Friday, March 11th, 2005 by joelFor time out of mind (this is MY mind we are speaking of) fans of Secrets have bugged me to make them T-shirts. The original suggestion was that I weave them by hand, painting signed artwork onto their fronts and then deliver them free of cost. So I did what I always do when fans make demands of me, I pushed them off on the Intern. The Intern then did what HE always does when I give him work, he ignored it. He’s like my own personal procrastinator.So anyway, we toyed with a bunch of ideas. Or rather the fans toyed with the ideas. I can’t be bothered to do thinking around here. It’s my website. One guy, we’ll call him ‘Me’, volunteered to print off my artwork on iron-ons and then mail them to the others who would then provide their own T-shirts. However, this other guy, we’ll call him ‘Joel’, said that while the iron-ons were cheap, they were also low quality. And he demanded QUALITY, dang it!
Of course everyone said they knew a guy who knew a guy who does shirt printing, but none of these highly developed contacts went anywhere. Then I tried designing shirts on a website that promised to deliver them in bulk, but when all was said and done, the shirts were far too expensive to be worth it.
Well I have good news for all your long-suffering merchandise buffs. If you click on the link that says ‘Buy Stuff’, you will find a series of items you can buy with Secrets characters and themes.
Now I need feedback on these. Unless people start ordering items, I will not be able to afford to expand the store beyond five images. So I need to know if these five images appeal to you, and if they do not, what images would you prefer? If you guys like, and begin ordering, I will upgrade the store (at the cost of $7 per month) and will no doubt spend a ton of time designing all sorts of cool artwork for T-shirts and other junk.
