Liberty Maniacs Featured in Wall Street Journal

We're proud to say that Liberty Maniacs founder Dan McCall was featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal talking about the fast-paced world of political merchandising. 

The article was by veteran journalist Elizabeth Williamson, and explained how we go about designing timely, freedom-loving gear as fast as possible - often before a news cycle even ends.



"The online political marketplace "is like someone driving a car at 20 miles per hour through a mall, looking for T-shirts," says the 36-year-old Mr. McCall.
 Yes it is.  And making the gear can be just as crazy and blistering when it comes to newsy items.  Understanding Dan's design notes after be blows through 5 cups of coffee can be is just as nuts. 

Fortunately, news-cycle items are only a portion of what we do here, or we would have probably lost whatever is left of our mind long ago. 

If you get a minute have a read.

Star Trib Does Danny

The Star Tribune recently did a write-up on me. 

A little surprised to see the huge "GodKing" t-shirt image flooding the whole page.   Nobody is going to miss it I guess.

I have to admit, I was wondering if I'd get hammered a bit because I push the envelope pretty hard with my satire, but overall it was not a bad little story.  Bob von Sternberg interviewed me, and he was fun to talk with.  Nice guy.

Oh yeah, I just wanted to add for the record that as much as it sounds nice, I don't sit in my living room and work. My young boys see to that.  They do enough damage visiting my office.  No offense boys.
