SOME PROOF, READERS: People hire us to make stuff! I was lucky enough to make a couple shirts for the good people of Panic, Inc. They’re from Portland, and their Transmit FTP uploader has saved my ass time and time again, for years. Seriously. I use that stuff hourly. Cabel and Mike came into the shop and put me up to the challenge: “Design us a t-shirt for our upcoming Transmit 4 release.”

So I made them two designs, and that’s what you’ll see here.

Couldn’t be more proud to help out a company I’ve looked up to for so long. In fact, after years of flat out piracy, I popped for my very first copy of Transmit some years back. And one time when I was a little stuck, I called them and Mike Merrill picked up. He helped me find my way through the woods, and we became buds. Service, people. Incredible.

I’ve been a fan of their attention to detail in that software for a long, long time. Little things, that you sorta notice, then reallllllly notice when you dig into it. Very appreciated. I mean, I use these machines to run my half-ass life, and man, Panic makes that experience that much better.

Incredible products. Incredible people. Upload something today, and do it with Transmit. Highly recommended by the Draplin Design Co.
