OK, so maybe that header is a bit harsh. There’s a new iPhone app called Urban Signals. If you go to the proprietary site, you’ll get a cutesy little demo video of how it works; it basically turns your cell phone into a GPS device that helps point out other single-and-looking folks. At first blush I thought this was way creepy, but then I paused and thought about it and realized that since it’s an opt-in subscriber-driven app, the only people who will show up on your phone’s UI are exactly like you (editorially speaking). So it’s a lot like a less web 1.0 version of Craig’s List’s “Missed Connections” board, with the possibility of a “Casual Encounter” thrown in. So…still creepy, but vaguely consensual.

That said, I could see this blowing up in the faces of the creators of the app when the resulting network is comprised of a) an army of Comic Book Guys pinging b) a much smaller army of kind of cute girls with no self-esteem.

OK, so the month isn’t exactly “new” at this point, but it’s new enough to mention its newness in conjunction with my new art. We got a ton of snow (not really, but a fair amount for Baltimore) last weekend, so I spent the time indoors churning out some new stuff.

First, there’s our super-cool “Mod” design, featuring the iconic Royal Air Force roundel in a stylish distressed treatment:

Then, we have a new addition to our Bromance line, this time featuring the fine sport of American football. I’m really excited by this line, because sports are sooo homoerotic, the possibilities are just endless. The next thing you know, Ex-Boyfriend will sell nothing but tees featuring dude in spandex slapping each others’ asses.

There’s the continuation of our mean shapes line, which we’ll continue to add to as the insults come to us…

Also, feel free to express love of yourself and New England with this cute new tee. Let everyone you meet know who really calls the shots!

We also decided to dust off an older concept and re-design it—check out our flirty new Intramural Cougar Hunter tee! For similar intramural re-designs, look up our Time Traveler, Cuddler, and Supervillain tees.

Finally, turn the tables on all the Michael Scott wannabe’s in your life and sport this new design while telling the latest crass joke you heard at the water cooler.

That’s it for this week, but check back soon (really. Like, next-week-soon) for more new designs!
