GYFB Shirt Designs Update

Posted on April 11, 2008April 11, 2008 | 28 Comments

This shirt design is kicking my ass but I think it’s getting stronger with each revision thanks, in no small part, to your suggestions.

After completing the Josh art I am leaning one of two directions.

Josh by himself:

Or the original layout:

Joel, Eli and the planet in the background will be light or ghosted. Probably grayscale.

I like the text much better in this split configuration. I hope to wrap this up and get it in the store in the next day or two, so get your feedback in as soon as possible.

Oh, also I’m thinking this will work best on a black shirt. Any other ideas?

UPDATE (4/10/08 @ 1:45pm):

I’ve been reading all the suggestions and messing around with new design concepts. I normally would just design the shirt and put it in the store, but this one is special. It’s the “I’m A Fancy Bastard” shirt. This brands you as an HE reader because NO ONE ELSE could ever understand it. Taking the best bits from all the suggestions and mixing them with my own ideas I’ve come up with these:

Ignore the background color. I just used a neutral gray to sketch over. I think Joel and Eli would be in gray tones kind of in shadow.

Thoughts?

Store Update: HELP!

Posted on April 2, 2008April 2, 2008 | 18 Comments

If you have one of the “Roslin ’08” shirts, please send me a pic of you wearing it. It’s not for my personal naughty business. Its for COMMERCE!

This will be the first shirt added to the store, and possibly the only one from the old lot (unless anyone is interested in the Dumbldore Shirts).

FYI, I will use these pics in ads, banners, on the site, etc.

Thanks!

New Geek T-Shirts (Battlestar Galactica, Apple, Star Trek “Don’t Phase Me, Bro”)

Check out the new shirts:

Rosilin ’08 (Guys and Girls Styles)

Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for Baltar. It’s time to do our Colonial duty and re-elect President Roslin. Not only did she save us from the Cylons like 100 times (Adama helped), but she’s also a reincarnated prophet or something.

Don’t Phase Me, Bro! (Guys and Girls Styles)

Jean-Luc! What are you doing? I didn’t mean to drink the last Earl Grey, Bro. No Bro! Don’t phase me, Bro! AHHHH! AHHHGGGHH!!! THERE. ARE. FOUR. LIGHTS!

Seriously, Bro. Don’t phase me. Be a Bro, Bro.

iPwn3d Shirt (Guys and Girls Styles)

Did you pwn3? Was there pwn4ge? Do you want everyone to know? Raise your head high and tell them, “iPwn3d.”

No comic today, Dallas Observer, Desktops & STORE UPDATE!!!

What is going on? What am I doing? Where is the comic? What the crap?

I have several projects that I am wrapping up this week and just didn’t have time to finish today’s comic without rushing. I will be posting it Monday. Lot’s of cool stuff in the works.

First: If you are in Dallas, TX, pick up this week’s Dallas Observer. I’ve been doing story art for them for the last couple of weeks. It’s been a lot of fun. This week the story is about a “Singstar PS2 Mall Tour.” I will find out if I’m allowed to post the art here. Maybe as a desktop.

Second: Desktops! I’m working on them now. I will be posting an “Extras” Page (hopefully) this weekend for your downloading pleasure.

Magically Fabulous Shirt

Last part!: THE STORE!!!! OK, fellas, here’s the deal. The shirt orders are trickling in but not fast enough to warrant all this presale nonsense. You may have noticed that I took the “Wizard Pride” shirt down. There just weren’t enough orders to have them printed. Well F to that. I want those super cool people to have those super cool shirts. This weekend I will be launching a new store through Bountee.com. Bountee is a fulfillment service like CafePress or Zazzle but instead of super crappy iron-on transfers, they use a super

awesome Direct to Garment Printing Process. This is real ink on real shirts that are retail quality. They even do dark color shirts.

If you have already preordered: I am in the process of converting your preorders to Bountee orders. The good news is that you will get your shirts a lot sooner. The bad news (for me) is that I didn’t charge enough during the presale, so I will be losing money on these shirts. YOU STILL WIN!!!
If you haven’t ordered yet: The bountee store will be up this weekend. There will also be some new designs. I will post a link on the site as soon as it is live. The shirts are a couple of dollars more but they ship internationally for $5 and do not charge more for XXL sizes.

The Magically Fabulous shirt is available from Bountee.com/user/hijinksensue right now!

The Wizard Pride shirt will be up shortly!
