I’ve Been Busy

Designing, you know. Stuff. Stuff that goes on cloth, for example.

Stuff like T-shirts. More specifically, my new T-shirt store at zazzle.com. I must say, the way they make use of Javascript there for users to customize their designs is indeed intruiging, if not refreshing. And it actually works pretty well, which is in itself quite amazing; too used I am to Javascript applications that fall flat on their face due to the bogged-weight of hindrances which involve bugs of some sort or other.

Apparently, Zazzle.com also allows associates to have a basic panel, a little panel made with CSS and presumably Javascript that continuously provides viewers with samples of products made by said associate. It’s too bad I cannot display it within a blog post, though: Blogger has an innate dislike for tags such as script, which is actually quite wise.

So I shall have to settle with a little display of a design instead. Do note that Zazzle actually dislikes people stealing the images on its site, but seeing as that I’m the fucking designer of this product, I guess some leeway is in order here. Do forgive me.

Seem familiar?

It is kind of neat, the way Zazzle provides various options for sellers to grab more market share. At any rate, I’m enjoying this newfound faucet for my creative skills to enlast their grasp; already 8 designs are uploaded at this point in time, with much, much more on the way. I have a text file here with random strings of characters for T-shirt ideas, along with the others I already have catalogued in my head. Just because I never had time to design T-shirts doesn’t mean I can’t think about them.

Anyway, T-shirts are not the only thing that have consumed my life recently. Oh, no. Have a look at a little concept art for the comic that still languishes somewhere between reality and the recycle bin:

Alias Sketchbook Pro, how I adore thee. Especially when I have the power of a Wacom to endorse its capabilities. As you can probably tell by now, my skills with down-to-earth drawing aren’t exactly groundbreaking.

So, you have now seen a little of what my life could be. If only this could have been done a few months beforehand, without the advent of school and work, life would have been so much more fufilling than it already is. As it is, I’m now pleading for ideas for T-shirt designs. If you think you have one that is sure to rake in the presses like flies to the grill (no idea why I said that), then the contact me link is at the top of the page. I might even consider giving you a slice of the pie.

I like pie
