Crack Baby T-shirt from Bedo Shirts
Bedo sez:
"Bedo Shirts has been making exclusive and unusual clothing for over a decade. When we first started out, we mainly made the designs for ourselves. When we wore our clothes around town, people often asked us where we got them. When we told them that we made them, the conversation would usually end with something like, “I want one.” and, “You guys should sell those.”
We started giving shirts out to friends and family and we did eventually start selling them in local area retail stores in limited quantities. We realized that we had something special when we would run into people years later and they were still wearing our products, like they were their favorite pair of jeans or something.
Eventually we started getting approached by other artists who were fans of our work and wanted to offer their designs and help in the manufacturing process. Once we went to a large music festival downtown, and a t-shirt vendor had a booth that was selling bootleg versions of our products. This was the point at which we realized we needed to do something about it, and we started working on taking it to the next level.
BedoShirts.com is owned and operated by two people:
Dan McDonald - AKA system9 and Five Body Blade. Dan is our lead designer and the main man behind the manufacturing process. He is an amazing artist who dabbles with ball-point pen, paint, photography, and audio architecture outside of the clothing world. He makes our products by hand with a heart full of love, or hate, whichever you prefer.
Eric Hinchman - AKA Hinchmobb and too many other aliases to mention here. My main agenda right now is keeping the website together, updated and focusing on spreading the word through various forms of marketing, search engine optimization, and propaganda. Once I’m done with those never-ending tasks, I may try to find time to dust off my artistic side and help more with the creative process of coming up with new designs. I am also a DJ, producer, and event promoter.
We began working on the site and opened it up to the public in September of 2008. We actually sold our first shirt to a complete stranger through the website on September 24 (Eric’s birthday). We have a lot of big ideas for the future of our line including making our website more interactive and community based. Reissuing old favorite designs, releasing new designs and exploring the clothing world outside of the standard t-shirt."
