The BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has our panties in a  bunch.   Our frustration with the massive disaster caused by this short-sighted corporation came spewing out in a design session earlier this month… and the result was this mashup logo (with apologies to Sherwin Williams). 

Mashup BP Logo benefits charity

This image will be available on t-shirts at our booth at San Diego Comic-Con International July 22-25, 2010  They are also available for order on our website.

We will be donating 5% of our sales of this shirt to The Nature Conservancy
to aid in their Gulf recovery efforts.

Sometimes you just have to express yourself in watever medium at hand.

It’s Gay Pride week and we thought it was a fitting time to show off this 2009 t-shirt design:

A twist on the classic Evolution of Man illustration

This Humerus take on the classic “Evolution of Man” was inspired by our own “Evolution of Zombie Man” image. (you knew I hand to mention Zombie here somewhere…

It’s currently available at http://humerus-store.com/evofmentsh.html

In the midst of  all our preparations for San Diego Comic-Con International I’m flashing back (oh so far back) to 2006 – our f irst Comic-Con.   

If you’ve ever been to San Diego for the premier pop culture event of the year you know how huge and overwhelming the massive  show can be.  In the summer of 2006 we were just starting to become Humerus and had only 1 shirt designed.  We went to Comic-con to road test our idea. 

Our First Humerus Design

There was no time to make an official appearance , but we did get shirts printed and walked around the floor with the only 4  Zombie Nixon for President shirts we had. 

That was our learning year.   In 2007 we had more designs, had some smaller shows under our belt, but couldn’t get a booth at the incredibly popular Comic-Con.    Again we walked the floor in our shirts – talking them up to people, handed out flyers.  

The Godfather of all Zombies says "These are Fantastic!"

We caught the attention of George Romero who paid us a great compliment - He reviewed our product sheet and said “These are Fantastic!”  I’m still proud of that undocumented quote.

Our first Comic-Con booth was rockin!

They said it couldn’t be done, but last year,  thanks to a last minute  opportunity we got in!   We expanded our line even more – and the crowd responded!  We were the Zombie booth – with the big hit t shirt of the show - our Caution Zombie Crossing t shirt.  Four rockin’ days of hanging out on the floor talking Zombie Humor with Zombie fanatics from all walks of life!  We had a great time and were thrilled with the reaction to our stuff!

Now 2009 Comic-Con is almost here… (gulp) we’ve got a booth and we’ve got a lot to do…   new stuff coming soon!  I’ll keep blogging updates as the date approaches!

It’s been said many times, many ways… Change is a comin to these here United States…   We’ve elected Barack Obama – the first computer literate president!   This could be a new kind of President, President 2.0 or the iBama if you will. 

He campaigned on Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, he’s addicted to his Blackberry, and not only has an iPod, but uses it!

In a Rolling Stone interview this summer Obama revealed what is on his ipod… Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Rolling Stones, Elton John, Earth Wind And Fire, Coltrane, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Howlin’ Wolf, Yo-Yo Ma, Sheryl Crow, Jay-Z

It’s kind of exciting to have a President that is connected to the people…  President Elect Obama has already started his weekly radio address… only he’d doing it on video on YouTube.com

We here at Humerus we were  trying to get Zombie JFK or Zombie Reagan in the Oval office, but this is good too.   We’re retiring those old Zombie President designs in favor of this new change… we welcome The Era of iBama.
