I'm not very comfortable with this whole blogging/self promotion thing so please bear with me. I just wanted to keep a little journal of progress.

Since it's coming up my my 3 year Threadless anniversary and truthfully I'm running dry on ideas lately (realistic Jetson's anyone? Rosie as the Terminator?) I decided to look back at where I started ( admittedly it was crap. Not that some of my more current designs aren't still crap but those were real steamers) and apply what I have learned.

So I decided to start the beginning. If I wanted to do a design about the uber-cool red-winged blackbird- how would I approach it now?

Please don't worry though-I'm not going to do this with all my previous designs. Some stuff is still crap regardless of how much lipstick you put on it.

Also to keep it different and make reading this worthwhile. The first person to bump this blog next Tuesday (6-23) at 8 Pm (EST) will get a free t-shirt of their choice, or a free drawing or print or whatever.
