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”:
And this color is called “Summer Sky”:
This is “Saltwater”, my favorite:
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 — 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 — you need to show them you can succeed, you compete with them, you want to prove them wrong,
I haven’t been working much these past few days because I am visiting my grandma. But here’s one of my recent designs.
Today I watched Michael Essek’s talk “How to come up with ideas that buyers love”.
There are two things that surprised me:
The talk was very informative and motivating. Go watch it.
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 🙂
My best-selling design is 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 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.
