Weird is cool. Aside from shoes I like weird or just funny t-shirts. I also obsess trying to find and hear of other peoples business stories: how they got started, what they did to over come stuff, how they sold some $0.25 piece of plastic for $75 1 million times or just how they enjoy their life by living out their passion. So weird shirts + cool business story = my attention. Sometime in 2009 I came across the site: FurFaceBoy.com. Hilarious name for a t-shirt brand and the logo was one of those kids with the mysterious hair all over his body disease always on the front of the grocery store checkout flyers(the infamous one with weird stories escapes me right now, leave a comment if you know it). Right away added to my favorites list of clothing and blogs to follow.
Fast foward to this month I finally bought a FurFaceBoy t-shirt after nearly 2 years of following his blog. I could go on but I'll stop from boring you. Seriously if you ARE bored read his blog from 2009 to now, it is like a book. Genuine story of how someone has and is still working his way to make something out of his passion and creativity. Also a great example if you are thinking you want to create your own line of shirts or some kind of creative product. Don't copy him, just do what he has done....believed in himself. I can't agree more with this quote from his About page:
"I’m one to believe that as a kid, we all have a special talent / skill…a love for something. Whether it’s art, science, music, sports, cooking, writing, philosophy, mathematics, business, or whatever…it’s just a matter of constantly developing that love while ignoring everyone who doubts and makes fun of it.Truth. He even took time to look at my site and write a personal note. Just because of that he's got a customer for life.
Fur Face Boy is the brand for that kid that’s still in all of us, who grew up yet never let go of their love."
The shirt is the "FFB A.B.A." It's kinda like an inside personal joke to me too because I worked for an A.B.A. team back in '09 and it was just horrible how it all turned out. If someone says "A.B.A."....I'd stay away! Grab your own or check out the rest of his FFB Series 5 shirts here: FurFaceBoy Online Shop
