Check out this Mortal Kombat short I caught today. It's directed by Kevin Tancharoen, the director of last year's fame with fight choreography by Larnell Stovall. The short was created to test fan reactions to a possible R-rated movie in the future. I think it's pretty sick. If you don't agree, well then...shut up.

Let The Printing Begin
Aaron and I left Leesburg, VA around 10am this morning with fresh snow on the ground and headed south on Rt 7 to drop off our blank shirts at Studio One Screen Printing in Sterling, VA. It was windy as hell and cold as crap but I didn't notice cause we were about to print our first new designs in quite a while. This has been a long time coming. It hasn't been that long but if feels like we're born-again t-shirt virgins.
These designs were well worth the wait. This afternoon I came up to take some pics to show off the process of what it takes to bring a Rogue Squirrel design to life. I couldn't stop smiling over the excellent job our Studio One buddies did. The designs turned out exactly the way I had envisioned them.
Like I said before, this is a limited release. 50 shirts. That's it.
The shirts will be released soon, and when they are, there will be no question.

New Year New Gear
You like how I did that, with the rhyming and the thing?We've got a special delivery from Alstyle, our blank shirt provider. I say "special" because even a box of unprinted shirts is exciting to us. It's like a new canvas to a painter. Starting late last year we started using Alstyle for our blanks. We've noticed that they are best and most cost effective shirt which allows us to print shirts that are more comfortable and provide you with a better price.
Also you'll notice
that we are printing in more limited quantities. You could call it being more efficient and controlling. Printing less/better shirts lets us control the quality of the shirt as a whole and makes it more personals since we see everyshirt, I'll probably be able to remember when each is sent out like a baby bird leaving the nest. Well, it's not that intense but it does leave us with a more "fine art" style shirt, more artistic, more sincere and less capitalistic. Hopefully you will notice that too as we refine our craft and provide a better product.When we started out, we were brand new to the shirt printing business. We knew what we wanted to do, and by trial and error and risk-taking we've gotten to a point where we are extremely confident in our ability to offer a shirt that is hands down, one of the best in a very saturated t-shirt market.
Hope you like the taste of what is to come because we're ready to start the new year off with a bizzity bang!

2009 We Hardly Knew Ye, or Wanted Too...
If the decade was the NFL and years were coaches, 2009 would be Jim Zorn. He was put in an impossible situation, it just so happened that he couldn't really do anything about it. The state of the economy is Daniel Snyder, poor 2009 was merely a innocent quarterback coach from Seattle, Washington. Yet 2009 gets the blame and everyone will remember 2009 as a crappy year.
So, let's look forward to 2010. A year with endless possibilities. I personally plan to achieve every single one of my goals this year. I'm setting the bar too low. That's been my biggest problem. Staying organized. Now that's a great new years resolution. Small potatoes if you ask me. You'll organize all of your junk then in a few months you'll be on the show Hoarders and in danger of eviction. Aim higher! Set your goals so high that simply attempting to achieve them, you'll complete some of the lesser goals on the way up.
Rogue Squirrel believes in the power of love. As the great Heuy Lewis once said, "don't take money, don't take fame, don't take no credit card to ride this train, blah blah blah, it might just save your life. It's the power of love." We love our shirts. Our shirts are much like animals in a shelter. If you don't buy/adopt them, we have to put them down. We smuggled in a barrel of that stuff from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, that is used to kill toons. We call it "the Dip". The only thing that can destroy a t-shirt.
Right or wrong, everything in this email is from my own memory of the spelling and facts of WFRR and Mr. Lewis and the News as I am too lazy to look up song lyrics and movie facts. In no way does this reflect the work ethic of Rogue Squirrel or it's subsidiaries.
