the doodles to be made into t-shirts are "party of one" and "therapy". we went through a painstaking process of looking at t-shirt quality, sizes and cut or measurements. after much consultation with the god of apparel and of course with the ample sacrifice of virgin tees, we decided to have our t-shirts custom cut and made. this is to specially cater for just the right girls t-shirt cut. no, not because girls are generally fussy (cough). it's cos we found out girls prefer the baby-tee flattering-cut-meets-casual-relax look. the silk screens have already been fabricated and we should be seeing our first set of t-shirts by the end of the week. exciting times these.

things are moving along nicely. the doodling on post-it idea caught on well. apparently there are a lot of boring meetings out there and this would probably now correlate to the high usage of post-it pads. anyway, i myself have gone post-it crazy. have now "upgraded" to the bigger pads with lines. simply love the strong colours. yes, shamelessly plugging for 3M. endorsement anyone?



giant, huggable, super sticky, blue post-it...mmm...

been a while. and for a very good reason. been busy with more doodling - of sorts. started when trusty ol' friend was talking abt my drawings one of them evenings between watching soccer and fragging each other on xbox's ghost recon...

him: you draw right?

me: uhm. ya. nice of you to notice. after all, you've only known me for over two decades.

him: and you draw everywhere and everytime. heck even your walls are defaced.

me: so you're saying i'm like a 3 yr-old with crayons? my doodles are more kindergarten school standard alright.

him: no, i'm saying wouldn't it be cool to have your art more mobile?

me: sure, but it would be kinda difficult to lug around pieces of my home.

him: on tshirts la.

me: wow, einstein. that's fresh. lets see. isn't that like done by only every other person on the planet? heck, every other person i talk to these days know of at least two other people and a pet terrapin who are designing their own t shirts.

him: most of the tshirts out there centres around cool, complex and visually appealing graphics unlike yours.

me: ladies and gentlemen, best sales pitch right there.

him: doodles are more accessible, everyone does it so everyone can relate. plus the designs are more humour-centric. there's your competitive edge right there. if anything, wouldn't it be cool to see people wear your creation?

me: go on, my ego's listening.

him: so all i'm saying lets make your doodles more accessible. after all, you're already doodling in meetings and such. so its no skin off your back. you just keep that pencil sharpened and i will take care of everything else.

me: so you're asking me to sell-out? you do know my soul's already in a jar somewhere in the devil's pantry rt?

him: who do you think came up with this hair-brain idea in the first place?

and with that, a little itsy bitsy piece of history was made. armed with all the technical finesse of wild baboon with a laptop, i dove into the world of designing for tshirt and website development. here it is, otherwise known as a result akin to me conducting brain surgery with a plumbing wrench: www.wantondoodles.com
