Couple of new developments...

First, I'm moving back to Nashville. I had planned to live with my parents as I grew my freelance and contest winning business, but an opportunity arose for me to move in with a friend in Nashville. I think it's a good decision. With bills, I'll be motivated to take on more freelance work, and produce more contest work.

I am also considering printing my own shirts again. Starting with this new design. If you like, please friend me on myspace, I will use bulletins to get opinions on design/colors/etc, and get a feel on the marketability of those designs I decide to take to print.

My Hope Angel shirt is on sale at a new t-shirt website called Tee-Fury.Com. They intend to print a different shirt a day, every day, and put it on sale for 24 hours. Currently pricing is at $11 shipped in the US. Grab this one before it's gone, it will be gone after Tuesday. I printed it myself in 2006, and the design is retired. After this promotion, it will no longer be available except for the handful I have available through Etsy.com.

I also have these designs available through various outlets since the last newsletter. Click the images to follow through.

I've posted a couple articles that may be helpful to artists considering getting into the online design contest ring.

Why Contests Don't Accept Gradients and Unlimited Colors

My Experience with Online Design Contests

Threadless T-shirt Templates with Models

I've been busy this past week. I have several designs on the chopping block. I would appreciate any help with votes or comments if you like the designs. I know I have many, so I don't expect you to vote for all of them, but if one strikes your fancy and you really want it to go to print, I would greatly appreciate the support.

PENDING APPROVAL

Well that's all for this newsletter. Keep an eye out for more!

Thanks,
