As soon as Jay carved this stamp of my image, I knew we needed to reproduce it into everything under the sun. I’m already using the stamp for my correspondence stationery, but that’s just not enough. I wanted shirts, underwear, bags, pillows, mousepads, jewelry boxes, magnets and paper goods. Click here to see the collection!

What’s cool about it is that it doesn’t have a big giant “MayLingSu.com” or “May Ling Su” on the design, so it’s discreet. You can wear it anywhere and people will just think you’re a sci-fi geek. There’s a small chance someone will recognize it, in which case, it could be an icebreaker. Or not, if the person who recognizes it considers my site a guilty pleasure, s/he wouldn’t want to own up to knowing who I am, so you’re still pretty safe.

I really like the simple black and white design. It reminds me of the brilliant Obey Giant propaganda, and the Che Guevarra graphic that’s on shirts everywhere. That’s why I called it the May Ling Su Icon.

I’d really love to collect photos of you wearing or using any of the May Ling Su Icon merchandise. Cafe Press tracking states I should be getting my package of schwag within the next two days, so photos will follow soon. In the meantime, go and buy something!
