Another Experiment with Merch (Patreon)
Content
Back when Youtube started "integrating" with Teespring, I put a few designs on t-shirts, stickers, etc. on a shop there and hoped that Youtube would display a "merchandise shelf" under my videos like it said it would. It never worked (that I know of), and Teespring has been fairly clunky to deal with.
Then Ian McCollum introduced me to his friend artist Justin Baird, and Justin took an interest in revamping my "cowboy raven" logo and creating some Norse-inspired designs with the word "drengr" in runes. I like his work quite a bit, and I've started integrating the refreshed logo into new video uploads for October. Meanwhile, I'm trying another merch service that supposedly integrates with Youtube (and seems to work better for now), Spreadshop(my shop's URL is: https://jackson-crawford.myspreadshop.com/ ). As you can see from the sample above, I've taken a few of Justin's designs and put them on a pretty wide selection of merch, not just the usual t-shirts and stickers but also teddy bears, backpacks, thermoses, etc. Check it out and see if you like anything; Spreadshop offers 15% off in the first two weeks of a shop's existence, and I just created this one today.
I hope everyone is well out there otherwise. I look forward to hopefully seeing you at this weekend's live interview with archaeologist Ármann Guðmundsson.
Thank you as always for your incredible kindness and support,
Jackson Crawford
P.S. My Patreon messages don't work. I don't get notifications for them, and there's nothing on my home page to show me when there is or isn't a message. I can't even always see them when I check for them manually, and you won't see it if I reply! The best ways to get in touch are: a) just to comment on posts like this, b) to post in the Community page, or c) to email my assistant Stella at [admin AT JacksonWCrawford.com]--remember the 'W' between my first and last names in that domain name.
