ZOMBAMA 2ND RUN, HOT OFF THE PRESS!





After a hiccup or two with an extremely unreliable screen printer, I finally settled on another company (Graphic22) to handle the printing of the second run of the ZOMBAMA: BRAINS shirt. Well, two big boxes of shirts arrived on my doorstep today, and now begins the arduous process of packing, labeling and shipping all the preorders I've received thus far. I should be able to knock it out within the next two or three days, work schedule permitting. I've got my 8-hour day job to fit in, as well as trying to wrap up a shirt design for Jinx that I've been fiddling around with for too long now (bless you, Kino, and your patience and understanding), but it shouldn't take me too long to do once I get the shirts separated by size and go through paypal printing shipping labels.

Thanks to all the folks who have ordered shirts so far, and for your patience and understanding with the delays in getting this thing done. There will be some shirts left over, but not many, and I'll be putting the remainder up in a separate online store very soon, so if there's anybody out there who still wants one, drop me a line and we'll see if we can't get you one. There are still men's and women's sizes available in S - XL, but there are very limited quantities of them.

Oh, and there is a slight variation in this design that makes it stand out from the TeeFury run -- just so they're not exactly identical. See if you can spot it.

"GHOST OF THE MACHINE!!" -- Inked version


Completed inks of my upcoming t-shirt design. This is a reworking of a previous design that I just wasn't happy with. Plus I had an expensively bad experience with a screenprinter involving the previous design, so I wanted to amp it up a bit to lessen the stigma associated with it in my mind. Thus, the new improved "Ghost in the Machine" t-shirt design! Colored version to come!

"GHOST OF THE MACHINE"!!



My first T-shirt design featured in my online store, POP-MONKEY STUFF!! The site my store is hosted by is PRINTFECTION.COM, and they do Digital Transfer printing, which means they can do one shirt at a time to fill indivudual orders, but it ends up costing more, so my profit margin is drastically less than if I'd have them screenprinted.

However, I DID have them screenprinted (at least the greenish design, for now), but I haven't received the order yet to see how they turned out. I wanted to have some on-hand to sell at the upcoming HeroesCon in Charlotte, NC, rather than just pointing people to the Printfection store. The screenprinting costs allow me to sell the shirts a bit cheaper and make more money per shirt, but each color used in the printing boosts the cost, so I have to keep it low (this is a 4-color design), whereas with the Digital transfer printing, I am unhidered by such limitations. So anyway, both avenues have their pros and cons, and sort of balance out in the end, but I need to be able to bring product to display at conventions while still having a relatively hassle-free online store. Printfection allows me to post any design I want on many varieties of shirts in various colors, and I don't have to order 100 shirts at a time from a screenprinter, but I make less per shirt.

Anyway, I'll post pics of the screenprinted job as soon as it arrives. Meanwhile, head over to my online store and order some stuff!
