Products and Projects

Thank you for all the wonderful ideas and input!  I've been dividing them all into products (which I can do now) and projects (which I can work on).  Love the idea to making a list (I make lists all the time) and then work my way through the goals.

Canvas bags - excellent, I can do these right away.  Images already finished would work great.  I could put a furry on one side and something cute on the other - thus appealing to both kinds of cons.

T-Shirts - hmmmm.  I knew someone who was licensing designs to a company.  That way, there would be no huge pile of shirts that stick around in my back room.  Someone suggested WOOT shirts to me.  I know Miss Monster gets some wonderful bizness just by watching people go by and say 'hey, I did your shirt'.

Illustrated stories - huh.  I always figured I was just forcing my gamers to read the darned things.  Can't help but draw my guys.  Is there a market for illustrated stories?  I can't help but think 'young' when you need pictures to go with the words.  Although - now that I think about it, I have seen some pretty graphic novels that are heavy into the words and have some pretty pretty pics....  huh.  Uh oh - now I can see it.

Graphic Novels - love some of these.  There's so much work in them.  And I would need the right story.

Art Books - Retrospective or Yearly catalog - Yes.  I suppose I should really pic a time of the year to declare the production of the yearly catalog.  A total retrospective, I think I need some better works - yet I should pic a year and make a goal.

Art Book - Themed - like a mermaid book, or a dragon book.  I think this is what I have been thinking about most.  A Suburban Sylvan Spotting style collection with dragon birds, firebirds and griffakeets.  I made a list of 18 sorts of things I could feature - so I'll get to work on this.

Sticker Book - I saw this web site, where they had a booklet of little stickers and I was in love.  I might want to do some more of these.  Got a web site for die-cut stickers too - since I love buying them myself.

Charms - Dave sold a buncha charms at the local comic con.  I need to get some more done.  This works out fine since they were the company with the stickers.

I'll make a list of 15 things.
OOooo... Tomorrow I will talk about the Motor City Comic Con that Dave did without me.
