Yvonne the Intern

Yes, we now have an intern. Some one to buy us coffee, pick up our food, clean our living quarters, do our laundry, etc. etc... oh and she will be taking over our Facebook account and helping us out at CCD. Exciting isn't it? Welcome, Intern.

Who is this intern exactly? Her name is Yvonne, she goes to University of Waterloo and she prefers veggies over meat but that's about all we know for now. In the meantime, you can keep up with her shenanigans over at our Facebook page.

So, if you haven't already, find us on Facebook:

On and forward to other news. We have been pretty busy working on our new product line, hopefully you'll be seeing the first of them by early March. We recently finished working on our in-store displays so head on over to Article 8 to check them out. One has made it into the changeroom and the other one to the front window display of the store, or so Jeremy tells us. Jeremy, by the way is the cool dude who owns Article 8. More about him later, since his story is well deserving of an entire post. Here's a picture of one of the mini displays in progress:



We also have been busy sketching and doodling, coming up with new designs for our next volume of shirts. I stole one of the sketches from Alvin's sketchpad:



Alvin calls this the pencilhead. CCD can be weird sometimes.
Weird is the new cool.

"The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." ~Bertrand Russell

Has it really been that long? Let's catch up.
Here's a 10 second version of what the CCD team has been up to so far...

CCD gets sold at Article 8!


...and that takes us to 2008. So far this year, we've made a decision to limit our Volume II products to be sold exclusively at Article 8. The line has been very well received there so we'll stick to that and see where it runs.

In the meantime the CCD team has been cooking up some fresh T-shirt designs and we are looking forward to some exciting new projects in the works including a new product line and a possible collaboration with an amazing design company based in Japan...

More Crack Code Droopy updates and news to be revealed in future posts, so check back soon.

The Beginning

Once upon a time, there were three friends who loved art, design, music, culture and most of all they loved to draw. Despite having these similar interests, their tastes and styles were as different as black and white.

One day, they had an idea to take each of their diverse styles along with their love of art and put this delicious combination onto a cotton canvas.

They loved this idea so much that they decided to share it with the rest of the world and so, the story of Crack Code Droopy begins...
