Where Have I been!?

   Ohhhhhh what a couple of months this has been.  First off, I haven’t posted in so long, I probably lost the regulars.  There has been good reason.  Well not “good”, it was actually horrible.  Over a month ago, I was working on the third floor of our place, and we were broken into/robbed.  This happened in broad daylight.  This basically through our whole world into an upheaval.  Not that I was afraid….I mean after all, I’m bad ass, but basically it was the second time its happened to us.  So in  a nutshell, I had to move the super sweet shirt company into a temporary location, breaking my normal routine, but working hard to make sure all orders were completed and on time.  Things are winding down now and should be getting back to normal over the next few weeks, blog posts should be more regular, and new designs should start trickling from the depths of my brain.

I should have been more prepared….

Super Sweet Bill Murray Shirt

  Truly one of the greatest actors of all time is Bill Murray.  I wanted to do a Bill Murray shirt for some time, especially because t-shirt makers online all share the same lame image of him.  Go on Etsy, or Google search “Bill Murray” shirts, and you get the same stuff.  It kind of amazes me that any of these shirt companies make any money of sharing the same design.  I wanted to get creative and set my design apart from all the others.  I decided to do a shirt paying tribute to Bill Murray in “The Life Aquatic”.

  I didn’t just want to do this image on a shirt, I wanted to take it further and include his ship “The Belafonte”.

This is now available in our Etsy and Ebay Stores as well as our main website.

New Woody Guthrie Shirt

    Finally a new design!  Its been tough getting the time to be able to pump out a new design.  I’ve been on a small kick designing shirts that pay tribute to obscure musicians.  This time around, I wanted to design a Woody Guthrie Shirt.  I love the way this shirt came out and it would be an awesome gift for a fan of the genre.  This is printed on a creme American Apparel cotton shirt and is fantastic quality.

Check it out here at supersweetshirts.com , our Etsy Store , or our eBay Store .

Back!

   I haven’t been posting on here lately, I simply haven’t had any time!  My mother mocked me a few days ago (as she commonly does), laughing at how I am constantly stressed out and overwhelmed at what I take on at once.  Basically right now, the Super Sweet Shirt Company is busier than we have ever been.  At the same time my wife and I are completely gutting and remodeling a room in our house for the new baby.  So what can I add to all of that?  How about redesigning our website from scratch!  Not the brightest move, but after long nights and exhausting weeks, it is finished.  The entire catalog hasn’t been added yet, but it soon will be.  That part is taking longer than normal because I need to re-shoot pictures for all products.  The site itself though is awesome and I love the way that it turned out!  Here are some new features on the new supersweetshirts.com :

-Brand new “Contact Us” feature lets you easily ask me questions on-site without having to send emails or hassle.  I usually respond in minutes unless I am asleep.
-New Sale section that will eventually replace the clearance sections we had in our Etsy and eBay stores.  supersweetshirts.com will be the only place to get our clearance items.
-Blog is fed into the site.  Now you can check out the shirts, sales, and blog on one site.
-Super easy method for updating the site with the newest shirt updates.  No more long delays for shirts being added to the site.
So now all we are waiting for is to have ALL of the products on the site.  Soon!!!

2 Days Left!

   Our Holiday sale is ending in 2 days so don’t miss out!  The response has been ridiculous, like the kind of rush we get going in to Christmas.  The sale will stop June 1st and will be the last chance for a while to score ridiculous deals from our Etsy and eBay stores.

New Doctor Who onesie!

   I am super excited to bring you this new onesie as I am a huge fan of Doctor Who.  This onesie fits in well with out super nerdy onesie series.  In our shops we offer the “Little Captain” onesie featuring Captain Picard, our “Little #1” onesie featuring Will Riker, and now this sweet 2 colored Doctor Who tribute, “Little Time Lord”.

This gift will steal the show for any Dr. Who fan having a kid.  This is now available in our ebay and etsy stores and will be up on our main website soon.

New Torchwood Shirt!

    I started watching Doctor Who a few months back, and I am not totally wrapped up in it.  Its way worse than Star Trek TNG was for me, this is by far my favorite series of all time.  One character I like in particular, is Captain Jack Harkness who has become the subject of my first Doctor Who related T-shirt!

   Both of these pictures are of the American Apparel versions of the shirt.  The men’s is offered in Military Green while the Women’s version is offered in Creme.  This shirt will be a great unique gift for any fan of the Doctor Who series!  These shirts are currently available in our Etsy and eBay stores and will be on the website soon.

Bear with me! The business plan for the rest of the year!

   Things have been ridiculously hectic as of late.  My wife is pregnant, we are headed to San Diego in one week, I’m pounding out all your orders, and I’m transforming out entire stock,  That’s right, things are changing big time.  My goal with the Super Sweet Shirt Co. was to have a company that I ran with pride.  I have put out amazing shirts out for 5 years, selling thousands of shirts on my eBay, Etsy, and home site, every year improving more and more.  We have 100% feedback in all of our stores, which doesn’t mean we haven’t made mistakes, but have had the kind of customer service that made people glad we made a mistake.  I’ve reached a point were I need more.  Not more business, but more personal gratification.  That is why we are slowly replacing our inventory with American Apparel.  The entire process was a total pain in the ass, but totally worth it.   This was a big decision.  The reason being is that there would be a price increase.  American Apparel is top notch American made clothing made in L.A. California.  For years we have been using standard 100% cotton shirts made by Gildan or Fruit of the Loom , which are common brands used by a majority of screen printers.  American Apparel is flat out better.  Our shirts will flat out be better than our competition.  If your are unfamiliar with American Apparel, please visit the site below:

These shirts are made with the best quality cotton, the best stitching, and a way better fit than your standard shirts.

For the next few months we will be replacing our inventory with these shirts.  I have decided to continue offering a “Standard Shirt”  option in all of our designs for the rest of the year in case there are people who don’t want to pay for a better quality shirt.   Our Toddler Shirts and our womens shirts will not have the “standard option” and are changing over to 100% American Apparel.  The men’s shirts will have the option to purchase a cheaper “standard” version.  After a year, we will take a look at what we sold, and decide if we need to continue offering the “standard shirt”.
So far the feedback has been awesome, especially from the women.  I’m hoping that eventually we won’t need to offer anything but American Apparel Shirts.

The Mario Lopez Moment

   A few posts back, I posted the picture that was sent to me by the folks over at “Daytime” in Tampa.  In case you missed it, they contacted me to send them our “Slater Onesie“, because they wanted to give him a little gift for the baby that he and his wife are expecting. To sum it up quick, I figured it was a scam, but went with it anyways.  Boy was I wrong.  They sent me a picture of him holding the onesie, and this week the video has been posted.  I took the video and cut it down because he was on there for 15 minutes.

I gotta say, it’s a surreal experience to watch A.C. Slater receive a gift from me, not only just to receive it, but to visibly see that he loved it!  My favorite part of this video is watching him show someone off camera in excitement while the show is wrapping up.

Super Busy!

    Sometimes it can be tough trying to figure out things to write about in this blog.  I could easily just post shirt related things every day, but that would get boring.  I like to mix it up.  Today I’ll throw this into the mix:

Yup! My wife and I are having a baby!  The room we have been working on is actually going to be the nursery.  The last update I had on that room was drywall work and the removal of the ancient wallpaper.  I’ll have some pictures of the progress in there this week, along with some updates on some of the things we want to do in there.  Now that this news has been announced, it will be a little easier to communicate plans and ideas.  This blog has been a little slow lately, that’s about to change!
