Sorry for the Lack of updates :(

Haven't had a lot of time to design lately, but I have a long weekend ahead in which I will be doing soooo many more arts, and posting new designs, new links to the shop, etc, etc.

Thank goodness Zazzle consolidated all my accounts to one, so now I can moderate prints a little easier, and even open some NEW shops for just certain products (I have so many super cool ideas in my head right now).

So sorry this was short, but I'll try to do more this weekend! Happy Friday!

Threadless Submissions, the Shop's Revamp and MORE.

So Firstly, in case you haven't been keeping up with current tweets (you can follow me on Twitter @potato_sensei), I've started submitting slogans to Threadless in an effort to get a little more exposure and some extra cash. You can vote for my current submissions here and here.

In other news I took EVERYTHING out of the shop. So to those who purchased last year, you may have a truly unique item as some of them aren't making comebacks. However, most are making comebacks, ALL of the custom shoes are still in stock, and some of the older designs are just getting a makeover so that they aren't just stick figures and someone else's font (i.e. I'm gonna try and write out my own fonts).

Also, the Merpy the Duck iPad skin won a Today's Best Award on March 26th, 2011! You can check out more Merpy on Zazzle, and be on the lookout for more Merpy to come!

There are still many paintings for sale on Etsy, so please also check those out. Also, I'm accepting commissions, so if you see a painting you like but would like something slightly different (or completely different) send me an email, and we can talk about it. Stars and Swirls can be redone in other colors than silver and black, etc.

My Antique Typewriter is up for grabs!


Have a lovely day!

Vintage Item For Sale On Etsy

I will be posting my vintage typewriter for sale in etsy later today. Note that it is nonworking, so you may buy it for decor, parts, or simply buy it to repair it so that it can actually be used (I think it's only missing a spring). Lastly, it weighs a lot, so shipping will be a little more than usual.

A Sad Day for Dangerous Things

EDIT: So apparently I was in violation of Nintendo's copyrights. Until further notice the "Game Boy" and "Game Girl" products will not be carried in the shops. I would also just like to say that I am against people violating such laws, that I personally never had any intention of violating copyright laws, and that I will happily abide by them in order to successfully run my business. Basically, I would feel cheated too if someone was using my artwork for their own personal gain, so I understand that even though my artwork was distinct, it was still loosely based upon a known trademark, and that's what caused the problem.

So today I had 18 items pulled from my shop for supposed Copyright Infringement. This makes me really sad as I had no intention of violating any laws, and the shirts, etc. had been in the shop for almost a year with no outside action on anyone's part, so with the site's approval I was under the impression that I hadn't violated any laws.

I've sent an email to the site to get to the bottom of the situation, because I still kind of feel like I really didn't violate any laws, and I would like to know specifically which laws were violated so I can avoid problems in the future, or if I even really violated any copyright laws to begin with.

To be honest, it seems like a situation where someone got a little carried away with reporting people and just ran rampant through my account. It really is rather upsetting.

February is Halfway over~

We just said good bye to Valentine's Day on Monday, but with the weather slowly warming up more holidays are headed our way.

There are new shirts available at Dangerous Things for St. Patrick's Day! And I'm preparing some cool designs for Easter!

And hopefully tax season will be good to me and I can use my tax refund to put even more cool stuff in the shop, including reasonably priced jewelry, phone charms, and more!

Anyway, Happy Belated Valentine's Day!

P.S. The Valentine's Paintings are still for sale! Get them while they're available!
