Why you always mockup your t-shirt design before printing

by //

So a couple months back I started working on a t-shirt design for my brother’s adoption. Some of you guys even voted on some different design ideas.

We thought we had our design finalized, so I took a moment to mock it up on the actual t-shirt catalog image.

Always a good idea.

In this case it saved us from catastrophe…

Uh-Oh

So, morale of the story – always mockup your design on an actual shirt before you send it to the screen printer 🙂

Back to the drawing board.

Window Decals Are Back! – Ethiopia, China, Uganda and more

by //

UPDATE: Window decals are now sold out of my Etsy Shop here.

I’m rolling back out the window decals to help raise funds for my brother’s adoption of a beautiful new niece from China. Ethiopia is pictured below but just 1 of 11 countries available.

Olivia will join these two crazy kids – my niece Julia and nephew Rion.

One of my greatest joys has been watching my brother get married (he’s the oldest but was the last to get married) and finally become a dad. Rion has only been home since May 2012 and they weren’t really planning on adopting too soon. But when God put 2 year-old Olivia Jade in front of them there was no turning back.

So now it’s fundraising time. (We’ll have t-shirts next week.)

Decals are $6 (free shipping) and available for:

China, Ethiopia, Uganda, DRC, Ghana, Haiti, Guatemala, India, Liberia, South Korea and United States.
