Looking at my website, you probably wouldn’t hold me for much of a designer, and I’m not. I’m a digital painter, a portraitist, calling me an illustrator would be a stretch, even though I aspire to be one, but I am not a designer.
However, sometimes, when life gives you lemons… (I’m disabled, receive a disability allowance, but started working more hours and now have to pay the government a lot of money back)
…you gotta make t-shirts.
So I have made a design ( called Upside Down Umbrella) and it is now up for voting on Threadless. If it gets enough (high) votes, it gets printed and I get 2500 dollars from Threadless!
You can rate it on Threadless.
What else can you do? Well, some of my friends really showed me the best way to help me out is by sharing the link to the t-shirt design on Facebook. What most of them have done is not only shared the link but wrote some very nice encouragements while doing so. Some even tagged their friends on Facebook in the comments of the shared message, meaning their friends get notified more directly about my design!
So, what can I say, tweet, share on Facebook, +1 on GooglePlus or just e-mail your friends if you think they would like my design and would be willing to score it for me! The design is still subject to six more days of voting!
