DIFFERENT IS BAD
Artist Interview: BootsBoots
Resident Tee Nerd Statement
This shirt is perfect for: trips to Applebees; Nickelback and American Idol concerts; reading a Dan Brown novel; painting your kitchen beige; scrapbook nights; the midnight premiere of Twilight; standing in line on Black Friday; voting a straight party line ticket; or while sitting at home on diversity day. It's not recommended for Taco Bell, though. They might ask you to think outside the bun.
Welcome back, Boots! Normally I ask what's new since we've last seen our artists, but in honor of this design, what's the same?
Those fifteen tardis shirts that I bought this year. Everyone seems to like them.
We all know that different is bad and should be avoided, so I ask you: what do you think is good and worth seeking out?
Meatloaf. Both the dinner and the musician.
How can we avoid different? Are there medications to take or wrong-sides-of-the-street to avoid?
Just do what everyone else is doing. Like in that Dr. Seuss story where all the cats hold up each other's tails (so they don't get dirty) and walk around in a line. Ignore the part where the last cat in the line refuses to do it, and throws down the other cat's tail though. He was a jerk.
I'd like to ask you a few old questions you've already answered: First, let’s talk influences. What and who inspires you, and is there any influence we’d be surprised by?
Vanilla ice cream, unsalted saltines, the weather channel...
Second, do you have any New Year’s Resolutions for 2011?
To watch Doctor Who. I hope to finally understand the meaning behind all those tardis shirts that I own.
Third, are there any projects you’re currently working on that you’re really excited about?
I'm cleaning out the garage right now. I'm also needle-pointing one of those "Home Sweet Home" thingies.
Finally, give us a piece of advice to live by. Preferably one that isn't on this shirt.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Schlemeel! Schlemazel! Hasenfeffer incorporated! We're gonna do it.

Thanks to Tilteed (and Adder!) for printing this one. It’s a design that I love, and I can’t think of any other site that would take a chance on printing it. You guys are the best.

For some reason I had to have this shirt….it’s so compelling.
