Fan District map T-shirt Update

fdhubmap07_2b.JPG

To those who are wondering when the Fan District Hub's map T-shirt will be available, here is where it stands for the time being: The project had to be moved to the back burner in late-September, because I needed to shift gears to concentrate completely on producing art to sell, and on writing/selling pieces to publishers.

As you may know, I am a freelancer and I work alone without any backing. There's no trust fund or corporation behind any of this.

What's left to do on the T-shirt project is to sign up another 15 to 20 places. Not only do I need to take in that money, but to max out the T-shirt's appeal I need the most popular places to be part of it. But the sales process can be very time-consuming, because it's absolutely necessary for the decision-maker to actually see the sample T-shirt, and not simply hear about it.

In the late summer, I was trying so hard to wind it up during what unfortunately was vacation season that I neglected other things and got into trouble. Since then I've been catching up on obligations that can't be ignored -- like the rent.

However, the map T-shirt remains as good a concept as it ever was. And, once printed and distributed I have every confidence they will sell like hotcakes.

So, please accept my apology for this delay. I simply underestimated how long it would take. The older I get the more that seems to happen. Much more than you, I am anxious to see those T-shirts on all the right people, as they walk about the Fan District. So please have a little more patience, the T-shirt will be available ASAP.
