Why Would You Draw That?
The Axis of Stevil in an effort to raise public awareness of the current plight of birds, as well fit the needs of feathered-friend loving consumers everywhere have produced a line of bird friendly board games. These board games included weighted spinners designed for easy spinning by beak, patented BIRD-O-VISION color schemes for easy recognition, and game boards made of tough peck resistant poly-nylon blends made from real plastic mouse fibers. Look for this product line arriving in stores Fall 05. The Axis of Stevil will donate all profits to the Save a Bird, Stone Yourself foundation.
The Axis of Stevil in a continuing effort to point out the absurdity of modern language has produced a poster realization of a standard cliché saying. While mainstream, bird-hating America mindlessly

Pan And Scan Weekend
Ocular dexterity is an important part of your Health. The Axis of Stevil feels that all people need to keep their eyes open and looking towards the future. By not allowing your eyes to be exposed to interesting images they can grow soft and weak. This week the Axis of Stevil encourages all its readers and employees to get back in the habit of exercising their eyes. If we allow our eyes to grow weak we will no longer have the ability to distinguish the beautiful from the mundane.
The Axis of Stevil has released a series of wallpapers to keep your eyes keenly focused on your desktop. These images have been scientifically crafted by the Axis of Stevil artisans and given the proper balance of visual elements achieving an aesthetic and pleasing balance. Long term exposure to these images will strengthen your eyes by at least 20%.

As Cosmic Redefining, Detoxifying Evolutionary, Lobster Appreciating, Sedimentary Soul Exfoliating, Body Rejuvenating, Dark Tea Timing Overall Good Health week continues, today we celebrate mental and spiritual well being along with your body’s physical state. No matter how many hours you spend doing crunches and sculpting your body, it is impossible to reach your physical peak until every muscle is exercised properly. The brain being perhaps our greatest muscle of all tends to receive the least amount of attention these days. Free your mind of its everyday shackles. Stimulate yourself through music, literature, art, or anything which brings you joy. Take 20 minutes to meditate today, pick up that book you haven’t had time for these past few months, ponder the mysteries of life, or listen to classical music in the car. As you listen to the inner workings of your body and integrate mental stimulation you will find your life balancing itself. While your mental health grows alongside your physical health, there is a final part of your being which can also prosper; your spiritual health. No religion or belief system is proven to be the ultimate truth, however having a core set of moral values and love for your fellow mankind can only encourage growth in your spiritual life. After all, isn’t that the ultimate goal of mankind? To achieve nirvana, happiness, or oneness with a higher being.

It is important to realize that a healthy life is a happy life and in an effort to capture this essence, The Axis of Stevil is promoting the “Cosmic Redefining Detoxifying Evolutionary Lobster Appreciating Sedimentary Soul Exfoliating Body Rejuvenating Dark Tea Timing Overall Good Health Week”. This week you are fully encouraged to stimulate your senses in any and every way, capturing the beauty of life that is before you. Our bodies are quite precious, and the better care we take of them allows us to live longer and more fulfilling lives. Over the course of the next few days, take some time and change a few habits and watch yourself grow into a better, more well rounded person. Living a stagnant life is far from healthy, or entertaining for that matter...we humans forget just how important change can be.

Coming Soon!
The Axis of Stevil is proud to debut concept drawing of another T-Shirt from our upcoming summer line. The shirt depicts graphically, Frosty the Snowman suffering from severe Axis of Stevil withdrawl, resulting in spontaneous combustion. While Frosty's case was an isolated one, and the odds of the lack of Axis of Stevil causing you to become engulfed in flames is a safe 1 in 200. This shirt is a healthy reminder to savor and enjoy every thing the Axis of Stevil has to offer. For "it is good to the last drop".

Grandiose Display Of Self-Worth
The Axis of Stevil made its presence known to a quiet suburb as it erected a 16-foot long pedestrian billboard. The Billboard was well received by the neighborhood and caught the attention of passers by. The Axis of Stevil is proud of this economically and environmentally friendly billboard. It was fashioned from surplus cardboard and reused timber. The grand display solidified the Axis of Stevil position as a pillar in the community.

Wear Your Glasses
This week wear your glasses. It is a well known fact that contact lenses rob your eyes of moisture and air. By wearing glasses your eyes can be free and comfortable while still allowing you to walk down the street without tripping. This change in image will also give you a fresh perspective of yourself. Let loose your inner "four eyes" desires and do your eyes a favor at the same time.
