I'm going to be teaching a 2-day workshop class about T-shirt design to young designers, students, and beginners here in my city and I'm preparing the lectures/syllabus and stuff. I'm probably doing a half-day lecture and some hands on workshop for the afternoon and the next day. I just wanted to ask the beginners, young designers here what kind of stuff you'd wanna learn from a guy like me or just anything about t-shirt design in general. For example, I'm gonna talk about joining t-shirt contests, doing t-shirt design as a career, how not to do an edgil, etc. So what else would you wanna learn? Suggestions are welcome! 2009-11-14T20:51:41-05:00 19 2009-11-14T11:01:01-05:00 true 0 98661 false false 9930 1259 2 2009-11-21T13:07:04-05:00 533 "Hi my name is Jason. In this up and down economy I’m outsourcing my wardrobe (namely shirts) to corporate america and you! I’m going to wear a different shirt for 365 days straight in 2009, take multiple pictures throughout my day and blog about it. Days are sold at “face value” so January 1 is $1 and December 31 is $365." The dude has sold out until March 2009.

But hundreds of thousands have been affected. +As of the latest news, so far over 246 were killed and 340,000+ affected by the Typhoon. +This has been the highest recorded amount of rainfall since in our country 1967, and exceeds the rainfall level of Hurricane Katrina (380 mm). +As of now, 4 days after, there are still families stranded on the rooftops of their homes or on top of cars and buses without food and potable water. +Most relief aid is coming from volunteers. As the government is in no state to help the country and the communications lines are down. So my wife and I are doing our part and trying to help out. We are sending out googoo&gaga stuff to an orphanage and a government baby/mother hospital. We are also buying some food and water supplies to give out to the hundreds of relief operations in the metro. So I'm calling out to you emptees folk, if you want to lend a helping hand you can donate through US Red Cross https://american.redcross.org/site/Donation2?idb=1242664702&df_id=1094&1094.donation=form1&s_sbsrc=RCO_NewsArticle or UNICEF: https://secure.unicefusa.org/site/Donation2?df_id=5960&5960.donation=form1&gclid=CJrO0tqvlp0CFR4Hagod4C15_w If you don't have credit cards and want to donate directly through me (PAYPAL), I can arrange for that as well.

Jimiyo has given me some powers to choose who gets to print. Yey! That means you can submit works to me for print consideration! Teefury is less than a year old but some folks are already earning good money as mentioned <a href="http://www.teefury.com/forum/1015/Highest_Earning_Artists">here</a>. Some Emptees folk like Olechka, DCastle, and Mr. Brady Clark are on this list. You could be too!! Pop Monkey $1325 (I think the best seller so far) <img src="http://www.teefury.com/products_images/top_Zobama.jpg" /> And others: jimiyo $1312 Olechka $906 Randy McQuein $850 Tuism $688 missmonster $569 Derrick Castle $528 Zack Davenport $484 Dann Matthews $456 m. Brady Clark $407 That's not bad for a day's work! Since Jimiyo has said it before, I'm just going to repeat the details about submissions: <b>What's in it for you?</b> 1. $1 per shirt sold. 2. No rights are transferred to TF, so you may submit or sell to other contests/clients. So, if you have a solid design laying around, email me at ajd(at)teefury.com. I cannot promise a reply as we will not have time to reply to everyone. <b>Please take note of these IMPORTANT criteria before submitting.</b> 1. We tend to favor 1-4 color designs. Although we can print as high as 6 colors, unless we can substantiate the higher cost, we will not print 6. 2. Our printing area is restricted to the typical front print, so please, restrain your designs to fit a typical 16x20 ratio. 3. Currently not up for voting or restricted by contractual obligation elsewhere. The key here is to find a good mix between quality work and sale ability. Pop culture tees have done pretty well but we are open to anything. Email me if interested: ajd(at)teefury.com Thanks! 2009-07-16T17:55:51-04:00 44 2009-07-10T12:34:25-04:00 true 0 50751 false false 1567 1259 2 2009-11-18T08:55:10-05:00 925
