Thank you for the constructive feedback on our women’s Octopus design!

For men, we’re currently developing an art concept with the working title “Symmetry (Fish).” The version show below is a draft. For simplicity’s sake, the art is shown on a white t-shirt. Final versions would appear in at least two color schemes (it’s very possible neither color scheme will printed on a white shirt).

Once again, we’d love to get your feedback – both positive & negative – on this work-in-progress!

We’re currently developing the new artwork concepts for the 2011 season. At the moment, our highest priority is tentatively titled “Octopus,” a version of which is shown below, and is intended for women’s clothing and accessories.

We’d love to get your feedback via: comment on this blog, email (drygoods[at]beetlebung.com), Twitter (@beetlebung), telegram, etc.

Please ignore the style of shirt – it’s just a placeholder!

Need some last minute gift ideas? Here are 10 – but first, think “summer,” not winter!

1. Rorschach Lobster Beach Towel … or Jellyfish Beach Towel … turn frost into visions of white sand and the open Atlantic. We design our towels ourselves on Martha’s Vineyard. They’re made in the USA and feel ultra lush — a great gift!
2. Cheap Gas T-Shirt … inspired by the North Road pump and named after Peter Simon’s photo of it. 100% ringspun cotton and pigment dyed and printed in New England.
   
3. Serpent Star Hoodie … for the passionate, not prissy! Available as a light-weight pullover or heavier-weight zip-up.
4. Kim Ang Tatami Purse … super popular and completely organic. Hand-dyed and handmade from Tatami grass, we import them from a fair trade cooperative in Cambodia. Great product, great story, great gift! Stop into our Vineyard Haven Dry Goods store for a wide selection of Tatami bags.
5. Multicolor Starfish Bumper Sticker (or Peace Sign, or Rorschach Lobster) … conceived for stocking stuffing (and bumpers).
6. Beetlebung Travel Mug … two gifts in one: (1) the mug itself; (2) 95¢ 16oz fill-ups at the Coffee House.
7. Longsleeve Heart Lobster T-Shirt … new in 2010 for big girls!
   
8. Peace Cap …featuring our original hand-painted peace sign in a “Fidel” style. For men, women, and teens.
9. Longsleeve wrap … a big hit this past summer and fall. Super soft, a great look and a practical longsleeve outer layer.
10. Beetlebung Gift Card … available in denominations of $50, $100, $150, and $200. What’s not to love?!
