What is going on! Hahaha. I wake up this morning and find out my Emo Friends are on some German webshow. Sadly I have to have someone translate it for me later, but this is amazing! I’m definitely planning a trip to Berlin now. Here is the translation:

Martin B Hey J… just in case nobody did yet translate that to you:
Hey guys, a lil blog in Germany was interested in talking to me about the whole emo friends ordeal (which is still an ordeal actually).

Licensing?! Perhaps. Well that’s all that been on my mind since the SEF’s went global but oh the energy I need to make that happen…and the capital. Aside from this, most of you should have recieved your prints by now. I spent many hours with my close friends packing those guys up and printing out labels and postage, yikes. Almost done, I still have to send out the complete sets to those who were able to order them. The mystery print is slowing me down, but I’ll get to it. I’m in the middle of a move plus its holiday party time so my productivity is in the red right now. that’s all i have for now, preparing a new line of products for 2010 and trying to seal some deals. gnite.

Ah, packing and shipping, this is a very advanced and tedious process. Who knew I would have all these orders happen in lest than 3 days? So I have a few different stacks of prints going out at a time, I simply cannot have them all done at once, and I am doing my best to get them out asap. Prints will be coming in tubes, and i think ive packaged them well. They are easy to pull out so you don’t have to risk tearing them out either. For those who ordered full sets, expect a flat delivery, rolling a whole set into a tube is rough. well, many of you are starting to ask when you’ll be getting your prints and all I can say is, I hope to ship everything by saturday, but there’s just so many orders!! Stay Tuned.

Hey Kids, work has been bringin me down so my shipping process has been slowed down, not to mention THANKSGIVING.
BUT! I am going to the post office now so I can begin pricing international folks’ shipping fees and settle those through PayPal.
You can all expect me to spend a better part of next week packaging and shipping, there are so many, I’ve had to get other people to help me! My goal: to beat Santa to the xmas tree. Thanks again everyone for making this such a HUGE success!
…..
WOW! I had no idea I hit such a chord with my culture! I posted my prints on saturday, sold about 5 and i was seriously worried whether or not I would be able to sell the rest of the stack I had just picked up from the printer. I sent one email to John over at http://superpunch.blogspot.com/ SUPERPUNCH and by monday morning, they went viral.
Please understand that I had low expectations for these prints and that’s why there was only 2-3 available at a time, not to mention some of my friends were still wanting to buy some. This is the first time I’ve sold prints and I was not expecting to have such a head spinning experience on monday. It was just crazy. Emails from all over the world wondering what was left. Well, I’m going to do my inventory now, because I was at work while all these sales were happening and I was afraid to lose count. Either way it was kinda cool because it gave everyone a chance to get a print or 2.
Thanks again everyone for the positive reviews, and again to by buddy JT Fagundes for cracking the joke, batman: “my parents are dead” this could not have been possible without such inspiration.
Please stay tuned as i find out what else is to come with this series, the others and the licensing that might be needed to really take this somewhere.

Bmarq and Rob picked up the promo card’s and cracked their smiles of joy for the camera. My design services include print and delivery, though some clients opt to pick then up due to time sensitivity.
By far the largest product I have ever produced, it was cool to see my design go from the screen to the beach. These were promotional banners used at a diving convention, and have probably been used in countless other venues since their birth. Just another crazy creation. Are you in need of a banner?
