Timber! T-shirts: Only 161 Days until Christmas
the t-shirts…
TIMBER! t-shirts are hand-drawn and hand-screened in a garage in California. All shirts are made in the USA.
www.timberpreservationsociety.com
the beginning…
In early 2006, artist and six year screenprinter, Chad Eaton, drew a lumberjack line drawing and printed it on a few t-shirts for his own amusement. Friends began asking for them. Friends of friends began asking for them, and before he knew it, he was listing them online for sale. This became the perfect outlet for Chad’s drawings, and to Chad’s surprise, has continued to grow year after year.
the story…
All of the TIMBER! designs fit into a story that sets a conflict between lumberjacks and their bosses with forest dwellers, including bigfoot, stuck in the middle. Each design adds more to the story, and as a body of work, have created a complex mythology involving issues with environment and labor among other things.

Hey Couch Potato: 10 extreme Ways to Enjoy the Outdoors
When good weather arrives, it’s time to head outside. But what if you’re tired of the same old, tame old wilderness pursuits like hiking, biking and tent camping?

Burkman Bros. Autumn/Winter 2011 Illustrations
My life is somewhat illustrated and cartoonish at times. Burkman Bros. illustrations give me comfort to live my world with rounded edges and and sublime compositions of color. Job well done Bros.

Handpicked News 7/15: Dalai Lama White House, Apple Follow Microsoft, Janeane Garofalo, ‘Carmageddon’
‘Carmageddon‘ Could Curb Carbon Dioxide Emissions — Or Cause Them To Climb On an average July weekend, 500,000 cars drive on I-405 in the Sepulveda Pass. But this is no average weekend: Carmageddon has descended on Los Angeles. The big question is just how bad it will get — particularly whether spooked Angelenos will stay off the highways and keep to their own neighborhoods, or perhaps take buses and subways instead. If that happens, maybe this weekend’s repair work could help avert climate catastrophe. HuffPost asked experts at University of California, Berkeley for some back-of-the-envelope calculations on what it could all mean for California’s carbon emissions.

Janeane Garofalo Compares Marcus Bachmann to Roy Cohn Garofalo says Marcus
Bachmann “seems very gay” to her but hastens to add that’s not a criticism and she’s certain the “gay community would not like to claim him as one of their own.” She goes on to say that he, like many people who are vehemently antigay, seems to be dealing with “personal demons.” She likens Bachmann to Cohn, saying “going after whatever your inner demon is and then the whole culture is dragged down with you.” Olbermann adds Haggard’s name as apt comparison and Garofalo agrees.
