The WOEBOT T-Shirt
Remember my piece on legendary sleeve designer Dave Nodz? As it happened Dave did Google his own name and popped up in the comments box of that very post. As well as getting a fine interview from him, I couldn't resist the opportunity to commission him to design a T-shirt for WOEBOT. It turned out to be an expensive process.
Firstly there was Dave's not insubstantial fee; legends don't work for nowt. Also this had to be a top quality cotton garment (they're the same ones Stussy use) and the design couldn't be some iron-on rubbish (they've been indelibly screen-printed). I got my pal Laurent at Bread and Honey to supervise the production. I've worked out I'll need to sell eighty-three of the hundred just to break even. But 'tis a noble thing to behold!
WOEBOT has been running at practically full-tilt for four years now (I'm factoring into that one year of starting threads at Dissensus). I know my comments boxes are quiet, stymied by the tedious Movable Type verification process, but I prefer it that way, they're a space for people who feel they really need to leave a remark. My Technorati profile isn't that impressive either. You might infer that WOEBOT is enjoyed by the select few, and that my spoiling away is something I do for my own benefit. One peek at the WOEBOT stats ought to dispel that. If 1,400 of you are coming here every day, and 20,000 every month then, to say nothing of the goodwill generated by the hundreds of CDs I've posted to folks, (now sweating profusely) I ought to be able to shift a handful of T-shirts. Otherwise I'll be wearing them myself for the next thirty five years.....

I'm taking a break for a couple of months, I have some stuff I need to do. But I guarantee I will be back early in the New Year. In the meantime make me happy and buy a T-shirt.
