New designs, chatting with musician Molly Lewis, and a delicious farmers market haul!

December 20, 2018

Hello, chums!

We've got a bit of a grab bag this week as we head into the holiday weekend, so let's dive in, shall we?

First, Meredith and I were feeling creative over the weekend and decided to feed ourselves with whatever the farmers market had to offer. We scored some sweet winter root veggies, including fingerling potatoes, rainbow carrots, and sweet potatoes. We roasted those with garlic, onions, salt, olive oil, thyme, and rosemary:

We also got a nice selection of red & golden baby beets (not pictured) that I roasted in foil packets with garlic, olive oil, herbs, and a splash of balsamic vinegar & lemon juice. When the guy asked if I wanted him to remove the tops with the leafy greens I told him to bite his tongue. I massaged those with some salt, lemon juice, and olive oil and then flash-fried them with some chopped up baby bok choy and garlic chips:

For dessert, I hollowed out a sugar pie pumpkin and filled the cavity with two pats of soy margarine, a quarter cup of brown sugar, and two cinnamon sticks and stuck it in the oven for an hour at 400ºF. Once it was out of the oven I spooned everything out into a bowl, mashed it into a quasi-puree, and served in a ramekin. Call it the world's laziest pumpkin pie if you'd like, but our taste buds didn't mind!

Anyway, onto the good stuff! This week we had a delightful conversation with singer/songwriter/ukulelist Molly Lewis! Molly's been active for a long time, and you've probably seen her videos on YouTube. If you haven't yet you're in for a real treat!

We chat with Molly about her music career, life as a creative professional, and talk a little shop about how to make money selling merch (including tees!) We also share her recent single 'Pantsuit Sasquatch' as the outro for the ep. Give it a listen!

Finally, in addition to our great (white) new design up top, I also had time this week to work on a new homage to both science and literary hero Kurt Vonnegut. That is one hell of a Venn diagram of awesome:

That's it for this week! To those of you who celebrate it, we wish you a very merry Christmas! For those of you who do not, enjoy the holiday weekend! We'll be back next week with a new podcast episode and (probably) some fresh designs, but until then...

Peace, love, and good cheer,

Matt

I Feel Bad (For Anyone Who Misses This Week's Podcast!)

December 13, 2018

This week on the podcast we talk to actor, musician, and all around awesome guy Paul Adelstein. You may know him from ABC's Scandal, FOX's Prison Break, FOX/NBC's Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Bravo's Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce, and ABC's Private Practice. You can currently catch him as David Sweetzer on NBC sit-com I Feel Bad. Go binge Season 1 now, it's on Hulu! Then go check out Paul's band Doris. They're really, really good! Don't believe us? Well, stay tuned for the end of the ep to hear one of our favorite Doris songs!

We chatted with Paul about the entertainment industry, living in LA, music, being a creative professional, and a host of other interesting topics. Also, we got to meet Paul's adorable dog. Be jealous.

Have a listen to the new episode below:

Also, we've got new products! Take a peek below (and above). If you want to get your hands on this awesome new stuff (or any of our stuff) in time for Christmas be sure to get your orders in no later than THIS WEEKEND!

That's it for now, but don't worry — we'll be back next week with new designs, new products, and a new podcast episode for your listening pleasure! Until then,

Peace, love, and tacos,

Grab Bag Podcast & New Designs!

December 06, 2018

It's been a busy week around Boredwalk HQ, but we still managed to record a wide-ranging, loopy podcast episode and knock out a couple fresh tee designs!

We've been digging a lot of 80s neon stuff of late, which informed the aesthetic of our new Wish You Weren't Here design...but not so much the indie cinema of the same period, as we discuss in this week's podcast episode:

I also got in touch with my inner Tony Hawk with this little gem:

We'll keep plugging away at more designs in the coming week. Until then...

Peace, love, and tacos,

Matt
