I am still here

Just in case anyone was wondering, I am still here. I'm sorry to say however that i've been majorly slacking off lately. What can I say, i'm bad at motivating myself, but i'm working on it.

Anyway, I started a new t-shirt design today. It shouldn't take too long to get it done so hopefully i'll have it ready by the weekend.

End of year round up

I probably should have gotten this done sooner but oh well.

I did a round up of my sales figures last year, taking note of things like the most popular product, most profitable month, etc. I did it again this year, so I figured i'd post the info here.

FYI, I didn't spend a particularly long time doing these numbers so they're estimates rather than exact figures. I might get around to correcting them so they're more precise sometime in the future, but for now bear in mind that they're ball park figures.

Best selling product overall: Sonic t-shirt (same as last year)
Best selling t-shirt: Sonic t-shirt, 70 sold (roughly 59 more than last years best selling t-shirt)
Best selling sticker: Sonic sticker, 25 sold (roughly 21 more than last years best selling sticker)
Best selling Iphone case: Daft Punk, 3 sold (no Iphone cases last year)
Best selling kid's clothes: Sonic, 5 sold (no kid's clothes last year)
Total number of products sold: 334 (roughly 277 more than last year)
Number of designs introduced: 27
Most profitable month: August, £136.91 (£92.89 more than last years most profitable month, November)
Least profitable month: March, £12.24 (£7.95 more than last years least profitable month, August)
Highest monthly sales: December, 82 products sold
Profit: £702.04 (roughly £521.13 more than last year)

So there you go, not bad. I'm pretty pleased with the 27 new products introduced, I didn't realise it was that many. With any luck i'll get closer to 50 this year.

In case anyone was wondering...

...i'm taking a brief hiatus from designing over the holidays. I'm going to post a quick summary of how i've done this year in a few days time, but other than that I won't be working on anything until the new year. I've got ideas, i'm just gonna give myself some downtime while I can.

Good news everyone



I checked my email last night just before I went to bed to see if I'd made any more sales, and to my surprise I found that someone had bought 10 Sonic t-shirts in a single transaction. That's the most i've ever sold in one fell swoop, which is pretty nice. So far i've sold a total of 127 Sonic products, but that's split between stickers, kids clothes and t-shirts. I think i've sold around about 93 Sonic tees so far, whilst the design itself has been viewed over 8,500 times. I can't believe how popular it's been, it's sold almost twice as many as my second most popular design (my Daft Punk design).

So I say thank you to the random Australian who bought all those t-shirts last night, it was a nice early christmas present for me.

New work is up

There they are, all done and dusted. They could possibly be a little neater, but i'm pretty happy with them as they are.

Here's the links to the individual designs on my Redbubble profile:

About that set of new designs...

...they're on their way. I've got 3 out of the 4 done, although I just need to neaten and fine tune the third before moving onto the final one. I've been crazy busy with work lately, so I haven't had a whole lot of free time to get this stuff done unfortunately, and when I have been free i've either been exhausted or busy with other business, so the tees have taken a bit of a back seat unfortunately. But I have tomorrow off, so with any luck i'll get the fourth and final tee done and dusted and then I can upload the entire set at once.

New set of designs coming

I started work on a set of 4 new shirt designs last night, pretty much on a whim. I won't give it away until it's all finished, but luckily the designs themselves don't take much time to complete, so hopefully I should have them all uploaded by the end of the week. All i'll say for now is that it involves heavy use of image typography; I haven't done an image typo design for some time now, so I felt like it was overdue.

Have a little teaser image from the first one that's almost finished:
