Recycling is Key Graphics

Variety of Recycling is Key Gear by Mudge Studios @ Zazzle

Seems like The Human Race as a whole needs to climb on board and start respecting our dear Mother Earth.  Although the Universe seemingly revolves around us humans, it obviously doesn't. People need to own up to the impact that our species has on everything- from pollution of our air, our precious water and our soil to the endangerment of many species of animals and varieties of plant life.  

Mudge Studios has  been creating Earth Friendly designs on various POD sites for years now. Mudge's Earth Day Gear was designed to help to make others aware of our predicament. Wear our Recycling is Key t-shirts, buttons and stickers. To follow are a few Recycle Graphics from CafePress, Zazzle and Wordans. Recycling is Key depicts the universal Recycle Graphics with symbols for Earth's air, water and land. Representing the water is a fish, the air a dove, the land a dog. In the center of the design is a key. Hence the slogan Recycling is Key!

Recycling is Key Organic @ CafePress

Featured above is Our Recycling is Key gear at Cafepress. Our Mudge Studios shop at CafePress has a large variety of Earth Day gift ideas for sale. Included are: light and dark apparel, mugs, note cards, mouse pads, stickers, buttons and magnets.

Lee Dewyze wins Idol 9

Mudge Studios' Lee Dewyze Shop @ CafePress

It all came down to Lee Dewyze the young paint salesman from Chicago and the talented Crystal Bowersox- aka MamaSox- the single mother from Ohio. Right from the beginning, these two musicians were two of our early favorites to be in the Idol finale . We also figured that either Andrew Garcia, Mike Lynche or Casey James would battle for the top 3 spot. Turned out to be Casey.

The finale performance show seemed to go well for both artists, but we felt that Crystal may have had an edge over Lee in her energy level and stage presence. This opinion seemed to be echoed by the judge's critiques as well. It almost seemed that the judges were pushing a little for Crystal. The judge's comments may have ignited the Lee Dewyze fan base resulting in a winning number of votes for their beloved Lee. In our household, we loved both performers, but we felt that Lee Dewyze was somebody that would fit the mold of Our Next American Idol just a little bit better than Crystal. Don't get me wrong, we'll buy Crystal's album when it's released. Our hunch was right as America selected the humble paint salesman as America's favorite. Lee performed an emotional rendition of U2's "Beautiful Day" while confetti sprinkled down from the rafters at the Kodak Theatre.

 Commemorate Lee Dewyze's incredible journey on American Idol with Mudge Studios' Cool Lee Dewyze Idol Gear. Celebrate with our Idol Shirts, Hats, Mugs and More as Lee is launched from American Idol Season 9 Winner towards a career of musical stardom. CafePress has allowed us to continue selling Idol Fan Gear until the season ends. After that, all Idol products featuring contestants past and present will be removed...

Mudge Studios @ Skreened

New Mudge Studios Shop @ Skreened

In an effort to branch out and get more exposure for  Mudge Studios' art. Mudge Studios has decided to search for and try out some additional Print On Demand opportunities. Everyone knows that CafePress is over run with a million other shops. I've discovered a few companys that could pan out. Featured in this posting is Skreened. Skreened is a small outfit located in Columbus, Ohio. I found them online when I searched for alternative PODs. The following is what the people of Skreened have to say:

"Skreened uses new technology to print soft, durable, full color prints directly onto garments.

It's an efficient CMYK printing process that allows us to print as few as 1 item cost effectively.

In addition to our technology, we only print onto garments that have been manufactured in verified work conditions that do not exploit workers." 

So far the process for uploading and creating product seems easy with a friendly interface. Skreened allows the set up of multiple free shops with the freedom to set your own commission. The drawback at this point seems to be that there is really no way to customize the look of one's shop. Organizing the Mudge Studio's shop seemed very primitive as well. As such, my Mudge Studios Shop comes across as very basic...

Thanks to Skreened, Mudge Studios is now selling a number of products with Mudge's unique Artwork on them. Please feel free to browse Our Gift Shops and buy something unique for your Friends & Family and of course Yourself! We've soon have Sports Designs featuring Baseball, Fantasy Football, Dinosaur Sports, Mixed Martial Arts; as well as Father's Day Gifts, Dogs & More.

The Good News is- that within a couple of days of opening my Mudge Studios' Shop, We got our first sale. Mudge Studios' Cool 3 Point Stance Football Design as seen below, drew first blood :) I hope that Skreened continues to develop their business.

Anti-Cyberbully Gear

 Stop Cyber-Bullying Gear @ CafePress

We Must ALL Unite to Prevent Cyber Bullying! These days cyber-bullying has become a sinister epidemic that has destroyed or is currently ruining the lives of many of our young people. Many victims of internet harassment feel helpless and have suffered these attacks alone, unable or embarrassed  to reach out for help or even to simply discuss their situation with anyone. We need to join together as family, friends, law makers, authorities and fellow human beings to make Cyber Bullies aware that cyberbullying is indeed a serious crime and it will be punished. Cyber Bullies may even think that their relentless damage is being perpetrated anonymously... BUT NOT ANYMORE. Thanks to the rapid development of technology these days, Cyber-Bullies will inevitably be found and exposed for what they are. Cyber Bullying is no longer a faceless crime. 

Team Saber Bully Gear @ Zazzle

Check Out our Cool Team Saber Bull and Stop Cyber-Bullying designs on Anti- Cyberbullying shirts and gift items. Team Saber Bully features a formidable bull armed with a light saber ready to defend against the evil that is Cyber Bullying... Confronting Cyber Bullying Head On. Our Stop Cyber-Bullying design features a circle slashed computer monitor with attributes of an angry bull. Imagine an alliance of young people, their peers and all those concerned coming together as a support system for the victims of cyberbullying. Imagine a day when the internet can't be used as a weapon to destroy someone's life. It's time to eradicate this problem. Mudge Studios is hoping that our Anti-CyberBully gear will raise public awareness of the serious problem that is Cyber Bullying.

A Frog's Life...

A Frogs Life Gift Shop @ Zazzle

Frogs are amphibians. The majority of frogs have long, powerful hind legs, a short body, webbed fingers and toes, bulging eyes and no tail. Frogs are of course known to be elite leapers. Yes, even the childhood game known as Leap Frog comes from mimicking the jumping prowess of the awesome froggy.  Frogs can be found across the globe in tropical rain forests to surprisingly- subarctic areas. Currently, More than 5,000 species of Frog are known to inhabit our planet, but unfortunately- many species are becoming endangered. As I write this blog entry, I have to double check my facts. Did I previously mention frogs living in subartic areas? Subartic?  I wonder if other planets could indeed play host to a variety of extraterrestrial frogs?

Variety of Frog Shirts and Gifts for Frog Lovers
You've probably guessed that Frogs are pretty much one of my favorite animals. I actually find most animals to be fascinating, but these amphibians do Rock! A Frog lives to eat anything that bugs them. A Frog's Life has a large variety of cool frog shirts, buttons, mugs, bumper stickers and more for frog lovers of all ages. Our Froggie artwork includes: tree frogs, funny bull frogs, croaking toads, guitar rocking frog and dapper machine gun frog with fun frog slogans such as: A Frog's Life,  Frogs Eat anything that Bugs them, Frogs Rule while Toads Drool, I'm frog people, Frogs Rock, Bull Frog, Frogzilla, I Love Frogs More Than Most People, I Heart Frogs, Born Green and so much More. Also- feel free to customize and personalize your favorite Frog Design Here. Thanks for checking out our store. Ribbit. Croak. Ribbit.

Smoke Monster VS Lost Statue

 

Smoke Monster VS Lost Statue Baseball Jersey

Well, everybody pretty much knows that ABC's Lost is quickly coming to a close. A LOST finale is certainly bittersweet as Lost Fans will finally get all of the answers we have been not-so patiently waiting for, but those answers also come with a lofty price tag of a last Lost episode. Before that happens, Mudge Studios was inspired to create a fun Lost design capturing the general theme of ABC's Lost. The Lost storyline seems to be a battle between good and evil played out on the battlefield of Lost Island. 

Check out a Variety of ABC Lost Fan shirts and gift items at Mudge Studios' CafePress Premium Shop. This Lost design features the mysterious Lost island with the John Locke Smoke Monster vs. Tawaret- the Mysterious Lost Statue. Smoke monster represents the black darkness that is evil, while the Lost statue represents good... note the Ankh that Tawaret holds. Good and Evil arm wrestle for the fate of LOST Island and its candidates. Matters not who wins, We're all Lost! Commemorate Season Six...Destiny Found- the finale with our cool lost island Gear. Perfect for fans of Kate, Jack, Sawyer, Locke, Jacob, Hurley, Desmond and all the others stranded on the island.

Dewyze Guy 4 Lee!

 Lee Dewyze Portal @ CafePress. Mudge's Team Dewyze design featured on the right

 Lee Dewyze of American Idol continues to impress as one of the best during Elvis Week. Adam Lambert did the honors as mentor, providing Lee Dewyze with some much needed advice. The week before this, Dewyze showed America what he could do if he Be"Lee"ved in himself. Elvis Week showed us what Lee could do when he loosens up some. He chose the song "A Little Less Conversation"slowed it down some and made it his own with his signature raspy vocals. Sounded like something we could hear on the radio today. For me, at this point it is looking like the real potential for a Dewyze/Bowersox finale.

Bowersox Lady Liberty Idol

Crystal Bowersox continues to inspire. Loved her last performance of "Midnight Train to Georgia" by Gladys Knight and the Pips when she surprised us all when Crystal started the performance at the piano.

Alex and Lilly Idol Tribute Designs

Looks like American Idol has just thrown us their first real blindsides of Season 9 with the elimination of a couple of young, bright, talented artists. I'm still scratching my heads as to how Indie artist Lilly Scott and that nineteen year old Alex Lambert from Texas could be ousted- while certain others move on into the coveted top 12.

 

The first surprise was to see Alex Lambert go. This kid from Texas certainly has one of the most unique voices of this season, unfortunately Alex seemed to have a serious case of stage nerves. Seems that just as Alex was starting to warm up and really starting to feel comfortable with himself,  he gets shown the door. Alex obviously lacked experience and it's too bad that American Idol can't be that vehicle for him to gain more of it. On a positive note, Alex isn't obligated contractually with American Idol any longer, so other opportunities could indeed open up for him.  This kid will go places. Anyway, Mudge Studios had come up with a couple of new American Idol t-shirt designs inspired by some of last week's Idol performances. The first, is our Winged Heart and Scrolling Microphone design for Alex Lambert Fans.  This design was created prior to the disapointing results show, but we are keeping them up for sale until the conclusion of the season. Our Unique Alex Lambert winged heart fan gear makes great Gift Ideas for your  friends and family who love Alex too. Although gone from the American Idol  competition, You can still Support Alex Lambert when you wear our Alex Lambert Shirts, Hats, Mugs and  Stickers.

The next surprise was the lack of support for Lilly Scott- resulting in her dismissal from Idol. This young lady is very talented and seemed most comfortable in her own skin- Lilly knows what kind of recording artist that she wants to be. Was it song choice that sunk her? Although I loved the performance, I'm not sure that a Patsy Cline song was the best idea for capturing the support of the demographic that actually votes on American Idol. Maybe Lilly was just too quirky and mainstream America is just not ready for

this type of Indie Artist. Could also be that Lilly was considered by many to be a genuine contender, easily sliding into the deeper rounds. May just come down to Lilly's fans being lazy or even complacent that she'd surely secure a spot in the top 12. Who knows for sure, but at least we'll be sure of one thing... Lilly will go on to record some great music for a fan base that will be supportive of her uniqueness. For the remainder of Season 9, Mudge Studios is permitted to post for sale on its CafePress shop a Variety of Lilly Scott Designs on Shirts, Hats, Mugs, Stickers for Lilly Scott Fans of all ages. Lilly Scott Designs include: Distressed Guitar, Winged Heart and American Idol Microphone. Our Unique Lilly fan gear makes great Gift Ideas for your friends and family too. You can still Support Lilly Scott when you wear our Scott Fan Merchandise as Lilly forges her own path in her Musical Career.

A Couple More Idol Picks.

American Idol is down to the Top 16 Now. I'm looking forward to the numbers dwindling down a bit more- so that we can see more performance time from our favorites. Last blog we featured t-shirts and gift ideas for fans of Andrew Garcia and Crystal Bowersox. This time we cover some designs that Mudge Studios created for Lilly Scott and Lee Dewyze fans.

Lilly is another very unique artist performing her heart out on American Idol Season 9.  Over the past couple of weeks, Lilly Scott picked The Beatles' "Fixing A Hole" and Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" to perform. As these song selections certainly aren't riding the wave of a popular song selection found on today's top 40 charts, Lilly is proving that American does appreciate, truly enjoy and support the performance of unique singer-song writers. As Randy Jackson said, Lilly Scott is a true Indie Artist. We'll cast votes for lilly for that!

 

At our Mudge Studios' American Idol Shop we feature a Variety of Distressed Guitar Lilly Scott Designs on Shirts, Hats, Mugs, Stickers for Lilly Scott Fans of all ages. Our Unique Lilly fan gear makes great Gift Ideas for your friends and family too. Be sure to Support Lilly Scott when you wear our Scott Fan Merchandise and be sure to vote for Lilly as your Next American Idol. Thanks.

  

Our Next pick is Lee Dewyze the 23 year old from Illinois. Did you catch Lee's performance featuring Hinder's "Lips of an Angel."?  Lee is an early favorite on American idol with that grainy voice that would certainly sound great on a record or on the radio right now!  Kara DioGuardi seconds that motion. Even Simon Cowell appreciates what Lee brings to the American Idol table- as Simon says that Lee was "head and shoulders above everyone else" and "may be the one to beat."

At our Mudge Studios' American Idol Shop we feature a Variety of Lee Dewyze Skull Designs on Shirts, Hats, Mugs, Stickers for Lee Dewyze Fans of all ages. Also- check out our Dewyze Mic Gear here. Our Unique Dewyze fan gear makes great Gift Ideas for your friends and family too. You'll Support Lee Dewyze when you wear our Lee Fan Merchandise. Be sure to vote for Lee Dewyze for your Next American Idol. Next time, we'll blog about our Casey James Gear.

American Idol Season 9

 

Mudge Studio's American Idol Shop at CafePress

 Mudge Studios has been provided the opportunity to create American Idol fan gear. CafePress has once again secured the license for their SKs to create and sell a variety of t-shirts and many other gift items on CafePress' POD site. This privilege does come with several restrictions though. A couple of the notables include: no use of likeness of any of the judges or the contestants and in particular- no use of name or likeness of Simon Cowell in any manner what so ever and no use of the American Idol logo. 

For American Idol Season 9, Mudge Studios has elected to pick 5 early American Idol favorites and produce a couple of Idol designs for fans of these contestants. Mudge has primarily repurposed  most of those graphics that were used in Adam Lambert and Kris Allen designs for American Idol Season 8.

 The first American Idol contestant selected from this season's top 24 is Andrew Garcia. The Andrew Garcia designs seen above can be found here. Andrew Garcia is Fresh and has been described as a genius by some of the judges. Just take a look and a listen to what Andrew did with Paula Abdul's Straight Up to see what all the hype is about. Also- have you seen this dude break dance? At Mudge Studios' Idol Shop- You'll see a Variety of Andrew Garcia Live for Today Skull Designs, Andrew Garcia Straight Up Acoustic Guitar Designs as well as The Garcia Microphone Graphics on Shirts, Hats, Mugs, Stickers for Andrew Garcia Fans of all ages. Our Unique Garcia Idol Skull fan gear features a Rocking skull with Garcia cap and eye glasses makes great Gift Ideas for your friends and family too. Be sure to Support Andrew Garcia when you wear our Garcia Fan Merchandise and be sure to vote for Andrew Garcia for your Next American Idol. Thanks.

Our Next Early Favorite comes from the women's side. We pick Crystal Bowersox to make the top twelve easily and Way Beyond! Crystal is a remarkable young woman and a Natural Woman as echoed by one of her early song choices. Bowersox is a single mom with the velvet voice who has the natural ability to perform her sox off. Love when she plays the guitar and the mouth harp! Randy Jackson even dubbed her Mama Sox at one point during the competition. Our Crystal Bowersox Shop features a Variety of Natural Woman Guitar, Mama Sox and Crystal Bowersox Mic Designs on Shirts, Hats, Mugs, Stickers for Crystal Bowersox Fans of all ages. Our Unique Bowersox fan gear makes great Gift Ideas for your friends and family too. Be sure to Support Crystal Bowersox when you wear our Bowersox Fan Merchandise and be sure to vote for Crystal as your Next American Idol. Turns out that Crystal was recently hospitalized due to complications related to Diabetes. We all hope and pray that she is alright and returns with her health intact. Hoping that Crystal would be able to return this week, American Idol producers switched up their scheduled programming and had the men perform first on Tuesday with the women returning on Wednesday night. The strategy worked as Crystal Bowersox was able to return to Idol after an extra day of recuperation to perform first in the line up and completely knock it out of the park with CCR's "Long As I Can See The Light".  A spectacular performance that even converted Simon into a Bowersox believer.

Anyway, that's it for Idol for now. We'll follow up with the American idol designs that we have created for our other Idol picks. Can't wait, You can always get a preview at Mudge Studios' American Idol Shop here.

Thanks for browsing.
