Preparing for Comic-Con

Even though I won't have a new vinyl toy this year (that was never really the plan - I figured it might take some time for my bank account to recover), I will have some new "Happy Beaver" stuff to sell at the Red Window table!

The big new item this year is the "Happy Beaver" wristwatch! I've been meaning to make watches through this website for quite a while, but I'd always thought they'd be too expensive for re-sale. Fortunately, I was stubborn enough to contact them anyway, and I discovered that they have a lower re-sale rate! I made ten men's watches and ten of the women's, and I'll be selling them for $20 each - just enough to make a small profit. Grab yours on preview night!



I'm also printing up another T-shirt - a new variation on the original "Happy Beaver" drawing. This year, he'll be tidier, and printed on an orange shirt (see above) so that they'll match the toy (which will be available for sale again if you missed out last year).

On top of all that, "Happy Beaver" will soon begin distribution with DKE Toys, so expect to start seeing him in even more stores and on more retail websites!

That Was Quick Dept.

A T-shirt design available (ironically) at bustedtees.com. $14.99 + shipping pre-orders an in-joke that'll be dated by the time the shirt arrives!

New Zazzle Ordering Panel!

As you can see, I've added a Zazzle panel to the blog so I can hawk my swag even more aggressively than before! As time goes on, I'll gradually phase out the CafePress store and build up the Zazzle one - I haven't sold anything at CafePress in quite a while. I can't say as I blame my customers, as the CP stuff is pricey and the quality middling at best. I've been much happier with the Zazzle items!

To kick things off, I've published the "Well-Groomed Beaver" design as the first new T-shirt. Once I get the hang of things, you'll be seeing many more items with my artwork to buy! Let me know if there's something specific you'd like me to do for a product design.

T-Shirt OTD

'Nuff said! You can buy it for $17.99 (or $19.99 for the larger sizes) + shipping at thinkgeek.com.
