hilarious! At least she's interested in what you're doing.

My mom says stuff like "Stop looking @ porn! Put your dick away!" and stuff like that.

Thanks jublin your art is sweet AND so are you sweet as in super dooper dooper hang ten!

Your artwork is great! Don't do a mermaid! ;)

But people love mermaids!

It sounds like the kind of thing my dad says when I see him.



"Why don't you make a shirt with .......... on it, I'd buy that."



"But you're 66, Dad. No one else would want to wear that."



"Oh, I don't know about that, you might be surprised."



"I don't think I would."



"Have they printed your design yet?"



"No, Dad, it has to win the competition first."

^lol

My dad just makes fun of me for going on threadless.

my dad loves that ant-eater shirt with the ice cream i bought him



"hahaha he's licking the ice cream!"



"he's so funny"



"i will wear this shirt to saturday market!"

Hahaha. My dad's default setting on life is 'cynical'.



When I explain to him that I've won on Threadless this is kind of how it goes;



"Great. But there must be some catch. So - once they've paid you for the design, they can do what they want with it?"



"Well, yes and no... only on t-shirts and other promotional bits"



"Oh. So you can't print your own designs on t-shirts?"



Pause while he allows this to 'sink in'



"Yeah. It's okay - I don't want to print them"



another pause and a raise of the eyebrows



"How much do you spend on the average design? What about the ones that don't get printed?"



"I've got a 1 in 5 ratio, which is pretty good"



"So only 20% of your designs bear any fruit?"



another pause while he allows this to 'sink in'.



"It's good for my portfolio. I've learned a shitload since designing on Threadless"



another raise of the eyebrows. Dad exits stage left



:/

Sorry - you'll have to make sense of my botched italics

hahaha dads are always cynical- especially of the internet!

hahaha

ah parents... They are always so much funnier when they don't intend to be!

oh and of course cynisism is def not optional if you are a dad!

hahaha, ah, the dad response!



Well, just imagine that but with no prints, fatheed, and the awkwardness is considerably ramped up!

yeah exactually....



fatheed I have your Punk Rock Cock Shirt. It is my prized posession!

haha that was hilarious fatheed 8D my dad is cynical too but not to that degree!

well, I like your designs, so let threadless take over.

My flat mate told me that I should print out the design and post it to myself so that I own the copyright (you own it anyway as soon as you save a file) then make threadless sign a release form for my design.



The closest I've come to having a design was being part of a group collaboration.

thanks fat pigeon :)



Collabs are a cool idea. I have never tried that. The closest I came to that was doing group work in my corse.

I have forty gazillion ideas in my head as well. Unfortunately I'm my own worst critic so I don't even know if I could ever post even to just the critiques. :D

aw. I know how you feel. I can be really hard on myself too!



Now I just doodle for the sake of my mental health, even when i dont think its worthwhile haha.
