12 FREAKIN BUCKS. JEEZ LOUISE.

pre-ordered shirts are back, and cheaper than ever!! now you can get yourself a one-of-a-kind zb t-shirt for only 12 BUCKS. that's right! every 2 weeks i'll post a different design available for pre-order for 7 days. you can have any choice of style, color or size you like for twelve measly dollars (14 for american apparel guys or ladies' tees). today's design is 666, with 2 other brand new color variations never to be reprinted: 666 red and 666 turquoise. 12. freakin'. dollars. people.







this design is available for pre-order until midnight, november 10th, 2009. after that stock will be pretty scant or possibly nonexistent, and the prices will go back up by 4 dollars to their regular prices.

want to see your favorite design reprinted soon? well you can either vote for it or actually reserve the tee of your choice. the more reservations & votes we get for a particular design, the more likely we are to reprint it soon.

so i have actually moved all of my printing stuff into my landlord's garage. it's a little strange. i'm still in the process of insulating the walls, so it's pretty chilly out there at night. once i get that insulation up and a wall built in front of the drafty garage doors it shouldn't be too bad. still, it's a little weird.

hoping by january to be printing mostly, if not entirely, on organic t-shirts, and switching to a more environmentally nice way of printing shirts as well in terms of the ink and the cleanup materials. it may mean i need to charge an extra dollar or so, we'll have to see i suppose. but it's something i've been meaning to do for a very long time, and right now seems like as good a time as any. seize ya soon peepz.

zbq undies are GO

so after years of trying to get these things done, by anyone for any price, i finally got fed up this summer and decided to buy myself a sewing machine and try making the damn underwear myself. and lo and behold, it was pretty tough, but not as hard as i had anticipated, and 6 weeks later i actually have my first batch of wearable women's underwear finished and ready for primetime!











hope you like those! the images link to the ebay auctions. first bid is set to only 49 cents for each pair, with no reserve! the auctions all end on october 25th.

i will be setting up an "undies page" here on the site at some point but i need to make a lot more of these things first. so for now i'm just going to put a few pairs up on ebay and possibly some other spots, and when i do i'll be sure to keep all y'all posted if you'll just be so kind as to keep your eyes trained on this here space.

i also hope you like the newest set of pictures i put up the other day. jacqui is a voluptuous vixen from hali with looks that kill. me likey.

besides that, things are changing in my world in other ways. i will no longer be sharing space with 2 other printing companies as of the end of this month. i'm actually going to be building a shop in my landlord's garage and attempting to print t-shirts literally in my own backyard. i'm pretty stoked but also kind of intimidated by the renos. but i have some good help and i'm pretty excited to make it work!! it's going to be great. there may be some down time where i can't really print much at all, but hopefully not too long.

oh and one more thing before i forget- i'm lowering all shirt prices to what they were back in 2001: that is, $16 each ($1 more for ladies & other styles). shipping is no longer free, but you'll still be saving a lot more compared to the old prices. i'll make a more formal announcement on my next post. but the prices are down now, and they'll be staying there for a long time.

and whither thou, t-shirts? i'm not sure when i'm going to get around to those next. i've got some skirts to finish printing, then i may start on some zbq throw pillows i've been thinking about. t-shirts are definitely in the cards. but i'm playing with a bigger deck now. can i deal you in?

oh happy day!

i'm back y'all! didja miss me? not really? well, how about some new shirts then? i've got a doozy for ya. happy day is yet another slawek kasolka creation.







having been married briefly myself way back in the dark ages, i can testify that "wedded bliss" is usually anything but. that's why within 2 seconds of viewing this piece of artwork, i knew that i had to put it on t-shirts. and that's just what i've done. so until midnight, september 30th, 2009, happy day will be available for pre-order on your choice of style, color and size, for $3 less than our usual prices. so, much like getting married too young and for the wrong reasons, i urge you to rush into this decision and not consider the consequences, then spend the rest of your life lamenting your lost youth and fighting back the bitter tears of regret. actually, hold the phone- these are t-shirts we're talking about, right? i highly doubt you're going to regret it that much- and hey, if you do, we do have a money-back guarantee.

i realize how long it's been since my last post. i kind of went on a mental vacation there in august- just didn't really feel much like working, so i eneavored to avoid it as much as possible. and let me tell you, it was gooood. but i'm back in the saddle again, and there are great things in store for zb. i've got a ton of new shirt designs coming and there's some zb clothing on its way too. i've already got some skirts made and ready for your eyeballs, now i'm just trying to get this underwear done up in time for christmas. i've had a hell of a time trying to find a reliable seamstress- it seems that they all are, by definition, completely crackers- so i went out and bought a sewing machine and i'm going to try and make 'em myself. i have done a bit of sewing in the past, so hopefully it won't be a complete disaster, or take me years. maybe i'll discover what it is that seems to turn seamstresses into lunatics! in the meantime, i'm still open to working with talented people, so if you are a seamstress who thinks you jmight like to help me create some ladies' underwear, feel free to drop me a line. in the meantime, you know where to find me......

....and the beat goes on

hey kids! hope y'all are having a pretty okey dokey summer. me? i can't complain too loudly, except that i've been pretty much living at the print shop trying to get caught up with custom shirts (or wait a sec, was that avoiding the print shop at all costs to go swimming? i can't quite remember). in any case, i've managed to squeeze out a few items for this here web site. and so, in stock and ready for shipping we have some next please shirts for you. please and thank you!

if you hadn't noticed, i also recently posted some inverse princess, ice princess and orange princess shirts as well. stock is pretty limited so they probably won't be around for very long....





and if that's not exciting enough for you, there's a new shirt of the week available for pre-order until august 15th: team evil (and it's more feminine side, team evil pink) were last printed about 3 years ago and in all likelihood won't be printed again for quite some time. 3 bucks less than our regular prices, and we ship internationally for FREE.








so yeah, pretty slack on the ol' bloggo, unfortunately, but things should be calming down soon so hopefully i'll have time for more updates. in the meantime, enjoy the eye candy in the slideshow and stay tuned for a brand new print in less than a week. to the beat y'all......

next please!!!!!

i'm always happy to post a new shirt design. it fills me with so much warmth, in fact, that i wish i could do it every single day. i suspect, however, that the appeal might wear off over time and i'd grow bored- sort of like if every morning was christmas. then again, i'd have a brand new shirt to wear every single day for the rest of my life, so actually scratch that.

i'll work on that daily t-shirt thing, but in the meantime we'll have to go with a new one every 2 weeks or so. and today is just such a day. i have for you a brand new print from our special fellow canadian and very talented friend, mr. slawek kasolka. next please is a nice wide print that extends completely across the chest on most shirt sizes. i like it quite a lot actually.










next please is available for pre-order for the next 9 days or so- until midnight, july 26th, you can pre-order this print on any color or style of your choice, for 3 dollars less than the usual price. shipping, mais bien sur, is gratis of course. cos that's just how we roll.

all the time, phife

so you have probably noticed a few things moving and shifting around here on ye olde tyme web site. i've been busy at work on a nice new reno for the store and, for that matter, the whole site, and that's one of the reasons you haven't heard from me in a while. i get my head buried in something and find it hard to put my attention elsewhere until it's finished. well, this ain't quite finished, but it's pretty dang close. brownie points for spotting glitches though.

a few improvements over the last shirt store: no more scrolling frame on the left side of the screen, the ability to browse through the entire collection much more intuitively and a new color & layout which are much easier on the eyes. might take some getting used to, but i think it makes more sense. if you're confused you can read all about V1SV11 in the faq page.

i've also posted a whole new flash slideshow which you may have noticed on your way in. the gallery is scaleable to full screen and will soon be stuffed with more eye candy (both new and old) than you'll be able to physically handle with your raw human eyeballs. f'realz. for today, i have posted a nice set of a local model named theresa, who got to wear some of our latest stuff (including a few things that aren't even available on the site yet). hope yer diggin' it, definitely more to come. if you would like to do some modeling for zb feel free to drop me a line.

brand spanking new tee shirt will be posted before the weekend!! millions set to start kicking thee arse once they get greedy paws upon new teeeeeshirrts from la zeebeeque. signing out, rover dog alpha.

princess pea

ghetto P started out back in 2004 as ghetto princess, a design sent to us by a certain artist who was later caught stealing tons of ideas and reselling them- including that one. that sucked, but as a result of that experience we met the real artist behind the lady with the boombox, pat hamou, and he graciously agreed to sell us the rights to the design. and so the little lady lived on, in many different forms.













all of these variations of our lady of perpetual beats- ghetto P, inverse princess, ice princess, orange princess, pink princess and blue princess- are now available for pre-order on your choice of any style, color or size we carry, for $3 less than our usual prices, until july 1st, 2009 at midnight. that's canada day for all youse ignoramusses out there.

so yeah, it's been a pretty long minute but the print shop is getting slammed right now- we're barely keeping up with it. that's taken up a lot of my time, but i've also managed to print quite a few new items for zb and have been working on a really cool site redesign. also been seeing a lot of really cheesy movies with my son aaaand.... printing more t-shirts. that's pretty much what i do. more soon.
