuff to add to our line so stay tuned for upcoming product launches in the next couple of months. If there’s something you wish we’d start printing on, let me know.

Just a quick note to let you all know we picked a favorite comment for December:

“*GrumbleGrumbleGrumble* At this rate, I’d rather be a handbag! ”
-Damaris wrote in response to Title This Tuesday: This is Why Alligators Hate Kids

Keep your entertaining comments coming, we’ll pick a new winner at the end of January.

Also, I designed a new tee for the Valentine fans:

It’s no secret that Baptist evangelical Freddie Gage’s All My Friends Are Dead sermon LP has spawned a lot of homages and parodies over the years. I had initially thought about doing this design “straight”, using an actual historical figure. But the wife made a suggestion last night (after I had already completed the design, as is often the case) that maybe a zombie might be a better subject. After my customary tantrum at having to scrap hours of work, I got started on the revision. It turns out she was right (as is often the case.)

We’ve finally created a Flickr account so now all our stylish fans can share photos of themselves in Ex-Boyfriend gear. If you’ve already got pics of yourself wearing Ex-Boyfriend on your Flickr account, you can just add your photos to our pool.

If you don’t have a Flickr account account but still wanna get your pictures posted please use this handy form and we’ll post your pictures for you.
