Helping to manage which designs appear (and don’t appear) on the CafePress site, Bobby has seen it all. And we mean, it ALL. He gets to scrutinize first hand what content people across the globe are adding to their shops and to the CafePress Marketplace. Naturally, he comes across designs for every taste (including the tasteless).

This unique view of an often-obscure world has obviously biased Bobby’s outlook, as he leans towards the more random and thought-provoking designs. In short, the ones which cause you to stop, scratch your head, and think, “huh?”. And there’s not shortage of these designs among our millions of designs.

“Some are cool looking, some are cute, and others are just outright confusing,” notes Bobby. “I think they’re all fun, though. I do get drawn to the more obscure type of things … as these designs may show.”

We second his opinion and choice of designs, and applaud the randomness of this great big beautiful world around us.

Bai Ling Magnet: I’m not sure what this says, and didn’t get the chance to ask her. Yes, I actually spoke with THE Bai Ling when she was setting up her shop! Alas, I didn’t get the chance to ask her about her appearance in Lost (or what Jack’s tattoo means).

“Earl’s Gym” Gym Bag: What better inspiration for your trip to the gym than this anatomically impossible muscleman! Check out some of the other designs from this shop. They’re, uh… interesting!

Laser Disc Fitted T-Shirt: If you know what CAV and CLV mean, then this shirt is for YOU! I am in fact the proud owner of the 6 disc Aliens SE. It’s great, with only a few slight delays as I flip and exchange discs (each side only holds 30 minutes after all).

Dental Cuteness T-Shirt: Soda is bad for your teeth. If you don’t brush, your teeth may be forced to take matters into their own tooth-hands and use an umbrella. You don’t want that.

As part of our ever-growing group who serve the major brands utilizing the services of CafePress (which includes corporations ranging from the teams behind Snoopy and Garfield to Someecards and Funny or Die), Christy is a people person. She’s also a T-shirt person. Which is what makes her such a perfect fit for the job here.

But as well as her knack for (and love of) finding the perfect T-shirts for a night on the town, listening to her favorite bands and meeting up with friends new and old, Christy loves reconstructing T-shirts. That is to say, she loves taking scissors and string (or whatever material strikes her fancy) and turning those T-shirts into a wearable work of art. She can shape them into her own unique form more suitable to her feminine frame, our puff them out for a casual look. In fact, no seam is safe when Christy gets that gleam in her eye.

Not surprisingly, she loves reconstructing T-shirts with designs from some of her clients. Here are a handful of them that she loves. Although, you might not recognize them when she’s done.

Music is My Life Mug: Since music is one of my favorite things, I just love this Schroeder Mug from the SnoopyStore. Not only does is feature Schroeder doing what he does best, it has a cute saying on the side that just makes this mug all the more adorable! You can purchase this mug, or mugs like this one here.

Nurse Jackie Fitted Tee: What can I say – I am a huge Edie Falco fan! Ever since her days on the Sopranos, I have been following Edie as an actress, and Nurse Jackie quickly became one of my favorite shows on Showtime! If you don’t have Showtime, get the DVDs or watch the series on YouTube! Nurse Jackie is a dark comedy, and I love this dark fitted t-shirt from American Apparel! It fits a little snug, so I recommend ordering a size or two up since American Apparel runs small.

Musing Keepsake Box: Caia is one of my favorite artists! I love her artistic feminine styled work and this keepsake box is one of my favorites! It is great for jewelry or anything small you want to store and would look great in a bathroom, coffee table or dresser.

Owl Love You Tote Bag: Owl bet you’ll love this tote bag!  I love to have a cute tote bag with me! I keep this handy in my car for stops at the grocery store, a quick trip to the beach, or just to lug around all my stuff!! This super simple, yet cute design always gets a lot of compliments when I am out shopping!

As part of our spirited design department, Gail knows a thing or two about eye-catching graphics. Not to mention what it takes to create a well-rounded design that appeals to both the eye and the mind.

In short, nothing boring is going to make it on her radar. You can see this in the fun CafePress designs that have created a spark in her eye. In Gail’s own words:

“You have to love the fact that we live in an era where half naked men on horses, Rebecca Black and sparkling vampires are part of our daily culture. I’m a designer, meme follower, free speech believer and a behaviorism fangirl. Designing for Cafepress is all about communication. Telling your story, speaking your mind and letting the world know who you are and where you stand in your beliefs in a T-shirt, mug or bumper sticker. I love seeing products that drive discussion and proudly make a statement.”

More specifically:

Real Hope. Real Change Decal: Real Hope. Real Change. A great reference to pop culture and Shepard Fairey’s art, this bumper sticker is sure to give your cars bumper attention.

Born This Way 2-Sided T-Shirt: Born This Way is a great play on the bar code as an icon and the incredibly fast moving social changes going on in the country.

Schoolgirl Mini Button: 22.88 million people would appreciate this button’s love of the smart and the goth.

Carpe Bacon T-Shirt: Carpe Bacon. Meat lovers unite and seize the bacon!

Jenny helps CafePress get more folks clicking over to our website. That’s why we were so curious to see what makes her click. And after checking out the designs she loves, it all makes sense. They each fit her personality perfectly (which is generally the case with self-expression, isn’t it?).

When Jenny’s not getting us clicks – or bragging to friends that one of our T-shirts is seen in The Hangover Part II movie – she loves going al fresco to hike, snowboard, eat at outdoor festivals and barhop (OK, she has to come in from the sunshine sometime … like at nighttime).

Here are some CafePress products that got Jenny’s mouse clicking away:

Sorry I Can’t Hear You Mug: I own this mug. Not because I’m a Star Trek fan (I actually had to Google to find out where the quote is from). I like it because this happens to me all the time. True story.

T-Rex Hates Pushups Dark T-Shirt: This design showed-up on our internal sales platform and gave me a good laugh. I think it’s hilarious. The shopkeeper should put it on tank tops
so I can wear it to the gym.
