The who, what, where and why of it all…

What is Hardlywood?

[Johnny Cusp] Hardlywood Design is what Barny and I do. We come up with ideas, slap them on anything that isn’t moving fast enough to get away and then make them available in our shop for you to buy.

[Barny Cusp] We try to ensure that all of our products are amusing.

[Johnny Cusp] At least to us.

[Barny Cusp] Of course, if anyone else finds it amusing then bonus!

[Johnny Cusp] We have a few broad categories of designs (note: these links open in a new window):

  • Hardlywood - This is our primary brand anything that covers anything not specific.
  • Risquewood - For our naughtier designs although we try to stay away from crass it’s not a guarantee.
  • G33kw00d - For the more technology-enabled shopper. These designs have a bit of a focus on interwub pop-culture.
  • Ecowood - For the environmentally conscientious

What is On the Cusp?

[Barny Cusp] Our blog of sorts. We try to talk a little bit about our designs, post web-comics and maybe the odd puzzle as well.

[Johnny Cusp] Yeah we have a few different things cooking that we want to do with this site. So stay tuned.

Who are Johnny & Barny Cusp?

[Johnny Cusp] Co-designer of all things Hardlywood. I sing, I dance and I create very odd things and then put them on t-shirts. I can’t draw but my mother says that I smell nice.

[Barny Cusp] If he’s the brains of this operation then I’m the heart…

[Johnny Cusp] Who said I was the brains?

[Barny Cusp] I thought we agreed on brains and heart. I had this this whole thing about hearts written here.

Johnny Cusp] Yeah. I changed that. Wasn’t really working for me.

[Barny Cusp] I stayed up all night writing that…

Fine. I’m Barny and I’m the pancreas of this operation. I probably do something quite vital but only experts could really tell you what.

[Johnny Cusp] Go Team!
