Vintage Wash

Threadless added a new type of t-shirt. It’s called Vintage Wash and the colors are lovely, more subdued than normal t-shirts. They also have very creative color names. Instead of simple “Red” it’s “Nantucket Red”:

Wild Creature

And this color is called “Summer Sky”:

Strange Evening

This is “Saltwater”, my favorite:

A note on motivation

I’ve been thinking lately, I am very lucky that my family and friends are not very supportive. Most of them don’t believe in my success. My mom used to tell me I couldn’t draw โ€” and it was after I’d been working as an artist for years. My friend said that I will probably not make a successful game, ever.

I also have friends who believe in me and tell me so. Maybe all those unsupportive and supportive comments cancel each other out, and that’s why I am never discouraged.

I know there’s a lot of talk about how important supportive environment is for achieving your goals. But I think this is wrong. For me, having only supportive people would not be a good thing. The best people to have around are people who are a bit like adversaries โ€” you need to show them you can succeed, you compete with them, you want to prove them wrong,

This wasn’t the plan

I haven’t been working much these past few days because I am visiting my grandma. But here’s one of my recent designs.

Design ideas tutorial

Today I watched Michael Essek’s talk “How to come up with ideas that buyers love”.

There are two things that surprised me:

  • Michael has a much more professional attitude towards making designs. I sort of always just draw what I like. Michael, of course, likes to draw. But he also runs a business. I think I should learn from him.
  • I thought I had a lot of designs. I have now about 240 designs but not all of them are completely unique. Some are just different versions of the save design. Michael has over 2000 designs! He said that maybe even up to 5000 if you include all variants. That’s insane! When did he draw all that?

The talk was very informative and motivating. Go watch it.

5 weeks of Trufflepig

5 weeks ago, I opened my new store, Trufflepig.

There are 41 designs in the store so far. All of them have cats! I have plans to add other animals but I enjoy drawing cats.

You are probably curious how much the store has earned so far. In total, I earned $52 ๐Ÿ™‚

My best-selling design is SAY NO TO ACTIVITY.

SAY NO TO ACTIVITY

My plan for the next few weeks is to make a lot more designs. I want to have at least 100 designs in my store.

Threadless โ€“ Champion T-shirts

Threadless just added new t-shirt. I am now going to enable them on all my designs. You should too.

Remember, you don’t have to edit each design separately to enable Champion t-shirts. You can manage your designs in bulk. Go to Artist Shop -> Products and filter by Men’s -> T-shirt -> Champion. Then do the same for Women’s.
