Tees in Pod have created a dictionary, if you will, of animal design t-shirts from A-Z, and two of my designs are featured! Two!
Let me first say I’m enjoying all the designs (I especially like Detour’s Easter Island rabbits, Saga’s Sun Horse Moon Horse and Lady Umbrella’s owl); the Tees-in-a-Pod folks did a wondrous job.
But they [...]
I’m always thinking of ways to improve my booth display. Sometimes at shows I don’t have time to do everything I want, but this time I was pleased with the result. I tested a new bamboo+strapping type of rigging to display t-shirts. It needs some fine-tuning but all in all I really like it and will [...]
Doggy Crossbones is here! After years of requests to offer a canine version of my popular Kitty Crossbones design, I’m pleased to introduce this super-cute design to the Rotem Gear shop. So far there are three variations: classic, plaid and Hawaiian, with more planned for the future.
These are especially adorable on toddler [...]
I’ve been a bad, bad blogger. It’s been such a busy beginning of the year, including an awesome trip to New Mexico for the annual meeting of Edible Communities, for whom I do design work. But more about that later! (along with some great photos of snow and chilies.)

The crafter behind this shop in fact creates knitted meerkats of all [...]
The Renegade Craft Fair has been a well-known in the indie craft circle for years, but since it was held only in Brooklyn and Chicago, I had to rely on stories and YouTube to get a sense of it. No more! Renegade expanded this year to Los Angeles and San Francisco, and I got [...]
This past winter I made some fabulous silk-screened scarves to sell at some exclusive holiday boutiques and they’ve been a hit since then. So I have decided to offer them online as well and put them on Etsy. Check them out!!
The scarves are made of silky 100% pima cotton (not jersey), and [...]
Rotem Gear attended a party to celebrate the publishing of the book Cool Jew: The Ultimate Guide for Every Member of the Tribe during Book Expo weekend here in L.A. Here’s author and lovely uber-cool-jew Lisa Alcalay Klug showing off the spanky new cover and wearing a Rotem Gear retro Vegas-inspired shirt “Lucky One-Eight” t-shirt. (For [...]
We adore sushi but let’s face it, not everyone is a fan of raw fishies and vinegary rice. Still it’s hard not to admire the art that goes into crafting the bite-sized dishes. For those who love to look but not taste, there’s an alternative — chocolate sushi!
Personally speaking, when we see maguro or ikura [...]
