more t-shirts!

i have to be vague for now, but there is a new t-shirt company about to open up an on-line shop that has expressed interest in a couple of my designs.

i just sent the art off to them and i should have an update as to whatwhichwhenandwhere soon.

here are some close-up sneak peeks:

snorg'd

well, i had just blogged about some secret stuff last night, and one of those secrets came to the forefront this morning.

my boats n' hos design from a while back just printed at snorg tees:



keep in mind that the above image was my mock up with suggested design size and placement and shirt color.

snorg tees opted for a baby blue shirt, and they don't have any model shots yet for me to know the exact size of the design, but you can support snorg tees and buy the boats n' hos shirt here.

oh, and for those that don't understand the reference, do yourself a favor. pop some corn, rent, nay, buy the movie step brothers; and have the answer unfold in front of your eyes.

design overload!

after submitting "game over." to threadless and having the submission denied for copyright reasons. i hit the threadless blogs and asked what I could remove to make the design less of a possible legal hassle and i was prompted via email to visit loiterink.com. the owner previously ran luckythreads.com (i believe) and brought over that slew of shirts and made loiterink.com in threadless' likeness. the big difference is that the winners of the ongoing design contest don't get prize money; instead they earn 20% of all profits for life on every shirt sold. and they have a penchant for the busted tees and snorg tees style (in fact, loiterink has quite a number of designs on sale at one or the other), so i was able to pull up some of the designs that threadless wouldn't have any interest in and finally try my hand at a place that digs 'em.

a number of them are resubmissions of my threadless works (with slight retools):
go ahead, make my day.
gojirawk.
pen fifteen.
the secret of vyagra.
sesame street fighter.
fruit luips.
toastor.
aquanet lincoln.

and a bunch of designs never submitted anywhere:
boats n' hos
the death of super grover.
duck, duck, top gun reference.
kill them with kindness.
channel five.
and the design that lead me to loiterink:
game over.

here they are in absolutely no order whatsoever:

ten dollar tees!

threadless just began another annual summer sale, with shirts as low as ten smackers.

this is a perfect time to nab my winning design:



*please note that my shirt is twelve dollars, not ten

new threadless print.

the title is misleading, as this is my first threadless print.

a design i had made back in december, was purchased by threadless.



the actual print is a little smaller, as i'm certain they had to scale it to fit girls extra small as well as 3xlarge, but i still think it looks dynamite.

if you're so inclined, you can buy the shirt here.

i was introduced to threadless and started submitting designs a mere month before i began schooling for graphic design, so there's a definite arc in the quality of my work (that i'm nowhere near the end of), and it's really vilifying that the designing playground that i got my start at finally liked one of my designs enough to nab it.

i promised myself i wouldn't cry.....

if you're tired of reading my attempts at wit here, threadless also conducted an e-mail interview with me where my charm continues to fool no one.
