getting back into the swing of things

[capri0mni]

So -- many years ago, I set up a Zazzle store, but I never had a truly focused vision for it, and let it languish...

And in the meantime, three things have happened:

1) I've seen how my hand drawn stuff reproduces on a shirt, and frankly, I don't really like the result. Colors that look good on paper tend to fade to almost nothing on fabric

2) Zazzle.com changed its business model and the way it promotes the "stores" of its registered users, and if I want people to actually see what I've made, I have to reorganize all my content.

3) I've got a new "revolutionary" attitude, and more drive to make ableism, specifically, better known.

Why am I mentioning this here?

Because I've decided (after I get my book into ebook format, and don't have any other projects hanging over me), to start fresh with a new store. Maybe not even at Zazzle (there are more choices now), and make the focus words/slogans instead of pictorial art.

And, when I put images on my designs, to make them simple shapes and monochrome -- using the "texture" of pixels to create grey scale. I figure this could be stylistic, reminiscent of images printed in newspapers.

I don't really like the wave shape in the spoon, above, but that's the kind of idea I'm imagining.

Today I crayoned first, because the thunderstorm happened earlier in the day, and then I did a couple sketch.io doodles. Pretty sure one is a wolf and the other some kind of owl. :^)

I made yesterday's crayoned horses into a design and then I added today's crayoned horses to that and made another design. I do like drawing on repurposed brown paper, its got texture. :^)

I hope your new plan works out!

The wave almost looks like the letter C, is that intentional?

No...

(Mostly, I was just experimenting with some shape, to see what a half-tone of a monochrome may look like)

Those are all lovely (and the owl is especially cute!)

Oh, this sounds great! I hope all will be good, dear.
I love your design!

Oh, that owl has a priceless expression!

Thank you!

(I hope so, too).

Didn't have much time so I did a mediaeval lady quickly:
