So looking at it, the goat head dude although it is my favorite would make for a shity shirt, much as I hate to say it. So I am going to go for a poster for that one. Thoughts on what you see. 2009-11-12T12:07:16-05:00 50 2009-11-07T12:40:17-05:00 true 0 96321 false false 4551 506 1 2009-11-20T20:11:06-05:00 951 I likeeeee what I see!

Something you could hang over your windows in a dorm room or whatever. Great feedback so far, thanks guys. 96321 Post 2009-11-07T13:13:50-05:00 3154951 506 2009-11-07T13:13:50-05:00 love the 3 on the left and the bottom center need to see a larger mock up of the right 2...cant make them out at that size 96321 Post 2009-11-07T13:25:15-05:00 3155051 13042 2009-11-07T13:25:15-05:00 niceee, like the two on the left and bottom right. 96321 Post 2009-11-07T13:54:14-05:00 3155321 35211 2009-11-07T13:54:14-05:00 so awesome. all on black is best. 96321 Post 2009-11-07T13:58:11-05:00 3155371 12198 2009-11-07T13:58:11-05:00 your new work on Metalink is so tits man... the third one looks sick too...

Or do they make a metallic black ink? Or just keep it simple, black and white on black shirts for all of them. This is not going to be a regular thing, I am aiming for a gift shop deal on the side. Then I am going to transition into doing commissions of original ink drawings as my main focus. I will still be doing shirts for people, and contest, but I want the website to be sort of like my own personal museum on the web aimed at sophisticated adults and the art snob market.

You should paint murals for peoples offices, stores, restaurants, theatre's etc.. I think you could do anything dude! 96321 Post 2009-11-07T16:47:46-05:00 3156961 13561 2009-11-07T16:47:46-05:00 I got one of the warthog of paradise shirts for doing Ript, and I am very impressed with it on an actual shirt. I have to agree the purple is a bit much, I picked it because it matches the color palette of the design, but it's a bit girly for the dudes. I'm to old to care about such things anymore, but for the normal shopper I think It would work better on another color. The monkey gabber shirt was originally intended for a 2012 threads flyer, but I'm glad it didn't work out, it's just a nice solid tripy monkey. I love monkeys. I can't afford them but pretty boxes would be nice. <img src="http://www.brimarpackaging.com/products/specialty_boxes/images/Specialty_box1_large.jpg" /> 96321 Post 2009-11-07T16:53:00-05:00 3157001 506 2009-11-07T17:04:03-05:00 I'm really interested to see where this goes.

I think the black foil over silver on an acid shirt would be cool for the top right design. 96321 Post 2009-11-07T19:18:28-05:00 3157891 9205 2009-11-07T19:18:28-05:00 I want to start a line with you where all we do are one color designs on black and white shirts...that's it...real black tie an all you know...I'd have to sell my car though... it's all about finding the right market... 96321 Post 2009-11-07T19:27:28-05:00 3157981 33471 2009-11-07T19:27:28-05:00 I personally like the top & bottom image the best: <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2477/4082885081_2f4d1c045d_b.jpg" /> I think the others are really rad also, but you can't see the deetz when selling online. You can't see whats going on with the design from a small image, so it wouldn't draw someone in, if that makes sense. 96321 Post 2009-11-07T19:29:35-05:00 3158021 26051 2009-11-07T19:29:35-05:00 i like them all, especially on white. 96321 Post 2009-11-07T19:37:50-05:00 3158111 8975 2009-11-07T19:37:50-05:00 As a line of shirts i think they rule quaker. 96321 Post 2009-11-07T19:39:19-05:00 3158121 11707 2009-11-07T19:39:19-05:00 You ever think of having your work printed on some wood blocks with nice grain on them? Your illustration style would suit a woodblock print very well, and would also command a much higher price point than a poster. 96321 Post 2009-11-07T19:40:59-05:00 3158141 44251 2009-11-07T19:40:59-05:00 <blockquote><cite>Will Petersen said:</cite> I personally like the top & bottom image the best: <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2477/4082885081_2f4d1c045d_b.jpg" /> I think the others are really rad also, but you can't see the deetz when selling online.

You only have like 5 seconds max to grab someones attention with a design while selling online & you have to do it from a tiny picture (especially if you are using Bigcartel), this can be very difficult if people can't "get it" from a small product shot. 96321 Post 2009-11-07T19:48:23-05:00 3158191 26051 2009-11-07T19:48:23-05:00 <blockquote><cite>OvenRude said:</cite> You ever think of having your work printed on some wood blocks with nice grain on them?

Cause i like what i'm seeing and you must have heard it many times: Your style is unique and distinct. Too distinct it makes ya think:"Na, can't rip the Quake, too easy to notice". Ha! I would love to see some mocks on a raglan or crewneck sweater. Some of these designs could even do well on a bandana or scarf. I don't know if you're into that, just throwing up some suggestions of what i would consider. Great job man. You got me hyped. 96321 Post 2009-11-08T04:45:41-05:00 3161271 46601 2009-11-08T04:45:41-05:00 Sweet! it looks like a marketable range, make you identity solid! it's to be the platform for your bad arse designs to shout from. Do the web thing yeah, but I'd also make a mini catalogue a couple of logo tees, and start hitting up retail stores. I don't know what the seasonal buying calendar for retailers is like in america (find that out), but if you get some interest and your shirts sell they'll buy again, hello second quaker range. Tip top mate! 96321 Post 2009-11-08T06:03:40-05:00 3161621 8690 2009-11-08T06:03:40-05:00 Became a big fan of your work when I started to see them on 2012 and is now a bigger fan because of these stuff^. 96321 Post 2009-11-08T07:40:19-05:00 3162011 10367 2009-11-08T07:40:19-05:00 I don't have a great deal of money do to my pooness, but I am willing to spend every penny to do it right. My biggest challenge is to maintain my involvement. I tend to quite when things don't go right. It's up to be to stop that habit. If I can manage to dedicate just a percentage of the time I spend here all the time to the site it will do well I hope. I also understand that just letting sit on the internet is not going to do anything. I am planing an interview series with some selected artist to roll out with, then I hope to transition to a weekly live draw show on ustream, with a weekly free give away, something along the lines of one of my original doodles. The shirts will be permanent stables of the "giftshop" it makes no sense for me to advertise them as limited edition, when they are already limited by the fact that I am the only one selling them and there aren't that many because I can't print thousands anyway. I am going to get the website bill, shirts, and if I have anything left, I'll do some ready to hang framed wall decor stuff. Portland is a great art town, and where I work at the theater I get to see the long list of donations to the preforming arts, so I hope it's not to big of a stretch to get those people also interested in supporting the visual arts. Thanks for all the good support, don't let me fuck this up ok. I need to keep the hype alive. 96321 Post 2009-11-08T07:50:19-05:00 3162091 506 2009-11-08T07:50:19-05:00 top right, the impossible print plz.! can't wait, love the asphalt/white designs the most... 96321 Post 2009-11-08T10:59:42-05:00 3163651 10969 2009-11-08T10:59:42-05:00 Quaker "The Comeback Kid" Ninnnnnjjaaaaaaaaa *crowd erupts with applause* 96321 Post 2009-11-08T11:08:44-05:00 3163661 44251 2009-11-08T11:08:44-05:00 I think some of your stuff would look killer as screen printed posters. 96321 Post 2009-11-08T16:20:18-05:00 3166441 13481 2009-11-08T16:20:18-05:00 The black and white look awesome, let me know when you print this ones so I can order some :DD 96321 Post 2009-11-08T16:42:25-05:00 3166601 12918 2009-11-08T16:42:25-05:00 How much would these shirts cost?

It seems like you have some good ideas to work on and I'm sure there is a market for your art, in whatever form, somewhere. I'm very impressed and hope you do well whenever you get yo' shit together!

Though, I'd likely take her printed any way you would decide. A watery tones/colors option would make me probably make me figure out a way to get it as soon as you open the shop, regardless of price (but I'm a sucker like that). Otherwise, I'll be stockpiling a QNS fund for a shirt or two starting now. 96321 Post 2009-11-12T01:39:23-05:00 3217251 7505 2009-11-12T01:39:23-05:00 Thanks Jaden Hows new new gig at Ript?
