So I am quite pleased so far with the fruits of my initial idea to start a small custom tee shirt printing business. I suggested we do something like this to Stephen a few weeks ago and things sort of settled out to nothing for awhile. Recently, however, I have been working with Amy on two different orders.

First were the two shirts from Cristian which, I will admit, were hard shirts to do. The design wasn’t too complex, but it was the sheer amount of text that required quite a bit of extra attention. My dear Amy (who has been the real talent at work here) has been sure to chide me on the little details all along the way. I screwed one shirt up (as I already mentioned) and have since replaced it–out of pocket–and we have started (and finished) from scratch. In any case, Cristian’s two shirts are done and very nice. Aaron Burr would be proud.

As for the other order, I was commissioned to make a shirt for Herman. In classic Herman fashion (literally), this was to a Flash (comics) design. It turned out more or less perfectly and I am hoping he will be pleased with it. Again, the bulk of the work was done by my maiden Amy, so I take no credit for myself. I’m just pleased to have started this little venture.

I am planning to host a small gallery page for all the happy customers of Loud Tees here on the P.Pole. I will be asking served customers for photographs of themselves wearing the shirts (if they want to help me out) and then posting them somewhere. My hope is to advertise a little through this means, while depending mostly on customers’ word-of-mouth to get the connections going. *crosses fingers for customers with generous words*
