...And the Beat Goes On.

So far, we've had some promising results in our experiments with creating unique looks to some test shirts, but there have also been some unexpected setbacks that have caused delays in bringing any of those items to market. Such is life though. Anyway, the work does continue despite the trials and tribulations, and hopefully there will be some tangible results at some point. At least we can hope.

In other news, we hope to be expanding this blog to encompass some of our other interests as well in the not too distant future. Again, more announcements on this should be forthcoming shortly. Always something going on.

The Experiment Continues...

Ah, and what would that be, you may ask? Truth is, we aren't telling just yet. Yes, I know. I hate it when folks do that to me as well, so I'll give you a little bit of a hint. We are working on a proprietary dye/staining process for a new line of t-shirts. Right now, we have an idea of where we would like to end up, and how to get there, but whether it will work out or not is anyone's guess. Half of the fun in anything is trying new things, and we are certainly not afraid to do that.

So far, we have been working on the new process for a few days, but we won't really know if it's promising or not until the very end, which will be either today or tomorrow, depending on how long we can hold our curiosity at bay. I'm pushing for today.

And the Designs keep Coming.

For those that haven't checked the webstore recently, there have been a large amount of new designs that have found their way out of the art department and onto t-shirts. Or at least eight or so. Yes, many a new design for your viewing pleasure, or wearing pleasure as the case may be. It's all very exciting, especially since there are more on the way, just over the horizon, trying to claw their way onto a tee for the website. I'm looking forward to seeing how some of the yet to be seen designs end up looking.

Working, Working, Working

Well, it has been a day or two since I last posted, but things have been busy. Mainly working with the new designs. Out of the five or so that are really on the edge of being ready to go, I think we should see two finalized by the end of the weekend: One with robots and one with Jesus. Go figure. Should be followed shortly with the other three, and maybe a couple more dark horse designs that just sort of materialized out of nowhere but have captured our imaginations to an extent. Really looking forward to working on some of those.

Anyway, thought I would leave you today with one of our better selling t-shirts, perfect for men or women. Our "Arg, I Be Here For Ye Booty" tee is a black t-shirt with a screened red front print. I really like the way this one came out. Pictures don't really do it justice, but I'm posting one anyway. We were experimenting with some printing techniques and really got a nice, aged look/texture on the lettering. One of my personal favorites. If you find yourself interested in grabbing one of these beauties for yourself, you can get one from our webstore, torchedthreads.com, or from our ebay store, Torched Threads T-Shirts, whichever you prefer.

First One Out the Door

We sold our first "I Whacked Tony" shirt today. It's nice to see someone else appreciate a design that we worked so hard on. Hard work and a little bit of luck to get the perfect look. It's always exciting when the first order for a new design comes in. Can't wait to see the next design on an actual t-shirt. That's one of the best parts, seeing our designs on actual t-shirts for the first time. Hard to say whether the first prototype or the first sale is better from an excitement standpoint.
