Oops, I think I’m supposed to write more about my personal life. Long walks on the beach…my favorite hot rods…what I think of Tom Cruise today…you know, stuff like that.
Here’s what I did yesterday:
Went to the T-shirt Making Store: I’m working on trying to figure out how to make t-shirts so I can sell them on Tofugu. I might make a couple of BoxedTofu ones as well. I’m a big fan of the Tofu Mime that’s everywhere on this website. Very simple and only one color, which means it’ll be a cheap tshirt to make. Man, you have no idea how expensive these things are. They tend to get you on the set-up fees. For two colors and only one design in one spot, it costs almost $100 to set up. Luckily after that, it’s very affordable. One of the tshirts I wanted to do would have cost $350 to set up. I’m going to have to reconsider that one. Here are three of the potential designs, with more on the way. I’ll probably do a poll on Tofugu to see which ones might be the most popular, and act from there. Still, I’ve got more revising and designing to do. Here’s what I’ve got so far:

I also get to play around with the idea of having different colored t-shirts besides white/black for the same cost. I need to go back to the store and see what colors they have.
Tell me, how much would you pay for a tshirt? Would you pay $20? (more…)
