Tor.com T-Shirt Making Party

Tor.com gets their colors on.

First of all, Pablo Defendini worked his ass off to make this happen, and we thank him. At one point, I'd have sworn he grew four arms, reaching out to answer panicked “Pablo!?!?”s.

It’s all Cory Doctorow’s fault, really. I saw his blog post on silk screen t-shirts, which reminded me of ho much fun it was to make a seven color silk screen t-shirt of In the Night Kitchen when I was in high school. Then I saw Pablo’s blog post on making a screen print inspired by Cory’s Little Brother. So.......he were all are getting our hands all inky red, black, and green.

Of course, we'll all wake up in the morning and suddenly realize we didn't really need to have ten shirts with tor.com on them, but, hey, it was lots of fun. Even more so than I thought it would be.

Once again, thank you, Pablo, for getting this all set up for us.

Any job openings at Tor for a graphic designer?! ;) Its so nice to see that as hard as you guys work you seem to have a lot of fun too. There are a lot of companies that could learn from you guys (and I think I worked for most of them!)

Part of my job is as screen printer, I have to admit, it's not nearly as much fun as what you guys had. Printing a couple hundred shirts front and back with white ink...SUCKS! LOL Can I come work there too? I have experience!

You guys just have too much fun!

That's pretty cool. Congratulations on the 2nd birthday for the blog, btw!
Perhaps you could do a post at some point on Tor's female artists...I seem to see mostly men mentioned here.

Bummer they aren't for sale.
Although the book bag would also be appropriate. ;)

I second that nomination for screen printed t-shirts and sci-fi book bags :)
