Recently, as a community we made the decision to flag and remove shirts that we feel are not up to par for various reasons. If your shirt is deleted, don’t re-submit it until you have taken a considerable amount of time to change the submission. It has either been flagged for removal by the members, or removed by the site staff. In short, don't re-upload it! There are literally thousands of threads, and thousands of shirt designs for you to use as a reference. If you’re interested in getting feedback, submit your shirt as "in progress". If you don’t, and it gets taken down however, don’t repost something ten times without making any perceivable changes to it -- even if it is finally marked "in progress". You also shouldn’t expect that everyone is going to tell you, "Hey man, you need to change this, this, and this," about your submission. If it gets removed, take some time to look at it and figure out what you think you can improve on it before you re-submit it. We aren’t going to hold your hand through it, we have already put enough signs up that you should be able to figure it out. 2009-12-11T20:57:27-05:00 0 2009-12-11T20:57:27-05:00 true 0 108381 true true 59851 4 2010-02-09T09:19:59-05:00 2816 We know you're excited to get your questions answered or to try and sell that old design of yours, but before you do, here's a few official threads that we request that you use and reference before posting.

My question is does anyone find they get back and neck ache from using it? Unlike a normal Tablet where you look forwards at the screen you're almost always looking down. Even when its on 30 degree stand I find my neck aches after while. How do you guys find is best to use yours (I know at least a few people on here have one) 2010-02-09T09:26:18-05:00 17 2010-02-07T19:08:06-05:00 true 0 125541 false false 56491 1280 1 2010-02-09T09:43:53-05:00 387 Seriously I love these things - how artists lives reflect their work or just what crap they keep.

They have this deal where you can offer up to $97 off for a one year contract but however much you give a coupon code they take it out of the money you earn. So I put in the maximum and I don't earn anything : ( Do they have better deals sometimes or is this as good as it usually gets? use the code"AWESOME99" for up to $97 OFF http://www.dreamhost.com 2010-02-09T08:41:55-05:00 8 2010-02-09T02:14:59-05:00 true 0 126011 false false 1219 1219 1 2010-02-09T09:37:01-05:00 124 We want to thank everyone for sending in your emails to get a free shirt. in only 4 days we received over 1000 emails and they are still coming in strong. We wish everyone could get one of these free shirts but we just can't as we are already spending a pretty penny to do this. All emails have been sent out to the people who will be receiving a shirt. Again we really apologize if you didn't get one and it has nothing to do with not qualifying or anything. But we decided that it would be unfair for anyone to not get the free shirt to not get one at all. So we have posted it online to buy for only $5 plus the cost of shipping. This is enough to cover our basic cost (mostly the t-shirt itself). Shipping is only $3.50 for US, $6 for Canada/Mexico, and $9 for everywhere else! http://store.storenvy.com/ This sale will end on February 8th. If you have emailed us please wait to purchase it until you have heard back from us. That will be in the next few days. Due to how awesome this went. We fully plan on doing this again in the future. As the company grows we want to do everything we can to give back to the people. ---- 2009 was 1 heck of a year for Storenvy Printing and we are not slowing down in 2010. Our printing department went from a staff of only 9 people to now 35 in only 6 months. In February we are moving into our new 26,000 square foot facility with 2 new autos on the way and 1 more coming shortly afterwards. That would bring us up to 8 total machines. With plenty room to grow! A huge reason for this is because of the Emptees Community. You all voted us as the best print shop and we just wanted to thank you for that. And for anyone who hasn't seen our printing quality before. Here is your chance to do so! So.. We are giving you a FREE tshirt designed by the great Godmachine to the first 500 people that contact us. We had him design this shirt for you, told him to just go crazy. So he came up with this 10 color beast of beauty. We are printing this on an American Apparel 2001 tee with a custom screen printed tag. The only thing you need to qualify to get a free t-shirt is be able to say yes to 1 of the below. 1. Run or work for a Clothing Company. 2. Be in a band or work with bands (label, manager, booking agent, etc) 3. Be a graphic designer that designs t-shirts 4. Run some type of website that has to do with t-shirts, music, or the arts. 5. Work for some type of company that would need tshirts printed at some point. If you are not 1 of the above just tell us why we should give you a tshirt and we will probably do so. <img src="http://199.44.25.18/shirt/godmachine.jpg" /> <img src="http://199.44.25.18/shirt/Storenvy%20Promo%20Print.jpg" /> We will start shipping these out in late January or early February.

We reached an agreement on the price of the project and I paid him half immediately. He said he would get back to me with a sketch by the next night. 4 to 5 anxious days go by. Then he finally sent a sketch, but it looked like he threw it together in 2 minutes just to send something. We talk about alterations and he said he will make revisions and get it back to me a day later... it's been over a week and I have not heard from him yet! Why do designers make good PAYING clients wait? Should I ask for my money back? 2010-02-09T05:55:08-05:00 34 2010-02-08T21:05:25-05:00 true 0 125921 false false 11807 3769 1 2010-02-09T09:38:26-05:00 588
