Here's your chance to get in on a new project geared just to you.  It's the Bearded Boy Postcard Project!  The idea is simple.  Bearded Boys from all around the world are invited to send in a postcard with some express of their love of their beard written on it.  It can be why you like your beard, or how it defines you, or even just a doodle!  Photo postcards are welcome as well!  These will either be published in a tumblr or perhaps even photographed for a coffee table book!  Jump the link below to the GBwB page posting for more details.  The address is:

The Cypress Mint Shampoo and Conditioner are ready! As soon as the labels arrive they will be ready for purchase!

Here's a preview of the final draft on the new color scheme and label layout for the bath care line!

Credits Cards!

You can now order from the Etsy site without a PayPal account!  The Etsy site was a quick solution to a need to get the Bearded Boys products onto the market.  The downside was new accounts on Etsy only let you use credit cards through PayPal, which made it harder for people to purchase without a PayPal account.  Well, now for whatever reason Etsy has decided that direct credit card purchases are ok!  This makes the products more accessible until the official website is finished.  Stay tuned for more updates.  There should be some exciting news coming soon...

Bearded Boy Products!

I don't remember exactly how I got the idea to create a product line just for us beardy boys, but after a long road and lots of work, here it is.  The first of many products hopefully.  It's Bearded Boy beard oil.  An all nature solution to an unruly beard with a great scent.  It helps with dry skin too!  Hit the link for more details and stay tuned, there's much more coming!  Thanks so much for everyone's support!

My shirt for the Bearracuda: Little Rock party!

I was laying in bed the other day thinking about what I wanted to wear to the event.  I didn't like my options so I thought I might as well design something new and just order it.  Here's what I ended up with!

Biography of a Beard: Tim Piotrowski

Tim Piotrowski is an illustrator and cartoonist from New York, New York.  He's a member of the GBwB Facebook page and I think he's the perfect example of how we see so many people around us each and every day but seldom realize just how interesting their backstories can be.  If I recall correctly he posted a piece of his artwork for a beard challenge and that's what got me thinking.  I'd been considering doing a spotlight on one of our beardy boys and I was so impressed with his work I had to dig a little deeper.  I contacted Tim and inquired if he would be interested in providing some examples of his work and answering a few questions about himself.  He was most gracious and more than happy to help me out.  This is what I learned.

My work is influenced by Cartoon Modern, the cartoon style of 50s and 60s animation. My work has appeared in various magazines, and online and books.

I've done work for Marvel comics, doing the coloring on the Northstar story that recently appeared in the Nation X anthology that came out in February. The story dealt with Northstar, the first openly gay superhero, and how he was dealing with his long distance relationship. 

My latest work is coming out at the beginning of April for MoCCA (The museum of comics and cartoon art festival). It's Kool Aid Gets Fired, a 28 page story about what happens to the Kool Aid man after he is let go. Included in that is a short story about his bastard child. 

In the past I did a comic book called Glitch, which I did as a self published mini comic. I did three issues of it. I'm currently working on redoing those 3 issues and finishing the story, in one complete book, which hopefully I will have for October's NYCC.

I don't have a particular style to my art, I like the art to match the story.

Great stuff to be sure! If I were to hazard a guess, this would be a guy to keep your eyes on. He's talented, a nice guy and...has a beard. It can't get any better! Oh and one last comment. When I asked if he had a preference when it came to beards, he replied that it would be 'Rocking Mutton Chops'. Well of course!

Check him out on his website here and on Facebook here.

Meanwhile enjoy some of his fine work.

Bearracuda.

I made it out to an event in Portland Oregon last night.  It's called Bearracuda.  I might have this wrong, but I think it's normally a party in San Francisco but now has been held here.  Basically its a get together for Bears, Cubs, Furry Faces and all other associated types.  Shaven faces were all but absent at this event!  I met up with some people from GBwB, had some beers and listened to some really amazing music by the DJ's.  It was a really great time, if you ever get the chance to attend you should.  Search for Bearracuda on Facebook and add them.  That way you will get invites to attend.

Bearracuda on the web.

It's a mid-century Scandinavian bottle.

A new friend of mine from my hometown of Little Rock, AR recently acquired this for his antique shop and thought we might enjoying seeing it.

License to love...GBwB!

A member of the GBwB fan page posted this and I thought it was a great idea.   I wonder how much a heart costs to have printed...
