Combat the Cold with the Power of Spring.



Fight back those brisk chills with something a bit warmer.  Introducing something so out of season, the bees used to produce it had to be thawed first. 


At the current moment, there are only 4 of these left - 2 smaller bags and 2 larger bags.  


$15 in person, $20 to ship!

Shirts In The Works.

Currently working on several shirt designs, making use of my plastisol ink and the help of Southpaw! 

Shirt design based on the idealization of American culture, with more to come:

For fun, should be done eventually, possibly printed on tote bags as well:

A design currently being printed and for sale on my store site:

Another Hindu inspired design:

I realize these are all on white, but some may be printed on natural cotton, gray, or other colors.

Up, up, and away.



Over the past two days I have been working on a web-store and it is finally complete!  With this opening, I am also working on printing two poster designs I meant to print a while ago, one of which is up for pre-order on the store. 


www.apothemprints.bigcartel.com


Because of this being the opening of the store, and it being so close to Christmas, I put a discount code on all the items!  For 10% off each order, enter the code: HEXAGONBLUES


The "Stormy Weather" print is up as a "pre-order", but they will be finished and hopefully shipped by January 2nd!

Getting Political, Vol.I

I have been working with political themes recently, as a way to combat the monotony of boring and seemingly thoughtless work I am doing in school. These are just a few of the many I have been working on:


This is a design to be printed as a patch. It is based off of a lyric from a hardcore band I recently discovered, Trial, from their song "War By Other Means". The image is a photograph of a man being water-boarded during interrogation, a clear breach of human rights, but none-the-less, something our very own government employs when questioning suspected terrorists, homeland threats, political prisoners, and people they seek to obtain information from. The United States is a country that masquerades as a "goody-two-shoes" while secretly torturing and violating countless human rights in the name of freedom.


Patches will be approximately 7"x10".  If you would like one, they will be $5 in person, $7 to ship. 




The next design is something that I think about and experience through others almost every day - the inherent inequality of living in the United States. Even though I am a heterosexual male, I have countless friends who are homosexual. They should have all the same rights heterosexual couples currently have, and it is not a religious question, it is a matter of human rights. 


Depending on the cost to print this, the design will either be only black ink on a white shirt or black and red ink on a white shirt.


#1) Black ink on white shirt:

 #2) Black/Red ink on white shirt:
(Ignore the Apothem logo watermark, it will not be printed with the design)


Being a citizen in the modern day United States of America is a day to day journey of discovery, adventure, and questioning the world around one's self. As an art student/artist, lover of history, and a part of the hardcore-punk scene, I question life with an understanding for everyone and their views. Even if I don't agree with them, I still seek to understand.


Remember, as a human and a citizen, our job is to question the government, and at times stand up to the government.
