Old BK Coffee T-shirt

Back in the winter of 2022, my buddy, who runs the coffee shop COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE in Cleveland, OH and I decided to work up an old sketch we thought would be a funny t-shirt for his shop. We originally joked about doing this prior to covid shutting everything down but, now the time has come. 

At the moment, the shirt is up for PRESALE through the month of September and if you check out his instagram: @oldbkcoffee he is currently offering 3 people the chance to win a shirt for free along with a $50 gift card. Shirt comes in a color version for $40 (pictured above) and a B&W version for $30 (pictured below) and are available in S, M, L and XL.  Link below to place your preorder.

COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE / PHILLYCREEMCHEESE Collab

Hello internet people! Back before we started living in this new COVID-19 reality, I was working on a t-shirt design for my good friend and small business owner, Trey Kirchoff. Trey runs a coffee shop called COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE in Cleveland, OH and like so many people I know, has taken a tremendous hit from this pandemic. His staff has been laid off, and the shop doors are closed indefinitely. Trey is running a fundraiser on his website to help keep the shop rent paid until they can reopen and my shirt is listed as one of the items up for sale. It's a bummer we couldn't release this the way we planned with the new menu item but this will serve a greater purpose at this moment in time. As a bonus to purchasing the t-shirt Trey will throw in one of my Rat Ripper enamel pins with each purchase, while supplies last. 

This is a very scary time for small businesses in our country. Most of these places operate on a shoestring budget and having no income while being forced to pay their rent in full is showing how easily all these business can be wiped out. I know a lot of us don't have much extra to spare at this time but if you can,  please purchase something from any small business that is still able to ship orders or has a fundraiser or gift card option set up. It's on us at the moment to help preserve these places until this is over. I've included a pic of the shirt below and the link to donate to the fundraiser is HERE!

Gimme! Coffee: Birthdays and Cats

Gimme! Coffee on Lorimer St. in Williamsburg, Brooklyn turned 16 on January 3rd and in honor of the big day I drew up a lil' something for their marquee and an a-frame to let all the people on the street know how much they were appreciated. It's pretty insane to think they've made it 16 years in this neighborhood. Not much of looks how it used to and it definitely doesn't feel the way it once did but it's nice to see some of the old guard still hanging in there. They are also donating a portion of their bean sales from this quarter to the ASPCA and Bushwick Street Cats so I got another chance to draw up some cats for their a-frame. Not neon ones this time however.
