All digital prints are produced and printed on archival Moab Rag Bright white and the weight is 190 GSM. The size of these particular 3 pieces is 13″x19″.

Oh and I had to add this link to include the blog in blogcatalog.com

Teux Deux (pronounced to do) is an elegantly simple ToDos application designed by the wonderful Tina Roth-Eisenberg (of swiss-miss.com fame). To start teuxdeuing, you simply create an account online and can immediately start adding items to your list. The window is divided into the expected 5 column format (see above) so that you can see your work-week at a glance. Below the week (not shown here) is another 5 empty columns for items that need to be done… eventually; which is a better part of the genius here. When you complete an item you cross it off the list and it remains there as a record of your daily activities. This, by the way, becomes a really handy reference for those of us who always forget to time track our days before forgetting it later in the week.

Here at the Block, we are big-time subscribers to the wonderful world of Basecamp. But nearly everyone here uses the ToDo lists on Basecamp for smaller items associated with a larger project, like a list of revisions. Additionally, it is difficult to add publicly viewable items to any one list that is not directly associated to a project. Teux Deux is more personal. There is nothing stopping you from noting that a proposal has to go out right next to an entry to remind you to call your Mom for Mother’s Day.

So get on over to teuxdeux.com and give it a try. It is also worth noting that an iPhone version of the app is in the works so you can add to your lists even while you are in transit. If you don’t try it, then don’t come crying to me when your whole world falls apart.

A high quality screened poster featuring icons of 61 robots, 58 aliens and 30 various vehicles. Altogether adding up to a staggering 149 icons to contemplate while you really should be speding some quality time with your family. Exclusive to the poster are 14 icons that have not (as of this mailing) been included on any of the 3 scifi tshirt reprints (see above). The piece itself is printed in 3 colors, screened on a 14″x36″ sheet of 80lb poster stock and comes in your choice of black or white.

Remember there is also the Horror and Fantasy Screen Print featuring another 149 icons. See the special set offer at right.

Pretty excellent inclusion of Chop Shop on the most recent episode of G4tv. While our own site remains our central focus, we do make our products available on both Etsy and SupermarketHQ to reach a larger audience.

Available in Black & Charcoal Men’s Alstyle, sizes SML-4XL or Chocolate Men’s American Apparel, sizes SML-2XL. For women the design will be available in Chocolate American Apparel, sizes SML-XL. This item is currently on pre-order, due to arrive around February 1, 2010.

Art and concept is by Chris Thornley.

My impression is that much of the latter work is for fun and the themes provide for some really engaging imagery. These (and a few other images) are available from his site in poster form (for those of you with barren walls begging for inspiration).

Click above to see Michael’s info-graphic on how an eclipse works. This has to be the most attractive depiction of this phenomenon ever attempted. If you want to see more of his work apart from what is on sale at his site, you need to check out this set in his flickr feed which includes some of his more bizarre designs (click below).

When you combine equal parts photographer, mom, educator, storyteller and you mix in an infectious personality - you end up with the awesomely talented Me Ra Koh. She and her husband Brian have quickly developed a successful brand built upon empowering moms (and dads!) to take better photos. Check out the rebranded, redesigned merakoh.com.

We are consistently humbled with the quality of conversation that result from Me Ra’s workshops & stories. It’s always satisfying to work with clients who have a strong established fan base, even better is to support Me Ra’s quest of helping parents to better photograph their family - Me Ra Koh is a force for good.

Enter The Horror & Fantasy Collection featuring 62 monsters, 35 vampires and 51 various icons of the undead. Altogether adding up to a staggering 149 icons to roll up, take to work, and kill productivity for an entire day. The piece itself is printed in 2 colors, screened on a 14″x36″ sheet of 140lb or 80lb black poster stock. Gift it this season, and watch the recipient of your generosity pour over all the icons for literally hours while trying to name each and every one.

Of course, most of the 149 are also found on three tshirt designs; weScare (59 Monsters), weBite (35 vampires) and undeadWe (51 zombies, ghosts and spirits). All which have also been featured previously here on the Chopping Blog. See them all in high resolution here on flickr.

Tom and I will be speaking at the Type Directors Club, this Thursday (December 10th @ 6pm). It’s shaping up to be a pretty amusing, if not enlightening stack of stories & work. Don’t tell us if you are going to be there; nothing freaks me out more than knowing some faces within the faceless crowd.

Our presentation is in tandem with the TDC Holiday Party & Silent Auction. So if things go south, you can drink and silently bid. [thanks tina]
