NO GOOD:
On The Road!
We at NO GOOD have been taking it on the road this summer. So please feel free to shop to your little NO GOOD heart's content, but it may take us an extra day or two to get your NO GOODness back to ya!
Our first stop was Las Vagas, Nevada where we felt right at home with the summer sun, hot nights, blinking lights, and late night gambling! We even won some playing 21! Then we took our ass to Europe to spread the NO GOODness eastward: Berlin, Dresden, Copenhagen, Sweden... no place was safe from the reaches of NO GOODidity. And last but not least, we opened our West Coast Branch of NO GOOD in Sunny San Diego. Although we left a portion of our heart in grand old Philly, we have transplanted our plant to the western shores of the US to open up new possibilites of channelling the NO GOOD way far and wide. New town, new seasons, and new sights mean a whole new slew of NO GOOD paraphenalia for you all to scarf up and enjoy!
But before we left, we are happy to report that we now are offering our wares at a Bel Air, Maryland skate and surf staple known as the Stalefish Board Company. Located on North Bond Street in Bel Air, Stalefish offers a multitudinous supply of all your needs by way of skating, surfing, or just plain lookin snazz and cool. Check out their MySpace page to get the scoop on who they are and if your'e in the area, be sure to tell them NO GOOD sent ya!
FrankenKnuckle Feature:
Two Sites in Two Weeks!
The amazing force that is FrankenKnuckle, the web-army of NO GOOD, has just created and launched for two of our favorite colleagues some fine websites detailing their amazing affairs and wares of art and outerwear. Not only that, but they each got a logo, flyer design, business cards, ads, and pins in the deal! All displayed for your perusal at the FK site... the sweetness overfloweth at FrankenKnuckle.
Most recently, we have Inkbabies - the online portfolio and contact spot for Ms. Amber Opal, which focuses on all that this Art Giant has been up to by way of tattoo work, painted pieces, sculptural toys, and murals. Head on over there and make sure to check out the SpookyCute Pals and stay tuned for her kitten’s business, Jealous Cat Jewelry.
But right before that, the launching of the Pop Trash Boutique site took place as the crowning jewel to all the stylish materials that were created for the ladies at the PT. The hot little shop that is Pop Trash has been mentioned a few times here on NO GOOD, so alls you need to know is in the sweet site now chugging away at www.poptrashboutique.com. Check it and check them out.
One last thing: Need a site? How ‘bout a logo? How ‘bout the whole shebang? Logo, Biz Cards, Flyers... the whole enchilada? Then head over to FrankenKnuckle. Hot, Fun, Functional, Affordable... did we mention Hot? The Knuckle’s got you.
It’s cold outside...
Time to warm up, NO GOOD-style!
And to keep you nice and toasty as you are trapped inside, staring at the computer, surfin’ and turfin’ the web or SpySpacin’ on MySpace, we bring you four new desktop wallpapers for your computer! Hater, Flambe, Lil Skulls and Too Good are the next in the series, devoutly spreading the ways of NO GOOD far and wide. Grab ‘em in the Goodies Section!
Also, NO GOOD is now available in New Jersey! Check out Pop Trash at 29-A Easton Avenue, in New Brunswick, NJ and tell Danielle and Kristen that you think it’s awesome that they have become official NO GOOD vendors. While your there get that lovely lady you love a lovely token of your lovin’... get her something expensive!
Oh and, PS: Frankenknuckle.com did all of their logo, flyer, and web work! Wink wink!
End Of Year
NO GOOD Highlights!
Happy New Year and Assorted December-based Holiday Salutations to you all! Much has been afoot in the land of NO GOOD...
First off, we are very proud to announce our stuff appearing (and disappearing) in a retail store! The obviously hyper-intelligent ladies who run The Mew Gallery — over at 9th and Catherine in Philly — knew what they were doing when they took in a bunch of NO GOOD items to sell! So head on over there, pardners, and see all the great artwork and items they sell from Philly-area artists!
Second off, we are very proud to announce that our close friends Danielle and Kristen have opened up their own shop! POP TRASH on Easton Avenue in New Brunswick, NJ, selling all sorts of hot girlie stuff: tees, tops, apparel, accessories... and soon some NO GOOD stuff! Congrats you two!
Nextly, congratulations to Brennan and Laurie! Both of them have made an amazing leap to a new town in a new state to open up their own tattoo shop, Plan 9 Tatttoo in Merion, Connecticut. Everyone in the CT: march on over to Plan 9 and get a tattoo! Brennan is absolutely an amazing artist and has done many of our and friend’s work. Also, check out the awesome items that Laurie creates at Sugar Monkey Art!
Also, congrats to Frankenknuckle.com! With three new clients already, the creative forces behind “The Knuckle” are hard at work burnin’ the midnight oil to bring you new sights and sites from Arcadia Loveless, Pop Trash, and Plan 9 Tattoo!
And finally, NO GOOD has a MySpace Page and a Trig Page! Be our friend and tell the world that you are friends with us by becoming our buddies on these two popular online communities! (If you need an invite to Trig, contact us and we'll send you one, we got tons!)
It's Official:

New Site:
Trackaracacycle!
We’ve just launched a whole new site focused on spreading the NO GOODness not only all over your body and things, but in your ears too! We bring you Trackaracacycle!
Fashioned after the mighty Foodaracacycle of Jetsons fame, this new little site will churn out on a weekly basis a mini-mega-mix of the latest and greatest music that we've found all over the interweb.
So tune in and download the first mix of tracks, appropriately entitled “TrackaracacycleNumberOne”. Then bookmark this baby, cuz every Thursday we will be adding new mixes for you to download and get down to...
It’s Halloween Time!
Our Fave Time o’ Year!
All the stores are stocked with Halloween everything, and so are we! Of course we have all the NO GOOD favorites: our Franken-Tiki TeeShirt, our Frank’n’Ashtray, and our Franky Keychain and Magnet. Don’t forget our classic Frank’n Heart Sticker, and Franken-Tiki Mousepad, as well as three Frankenstein-flavored Pins! (Can you tell we like Frankenstein?)
But we also got our “Vampette” Girlie Shirt for the ladies, our Batty Keychain and Magnet, and our coffin-and-bat-wings-emblazoned “Make Haste” Mousepad as well! Dude, we got tons! If you haven’t stocked up NO GOOD-style for Halloween, now’s the time!
And if that isn’t enough to tickle your bones, we have just released 4 new Halloween-flavored Wallpapers for your computer desktop! Check them out in the Goodies Section, just click “Wallpapers” to grab a few!
And for all of those in the Philly area, NO GOOD will be having a table at OutFest this year on October 10th... come check us out!
Oh, and Happy Halloween, dead-guys and ghouls!
All New
And Just For You!
Not much has changed over at NO GOOD: we still have some awesome Mousepads and PokerChip Necklaces left after the Punk Rock Flea Market in July, and have been busy preparing all sorts of new pins and desktop patterns, to be revealed this fall. But most of all, we have a brand new site, all snazzy and easier on the eye.
We took in all the complements, comments, and considerations brought forth by all of our faithful NO GOODNIKS and have sought to make the site a funner, cooler, sleek er web location that anyone would be proud to be spotted drooling over. Give it a whirl and let us know what you think!
And always, stay tuned at the good old www.nogooddesigns.com to keep up to date with all the latest that NO GOOD is up to!
