Ok since my last blog post about the dolphin hat I made was such a hit, I have come back with something truly CHAD-MAZING! I actually had the artwork done the same night I posted the blog (2 nights ago I believe..) and was going to post this blog yesterday.. Well then I realized I'm an idiot.



For anyone who doesn't know, t-shirt transfer paper is expensive and stupid. I made the bad decision of "Oh paper for white t-shirts looks exactly the same as the dark t-shirt paper, and it's cheaper let's do that!" Yeah.. bad move.. I totally wasted a shirt and paper due to that, as the paper lies and is not really white, it's clear, so nothing showed up. Yay for not putting that key info on the package.

But about the shirt itself, I actually took a picture I found of Chad doing the Chad face and hand drew it, then went back and drew it again in Photoshop with my tablet over the original image I drew. I only used black & white so it looked like an outline, and it would stand out better. It took around 5 hours or so to finish up in Photoshop, after I had the outline drawn. The outline probably only took me half an hour or so.

But now, I am totally Chad-mazing. And the dolphin hat I'm wearing is the one that will be mailed off to Chad tomorrow. =D So yes Chad, you'll cream yourself when you open your mail in a few days. =P I will feel like a true winner once there are pictures of Chad in a dolphin hat. =P



Also, in new artwork news on my front, I will hopefully be making a blog post with an announcement about my Etsy store within the next few days. I've gotten everything all set up, and I just have to get a couple of things put together to put up for sale. Just so you can get ready, most hats unless it's something really difficult, will be $25 with shipping. So hopefully you all will enjoy it when I get it all running, and I'll be sure to announce it.

I really do want to give a thank you to all of you who constantly post on my blog. I really do appreciate the love I get from all of you. It just makes me keep on going stronger with my work. You all mean the world to me.

Thanks again everyone, enjoy!
