#occupy (heart) a next chapter 2011

On my birthday last Sunday, I had the idea for this design.

Today, 5 days later I am compelled to launch this site and offer my heart to the world again. Sound corny? That’s okay, it’s love anyway. And if you believe in love and not the “occupy” concept you can get the original chalk heart without words.

While the chalk heart can, and does stand alone. The word “occupy” and the Twitter-specific hashtag-enhanced “#occupy” is ripe for transformation into something positive.

I hope this offering, this shirt/design/symbol will provide constructive energy where ever it takes me. It may take off. It may remain just another idea and wordpress site. But it will exist. And I will have spoken my truth.

I hope you are like-minded. Let me know if I can be of service.

The original chalk heart shirt

A long long time ago I was a t-shirt baron, or a t-shirt entrepreneur anyway. And the first shirt I ever did, was the chalk heart. I was a semester from graduating with a college degree. I designed this shirt.

It was a hit. And I found myself in January borrowing money to print all the shirts I was selling. My house was full of shirts and boxes. It was a blast. I started a t-shirt business based on this design.
