Here we are with the 3^rd install­ment of my 5 Minute InTRU­views; the inter­view series where I take peo­ple I don’t really know much about who are active in the design com­mu­nity and try to get to know them in 5 min­utes! This time I caught up with Tim Fox of Sogeshirts.com (and Teesina­pod!)

Trude­sign: What the heck is a soge, Oh and who are ya? […] 1 min­utes, you are a man with a long ele­va­tor speech huh?

Tim Fox: Ah Soge stands for a com­pany David and I started for all our web­sites. It stands for Son of Grace Enter­prises. I’m just a guy that likes to be cre­ative and  David and I were com­ing up with ideas for web­sites. We did a few and got bored. We wanted to tap into our cre­ativ­ity. […] So we did tshirts instead since he is a graphic artist.

Tru: Excel­lent, Where do you hail from?

TF: I’m from Carls­bad Cal­i­for­nia. South­ern Cal­i­for­nia area. […] Near San Diego

Tru: Do you pre­fer a higher than 400 thread count on your bed sheets?

TF: Over 400 is opti­mal haha.

Tru: Are you an unfor­tu­nate Charg­ers fan?

TF: lmao sure am. It’s painful […] every year the same ending

Tru: Lots polit­i­cal and eco­nom­i­cal going on in Cali, do you let that get into your shirt designs at all?

TF: Eco­nom­ics some­times. We have stayed away from pol­i­tics lately. Pol­i­tics bore me.

Tru: Ever do char­ity work in the name of Soge?

TF: Not yet.

Tru: Do you think the Gov­er­na­tor should carry around a gat­tling gun all the time? […] 1 minute

TF: def­i­nitely espe­cially with the Cal­i­for­nia econ­omy the way it is.

Tru: Whats your favorite pie, and have you ever thought of fea­tur­ing said pie on a tshirt

TF: cherry pie cause she’s my cherry pie. Nope.

Tru: Wheres the cheese­cake? […] DAHHH

TF: next to the pie […] imo

Tru: lol 5 min­utes is up

TF: haha cool that was fun

Tru: Thanks so much Tim, I was strug­gling there myself
