Well another show is in the can

Well, just finished another episode of freaky freds corner on blog talk radio. Next week we will go to an hours format and the week after that, on 9/11 we will be doing a simulcast on ustream.tv Thats bound to be interesting.

Kids say the most honest things


Last night, as Michael, the 9 yr. old, was doing his homework. His brother Jacob, who's 6, kept bugging him. Seems that his teacher hasn't started to give out homework assignments as yet being that school just started 2 days ago. Well as you can imagine, Michael was not amused. What he said though showed wisdom beyond his years and personally I think makes a damned good t shirt design. I don't know where he heard it or if it just came to him. But you can see the design at right. And it is exactly word by word all his, I just added the guy for added impact.

Our trip to Toledo


Well, yesterday took the oldest to school in Toledo. First time I had been there in years and it's still BORING!!!! Took the 3 youngest to see lake Eire while we we're up there and on the way back to Colummbus ran into a hell of a storm. I give her one winter before she transfers back here, she won't be able to hack the cold.

A lazy, peaceful sunday, yeah right


Well, the first radio show is in the can and they're other things that need attending to. On wednsday Mae will head for Toledo and her first year in collage. And as it stands, do not have any "reliable" transportation to get up there, let alone get back. Need to see about getting the other van on the road within the next couple of days. And have to deciede if I'll keep the ecrater site going until Sept. 1st like planned or switch over early. Since I made the annoucment on the site web traffic has dropped off a lot. First time for it to. Also have to work on a order for next month for more shirts,(assorted colors) as well as screen ink and emulsion as well as another pack of the high end transfers. Even on a sunday when you are the boss, your never home from work.

At left by the way is one of the new designs from last week,
wonder what this week will bring?

As a person gets older

I've been in the T-shirt business now for 11 years. And to tell the truth, it's about the only thing I ever stayed at. When I was young I bounced around doing this and that always getting bored after awhile and moving on to something else. But as I got older, I realized that I had to find one thing and stick to it. That one thing was the t-shirts and I've never looked back. That doesn't mean though that this is what I had forseen myself doing in life all those years ago when I was still young and foolish. In fact, making a living doing art work would have been the farthest thing from my mind simply due to the fact that there were always more artists in the family than what I would have said were normal. But fate is a cruel teacher, for she gives the test first and the leason afterwords, and I found that even after all the bouncing around I did the only time I was really happy is when I was creating. And I don't see that ever changing.

This is one that you will either love or hate.


While we were at the Ohio State Fair today this design hit. I hope people like it but I know that in the end you can't please everyone.

YuDu

Well, bought a YuDu screen printer yesterday and have yet to have a screen come out right. They say to "Lightly" spray the screen with water before you apply the emulsion, this is B.S.! I have tried 3 freakin times, it dosen't work. The only way you will get it to work is to have it truly wet. Maybe not dripping wet, but wet with a capitol "W".

Don't get me wrong, I am not by any means giving up on this. And will post the very first shirt I do here. But they really have to get the "How to" video that comes with it to be more in line with what it really takes to burn a screen.
