Robert E Lee Belt Buckle

Having fun these days designing some belt buckles to complement the watches and clocks. I find that I can explore some different topics on buckles than on watches. I think maybe its just the different "canvas" that lends itself to different designs.
Here's a Robert E Lee Belt Buckle I worked up for eBay sales. I've incorporated some old wood engraving art and given it the look of scrimshaw on ivory. I think it came out pretty nice, and lord knows I have lots of old line-art that would work very well with such a treatment.

Pants Falling Down? Cool Belt Buckles!

One of the products that Artsnow will produce and dropship are custom belt buckles. Figured I'd give some a try. I'm not sure what the upside monetarily is on cool belt buckles. I don't think there's as much mark-up possible as other jewelry items. I figure I'll start them at 7.99 and see where they go.
I'll admit it...my Band Geek roots run deep. My first belt buckle for sale on eBay...the Mod Tuba Belt Buckle...get one now and amaze the rest of the low brass: "Dude! Where'd you get that cool tuba belt buckle? Could I get one with a trombone?" You can just hear the jealousy, hoot!
Here's the cool belt buckles I rolled out yesterday...beside the tuba buckle there's a Drum Set buckle, a Beethoven buckle and a Woodsy Owl belt buckle. Any kind of sales success on these and I'll roll out some more.

Vintage Video Store Fashion

A poem...

Back in the Day
Before the Blu-Ray
Considerate and Kind
Would always Rewind


This is something I just uploaded to RetroRanger...the Be Kind Rewind t-shirt.

All We Are Saying, is Give Pizza Chance

One of our favorite new shirts at RowdyTease is the "Give Pizza Chance" t-shirt. I know personally after a day on the Mall demonstrating for Peace in Our Time I am famished and can't wait to dive into a deep dish of love and happiness...hold the anchovy.

Scout 80 Butt Kicking


I love the old International Harvester Scout 80s. I've never owned one but a good friend of mine back in high school had one and it was awesome. Just a beast out in the wild.

I've worked up a watch face featuring different color vehicles, also clock faces. These will be for eBay sales. The Blue Scout 80 is to the left and then some variations.







Red Scout 80









Black Scout 80

Kosovo Tee

I've been working hard on designing watches and clocks for eBay sales and haven't been putting much effort into the various Cafepress stores. But they seem to be chugging along fine without me which is very cool.
Anyway, hearing on the news this morning that Kosovo had declared its independence from Serbia prompted me to upload a new Free Kosovo t-shirt design to RowdyTease. As you know, I'm all in favor of anything free, even when I don't know what I'm talking about.
