update 2009-03-02 - new projects in the early stages and more

Hey all my wonderful readers :/ Just a quick post to update you on a new project I'm starting which is graphic T''s and hoodies based on my photographs and designed by me.
I'm planning to do a lot more photography as the weather improves (brrrrr) and incorporate these into custom designed, limited edition shirts. Not sure 100% yet how limited they will be -- maybe keep a design up for a few months or just sell a certain # of them. I've launched the beginnings of a store @ afk4life.spreadshirt.com featuring three designs.

The T's are all American Apparel so very high quality and there's also hoodies avail for all of them. It's a challenging project but I'm very excited about it. At left is a peek at the first series of designs just launched yesterday.

Other things I'm working on are the layout of this blog to make it cleaner. I was getting real sick of the standard squishy layout that blogger adds by default so I widened it more modern standards. I think that will also help with readability of the posts -- a lot less scrolling. And I made ImagesNGhosts (my photoblog) consistent also. I've also changed out the biography to make it a bit clearer.

I'm also going to be adding more poetry and (probably in conjunction with new graphics for the T's) more graphic/photographic projects. On the photoblog over the next few weeks I'll be linking the photos to my deviantArt page so if anyone wants to, they can get prints (biiiig ones are possible lol).

Also, I'll be adding a few more things. I'm planning on doing videos for my Youtube if my computer will cooperate (it hasn't before, but I got a faster disk back in December).

Hope everyone enjoys my new projects.. I'm trying to focus most of my energy on my art this year because it's something I feel is the most important thing to me, so if you feel like donating so I can do this, please just scroll on the sidebar @ right, there's a link there. There's also links to my other project pages.

Thanks again for your comments, support, and contributions!
