Woot shirts (metallic ink)

In a continuing effort to keep my hand in doing some side artwork, I've submitted another entry to Woot's shirt derby. This one would be printed with metallic gold ink, in the unlikely event it garners enough votes:

As always, do not vote for my design just because you know me; the artwork is its own reward :>

I need to set up a shop at one of the sites that will print my designs ...the ones, at least, that woot.com has no more legal claim to. Perhaps Etsy or RedBubble, unless you, Gentle Reader, have any other suggestions?

Fabric submitted to competition with about ninety seconds to spare...

I discovered, at about 2pm local, that my deadline for the fabric design contest was three hours away rather than ten. Fortunately, Spoonflower appears to not penalize for uploading revisions to an existing design -- therefore, I sent in a marginally-acceptable placeholder layout, then filed off more rough edges and replaced it with this one:

It won't be purchasable until the test swatch arrives and I approve it -- I have the impression that Spoonflower may make their bread and butter from the purchase of test swatches, even though they're inexpensive.

For those of you keeping score, a character roster may be found under the cut:

Ping: Trav (3-d printing)

I've recently tripped across a site at which I may set up a shop:

I've seen a couple of Green Lantern ring models available for sale, but I dunno if they are shipped already painted or not. I don't have a source to have green anodizing added later, but I expect it can be done somewhere.

Myself, I've got an idea about a gift for my mother (and also her aunt):

Old comics

This weekend, I'll be going through my twenty-year old box of comics. These are the ones my mom told me she'd thrown away once when I was naughty as a child. I still don't think they include anything valuable (in a monetary sense), and they certainly haven't been well-taken-care-of regardless. I was somewhat amused when I hopped online to check the going price for my Star Trek collected book (Volume 4) ...and the only one I found on eBay was selling for less than the cover price. Well, *I* shall read through them again anyway, and probably give away those issues I don't wish to hang on to. (Some Fantastic Four, Mad, Archie's Gang and Wendy the Witch, if memory serves. And some Star Wars issues that I know aren't collectors' items).
