Zazzle Sale...

Edit: Friggin´time zones. Apparently Zazzle.com is on Pacific time. 9 a.m. rolled around here, and their deal changed to Posters / Calenders. 60% off is nice (super, even!) but doesn´t help with the cost of mugs. On the bright side, if you ordered 2 mugs, they now ship for free...? Ahh, well. Sorry. I was so excited, too.

Zazzle is doing sales on some things right now - mousepads and mugs, 35% off, with free shipping over $35, is the one that caught my eye. I'm adding a couple to the line up and hoping they show up fast, 'cause the deal is only today (Tuesday, 8 December 2010). I realize sales like this are an obnoxious high-pressure sales tactic.

On the other hand! Mugs like this are wicked cool! That sucker changes color*. Dude. It‘s black when it´s cold, and then when you put a hot beverage in it, the design is revealed. I want one, and will probably order one, because this sale is way better than the seller discount. (My margin on these is 10%, this sale is 35%...)

Also, I realized it´d been ages since I added anything to the Zazzle store. It is fun, and whenever I get enough credit from selling stuff, I think I will have custom postage stamps made and send them to my grandmother as her Christmas gift.

Here is a fancy link to the whole shop. It is a little busy for my taste, but I guess it´s what the young people like?

As always — should you order a thing I designed, I am very grateful. Obviously it isn´t making me rich, or famous, or good looking. But it makes me happy, which is pretty damn cool.

And, no, I don´t want to talk about the apostrophes. Thanks for bringing that up, though... :/

* color change mugs being a well known and long standing object of appreciation for me.

Baby Squid Baby Shirt

Forgot to say, by request, I worked up a larger version of the Squidly design that's better suited to larger printing. Probably there will be an even larger one later on, but if you know someone whose baby has some kind of Lovecraftian flair, this might be the perfect gift item.

Placate The Joc! Pt. 2

I like the white better, but I already said I wouldn't buy these.

Silly Shoe Parade Continues

I would never wear shoes like this myself, but I sure do like 'em!

SSDD

Here's another one. I'm so, so conflicted about this. On one hand, I love the idea of getting some of my designs out there. On the other, it feels kind of cheap. Not to mention my profit margin is crap. But it would be nice to get paid for my stuff, even if it's peanuts. But I'm not ready for the kind of mass production that means better margins. And I'm not really sure if I like the idea of going into mass production anyway. But, a creator getting paid for their work is pretty much my definition of a good thing.

Here is the link to the place where you can buy this postage. It comes in different denominations and sizes. This is real custom-printed USPS postage!

Again with the print on demand

You could have one these, too. You know you want one. It's what you've always been missing.
