Art / Cafepress Sale

[hwango]

Cafepress is running another one of their promotions that gives you a discount on stuff form your own store, so I plan to browse through my art to see if there's anything else I've done that I want on a t-shirt. If there's anything that anyone else wants on a t-shirt, let me know and I'll put it up while I'm at it.

How long does the sale last? My niece K and my brother expressed interest in my monkey ninja pirate shirt, and K wants to know if you have any unicorns ;) but dragons are ok too if you have one that isn't too scary. I have to find out what size she is...

July 28-Aug 4th. Besides the one for the tower, or the serpentish Summer Dragon, the only other dragon I've got is:

No unicorns at the moment.

Oooh, shiny...

I like that one. I wonder if you can make the background shape a little more interesting though, since I think a black square on a white t-shirt might look weird. (Maybe like the Monkey ninja pirate but with a bit more border?) I'll have to find out what size she is, and if my sister thinks she'll grow a lot by xmas.

How does this look?

That looks good. How about one adult L in the dragon and one adult L and one adult XL in Monkey Ninja Pirate? Thanks.

I thought you wanted the dragon for a small child? Anyway, I haven't placed the order, yet, since I'm still trying to tweak artwork for upload and stuff. We'll talk about it when you get back.

Tower dragon

Here's a link to the dragon I made for the tower, for easy reference:

Hey would your evil sock stealing bird work as a t-shirt, or our the colors to dark?

[hwango.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure - I played with trying to lighten the background a bit so the bird stands out more. I'll send you the link when I get it uploaded, and you can see what you think.

[hwango.livejournal.com]

Ack. I lightened it, uploaded it, and the in the preview it's still really dark. I'll have to try again later. Here's what it looks like now:

I think it looks better, now.

Maybe I'll get one myself.

Why all the white t-shirts? I thought I was the only one with killer dandruff. :)

Anyway I was just trying to find some of your shirts. I tried searching by hwango. Does cafepress not support that anymore? Some unoriginal asshole named Wango has put up a lot of shirts with asian pictograms.

How do I find your shirts easily?

[hwango.livejournal.com]

Their printing process doesn't use opaque or white ink, so the only way to have a full color image not distorted by the shirt color is to go white. They don't offer black at all.

Their searching tools are nearly useless. I have a shirt for Katsu, and it doesn't come up if you search for Katsu (not that anyone would, but it's a useful example). You do get hundreds of results with cats in them, though. Unbelievable. I do plan to go through my shops when I have more time and improve my descriptions, keywords, and product names. Lots of mine were hastily posted, so they have an excuse for not showing up...though based on how things work for Katsu, I'm not sure it matters.

Anyway, it looks like you probably already ordered and it doesn't matter, but for future reference, my current shops are:

order

I bought two shirts. A Bactrial Camel shirt and the sock bird shirt. :)

Well then, let's both hope that the sock bird shirt turns out cool. = )
