Whuddup Homies!

The best time to come on here is when I’ve clearly had too much drink. Some sound advice from the CEO of the Super Sweet Shirt Co. This is a tricky time for online sellers. Covid gave a lot of people a false sense of success during a period where nobody was allowed to leave their homes. Everyone had to shop online. Fly by night whack MC’s opened up stores and started selling – some successful, some not.

The constant with us is that we’ve been here since 2007. We’ve been here before print on demand shops and other bullshit. In 2007 I was set up in my kitchen printing shirts with horrific phrases on them – fresh off a 10 hour shift dropping fries, in a greasy, 105 degree, kitchen.

I never forget that. That is what drives me. That is the main muscle that powers my middle finger. I have little tolerance.

I mention this because, this is a weird time. Tik Tok, gig workers, a shitty economy – it truly feels like it’s survival of the fittest in some aspects. I’ve got seniority. Over 16,000 sales on Etsy, 14,000 on eBay, a strong Amazon presence, and our own website – this is how we weed out the weak.

Anyways, let’s get down to brass tax. What did we put out out this week (checking my phone)? I might be missing something, but lets take a look. First up: This Robocop onesie. I need to focus a little harder on my onesie catalog. I decided to jump start with this Robocop Japanese style design. I am on a Japanese kick lately, casually trying to learn it as a second language. I credit #TokyoVice,

The second thing I put out this week is a new Robocop pint glass. I honestly have no idea how beer pint glasses will sell. I mean – I love them? I guess we will see!

Last but not least…..Willie Mays Hayes! For YEARS I’ve wanted to make a “Major League” shirt. This shirt came out awesome. I wanted to have it resemble one of those 90s style shirt designs. I think I got there with it!

Follow us on Tik Tok! We do giveaway’s every Saturday for any followers that comment on posts during the week. It’s a fun time over there, hopefully it doesn’t get banned by 90 year old fossils in Washington. Remember in November who voted for this. Your voice, no matter what side you fall on, is important. That’s the one thing we all have in common.

Peace out, wear sick shirts, and never grow up.

The Greatest Holiday Mug This Season

I forgot I had this blog…..i’ll be honest. There are so many outlets these days online to spread the word, and I basically hate most of them. Something about the blog is still somewhat therapeutic, it allows me to do more than just post pictures of product, or videos of what inspired me to create them. I can yak it up a bit – shoot the shit.

Sometimes in the chaos of life (especially is you’re a parent), it gets hard to find time to get new designs out. I’m a one man operation, so when you get an order from me, or you see the packaging, or the ad or post you saw the product on – that shit’s all me son! Ok maybe around the holidays I get some help from my kid, but it’s mostly me. With 5 online stores to manage, it gets chaotic.

One night my wife and I were changing it up a bit from the usual “sit down and watch tv” routine. We cracked open some wine, put on some tunes, and we each worked on something at the dining room table while chatting. The music selection for the night was 80s/90s duets.

As the wine went down and the tunes kept flowing, somehow we started talking about Van Damme dancing in Kickboxer.

How did I not have something to pay tribute to this iconic action movie scene? It was time to get to work (before I made the unfortunate decision to open another bottle.)

The inspiration for the design was Urban Outfitters. I’m clearly too old to shop there, but as an apparel creator I was heavily influenced by early Urban Outfitters and Dov Charney who created American Apparel (yeah I know he’s a sex pervert, he’s still an apparel genius.)

In the end, I couldn’t have been more thrilled. This shirt/mug collection is awesome, the shirt is insanely soft and the mug will be a favorite for whoever it’s purchased for.

Stay Strong. Treat Yourself. Treat Someone Else, Support Small Business

This stay at home thing is really getting old. Every day is the same, the concept of time no longer exists, and we’ve never watched so much television. One thing is for certain though – every day starts with a hot cup of coffee.

I had a woman contact me last week to make her a men’s shirt design on a women’s tee. In her conversation to me, she expressed genuine excitement for the shirt, but felt an underlying guilt purchasing an item like this while millions are suffering. I totally understood her and often felt similar while buying “non-essentials.”

Being stuck in your house for this long has extreme negative effects, one of them being mental health. People deal with it in different ways depending on severity. The truth is, if you can afford to and you are fortunate enough to be able to, purchasing something for yourself is a good thing. Or you may consider buying for someone else who might be having a tough time, especially if you buy through a small business.

While corporate giants like Amazon have stopped delivering non-essential items quickly, small businesses are eager and motivated to get their products out to you as soon as possible. You are able to help yourself or someone else with a fun, thoughtful gift, while helping struggling small businesses stay alive.

I write this not so that you order from us. We are fortunate enough to be doing OK during this pandemic. I write this so that you order from any small business – both local and online.

A Gigantic “Thank You”!

This has been an awesome year for The Super Sweet Shirt Co.  I wanted to thank everyone who supported this little underground t-shirt store this year, especially during the holidays.

After I take a little break in January, I will be back with more designs and products to make 2019 even better.

Happy Holidays to all, and to all, a sweet shirt!

The Super Sweet Shirt Co. on HBO’s “Insecure”.

Occasionally this little underground shirt company hits it big in terms of exposure.  It started off with Mario Lopez holding our AC Slater onesie up on a Tampa morning news show.  That one was awesome as I was a pretty big fan of “Saved By the Bell.” Then our “Are You Afraid of the Dark” tee was featured in a Buzz Feed article for 90’s Nickelodeon “must have” items.  This one was so huge that I had to shut down for a day.  This week we were featured in the Season Finale of “Insecure” on HBO, which is a great show if you have never watched it.  The had requested an overnight delivery of our Bruce Leroy Tee.  I had low expectations of it ever showing up on TV, but to my surprise, it made it!  I had noticed an increase in orders, and sure enough it had made it.

 

 

The shirt is currently available at our main site, Etsy Shop, eBay store, and now on Amazon.
