  • Kicking Off a New LBB Design at Cotton Bureau

    Calling all football fans: I’ve designed the perfect shirt for your Sunday football watching. Thank God for Sundays is my latest design for Cotton Bureau – a rad Pittsburgh-based company. Cotton Bureau did an amazing job printing my Red, White & Blue tee and I have every confidence that they’ll do the same this time around. Awesome design + great-feeling shirt = WIN WIN!

    Here’s how Cotton Bureau works:

    1: This design will be live on Cotton Bureau’s site for a two-week pre-order period.

    2: If a total of 12 people pre-order the shirt, Cotton Bureau will print and ship it to you.

    3: If for some reason, we don’t hit the 12 order mark, you won’t pay a dime and this glorious design won’t get printed by Cotton Bureau (queue the sad trombone sound effect)

    Place your pre-order today and let’s get this design across the goal line!


  • New LBB Tee on Cotton Bureau: Red, White & Blue

    I’m excited to announce that I’ve taken the dive into the wonderful world of Cotton Bureau with a brand new design called Red, White & Blue.

    Cotton Bureau is not your average t-shirt company. Here’s how they operate:

    1: This design will be live on Cotton Bureau’s site for a two-week pre-order period.

    2: If a total of 12 people pre-order the shirt, Cotton Bureau will print and ship it to you.

    3: If for some reasons, we don’t hit the 12 tee mark, you won’t pay a dime and this glorious design won’t get printed by Cotton Bureau (queue the sad trombone sound effect)

    It’s as simple as that. I’m optimistic that with the help of LBB fans, Red, White & Blue will crush the 12 tees sold mark.

    Please share this awesomely American design on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. Thanks for your support and stay tuned for future updates about this shirt!

  • Freebie Friday – Rugged Vector Border

    TGIFF! Sorry I missed last week’s installment of Freebie Friday but I think you’ll enjoy this week’s free design resource. This rugged border (available in .ai vector format) is perfect for adding a rough half-inch edge around an 11″ x 17″ art print. If you work in Photoshop, you could easily convert this to a brush as well.

    Download the rugged vector border  and check out the sample 11″ x 17″ print below.

    P.S.- Happy Valentine’s Day to all you love birds!

  • Freebie Friday – Funktone #1

    TGIF, everyone! This week, I wanted to do something a little different for Freebie Friday.

    In addition to being a graphic artist, I also love music. And while the design side of Lunchboxbrain has been humming along nicely, I’m planning on pushing out some more music-related projects. To that end, I’m excited to release Funktone #1 – a fun and funky ringtone (available in MP3 format) for your personal use.

    If you’re not sure how to set Funktone #1 as your ringtone, try searching WikiHow.

    Take a listen and download Funktone #1 today!
