2012-01-22T17:23:00.000-08:00

Hi y'all! Happy Lunar new year! To all of you that are celebrating this joyous time of year, may you be enjoying your time with family and friends.

May the year of the dragon be a happy, healthy, and prosperous one for you all! Happy year of the dragon!!

Happy Halloween!

2011-10-30T09:50:00.000-07:00

Hi all! We're still around and kicking. Things have gotten a little busy, so the blog has suffered. Thanks for sticking in there with us. I hope you all have a great spooky Halloween. Here's a little Zombified 2B for ya!

Yah, that's a chocolate covered brain. Heehee! Couldn't resist. Go get your freak on!

Hair luvin!

2011-09-06T18:55:00.000-07:00

If you had a little poof with some hot streaks, why wouldn't you? Gots to heart your hair!

2B ToughPig!

2011-08-15T15:41:00.000-07:00

Here's a fully custom design we created for the 10th anniversary celebration of ToughPigs.com. Check out the art created for this event at ToughPigs Art: 10 Years of ToughPigs.

We were honored to be asked to create a fully custom design for this great achievement. We seemed to have missed the mark since we decided to go with the "tough pig" idea and not a muppet theme tho... BUT, the great thing about this is that we can offer you this design on t-shirts, tote bags, prints, or whatever you can think of without answering to muppet mother companies. So, if you're interested, just shoot us a request at wachuwant@my2bs.com and we'll guide you in from there.

2B for a fan

2011-08-13T14:58:00.000-07:00

Here's a design we did a little while back for a Jets fan. J-E-T-S!!

Another happy customer!

2011-07-17T08:00:00.000-07:00

This is bebe de Giao, Violet. Very cute! Thanks for the pic, Giao!

2BCoco in CocoMoCA!

2011-06-15T12:37:00.000-07:00

We made a little something for COCOMoCA. Conan Obrien's virtual art gallery.

More 2B Cubee

2011-05-11T05:10:00.001-07:00

As promised, here are a couple shots of the Cubee we did for the Cubeecraft show.

I did a little Bruce action. Simplified the Cubeecraft's structure to better resemble the form of a 2B. Basically, took off the arms and legs. Then, not having worked in paper before, began figuring how things fit.

At first I had him barefoot. But, after taking a closer look, I realized he had yellow sneaks on. It was last minute, but I had to make the fix. Just couldn't leave Bruce shoeless. I didn't make them exact, but close enough.

For the final touch, I followed Chris' recommendation, and left off the bottom for a more stable stance and added a little 2B extra on the bottom. There you have it. The first 2B Cubee!

Thanks to Cubeecraft and Chris for letting us take part!

2B Cubee!

2011-05-05T19:47:00.000-07:00

We're still here. Just life gets busy and unfortunately passions take a hit. Anyway, we're still trucking along. Here's a little piece we did for our buddy Chris at CubeeCraft. He approached us about doing a custom piece for a upcoming CubeeCraft show. Of course, we wanted to participate. Here's a preview of the Cubee we 2B-ized!

We at 2B haven't worked in paper before, so this was our virgin run. More complicated than we thought it would be... and our's was waaaay simple. It was fun to put the piece together and see a 2B in Cubee form. Our 2B Cubee also has a little hidden 2B-ness to it. Stop by the show and check it out!

Side note, we were very impressed by the snapping action of the CubeeCraft template. Nice work, Chris!

Check out his show if you're in the Philly area. It opens on Friday May 6th at Brave New Worlds, 45 N. 2nd Street, Philadelphia, PA. Chris will be there signing Batman: Built for Action. Stop in and tell him you're a fan of 2B. You won't get anything, but he might be more friendly to you... just might.

2B custom tote

2011-03-17T17:28:00.001-07:00

Here's one of our customizable totes. Just $25! Thought the green in the design was appropriate for the spirit of today. Happy St. Patty's day you green wearin, drink havin, loud yellin, drunk fightin, overly aggressive individuals! Get your drink on! Just don't throw up on me...

This lovely custom 2B tote was ordered by a white chic that wants to stay gangsta fo'life. You go on wit yo bad self! Seriously tho, thanks Livia!

Existing 2B

2011-03-02T14:30:00.000-08:00

Here's another one of those ideas that we loved. A cupcake loving skelly.

Very cute! Nicely done Theresa! This little design was made from combining a couple of our existing designs. Take a few minutes to check out the designs and put together a fun design of your own.

Kind of custom 2B

2011-02-09T20:38:00.001-08:00

This was a semi-custom 2B design. The character was an existing 2B (added a goatee) and the bacon was doubled up (the only way to have bacon). BAM! Easy customized one of a kind 2B design!

Cute idea, Mary! Nicely done! Hope the hubby enjoyed his customized 2B shirt!

Gung Hay Faht Choy!!

2011-02-02T19:37:00.000-08:00

Happy year of the rabbit everyone!! To all that are celebrating, hope you're all enjoying the festivities with your families and friends. Feast, laugh, and let the red packets fly!

May this year bring you great health, great joy, and great fortune!! Go get yours! Cheers!

Colourful Money Collab!

2011-01-26T18:23:00.000-08:00

Here at 2B we are always looking for a great collaboration project. We love infecting your world with 2B... hmmm, doesn't quite sound right... This time we collaborated with apparel company Colourful Money.

On the front, you have the 2B-ized version of Colourful Money's character Hanzo(Baby Hanzo in this project).

And, on the back, you have our collab logo. The 2B logo with Colourful Money's Hanzo ears.

Keep an eye out. These shirts should be released soon. They are initially going to be released in kid sizes only. In red(my fav), black, blue, and brown colors. Check out Colourful Money's shop to pick up your very own 2B Baby Hanzo.

Custom 2B!

2011-01-13T20:44:00.000-08:00

Cute custom of a girl thinking of sushi. We found out it was supposed to be spam sushi. We designed the sushi after tuna... but it does look like spam, doesn't it?

Cute idea Lisa!

Happy 2011!!

2011-01-02T19:42:00.000-08:00

Happy 2011 everyone! 2010 was a busy year. So much so that we didn't get a chance to post most of the projects we were working on. So, we're going to try to be better about that. So, to start it off, this was one of my personal favorite ideas of last year.

A ninja with a pink cat. How awesome is that? The contrast is wonderful. Great idea Karen!

Merry 2BChristmas!!

2010-12-22T21:25:00.000-08:00

Here at 2Bs we've been doing the hard work of Christmas elves this year. We'll post some of our Christmas creations in the new year. Stay tuned...

But, for now, we want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Troy and Abed on a t-shirt!

2010-12-01T20:17:00.000-08:00

I realized that we never posted the actual pictures that we took of the shirts we made for Danny (Abed) and Donald (Troy). So, here you go.

Of course, we did a little special packaging for them. A little Troy and Abed on the packaging(spoken like the jingle).

Here's the Abed thinking of Troy shirt.

And, Troy thinking of Abed. Some people work better than others. Both Danny and Donald were easy to 2B-ize.

On the road again...

2010-11-29T04:13:00.001-08:00

Here's a little peak into our real world. This was my work space as I was in Jakarta.

Not too shabby. Actually, very comfortable. I hung out at the hotel working on 2B designs as my wife went off to work meetings. And, I even met up with Eric Wirjanata (Thunderpanda) on one of my days there. Good times!

TEAM COCO!!

2010-11-01T11:03:00.000-07:00

In anticipation of Conan's return, we at 2B (2Bnation) had to express our excitement by creating our very own 2B Conan. Congratulations on the new show! And, welcome back, Conan and crew! We missed you!

Plus, for those that don't know, there is a show zero online tonight(Nov. 1, 2010) at 11pm. Check it out!

Full custom 2B

2010-10-29T05:08:00.000-07:00

Here's a full custom 2B design we created for Matt. Custom character and thought bubble item.

I think Matt enjoys himself some vacationing. Enjoy!

Fully Custom 2B!

2010-10-14T18:43:00.000-07:00

This is a fully custom piece we designed for a couple that just got themselves happily hitched.

Yes, we actually gave them smiley eyes. We usually avoid using smiley eyes because our character are supposed to have a neutral feel, but a neutral feel didn't seem right for this occasion. So, smiley eyes it was.

Congrats Vanessa and Justin! May smiley eyes be your base expression in your marriage!

Calvin and Hobbes!

2010-10-07T08:09:00.000-07:00

I was informed about this little Calvin and Hobbes art contest. It was held by this blog Super Punch (love the name). This was a last minute project because I didn't know about it in previous minutes...

So, this is the result of a intense 2b mind ephing. Out popped 2B Calvin and Hobbes. Enjoy!

Full Custom 2Bs!!!

2010-09-13T20:47:00.000-07:00

We've been working hard on a lot of 2B goodness. Surprisingly, we've been getting a lot of fully customized 2B requests. Initially, we didn't attempt this option due to the fact that designing 2Bs takes a lot of time. And, the time to money equation just wasn't working out. BUT, the requests kept coming. So, due to the demand and how our upbringing has forced us to crave pleasing people, we are officially launching our "full custom" option. Below, you'll see some examples of the full custom 2Bs we've made. Everything from favorite characters to artist's own characters to joyous announcements to celebratory milestones and more!

Through our experience designing for so many occasions, we've found that the 2B style is highly adaptable... and damn cute if we do say so ourselves. So, are you craving more 2B in your life? Of course, you are! Ever wonder how you'd look as a 2B? Of course, you have! Then, you're in luck! This is what you've been waiting for. Check out our "full custom" page and shoot us an email. We'll walk you through everything. Don't wait too long. This option may no last forever.

2B Background!

2010-08-21T10:10:00.000-07:00

We're playing around with backgrounds. This one is on the iPhone 4. We like it. What do you think? Go to our Facebook page and voice your opinion.

Yes, I still have the plastic screen protector on the phone. It's brand new! And, I'm still waiting for the bumper... Okay, so I'm that person... the backgrounds cool tho, right?

2010 Comic Con 2B shirts

2010-07-27T18:23:00.001-07:00

Comic Con was insane. The craziest thing we did there was wait in a huge line to get a ticket to get in another line... That's crazy, right? At least we got our exclusive Transformer out of it. :) Well, here are the 2B shirts that were worn at Comic Con this year.

Yep, that's me... thinking of myself... in a super hero outfit. Hell's yeah!!

We've been wanting to make a logo shirt for while now. Figured this was as good a time as any other. BAM! Logo shirt. The letters have a pattern of characters tossed within them.

And, of course, single character shirt. 2B Batman.

2B shirts for the Con

2010-07-26T19:08:00.001-07:00

Sneak peek revealed! Out of respect for the man that had so much to do with creating so many of our favorite super heroes, we designed 2B Stan to walk SDCC with. And, of course, some of his most popular characters are in his thought bubble.

Those that got a good look at it asked about it. Some were even awesome artists. Niiice!

2B at Comic Con!

2010-07-23T22:17:00.000-07:00

We were wondering around aimlessly in Comic Con because it was our first time there. Totally overwhelmed by the insanity of the whole situation. BAM!! We came across someone sporting our 2B Ninjy! Didn't expect it at all.

Woot! 2B representin at the 2010 SDCC!!

Sneak Peek!

2010-07-11T17:49:00.001-07:00

2B will be at SDCC (San Diego Comic Con) this year... well not representing at a booth. But, we will be there in person checking out the comic book craziness and do a little/a lot of geeking out ourselves. Here's a little sneak peek to one of the designs we'll be wearing.

To those that are comic book fans, this design will be very obvious. There are actually six characters in the thought bubble. It just had to be done. If you see us at SDCC, say hi!

2B Reveal

2010-06-29T16:43:00.001-07:00

This is one of the pieces we sneak peeked earlier in our posts. It was requested by one of our 2Bnation members. Nice idea, Janie.

It's a designer and his product. I honestly would not have recognized the guy if someone didn't tell me about him. I know, lame. But, he was a fun character to make. The bag was a bit of challenge, but I think it worked out. Enjoy!

2Bs in action

2010-06-22T21:43:00.000-07:00

Here are some pics (thanks to Ian Monsod) of the Sesame corporate challenge team sporting the previously mentioned shirt.

Nice team shot with brand new shirts all neat and clean. I bet they even had that new shirt smell...

Always important to stretch... what's that guy on the right doing? That's doesn't look like stretching. Eh, he's not part of Sesame's team anyway.

A few of team Sesame in the challenge. Yeah, I think Sesame had the best shirts. Who's with me?

2B Sesame

2010-06-20T20:30:00.000-07:00

Sesame takes part in an event called the JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge every year. It's an event where company employees walk/run a 5K route with tens of thousands of other runners from other companies in the New York area. The event benefits many non-for-profit organizations throughout the city.

This year we designed their shirts for their run. We heard there were many jealous reactions as they made their way through the 5K. Nice!

2B in action

2010-06-13T12:56:00.001-07:00

This is one of the earliest character that we made while playing with the 2B designs.

We were playing around to see how adaptable the style was. And, to our surprise, it was VERY adaptable. We haven't come across a character we couldn't adapt... yet. Tell me that Maul ain't cute with his glowing red evilness.

2b Texture Culture design

2010-06-04T05:08:00.000-07:00

This is a little something we made for our friends at TextureCulture.com.

They were good enough to give us some coverage and lead a ton of people to our Facebook page, so we made them a little something for their character Lemi.

Sneak Peek time!

2010-06-03T07:50:00.000-07:00

For most that see this, they will have no idea what this is. But, for those few, I hope you enjoy the possibilities.

This was a design was a bit of a challenge to figure out, but I think its getting there.

2B full custom

2010-05-31T16:56:00.000-07:00

Here's the full image of the sneak peek that we previously teased.

This was a full custom request made by one of our very own 2B nation members. She wanted a design for her and her boyfriend. How cute! Last I heard, they both enjoyed the design. Thanks, Josephine!

Family Reunion

2010-05-21T05:32:00.001-07:00

This is what we've been working on for the past month or so. A 2B family reunion for the Tsang family. It was more work than we expected. A lot of eyeball to screen time... with TV running in the background. Some of the designs revealed themselves, while others were a fight all the way through.

This was the initial design. We went with the straight forward family tree set up. But, this turned out to be problematic because it was too wide to be printed on some items.

After some thought we came up with this circular family tree. This worked a lot better. And, visually, I think its pretty neat.

Plus, we did a family cluster. The spacing was not as smooth as we'd like, but it works out.

Sneak peek

2010-05-13T21:59:00.000-07:00

Here's a little sneak peak at what we're working on by requests from one of our 2Bnation friends. As soon as they commissioned us for this design, we were excited to take a stab at it.

We're sure most of you already know what it is. Don't spoil if for the others. And, if you don't, shame on you. Go study up on your nerd-dom!

2B in Greece!

2010-05-04T14:25:00.000-07:00

Anyone that has picked up their very own 2B item can send in their images of their 2B in action. We might even post it... if its not obscene...

This is 2B in Greece. Looks like that 2B had a great vacation. Thanks, June!

New design in store!

2010-04-12T20:37:00.000-07:00

A new design has been added to the Cafepress store!

This is the Asian Chic. We know that the Asian chics have been a very popular choice for many years. And, they've seem to become more popular as time goes on. So, here's one for all of you that appreciate the Asian chic. The design is made with the white dude, but can be customized with any other color of dude as well. Or, even other chics.

Recent Custom!

2010-04-04T08:07:00.001-07:00
