EFK or bust…

Hi,

My Eat Fuck Kill 20th anniversary site goes live TOMORROW.

Not only have I created a bunch of new products based on the original EFK button, but I’ve also dug through boxes and boxes of old photos in my garage to find EFK-related images.

The pop-up shop part of the site will only be open until September 23 (and will be closed while I’m at Burning Man). Along the way, I will be adding new products to it, partially influenced by YOU. So, if you have something you want to see, I will try to make it happen. 

–Rusty Blazenhoff
P.S. This probably goes without saying but I’d love it if you checked out the site when it goes live. I’ve moved past a bunch of creative blocks to build it. TY!

Real things you can actually buy: yay!


Shark stroller buggy

Duh nuh: For babies, for cats, for dolls… this shark stroller by Maclaren has raised the bar on whomever or whatever needs to be pushed around ($250). Note: I hear there is a much cheaper version available at Target.

Real things you can actually buy: <redacted>


Censorship glasses

I gotta get a pair of these for Burning Man: Censorship sunglasses, $9.99 via

Real things you can actually buy: play


Querkles color-by-number book

Adios regular coloring books: I spotted these Querkles “puzzling color-by-number” coloring books at Michael’s recently and it really took me a minute to process what was going on with them. If you go to the comments section of this page, you can see how they are created too, dot-by-dot. So cool!
