Upside Down Umbrella t-shirt

In October 2011, I put a design up on Threadless. Unfortunately, it was never printed. Back then, I was in it mostly for the money. Right now, I just want you all to wear my t-shirt!

I think I owe it t to you, too, because you all made a really big effort to try to get my design printed by rating it, but it didn’t really pay off in the end. It didn’t get printed, I didn’t get any money, but after all your hard work, you still had no opportunity to get my t-shirt. So, I’m changing that.

Behold, below, in a very crooked picture, the shirt you’ve all worked so hard for! (Also available for men, and on totebags!). Thank you guys again, for all you did in 2011. Click on the picture if you want to buy a shirt or a tote!

T-shirt Design up on Threadless

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!
