1) Daily routine. Tell us yours!
Wake up.. Bake up.. Gotta get my cake up….lalala… Nah, on a serious note though on the daily I eat 10-15 oreos with a huge glass of milk. I like to think of this as the breakfast of true champions… Check out my Pokemon on my DS, feed my cat, Gambit, surf my blog roll. Super Nerd in full effect. I like to think that just means im perfectly suited for TPM. Gotta stay smart you know.. Stay on my Krang shit!

2) What is your favorite color umbrella? why?
Electric yellow mixed with some blizzard blue or razzle dazzle pink. I love the brightness. It can go with my matching fanny pack!

3) What is eskimo ice?
Chains worn by eski-thugs. Real BRRRRRRR like.. Maybe Gucci Manne wears that shit?

4) What is your favorite kind of toilet paper? Why?
Charmin Ultra or die. It just feels right… Like Jordan on the Bulls right. Anything else is Jordan on the Wizards. You can use it but when you flush you feel let down like your glory days have passed you by.

5) If you were to ask one question to any celebrity, would it be, and who would it be?
I want to ask Justin Bieber, Why are you famous ruining the lives of all mankind? Im not down with Biebermania.

6) We all know that vampires are real. Explain why you believe they are real, and if you dont believe they are, then go away!
2 words. COUNT FUCKING CHOCULA. Ohh wait thats three.

7) Favorite cereal?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cereal. Crunchy, sweetened “NINJA NETS” with “NINJA TURTLE” marshmellows. Essentially one of the worst cereals ever, but the best of all-time in cool-factor.

Will you come cut my grass?
I’ve been driving my tractor for 5 days already…

9) Why wont you come cut my grass?
IM COMING! Ohio to Texas is a long journey on a tractor!!!!! I already got pulled over 6 times for driving illegal equipment on the highway..

10) What would make The Printed Mind better?
The Printed Mind would essentially become better if I were official clothing sampler/model of the brand. Just kidding… but on a serious note do that! ahhahah! =]

Thanks to David Wayne!

1) If Tom Hanks, and Morgan Freeman were to get into a footrace, who would win, and why would they?

Run, Forrest, run!

I think that’s all that needs to be said.

2) Whats the best part of fried chicken? Why?

The crunchy skin. Just dip it into some ketchup and it’s deliciousness in your mouth. It’s great as long as you don’t think about how badly it will clog your arteries.

3) If you had to fight 1 superhero, who would you want to fight?

If I had to fight a superhero, it’d probably have to be Quail Man. I think that if I fought any other heroes, even Atom Ant, that I would get seriously injured and/or killed. Quail Man seems like he wouldn’t be very violent. I’d make it a personal goal to give him a wedgie and steal his belt. After that, it would probably be fun and games and we’d sing along to “Killer Tofu” by The Beets.

4) If you only had 2 days to live, what would you do in those 2 days?

That’s so depressing, Levi!

I wouldn’t do anything that you guys would find particularly find interesting. I’d spend my last 48 hours with my loved ones. I’d also eat a lot of ice cream and drink lots of Slurpees.

5) Real talk, is the zombie outbreak going to happen?

I certainly hope not! Zombies are cool in movies and on t-shirts, but that’s about it. I wouldn’t like to see one in person. Ever. No, thank you!

6) We all know that girls are supposed to bring men sandwiches, but how can we convince the girls to believe this?

Dude, I’m a girl! I’m pretty sure that all the ladies out there would gladly bring you sandwiches…knuckle sandwiches.

Nah, I’m playing about the knuckle sandwiches. But forreal though, no sexism please.

7) Thoughts on Justin Bieber?

Before I knew who he was, I thought it was a girl singing on the radio. I don’t really have much against him, but it does get annoying seeing him all over the Internet. I do think he needs to stop wearing Supras to be cool, though. It just looks tacky. And don’t even get me started on that constant hair flipping…

I like how Twitter made it so that “Justin Bieber” would no longer be a daily trending topic. Unfortunately, I just checked Twitter and now the fans are typing “Bustin Jieber” instead. Not cool.

What does the 5th text message in your phone say? Give us the story behind it.

“Teeheeehee”

My friend forwarded me a picture of another friend’s dog hanging out in the sink. I then replied with what I usually say after seeing a cute animal (”Awwww!!!”) and she then told me that it wasn’t her dog. I responded with “I know you don’t have a chihuahua.” For some reason she thought that was really funny.

9) If YOU could interview anyone, who would it be?

Lady Gaga, hands down. I’d like to find out how she comes up with ideas for new outfits and performances. I’ll admit that I thought she was weird when she first got famous, but now I can’t get enough of her music and performances.

10) How can I improve The Printed Mind?

I’d like to see some hoodies for the cooler weather!

Maybe a zine too. Or a small booklet with artist interviews and explanations of how their designs came about. Then The Printed Mind will actually be printed

Thanks to Bo Mekavibul!

> 1) If Lady Gaga, and Ke$ha were in a fight to the death, who would win, why would the win, and what weapon would they use to win?

> Come on! It’s common sense that if Gaga battles helped by Beyoonce a.k.a. what-a-pair-of-thighs, armed to the teeth with massive killer telephones, Ke$ha will be terrible defeated. Oh wait, she still can use her own hit Tik Tok to counter-attack…

> 2) Let’s be honest, do dudes with long hair, really have a better life? Whats your reason for your answer?

Ok, I think this is an indirect question about if you should grown your own hair! since you have seen mine and also you have seen all my fb photos surrounded by multitude of chicks…:D Yeah, we have a better life definitely. A better life considering that: a) When you brush your teeth, you also brush your hair, and most of times you spit your mouthwash directly on your hair. It’s ama-zing. You must try it, at least once in your life. b) If you like summer, you must have long hair, cause no matters what fucking season would be, everytime you’ll be hot on your head. In August you can experience how it would be living in Sahara desert without moving from your couch. Niiiice. c) You always have an excuse to dress up as a hottie girl. A pair of ponytails ALWAYS liven up the party. PARTY!

> 3) Whats the most important part of a sandwich?

Maybe tomato. Er… no. Maybe no-flies in your cheese? Maybe. In case we’re talking about these kind of burguer/sandwich, most important would be that your one-night stand affair still want to “sleep” with you. Fuck. Yeah.

> 4) Whats your thoughts on the newest girl pop star, Justin Beiber?

Newest lesbian pop Star (http://lesbianswholooklikejustinbieber.tumblr.com/) No thoughts…just…me plus you, I’ma tell you one time! me plus you, me plus youu. Just kidding and singing dude, not me plus you, right? Right.

> 5) Name the parts of your body that you shave. Be honest!

Regards to question letter 3, I would say my left part of the head. Cause of my spits on my hair, you know. Definitly, I could not be Chewbacca in his spin-off (didn’t you know theres going to be a spinoff of it? EPIC FAIL), cause I have not a wretched beard Yeah, that one on my fb is photoshop painted. EPIC FAIL DOUBLED.

> 6) How are we going to cure the disease that is running wild in the world today called, “I dont have a iPhone yet”?

“I don’t have a The Printed Mind tee yet” will cure it. FTW!

> 7) Whats your favorite body part on you? Be careful with this question!

My Nintendo DS. Fucking amazing. We were talking about body parts, right? My girlfriend says someday it and I would be an only oddball.

> Favorite comedian?

My father is the perfect comedian on those hangovered mornings.

> 9) If you were to guess how many words you say in a day, what would your guess be?

Come on dude! I don’t say/speak with anything or anyone. I just play on my Nintendo DS, spit on my hair and response to interviews. Ok, I only use my words to order my Domino’s pizza everynight and I always says “Hoollla, same as yesterday dude, thankss” So, 6 words.

> 10) How can I improve The Printed Mind?

You should make an advert with Shaquille O’Neal on it. As Owl City, yeah. Come on! With contests like these, TPM is superb. I said

Thanks to Javier Sanz Lozano of Spain for this!

Hey thinkers,

Sorry for the lack of updates, but things have been pretty busy! Its new a year, and in the 8 months that The Printed Mind has been alive, it has been a blast. We hope to really make a difference in alot of lives this year! A few updates that we have are ofcourse new releases. We are working on a Stay Smart Collection due to the huge success of the Stay Smart shirt. We decided to release a line of products strickly branded with Stay Smart, and each one will have a very deep meaning behind each one! I cant wait to release them! There is a little preview on here

Also we are in the works with an amazing company called 8-Bit Zombie. They produce hats that kill! We are going to release a collab hat with them in the next few weeks! Look out for that. Its going to be amazing! Here is their link, pick up 3 hats http://8bitzombie.bigcartel.com/

thanks guys!

To the army of minds out there!

Everyday, you can watch the news, you can read the internet headlines, or simply just turn on the radio, and you are bombarded with news of war, news of scandals, murders, bank take overs, the most recent government take over, debates over health-care, debates over religion, etc…and while you might want to know what is going on in the world, why cant we hear of the good in this world? Like how just yesterday, a dog lead a blind girl half a mile down a road to save a drowing baby? Why wasnt that on CNN, or FoxNews? That is the kind of news that I want to hear. There is a time, and place for all the bad in the world, but for once let us hear what is good.

That brings me to the moral of this post. Stick together. The Printed Mind is part of underground industry that is devoted to bringing a different approach to clothing. Although its just t-shirts, and accessories, its a alternative to the norm. Instead of going to the mall, check out other options, like Miles To Go Clothing, Arkaik Clothing, who both have a deep meaning behind their clothing brands, and also happen to be friends of mine. Those two guys work hard at what they do, and its not for any sort of fame, which trust me, we dont receive haha, but its about offering an alternative to what is normal, and what is told to be “cool.”

Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living,” and that statement is a life changing statement, once you completely understand what it truely means. It means to examine the world around you, and make it a better place. It means to question what the “authority” tells you. Do they know what is best for you? NO! You do! YOU live your life, dont let a manager, or a pastor tell you what is best for you. You find God, or your belief on your own. Whatever is real to you, is real to you. Stick to it. No one can take that away. Every one is trying to think for you, but you make up your own mind, and you decide what is right. THINK FOR YOURSELF.

That what TPM means to me. I want to inspire kids, and others, to think for themselves. I take parodies, and t-shirts to create a message to everyone, and the 15 countries that TPM is in, to maybe take an idea, and run with it. Your mind, or brain, is your greatest tool. Armed with a heart to change the world around you, you can do such great things, even if its with your group of friends. So dont conform to what the TV tells you is cool, or “in.” What you do to make yourself, you, is what is cool, and what is in.

Lastly….STAY SMART

Lata, Levi

For the upcoming release of the Stay Smart selection, we chose a artist, with more a traditional art style to help out with part of the release. We did alittle research, and chose Craig Robson. He attends John Moores University of Liverpool studying graphic art, and he is absolutely amazing. Not only is he a wonderful, and talented artist, but he is an amazing guy aswell. During the whole client/artist interaction, he was extremely positive, and always willing to turn his mind around to find ideas, and you guys might know that our ENTIRE brand is based around, just that

We commissioned Craig for 2 pieces, one being a v-neck, and the other, an acid washed black shirt, which will have an amazing vintage feel to it. For the v-neck, the art on it, has meaning in each, and every element of the design. It will easily, be the favorite for many of you guys!

Also, he sent me 1 of only 2, sketch books that he has! When I received it, from over seas, my night was taken over by going through each page, and drooling over each design!

Thanks so much Craig! Everyone check out his site, and if you are in a band, or maybe own a clothing company aswell, contact him. He will blow your mind!

Thanks to Paul and Chris for taking the time to review our brand! I woke up this morning to this surprise, and I couldnt be happier about it! Thanks so much guys! Click on that picture!

We all wonder this question?

Freebirds, or Chipolte?

I choose Freebirds, feel free to comment on which is better, and tell us why!
