Toy Gory on Ript today!

Now that I'm a 34 year old, I can look back at my early gaming years with a certain fondness. Sure, I was awkward looking, didn't talk much and shook with excitement when it was my turn to play– but I still consider those days rather formidable to making me the person that I am today. None more so than Mario Bros 3 for the NES. That game had insane 8-bit graphics, secrets within the game, and was a huge leap in gameplay from Mario 2. I mean, Mario could fly if he had a raccoon tail and ears! It made no sense, and as a kid I loved it. Fuck, I still love it. So needless to say, the Mario Bros 3 cover was also my favorite. It was so simple, yet instantly iconic.
So it shouldn't shock anyone that if I'm going to make a t-shirt design, that it'll pay homage to that classic video game cover! So here's two brand new designs! Super Weapon X and Super Rock Man! Both are dedicated to two other dear characters in my childhood: Wolverine and Mega Man. (Full Disclosure: I hired Obvian: The Art of Nathan Davis) to design Super Weapon X) Both are up on Harebrained's Teepublic store! Is there a shirt that you'd like to see Harebrained design? Send us an email or let us know in the comments!

Like I need a reason to shove a wiener in my mouth! Some people live by that trite saying "Dance like nobody is watching". I live my life like every day is National Hot Dog Day! And it shows. My beer belly is more like a beef belly.
Back to the main reason why I started this blog post: LOOK AT THIS HOT DOG LOGO that I designed over 5 years ago! The coals of this company fizzled out before they could ever get hot, but that doesn't mean I love this mascot any less. I mean, look at his mustard mustache and bow tie! His top hat and fancy shoes! If I didn't know any better, this guy is less of a hot dog and more of a SPOILED BRAT!
Bun puns aside, Harebrained is now available for hire! We want to design your logo, beer label, and band shirt! Rates are negotiable. Send us an email here!
I just finished a new shirt design dedicated to the greatest catchphrase in the history of saturday morning cartoons! SPOON! And if you're still not sure what the shirts about, you must not be a 30 year old dork like myself. Look up episodes of the The Tick now! You can thank me later.
We are playing around with the idea of coming out with a line of ill-mannered animal underwear called The Bad Natured Collection! Right now we've got 4 designs: "Owl See You in Hell", "Zero Fox to Give", "What Are Ewe Looking At", and "Frankly My Deer". This would be our first foray into the non-menstrual undie world (i.e. Period Panties) so we're sort of feeling things out and seeing if there's any demand for such a line. We'll construct them similarly to our already existing Period Panties line, so anyone who owns a pair of Period Panties already will know what they're getting!
What other animal puns would you want to see? Maybe a tough looking alpaca "Alpaca my foot up your ass"? Let us know in the comments!
