Graphic designer and illustrator, Ben Mitchell, has volunteered his piece from the POWER UP Video Game Art Show as the limited edition poster for pledges of $175 or more.
Posters will be five-color screen printed, numbered, and signed by Ben and myself. Ben is also in the works cooking up a brand new tee concept!

Ross from the amazing 8-bit ZOMBIE (the best retro gaming gear site on the net) has written a flattering post on Facebook.
He’s kindly offered to donate a few King Hippo tees like the one I’m wearing in the Kickstarter video. Will keep you posted!

Created a Facebook account, uploaded some photos, liked hundred of pages, added a few friends, joined a few dozen groups and posted on as many walls before being suspended!
Apologies to any people/groups I may have offended, but I’m new to this whole self-promotion thing. Direct all your likes to:
