Heart Inside now Available

Finished printing Heart Inside last night and I'm really happy with how they turned out. The two-tone gray on black looks awesome, and I added a small logo detail on the back which really finishes it off. They're on sale now

For this design I printed a new slim-fit girls tee, which is a little longer with shorter sleeves and a wider neck. I heard that's what the women want, so I aim to please. Each shirt style now has a sizing chart in the image gallery so you can see exactly what size they are (just FYI, these slim fit tees run a little small so I suggest getting one size larger than you would with a regular tee).



Unfortunately the Men's XL were out of stock and are on back order, I'll update you when they're ready. But we do have Men's XXL for all the designs now.

Here are some pictures of the printing process:

Here's the workshop... okay, so it's a shed, but it works and I don't have to worry about getting ink on the floor.


Ethan watching me print, he's such a good kid.


And, the finished shirt, they turned out really well. You can't really see the detail in this shot.


Small logo detail on the back of the shirt.


Printed and ready.

New Website!

Since I Started Cross Your Heart back in May, It's been operating with a temporary website that really only served as a splash page to the blog and store. Well today that's all changed. Thanks to my cousin Ryan, we developed a home for CYH. It's still a simple site but now includes info on all our events, what shirts we use, the causes we support and more. So check it out when you get a chance at crossyourheartclothing.com

Thanks again Ryan, if you ever need website development, he's the man. You can see his work here: crashpaddesign.com

New Design - Heart Inside

I'm really excited to announce this new design. I've been working on it, on and off, for months and it's finally ready. It's called "Heart Inside."

People who know me, know I'm sick of seeing skulls on t-shirts. In the last 10 years "skulls" have been beaten to death on apparel, seems like you can't walk down the street without seeing them on every other person. The problem is, any time a subject is this trendy and overused there's going to be a lot of really bad ones. Well this is my answer to that.


Yes it's a skull, but I wanted to not only do a very stylized skull but also make it positive in nature, instead of the typical "dark and scary death skull."

The concept behind this one is that it's what's inside a person that makes up who they are, in their heart and soul. It's about looking beneath our flesh, down to our bones.


I'm in the process of getting these printed and plan on having them ready by the end of the month and premiering them on October 31st at Justice day which CYH is helping to sponsor.

I'll keep you posted and let you know when they're ready.

I love October!

Oh October how I love thee, let me count the ways...

So October is here and I almost forgot how much I love it. First off it's my birthday month, so that automatically makes it awesome (I'll be accepting cash all month). Secondly, the weather is cooling down, I was going to go crazy if I saw another 90 degree sunny day (I know - wah wah, but perfect weather everyday gets old I needed some variation).

So if that wasn't enough, as I was going to my office this morning I noticed all the streets were blocked off, what could this be I thought? Then I remembered, it's Octoberfest! the whole street is blocked off for 5 blocks, and lined with food vendors and random trinkets. So instead of eating my boring lunch today, as usual, I'll be having a jucy brautwurst! Come join me and celebrate the awesomeness that is October.

Next year, we'll need to get a Cross Your Heart booth, all then we can really celebrate!
