BE LIKE CHUPA

Got my samples from the online store today.  The cup looks great but the shirt failed.  I emailed them about the graphics being crooked and they are sending me another sample for free.  Not sure yet if I am going to commit to them for tshirts.  I have a sample coming from another vendor in about a week.  But you can now order cups from the The Field Lab Merchantile.  They are white only and come in 11 or 15 ounce size.  The one in the photo is 15 oz.

Partnering Ben's horn cam video with storyful.com seems to be paying off a little today.  Ben is going slighly viral in Japan.  74,83,42,0,B

merch monday...

Been meaning to get some new TFL merch available for awhile now.  What has really been putting me off is the hassle of keeping track of orders and packaging and shipping them out.  Decided to explore the online options of print and ship on demand.  Going this route cuts into my profit margin a bit but I don't expect to get rich off merch anyway (but I do need to pay for my "affordable" healthcare).  Trying out galloree for a test run - they are located in my old hometown of Charlotte, NC.  Had an image of Chupa rendered as line art from fiverr and got the finished product emailed back to me overnight for only ten bucks.  Did the rest of the graphics myself and uploaded the artwork and ordered a coffee mug and Tshirt from them to see how they look.  If all goes well, people can just order directly once I set up my store there and Galloree handle it all.  Working on a Ben design as well.  I won't entirely be cutting my friend Rick from Bullshirtz out of the loop as I expect to do more screen printing through him for local sales.  63,71,39,0,B
