Abro Unblisted

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Abro Unblisted: withdrawal
internal pressure: What do they think of my sudden withdrawal?
external behavior: Conversation bounces off of you like pebbles. You keep making motions like you’re about to leave and probably look like you need to vomit.
act: Acknowledge outloud that you’re having a reaction. Promise to update those around you when you’ve unraveled your feelings. Then excuse yourself. This may put the conversation in the direction you need to go. If not, give yourself permission to leave.

Miko

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Miko: anxious behavior
internal pressure: What do they think about my anxious behavior?
external behavior: Overly watchful for indications from others that they notice that you’re anxious.
act: Ask others, directly, if they’ve noticed your anxious behavior. Be specific, down to the exact twitches you’ve had. They may not have noticed at all, or may have been interpreting your discomfort incorrectly.

Greejis

Greejis: confidence
Internal pressure: What do they think about my confidence levels?
external behavior: Ask question to clarify what people think and you won’t need confidence to act - you’ll have information.

Here’s Ben in a Greejis shirt - notice the warning sign to all those who come near his guns, which are forbidden beyond that point.

Eeging

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

Here’s the amazing Mark Brown modeling Eeging:

Eeging: needy
internal pressure: What do they think about my need for attention?
external pressure: Hesitation sharing stories that cast you in a good light, hesitation in talking to people you’re attracted to.
act: Acknowledge your need for attention in some way. This will shake people up and help you determine if it’s even worth your time seeking their attention at all.

Please Send Pics of You Wearing Garrett Shirts

Friday, April 11th, 2008

I think I’m pretty hot. I’m lucky that my wife does too. But I have a sense that GarrettShirts could be a lot more aesthetically interesting if I’m not the only person modeling my designs.

Do you have any pics of you wearing Garrett shirts?

If not, do you have any Garrett shirts?

If so then will you take a picture or two and send them to me?

I have a new tshirt project and I’d like to send you my latest design in exchange for hooking me up with your pic! Send2: gfrench@gmail.com.

Thank you!

North Carolina Design

Friday, April 11th, 2008

My wife (you probably know her as Roxy Rockett) designed this simple and highly wearable design of the state of North Carolina. You don’t have to take this shirt off and spin it around your head like a helicopter… you’re already representing hard enough just by putting it on.

Chemistry TShirt

Friday, April 11th, 2008

Kristin designed this shirt for her sister, Colleen Munro-Leighton who’s studying for her PHD in chemistry at NCState. This represents a molecule that Colleen made. I can’t pronounce it but it does have the phrase “nac-nac” in it which makes it a favorite amongst friends and family. This shirt blew my brains in terms of its detail and fine cutting skills.

Here’s the text on the back, hand cut from a computer print out:

Wow! Nice work Kristin.

This is a design by Kristin Munro-Leighton.

Here are some of Colleen’s publications:
2. “Anti-Markovnikov Michael Addition Reactions of Amines and Alcohols Catalyzed by Well-Defined Cu(I) Anilido, Ethoxide and Phenoxide Systems” Munro-Leighton, C., Blue, E. B., Gunnoe, T. B.* J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 1446-1447.

1. “Cleavage of X-H Bonds (X = N, O, or C) by Cu(I) Alkyl Complexes to Form Monomeric Two-Coordinate Cu(I) Systems” Goj, L. A., Blue, E. B., Munro-Leighton, C., Gunnoe, T. B.*, Petersen, J. L. Inorg. Chem. 2005, 44, 8647-8649.

4 Dimension Cube

Friday, April 11th, 2008

Emily Saltzman designed this shirt - inspired by a math class at Warren Wilson. She cut the original stencil out of a brown paper bag if I remember correctly.

If you look at it right you can see the multi-dimensional cubes built around each other in some wonderful geometrical goodness.

Rhubarb Pie Shirt

Friday, April 11th, 2008

Arlyce Menzies drew this image, but I think I cut it… and her brother came up with it. His girlfriend challenged him to change his pessimistic outlook on life and so he asked for help making a shirt that showed one of the things in life that he really really likes.

I think it’s a wonderful design!

Pigu Soccer Team Shirt

Friday, April 11th, 2008

Over the years Kristin has given me a shirt or two that I especially admired. This one faded so wonderfully and it’s on a nice royal blue shirt that’s kind of thick but really really soft. She gave it to me, lucky me!

Here’s the front:

And the back:
