New Shirt Design (Patreon)

I haven't put out a t-shirt design for a while. I sell shirts and other merch on my threadless shop. Threadless is a print on demand platform where an artist can upload a design and then they take care of everything else. Printing, customer service, shipping. They take the majority of what you make. But I just think of it like passive income. Sort of.

 I barely make any money on threadless. We're talking like 5 dollars a month. Maybe. But I like that someone can wear my art on a t shirt. I just love t-shirts but hate the headache of having to keep inventory, and do shipping and all of that. 

Anyways. I've become kind of picky about the art I put on the t-shirts on there. If I just upload a digitized version of a painting sometimes the color is off and it just looks weird. 

I personally like a black t-shirt with a white graphic. And I wanted to make shirts that I actually want to wear. 

Plus, a simple white graphic takes all the guess work out of it. It's going to look exactly how I want it to on the shirt.

So I make my life more difficult by doing a pen and ink drawing of the painting I want to use.

Then I take it into photoshop and eliminate everything except for the white graphic. then I upload it.

Hmm. Now that I'm trying to explain it in words I think this might be an interesting video idea. 

Anyway. This is one of the new shirt designs I'll probably make a few more. If you have any suggestions of paintings I did last year that I should make shirts out of, let me know!

Happy Feb 20th Everybody

I have two go to genres of music for the rain. Black Metal and Jazz.

Today I listened to the new Hulder album (Black Metal.)

And nublues by Joel Ross (Jazz.)

I'm drinking a strong coffee right now. 

Have Fun

Goodnight Sweeties
