Sure am seeing the Gadsden Flag a lot lately. Must be the crowd I run with...freedom loving libertarian American hooligans.The Gadsden Flag design of a rattlesnake and the words "Don't Tread On Me" dates back to the earliest days of the American Republic. Back then people were pretty fed up with the political situation and a pissed-off rattlesnake made a fine rallying symbol. You have to figure that the resurgence of the Gadsden Flag imagery coincides with a population again fed up with the political powers.
I've adapted the Gadsden Flag design and "Don't Tread on Me" tagline on some products that I've recently listed on eBay. Check out the wristwatch, wall clock, and (maybe most appropriately) cigarette case.

Happy 4th of July
I love a painting by Edward Moran called "Unveiling the Statue of Liberty, October 28, 1886." Moran really captures the excitement of the moment as New Yorkers jumped in their boats and filled New York Harbor for the official debut of Bartholdi's Statue of Liberty.
Here for the Statue of Liberty Metal Case I've taken Moran's painting and put it on one of my metal cigarette cases. Available at my eBay store, All-4-Corners.

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.
