If you happened to be in a local Hot Topic or Barnes & Noble lately you may have seen the October/November issue of American Music Press Magazine with Rise Against on the cover. If you ALSO happened to turn to page 121 you would see us featured in their fashion section with a small picture of our favorite deranged cartoonist, Candice, donning the Justice Rave girls t-shirt and some really tacky looking 80s sunglasses.

But, in case you missed us, I’ve taken the liberty of scanning the article and cover for your viewing pleasure.

From the article:

Unconventional was one word that came to my mind when I first saw the designs from Assault come over to the office. Assault Shirts are so cool that they are highly susceptible to getting stolen from your local laundromat, so watch your back. This shirt was designed by co-owner Tim Toomey himself, and is one of the newer ones.

Rise Against on issue 35 of AMP Magazine

Assault's writeup in AMP Magazine.

The two Family Tree shirts are the two variations on the idea from Craig Kaplowitz to have a “family of trees”. They currently only come printed on a style of shirts that is made for girls. (Trust me guys, you won’t be able to squeeze into them) Both of the t-shirts were illustrated by Candice Ciesla and here is what she had to say about them:

In designing these family tree t-shirts, I wanted to focus on the joke coming across in a single panel comic sort of way. It’s obviously an illustration to amplify a play on words, so why not have some fun with it? These designs were created on a tablet pc laptop with minor adjustments. I personally enjoy a sketchier look on comic illustrations and the tablet is extremely useful for that. The colors are limited, but the expressions and character interaction allow for a successful palpable design.

Candice is currently located in Atlanta, and spends her time doing character concept work for short and full length feature films. You can visit her website by going to Candice Ciesla.com and for all you internet pervs out there, you can check out her pictures below:
