Holiday Memories

admin — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 02:13:18 +0000

This Christmas was a blast. Liam fully embraced the holiday spirit and especially loved his elf on the shelf “Bo-be”. Enjoy the snapshots. Hopefully next year will be holly jollier.

Oh Christmas tree...

Ba-hum-pug!

'Tis the season for a bro-tastic get together.

The boy's first car.

Think Big

No, not Big starring Tom Hanks. Not, the infamous Brooklyn boss Notorious BIG. Not late 80′s/early 90′s rock group Mr. Big. Not old school wrestler Bam Bam BIGelow.

I’m talking about LBB BIG. I’m stepping things up BIG in 2012 and hope that you’ll enjoy all of the BIG things to come.

Go Green!

Right now, as you read this, there’s a really cool throwback challenge put forth by Jake Nickell going on at Threadless blogs. I suggest you check it out and whilst doing so, leave a shoutout for my design, Green Thumb. If my design is selected, it would be my first design print. Needless to say, that would be downright awesome. But I can’t make it happen without your help. So click right here and let it be known that you love Green Thumb!

Do not fight the awesomeness that is this photo.

A few quick note: the AMP posts will return shortly, expect some new LBB tee designs soon, keep checking the website for updates.

That is all. Carry on and keep doing good things.

Cheers!

Dawn of the Dad – Observations from the First Year

admin — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 04:32:13 +0000

Forgive the lack of D.O.T.D posts. I’ve been busy enjoying fatherhood and neglected ye old blog.

A few backs, our son Liam turned one. He had three amazing birthday parties in Utica, Rensselaer and down in the Outer Banks, NC (Duck exactly). Without question, Liam partied hard and received tons of well wishes and awesome swag. During each of the parties, I couldn’t help but think “How did this year go by so quickly? Is it possible that this kid went from being a little peanut to being a lil’ wild man in just 365 days?”

This year has been filled with love, fear, triumphs, downfalls, kisses, gashes, tears, hugs and everything else that you can imagine. I couldn’t have survived this past year without the love and support of my wife. She’s a rock for me and an amazing mom to Liam. She’s the brains and I’m the guy who acts brawny (but is way too nerdy to ever truly fill that tough guy/dad role). We’ve both changed over the past year but I think it’s for the better and our foundation is stronger than ever.

It’s important to have that foundation because being a parent is a trying experience. No doubt about it. Liam can go from smiles and laughs to tears and screaming on a dime. And sometimes, it’s better to have the other parent step in and handle those situations. God bless all the single parents out there!

That statement aside, the past year has been the greatest year of my life. Watching Liam grow and learn has been a real blessing – one that I have not and will not ever take for granted. First steps, first teeth, using utensils, dismantling our Christmas tree. The everyday things we all take for granted are new to him and I’m grateful to be able to witness that newness.

I’m looking forward to Year 2. Whatever is in store for us, we’re waiting with open arms and happy hearts.

Greetings. I hope you’ve been well! Many things are afoot here at LBB HQ:

1: My two-month-old son is a wild man and I’ve been very busy admiring is newborn antics. Truth be told, my wife is the parental rock. She has deciphered his various cries, coos and grunts. All wondrous stuff I assure you

2: When time allows, there’s freelance projects to be done – stuff that I’ll eventually post on my the work page of this website. Many thanks to the magical Mike Doughty (and Mai, his merch manager) for hooking me up with the work.

3: In between the parenting/spousal duties and freelance design work, I’ve been scrapping minutes together to record with my band, endswell. We’re putting some finishing touches on a 3 song EP due out in February. Stay tuned for more info on that

In the meantime, help a dude out and pick up this tee or this tee or this tee.
