Dread the Locks (2012 Of Sherwood Industries)
Alright! The next shirt is done! Dread the Locks! This was one of our first brilliant shirt ideas (along with the San Jos A’s shirt), and now it joins the powerhouse lineup. I spent all day screening these bad boys, and they are glorious. Go Jemile. Go A’s.
Order yours today!

Yoenis Es Mi Hombre! (Of Sherwood Industries, 2012)
The Of Sherwood A’s fans (which is basically our M.O.) welcome the Cuban phenom Yoenis Cespedes to Oakland with his very own shirt! We look forward to some great play from our new hombre, and are glad to see him in the Green and Gold.
Would you like to make him your hombre, too? Email us to pre-order yours today! hello@ofsherwood.com
When a good friend is in a tizzy over some less than perfect creative deliverables (agency speak, sorry) from her design team, what do you do? Tackle that mission like an O.S.I. agent should! 4 flyers for 1 ‘umbrella’ event made up of 4 sub-events. That writes as confusingly as it sounds. Basically, she needed 4 different flyers. The logic issues were mine to solve. Check it!
And if you live in the Greater Metropolitan Area of Seattle, head to the events! They are partnered with a cool non-profit The World is Fun

For those who aren’t in the know, or don’t much fancy baseball, the Oakland A’s are trying to get a new ballpark in San Jose. The MLB commissioner, Bud Selig, appointed a ‘Blue Ribbon Committee’ to determine the viability of a ballpark in Oakland and to resolve ‘territorial’ issues related to San Jose. This was well over 3 years ago, with no real solution in sight. Just a lot of nonsense.
We Of Sherwood are a bit more visual than vocal in our support of the move to San Jose (obviously)… and this is what we think of the good ol’ commish’s committe.
Green Tortoise Adventure Travel T-Shirt - Sherwood Designs 2011
My good friend Jill has been traveling across the Western US with Green Tortoise for a few years now. She got to talking with the SF Green Tortoise hostel manager, and found out they were looking for some new shirt concepts. A few phone calls later, and yours truly was on the job!
The Green Tortoise buses are a sight to behold and a major factor in the popularity of their adventure trips, and a factor they wanted featured in any shirt design. It’s communal travel in a state of the art touring vessel, guaranteeing a wild time and heaps of camaraderie for the willing. I myself have yet to take a trip on this magic bus, but my days of Couchsurfing tell me that it could be quite special.
With this in mind I sketched up a few bus concepts. Each design led me back to the design here. A turtle with a bus for a shell, cruising down the highway to some crazy cool destination. This design is one-color (to keep screen printing costs down-this is for a hostel after all), but there are tons of iterations in the works.

Tub of Toys Logo (final) - Sherwood Designs 2011
The final Tub of Toys logo, complete with woodblocks, a sock monkey, and a robot!
Tub of Toys block font - Sherwood Designs 2011
In doing the Tub of Toys logo, I also wanted to make a set of children’s alphabet blocks to spell the name of the company. Since I was making 7 letters, I figured I might as well make 19 more and throw in the numbers, too. With the complete block set typeset (Chunk from open source fontsters The League of Moveable Type), Tub of Toys can now spell just about any English word they’ll ever need…
