Earlier this year I mentioned that by year's end I wanted to get an actual online store going with A* merchandise for people who might want some, and so--egged on by a few people who really do seem to want some :o--I present you with the beginnings of such a store--the T-shirt side, anyway:
A* T-shirts at smbhax.spreadshirt.com!I haven't incorporated that link into the site's main menu yet because I'd like to get feedback from you lovely readers on what you think of the current set-up and T-shirt designs available. You can see them all via the link above, but for the sake of posterity and a slightly larger view, I'll post them here:
They're on "heavyweight" T-shirts, in both men's (pictured above) and women's sizes, and--except for that lower right one--you can pick from multiple T-shirt colors. I haven't actually gotten my mitts on one of these shirts--another reason why the store is remaining unlinked for the time being!--but in a discussion among other webcomic authors about such online T-shirt stores, spreadshirt.com came up as one of the better ones available, so hopefully the shirts will be good quality. I guess I'll have to order myself one for Christmas and find out!
Anyway, back to the here and now, I'd love to hear what you think of these T-shirt designs: do you love 'em? Hate 'em? Feel nothing but total ambivalence toward them? Have other A* images in mind that you'd like to have available in T-shirt form? Let me know!
(Oh yeah, and you can make some kind of funny stuff with their online T-shirt design utility. Like, in one of my giddier moments, I made
these...but I delisted them when a modicum of sanity returned. I suppose you could still make your own though, since I've made the designs themselves available to spreadshirt.com's build-your-own T-shirt utility thingy. The horror! :p)
(And thanks to the author of the fine webcomic
Rusty and Co. for coming up with the idea of that spiffy oval border in the third shirt design!)
