Ahhhh....school begins. Now it's time to get serious about...

About the t-shirts. They are being printed as I write this. Got to get the local business list to show the toddler/baby line & get the organic shirts made. And post in Etsy.
I am in the middle of getting my son's school supplies ready for tomorrow, while he is playing Lego with his friends. Instead, I am writing this and I am supposed to start cooking. My husband might have found a client to make them a logo & I might get some freelance illustrating to do. That would be wonderful.
Today has been great, not that other days haven't.

Slow Summer movement...

Yep, I have been quite slow w/Pingquik, but I have created more Pingquiks and have altered the logo, etc...Editing, editing, editing.
I am finally ready to go to the printer & work with him to see how the t-shirts come out.
This should be a step forward; a commitment to finally get this product done.
Now I have to get buyers.
Let me say that Pingquik was inspired by the Puerto Rican endangered, little parrot that flies around my Mom's apt. back home. They are very noisy, but cheery. One way to sell them in PR.
Also, I have finally created a catalogue of my Piccos line. I have to create another one for Fairmount Letters, but it does take time to prep.
LABELS!!
I have finally found good, rounded edge, business size labels for kids & their books.
More news to come soon...

T-shirts & new ideas

I have been waiting for the t-shirts to come in. We have settled on the women's brand & sizes. We have for all ages. Good idea to feel them first. Now we are going to print them with pingquik in different designs that assimilate that person's tastes. 
While driving I came up with a pretty good story to explain why pingquik and his positive attitude. It's a start.  My friends and kids will be wearing them around. We are almost getting ready to launch them!! 

The Trashmen : Surfin' Bird ( 1963 )

Let's talk GOOOOOOOOOOOl!!!!!

After meeting with several friends yesterday to get some input in my pingquik designs, I created my little guy to commemorate the World Cup 2010 series. I love it! I just want to post it on Etsy (for t-shirts) & see if I get any emails requesting it, but I have a feeling I must type all the shipping, payment, etc. policies too.
Like I said, I moved the desk facing the door & boy, are the creative juices flowing. I am finally writing all the projects in small papers (to be transferred to a large poster on my wall) so I can see all my future product lines. (You should see my husband's office wall, full of stickies & charts outlining his 2 major projects.)
I am reading the The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp & I HAVE to follow a habit/a routine to start my creative day.
GO USA!!!!! (We are also for Spain & Italy-hehehehe)

Feng-shui Desk

I finally moved my desk facing the door. It feels much better & I hope I can focus better on the business at hand: finalizing the T-shirt designs for a focus group. I have the samples! I have the transfers! J-U-S-T  N-E-E-D to Do It!
I also need a punch line for my Tweet&Flora illustration in my head. I have the 4 birds, but I need that punch line (4 girlfriends chatting).
Good news for Tweet&Flora. I placed 2 cards in the flower store & people did enjoy the cards. Found them hilarious. Thanks to Jim's sense of humor. He wrote the lines after I illustrated them.
Jim is pretty good at coming up w/wise cracking remarks. BYT, Jim is my hubby.
Let's see what I can accomplish this week. I must start planning the week & set little goals (which I forgot today).

pingquik in the works

I thought of something. I think it's a good idea. I want to work with kids, make something they want, but also something that helps them. Very important is to teach children self-confidence, perseverance and integrity. I am getting these ideas formulated & how to illustrate them in my pingquik. If I can make a product that instill good ideas, help others to make a living, make money and donate, that will be a good thing to do. N'est-ce pas?
