The glass is only half Emptee
I just posted a shirt design on Emptees today. Check it out and love it if you love it. It’s for the band Against Me!. CLICK HERE to check it out!
I also posted another shirt a little while back for Less Than Jake. I was really happy how this one turned out and I heard the print is pretty fantastic as well!

Giving Back!
As some of you know know, here at The Black Axe there is only one thing we love more than heavy metal and that is NBA basketball. Being that we have brains and class, the official team of TBA is the Orlando Magic. So when we were approached by point-guard Jameer Nelson’s management to aid them in refreshing their charity branding, we jumped at the chance.

Hurts So Good
Here at The Axe we are fortunate enough to get to work for a lot of big bands, but every once in a while one comes along that is extra special. I recently got the honor of designing some apparel for John Mellencamp’s upcoming “No Better Than This” tour. To say I was pumped is an understatement. If America was a person, John is that person.
And in case you don’t...

Get a haircut!
Adam Brown tweeted us a photo of his newly framed Swamp Viking poster. I like how he actually got a frame to go with the swampy theme with old wood look. Looking classy dude!
If you want one of these I wouldn’t sit on it, they’re going fast and they’re almost gone!
They also are on sale with free shipping until the end of the year. Yikes!

AS3 Signals
Every now and then, ActionScript 3.0 bums me out. Sometimes, when you want to do a thing seemingly straightforward, AS3 makes you drudge through a lot of monotonous boilerplate coding. For me, this is most true when creating custom events. That’s why I was so relieved to come across Robert Penner’s AS3 Signals. AS3 Signals is a faster and easier way to deal with events—particularly...

BDMxTBAxDMxSWH
oh yeah boi, collab of the century! Black Dahlia Murder x The Black Axe by (the amazing) Dan Mumford and (the me) Skull With Hair in case you were wondering. BDM approached us to do a totally custom hood that was totally different than what other bands and brands have been doing yet not over the top like Disturbed gear at Spencer’s.
The result was a more athletic inspired jam with a...

Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale
It’s the most magical time of year! Christmas movies kick balls even if you hate Christmas (see: Elf, Jingle All The Way, Gremlins, Die Hard). although they all rule it’s been a minute since a truly original take on the feel-good holiday film has come out. Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale is a Finnish film that just started showing here in NYC and I have heard from several sources that...

The Axe Caused the London Tuition Protest
Don’t believe me? This photo just came to our attention:
The rioter in the bobbies’ custody is wearing a Paint The Stars design our very own Richard produced. You’re probably thinking, “yeah, but that doesn’t mean you guys caused that riot.” Maybe not, but this one photo is more evidence than most conspiracy theories have.
Want to dress like a pissed off...

Mind Melter
I just found out that Uncle Phil from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air TV show was the voice of Shredder from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. Now that I watch the video I’ll never get his face out of my head when I look at Shredder from now on.
Enjoy.

Pantone iPhone and iPad cases
Yardley hates these things, but oh well I think they’re cool. Cool cases are the only thing that make me miss having an iphone. At least I can get one for my iPad.
GO GET THEM!
