New T-Shirts!!!!

So after long days, longer nights and even greater frustration, I have finally posted some new T-shirt graphics! Yeah!

Some of them, 'My  Twisted Hearts' for example, are variations on a theme. When working on a design, I frequently end up with many many many variations, as you can see. It can be a little daunting to have so many graphics that are so similar...
      
     


... but when I come up with a design, or a motif, that I like, well I run with it. 'If I like it someone else will too.'

Now along with all of Hearts, I have also uploaded some other fun designs. Take a look.

  



There are lots more coming and already up @ http://www.cafepress.com/ufh/

More to come latter, I have lots more work to share with you.

Thanks,

AH HELL!!!

I just can't take it, I have spent the entire day chasing my blasted Tail. I have been working on graphics for T-Shirts, and some other fun stuff, but it's all been put on the back burner, to "run errands" for "lunch time" and "nap time" and to pick up Fi from school, and homework. I'm up. I'm down. Up. Down. Up. Down...


I'm having a hell of a time getting anything done, I've lost steam. I've lost my momentum. I don't even want to mess with it any more today.


On the other end of it, I joined Zazzle yesterday and I have to admit they have a pretty bloody cool set up there. Not only can you print all kinds of stuff, from T-shirts,  shoes, caps and other apparel to postage stamps, and coolest of all skate boards; but they have this wicked set up. I can set up graphics for a T-shirt, and the customer can then have their name printed on the back. I can setup graphics for  business cards as a template that the customer can customize for them selves, directly on line. And they have shoes, that could be cool, and best of all... Skateboards.


Skateboards, That's what I'm wanting to design for, but I have all of this other stuff on the "drawing board" at the moment. Stuff that may never see the light of day if I don't finnish it. (What a drag!) That's not to say I don't want to finnish it, I do, I'm just kinda tired of looking at it.


Oh well, I should stop whining, and just get back to work.

I've been working on the fail road... Oops that's not right

Working on some new designs for T-shirts, and print on demand stuff. (And fixing some stuff that had already been done.) Also working on my website. About time. I need to sell some stuff, I need to make some $. Doesn't everybody.

I have lots of stuff to post, including a full work flow of an illustration I have been working on, just no time.

It's just the time constraint thing, Zack requires so much attention, and it can be hard to really work and stop, and work and stop and work and stop and stop and stop....  And Fi-Fi needs just as much attention, just in a different way. Ugh, it seems like I never get to work on what I want. (Whining again.)

I guess that's what being an adult is all about, but who ever said that I wanted to be an adult?

Oh well, I'm off to fix the dryer. Again.

Have fun.

I'm Back!!!

Well here I am. I haven't done a very good job of keeping up with this. I plan on changing that.

So where to begin...

... life seems to be much the same, in spite of all the CRAP which has come our way in the last year. (What a nightmare.)

But that being said, we have been busy around here, new tee-shirt designs. Fresh jewelry designs, stories and illustrations. (A lot of work. Never mind Girl Scouts, Home Work, Mentoring, Cooking [yum!], Cleaning [yuck!], and all around just living. [YAY!])

I plan to get these and more posted soon, if the kids will let me work in peace, at our online Etsy shop at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/UserFriendlyHardware , also at our Cafepress Shop: http://www.cafepress.com/ufh .

Please also look for us soon on Zazzle.

Thank you all for your patience, and well wishes.
