I'm sure you are familiar with the Andre the Giant stickers that are so ubitquitous these days. Well Shep Ferry started printing them here, in providence.

Well he thought he was SO COOL with the andre thing, untill me and my buddies started making "speech balloons" for andre. Then he got mad and pitched a fit at a party at (name witheld by intuition)'s house. Things started to get ugly. I argued that he couldn't POSSIBLY be angry at my group for doing EXACTLY what he was doing to others.

Now. He sells $100.00 sweatshirts that say "OBEY" inside 'hot topic'.

I make less than m inimum wage to sail the seven seas, fight off pirates and convinc`e whores that they are in love with me.

I'm quite hap;py I didn't place my future in trendy stickers.

Yeah, the sticker market is a fickle market. You made the right choice with the whole nautical thing.

I got Netscape to pay Shep to design the Mozilla logo. I'm still kind of amazed I got away with that.

really? I was amazed to go see a show he had in savanna a few years ago. I mean I'm all for being rich and famous, but we were all just play acting way back when. I never imagined he did anything 'important'

But then again, I've never done anything even approaching "important"

that amuses me greatly - i always figured the mozilla logo was just the result of some random designer emulating him.

i'm saddened at the new light and airy mozilla.org design. the imposing lizard and associated communist stars were much cooler. i suppose, though, if one had to pick between a cool website and actual working software that can be downloaded...

err, nevermind. :P

"and associated communist stars"

Damnit, we're trying to call it Constructivist so the anti-Commie goons don't go apeshit!

Bwa! Ok, you must tell me either how to contact this Shep or the licensing deal with the Moz logo. As in, does the artists have any rights, or was it a work-for-hire and NS/AOL/MoFo would own the rights exclusively? I know you wouldn't know the deal NOW, but if you know what it was then, please share.

Stay tuned. I've ben chronicling my whore stories. The 'best' is yet to come.

I'm surprised at the quality he was able to get in return. I would have expected that out of 50,000, 49,995 would have been some dipshit kid tagging his name on them.

(To this day I have yet to find a tag I could actually READ)

The ones you can read are worse.

You read my mind. I find it funny that a good chunk of the stickers have almost the same hand writing and usually in the bubble with only one quote. This would rarely ever happen in an urban area since everyone has a %$#$#@ opinion. Not to mention there appears to be a drop shadow on some of the stickers but I could be talking out of my ass. (or bubble)

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

If you look closer at this shadow, it's because the poster is covered, and the stickers are on the glass.

As for the rest; 50,000 is a lot of stickers, and getting ~100 good-enough responses seems like a reasonable result.

This is one of those perfect ideas where you think, "I coulda thought of that!" but, you know, you didn't.

My fave is "nice ass."

What's funny about the Starbucks "Have you seen my nipples" is that the original logo did have nipples.

The history of the logo is here

Hey how did you get your journal so it comes up as possible content on Google.com/ig? Google's personal homepage thing.

If you go "add content" and in the Create Your Own, type in livejournal.com, and your journal comes up as one you can add.

Did you know that?

(Reply) (Thread)

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Ok don't worry about it
