Not Quite a Newsletter: The Goodies Edition

2026-07-30


Hello.

Nothing much has happened this month. It's summer. That's the update.

Okay, one thing. I finally landed on an Instagram bio. After a lot of back and forth I've settled on this... for now:

Screen-printed goodies for the Not Quite Famous.

Yes, I make goodies. You're welcome for my restraint in not going with something worse. Like swag.

Also, I've been testing new blanks for my tees. Apparently, screen-printers call plain t-shirts "blanks" until they "decorate" them. Then they become merch, swag, streetwear or, in my case, goodies. While I've been impressed with the tees from Everybody.World — recycled cotton and made in LA — lots of folk really love Comfort Colors tees (owned by the giant Gildan). They're cheaper, softer, and not made in the US; so I'm still weighing my options.

To test one out, I printed this sad, little cracked pot on a butter yellow blank. I've been calling this little plant Philo since it's inspired by Milo from the Descendents. However, my focus group (kids) have argued I should rename it Harry POT-ter. I did not ask for this. But I get it. Yes, that crack looks like a lightning bolt. What do you think?

More donut tees printing soon. And potentially a small run of "Homage to the Circle" tees but I'm not sure if that idea has any legs yet.

Talk soon, Andy
