Holy Fucking Art Night Batman! ... And You Guys!
7.31.2009
Well it's the beginning of a new month, or rather the end of an old one, and we'd like to tell you about some of the things that are going to be happening next Friday, the 7th of August. Firstly, chronologically and not by matter of importance, Oddity Commodity will be making its triumphant return to First Friday. We will be taking up our new place on the Conspire lawn and are as excited as 14-year-old girls waiting for the next school dance, ie very excited. We're a little bit nervous of the reception at our new digs so come on out and show us why we're still in this business. Lastly, one of our very own members, James Beso Hiralez (Yes, that's his real middle name), is going to be joining our good friend TalentZero aka Ray Rivas for an art show entitled "Afro La Raza" at the famed Wrigley Mansion. The show will also be taking place on August 7th and will be from 7:30pm - 11:00pm with a $10 cover charge. So whether you're interested in a more free, raucous, homely art scene or a more upscale, formal, fine art feel we've gotcha covered. For more info on the "Afro La Raza" show, go to TalentZero.com or click here. Thanks again comrades.
Conspire: Arts Cooperative For You & Me!
7.15.2009
We're another synonym for happy to announce that we are now a part of the Conspire Arts Cooperative! We'd like to thank the members of Conspire for letting us join their elusive, prestigious and highly coveted group. What this means for you, our beloved fans, is we will now be showcasing our shirts in the Conspire house in downtown Phoenix at 5th St. & Garfield. Also, this means that after our well deserved month off, we will be vending at the August First Friday on August 7th. We will now be located on the Conspire lawn rather than the booth we usually occupied. So, we hope you'll come check out our new digs at Conspire. Peace.
We're On The Market!
6.15.2009
We're happy to announce that OddCo merchandise is now carried in two shops in the Phoenix area. We're now featured in Drawn To Comics (Voted 2008 Phoenix New Times Best Comic Book Shop) in Glendale, AZ and Culture Fresh Boutique in Downtown Phoenix! So if you get chance to check out either of these fine establishments, we highly suggest it. Support local business. Peace.
Floaty Recall...
6.9.2009
It has just come to our attention that the ink used to print on some of the Floaty shirts may not have been fully cured. Unfortunately, this means that when washed, parts of the design may wash out or fade from the shirt. We at OddCo believe in quality above all else and were worried to say the least when this was brought to our attention. So, we have taken steps to fix the shirts we currently have in stock, so any shirt we sell from this point forward should have no problems whatsoever. However, if you've previously purchased a Floaty shirt and are experiencing this problem, please contact us as soon as possible and we will replace your shirt or exchange it for another design at no cost to you. Thanks for your understanding and we hope to see you at our next event. Peace.
We'd Like To Welcome The Women Of The World To OddCo! Hello.
6.3.2009

So we're putting out our very first women's shirts and we are fuckin' excited. We got many a request to clothe the fair maidens of our land and we feel we rose to the occasion spectacularly. So to the women of the world, you're welcome and we hope to see you in even more of our clothes in the future. Peace. |
June First Friday!
6.3.2009
| We are going to be at the June First Friday in downtown Phoenix on Friday, June 5th. We're going to be out there from 6pm till 11pm and we hope to see you come out.

It's Been Awhile, But Thanks For The Support!
5.16.2009
We've had a really good month and unfortunately, that means I've been too busy(lazy) to put any updates on the site. Well we're back and here to tell you all thanks! We had a great turnout at the May First Friday and really are starting to feel the love. We were also incredibly fortunate enough to be featured at Drawn To Comics' First Annual Free Comic Book Day. There are new pics up in our Gallery to prove it. We had such a warm reception and were just thrilled to have so many people enjoying our art. We'd like to thank Ken and his family for having us and to every person who was there volunteering. You guys were great and sure made the day more fun. Well, if we've forgotten to thank anyone for anything, we're very sorry. Email us and we'll be happy to correct our mistake. Thanks again everyone! We hope to see you June 5th for the next First Friday. Peace.

Shrunken Head Shirt Rumors Debunked!
2.3.2009
There have been numerous rumors floating around about our new Collector's Edition Shrunken Head shirts and I'd like to take a minute to clear them up.
- First of all, there has been a rumor about the shirts having the Shrunken Head's eyes "hand-stitched" shut. This is a complete farce. We're not exactly sure who started spreading this misinformation. We think it was us actually, but nevertheless, it is inaccurate. We'd like to apologize for the confusion and assure you that you will still be receiving a quality product that you'd be proud to tell all your friends about.
- Secondly, there's been word that the relationship between the designers Christopher Burkheart and James Hiralez is "on the rocks". This is ridiculous! The two have never been more in love and continue to design harmonious when not taking their twin Shih Tzus, Alexander & Sprinkles, for long sunset walks.
- Lastly, it seems to be widely believed that by chanting the phrase "Ada Due Damballa, Give Me The Power I Beg Of You", you may transfer your soul to another's body. While it may most likely be true, the claims are unsubstantiated.
Thank you. Shrunken Head Shirt Promotion!
1.26.2009
We will be running a promotion with the sales of our Collector's Edition Shrunken Head shirts! When you buy your CESH shirt, check the back of your numbered hang tag for our official Oddity Commodity sticker. If you have either a gold foil or silver foil sticker on your hang tag, you will instantly win a prize! The prizes for the gold shirts will either be a limited "non-foil" CESH shirt or a framed copy of the Shrunken Head design that has been hand colored by our colorist James and can be seen here. The piece is signed by James (colorist/inker) and Chris (penciler/concept artist). So make sure you get your shirt before the limited numbers disappear!
