How did you pick your store(s) name(s)? (feel free to write up each shop name if they each have a story) *	I currently have two stores, each are based of my name Rob Birt. The stores are robbirt and robbirtraw. The robbirt store is where all of the majority of my design work goes, robbirtraw is where I put my more artistic and grittier endeavors, and so far come straight from a particular piece of hand done artwork.

Favorites are always difficult to pin down, I always like to think the next one made will be better than the previous. Currently though I'd select : http://www.zazzle.com/ian_wakes_up_i_can_tie_my_shoes_lace_up-167767563564203485 Shoes from an easy reader book I illustrasted, referencing my real nephew Ian. http://www.zazzle.com/little_blue_devil_got_a_little_devil_in_you_tshirt-235000078033192347 The Little Blue devil character I plan to evolve into works and possibly a comic book or graphic novel as time allows. http://www.zazzle.com/light_blue_dancing_woman_tshirt-235900869135153629 My Light Blue Dancing Woman design. Its something I came up with over 15 years ago, it's simple elegant and yet it has a lot of energy in it. http://www.zazzle.com/chillin_square_poster-228258145995489315 Chillin is a recent comic styled illustration I like it has a certain kind of attitude to it that has a weight that I enjoy. http://www.zazzle.com/humanities_child_poster-228966346868110313 To add something from the qwerky side of me I'd have to say my humanaities child illustration mostly becasue it expresses a topic that has a lot of weight behind it but sheds an odd kind of cute light on the topic.
