I just think that some great designers sometimes get left out of the mix. Also, some community members who have never submitted a design can be extra critical of someone that has the balls to put their work out there and should be rewarded for that alone.

After an interview I did with buy-tees.net, I decided that while I have been banking off of funny t-shirts for the past six years, that I would take one of my sites in a new direction and focus on more designs that I personally enjoy, instead of what is guaranteed to sell to the masses. This is what Popular Threadz has developed into.

For some time I had been following a designer on Threadless that received little fanfare. I decided that this illustrator, Brian Cook, had a talent that needed to be brought to the market. After getting in touch with Brian we were able to work out an arrangement to get a couple of his designs available on my site.

Well, shortly thereafter, Brian has won a Threadless submission. I’m very excited for him since he has finally been noticed. Of course, it was a much smaller company that first recognized the great designer he is.

Here is Brian’s winning submission at Threadless:

While most t-shirt coupons and discounts sites are willing to steer you toward just any t-shirt vendor with the most basic information, Shirts on Sale gives you the straight dope on the best t-shirt sales, coupons and discounts.

Their goal is to bring you only the best discounts from quality boutique graphic tee shirt printers.

Sure, some of the links on this site are affiliate links. Don’t worry, though. Their affiliate status doesn’t stop them from giving you their unbiased assessment on any product or vendor you’ll find here.

I think this is one the best of the t-shirt sales blogs out there and have even added them to Tee Feeds

The last several weeks have been spent doing a overhaul of Popular Threadz. I literally looked through more than 100 designs from different artists before choosing what would comprise the new line and there have been what seemed to be unlimited details to attend to. With most everything now taken care of, here are the new shirts which are ready to ship. Hope you like.

If you haven’t yet been to Buy-Tees.net you are missing out. Paul Baines is a UK t-shirt designer and along with his partner Christina Odell, have developed quite a cool online fashion magazine. It’s one of my favorite places to read about the t-shirt business and I can insure that you’ll find some truly interesting stuff there, so make sure to visit.

If anyone is interested, I recently had the pleasure to sit down with Paul who asked me some insightful questions about various aspects of the t-shirt business. The interview can be found here.
