Corbie — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:07:37 +0000

All Hallows eve is just about here, and it’s a perfect Friday to enjoy the fine Fall weather and all the treats this time of year has to offer. A few of my favorite indie flavored posts from around the blogosphere are listed below.

BoingBoing: Bees That Drink Human Tears
Just hold real still while they’re sipping, you probably don’t want to startle these bees.

Disappearing Dinosaur Mug: encourage your inner paleontologist

Corbie — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:33:37 +0000

I thought I needed a new coffee mug to round out my winter collection (and celebrate the coming of a new espresso machine to my household), and initially thought the giant squid mug was the winner. Then I saw this awesome dinosaur/dino bones caffeine holder, and realized that T. Rex plus T. Rex bones equates to the best coffee cup ever! I cannot say that the artistic rendering of the Tyrannosaurus is top notch, but it does convey the general premise of the magnificent beast, and once you add a hot beverage of your choice the world turns to bones. The bone view is pretty satisfying. And waking up every day to fleshed out dinosaurs on your cup, then savoring your morning brew while enjoying an archaeological dig – I have clearly found my new beverage container of choice. The dino mug holds 12 ounces of fluid, is microwave safe, and requires hand washing.

Price: $11.95

Levi’s Women’s Mid Rise Straight 552™ Jeans: organic cotton in a cute style

Corbie — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:02:53 +0000

I just got a pair of these black denim jeans last week, and I really love the fit, the color, and the fact that they are made of 99% organic cotton. Way to go, Levi’s! They have the same cut (mid-rise, straight leg) in a blue denim which features 15% recycled cotton as another eco-friendly possibility. I like black sheen (seen below), which is an inky over-dyed black denim, with nice texture, a subtle sheen and just a tiny bit of clingy stretch due to 1% spandex. Available in sizes 0 through 14, most sizes come in either short (30″), medium (32″) or long (32″).

Price: $69.50

Raven Ladies Tee: Deadworry’s take on Nevermore…

Corbie — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 22:28:43 +0000

This knockout ladies tee from the indie style mavens at Deadworry is yet another winner. Birdfight has featured Deadworry in quite a few posts in the last few months, and I am clearly a big fan of their iconic subject matter, the raven. This light blue vintage-style women’s tee features a bold black raven illustration which has been hand-printed on the lower left torso. Striking! The t-shirt blank used is an alternative women’s destroyed short-sleeve crew-neck shirt. Made of 100% ring-spun pima cotton, this tee is sure to become a wardrobe favorite based on comfort and dark feathered style. Available in sizes small through xlarge, care instructions say Wash Cold, Line Dry. This item will be shipped by the artist in 7 business days.

Price: $22.00

Men’s Hydra Killah Tee: soot snakes on steroids

Corbie — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 17:24:57 +0000

This is a pretty sweet-ass new tee from the indie style lords over at Sharp Shirter. Printed on a dark grey 100% cotton American Apparel shirt blank, this tee features an epic battle about to unfold. A white kimono-robed female warrior bares her blade in preparation for killing the ascending giant sooty snakey demons. They seem to be a cross between something elemental, plus a giant moray eel, and maybe an old fashioned 4th-of-July soot snake. Like I said, generally bad-ass. A number of new stylish tee’s from Sharp Shirter are featured on Shana Logic, with Hydra Killah being my favorite. This is a men’s or unisex t-shirt available in sizes Small through XL. Get 10% off your entire order with code: birdfight (expires 9/30/2009)

Missing T-shirt- Bike thieves suck!

RSwelling — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 16:00:43 +0000

Anyone who has had their bike swiped will appreciate this pretty hilarious flier which sends a message to one of the lowest types of thieves out there. So celebrated was the image the creator decided to put it up on Threadless and now you can grab a t-shirt of it. The funniest part of the story is the dude had actually locked his bike in an illegal area and it had been impounded…not stolen. The flier however still helps soothe the anger of the thousands of other unlucky folks who have their bikes nicked every day. It’s a real drag to lose what is potentially your main source of rapid transportation.

Gama-Go Yeti BBQ- The Yeti Munches

RSwelling — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 18:13:23 +0000

The naturalists over at the indie clothing and design conglomerate known as Gama-Go have certainly done their research when it comes to squids, crows and of course the mysterious Yeti. Who would have guessed the great white ice beast would enjoy a good BBQ now and again? In case you were wondering he really likes to chow down on a Winnebago, after devouring the contents of course!

Nixon Newton- Power to the future

RSwelling — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 16:00:07 +0000

Show off your love for the future, and the color red (most other colors are sold out sadly) with this geektacular watch from Nixon. The watch features an injected silicone band and hardened mineral crystal case, which will certainly get you lots of play with the coin operated animated ladies down at the arcade. The minimalist view port shows time with two simple dots, nothing fancy for the man of the future…you already know where the numbers are, no need to clutter that up.
