you can buy a t-shirt with my artwork on it



hello friends! :)
i finally became a cafe press shopkeeper! yay!
i don't have a lot to offer at the moment,
only one t-shirt design on 6 different t-shirt styles.
i have so many ideas, so many graphics just waiting
to be scanned and uploaded it's not even funny.
i'm having an anxiety attack cuz i'm so freakin' excited!
okay, well, just thought i'd let all you starving artists
know that another fellow starving artist is trying
to take your money. :p
enjoy!

go

Awesome, I want one!

Hmmm, could you help us do one with our own design, or is this where you get a bunch printed at once or what?

all it takes is for a certain alfa male (dan?) to set up a shop! :) even though i haven't sold anything, i know for a fact that cafe press is awesome! i know a few people from myspace that have shops. you basically sign up with them for the "free" online shop. there is a "premium" shop, but you have to pay for it i think? folks like us use the "free" shop! yay! free! :p you have to follow all the guide lines for image quality/file format etc, and then you upload your artwork. very important to read up on how they print and what they need from you or else you'll get crappy image quality. you pick the items you want your work to show up on (shirts, mugs, bags, etc) and the site does the rest. you have to chose one out of three ways to mark-up the base price of your items. that becomes your commission. they produce each item as it is ordered. if you're a member/shopkeeper they have deals where you can buy your own product, "stock up". they have one today for "20% off" all your own stuff. sad thing is that i have no money to by my own stuff! LOL... my visa is shut down til i pay it off. LOL... now all we have to do is wait for a buyer!! LOL... i can't stop laughing. help. oh, i forgot to mention that there is a section where you can simply make your own personal shirt without actually being a shopkeeper. you can then buy all you want of your own design so that you can have it in stock from your own home. my guess is that it wouldn't hurt to do both. that's all from me.
