Checking In
Saturday, January 17th, 2009So here we are, a new one and I’ve decided to check back into the blog, shirts and more.
It’s not like I haven’t been busy. I’ve been consulting with Circle Boutique for the past 6 months and am on my way to being a partner at the store. Yes I decided a brick and mortar store should be the next move for me. Go figure. Working on store layout, painting, merchandising and display. Circle was the first place to buy my shirts. Now vendors are talking to me. It’s been a great and crazy experience so far and I’m sure it will only get better. Oddly enough my involvement with Circle has forced me to be even more creative, something I would not have expected from the start.
It’s inauguration weekend and things are supposed to get crazy. Millions of people, more traffic, bridge closures, super cold weather and motorcade after motorcade. So just in time for the Inauguration of Barack Obama I’ve created the Believer Shirt. It’s printed on American Apparel White cotton tees with a super graphic of our next president in red and blue.
So the challenging part is keeping up with all the tasks at hand while adding another responsibility to my plate. The advantage of entering into a partnership is having a business partner to help a brother out and kick me in the ass if need be. So Dinah and Wayne, I’m thanking you in advance. Blogging will definitely be one of those things that I’ll be sure to put to the fore. No more months of silence. Although I enjoy the silence, I’m not going to last very long, given the harsh economic situation among other things, should I keep quiet.
