I'm currently hooked on designing T-shirts for Threadless' Sesame Street
contest. As usual, more ideas than time to get them on paper. Here's
what I've contributed so far (along with the links if you want to support them):
COLOR ME SESAME: For over 40 years, Sesame Street has inspired, entertained and taught
children all over the world and all of different backgrounds. For many
kids, Sesame Street opened up their world to people of different skin
colors, beliefs and abilities. Most importantly, everyone on the show
was treated with the same level of respect and understanding, even if
they happened to live in a garbage can or be a bumbling superhero. I
wanted to pay tribute to this diversity and history with a colorful
design. See the official entry at

POCKET GROUCH: Let your pocket do the talking with this tribute to everyone's favorite
grouch. Lucky for you, his friend Slimey came along for the ride. Does
not come with actual pocket or actual Oscar. ;). Support at

REMEMBERING MR. HOOPER: When considering ideas for this challenge, I searched through my memory
banks for some defining moments in the show. But nothing on Sesame
Street still resonates with me as much as when, as a youngster in 1983, I
learned that Mr. Hooper (and actor Will Lee) passed away. The child in
me still gets very upset as I remember it but, viewing the scene as an
adult, I am shocked at how expertly the Sesame writers handled that
moment. A truly amazing moment in children's television. Support at

C IS FOR COOKIE: C is for Cookie (and Cookie Monster). That's good enough for me. Support at
