Wednesday, November 12th, 2008We got 5 new shirts up over at Popular Threadz. I just noticed I must have had the news on too much during the election as many have a political slant.

While I might not be a Threadless “yes man” like many bloggers out there, I do admire the business model. 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:

Here are his designs available at Popular Threadz:
I know the recent posts here have been a little sparse but there has been good reason. 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.
It’s not being advertised on the site yet but Popular Threadz is having their Annual Independence BlowOut Sale. Through July 4th you can get free shipping on your order if you use coupon code july4 at checkout.
