SmugMug gear (designed by you!)

Hey everyone, I just moved our gear to Zazzle... as their gear is loads better quality than CafePress. We have all (minus one, which I need artwork for) of the winners there... so you can buy the stuff from the Dgrin contest.

When ordering products, pay attention to all the product offerings on the right. Click an image you want, then edit the product on the right side.

We really like the ringer tees, and the women's long sleeve twofer is nice for the :tuesday in the house. Though so far we haven't seen any products from Zazzle that we don't like. :clap I was especially surprised by how good a job they do with color products. The preview doesn't do them justice, but we have ordered Gus' caveman on pink, blue, etc... and they do a GREAT job with removing every last hint of white. It looks like it was designed transparently.


I'll see if Andy can't figure out some excuses to give some of this stuff away frequently. :ivar

    Looks good Ben, but what about the red hats? At the MI IV shoot there was pretty much universal appeal to those. Can we get them as well?

    It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.

    Yeah, what Andy said. The problem with the red hats is that sites like Zazzle don't do the embroidery for hats. So we have ordered the hats from a place that does that kind of custom work.

    With Zazzle, the fulfillment is all taken care of. With the red hats, we don't have any way to automate the process. So we give them out at most events when we can, but we don't have a way to make them universally available yet.

    oh... btw, for those of you designers, if you want some of your own gear... shoot me an email with a shipping address and exact details (type of product, size, color) and I will fire some off to you. clap.gif

    The women's one is under the women's tab, then click fashion, its the 5th product. (If that is what you are asking)

    I don't see anything similar for men, sorry!

    Any chance you could enable folks to edit the back of your designs on zazzle? (I'm pretty sure they have an option to allow that.) If not, any chance of getting an original, or at least high enough resolution to make a good shirt, version of a couple of the designs posted to a gallery somewhere, or urls to them here since I seem to recall they came from a number of dgrinners? I'd really like to have a couple of those shirts with my smugmug url on the back, in #94C82A of course. mwink.gif
