revamped website check it out pillowbrand.com

Been wanting to revamp the website for a while but really didn't know how until now...when i got my hackintosh i purchased iLife with iWeb in it.. iWeb is basically cut and paste but still has some bugs in it.. so it's easy to get a simple website up(which i've always wanted) but still hard to get some things published especially when you put a space in the file name of photos(had to redo a page because of it hehe).. 

on  another note.. bought myself a heat transfer press for the business..coming this week.. and now looking into getting heat transfer paper...start printing my own shirts.. so i can charge however much i want(cheaper than cafepress.. i hope i can make money on it) and do the shirt the way i want it.. not just front and back...but little add on sleeves and stuff...

Business is moving but not fast enough i guess hehe.. but its truly what i put it in.. am really not pressing the pedal to the max.. hopefully i can soon.. 

Thought of the day: Still looking for that elusive Job and wifey will be with me soon yay!

still updating the site.. it's pretty much done but still looking for a hosting site... everything costs money for some odd reason.. heheehe.. 

still waiting for some money for the heat press that i need.. going to cost about 300 bones.. but i think it'll be worth it at the end.. 

still looking for a job so i can finance this business.. so many things i want to do.. just need to start drawing again.. i have designs i need to start.. 

Thought of the day: I NEED A JOOOBBBB!! 

in honor of the NY Giants.. Filipino style..

So i'm still unemployed for almost a year and half now.. and still plugging away.  Still collecting so i can still pay for my bills but also still looking since i can't live like this.   It's still tough out there but am managing.  Been upgrading my computer.. went the MAC way.. only cost about 400+ to be able to run OSX Lion on this machine of PC parts.  My first ever build and it's a strong machine.  Upgraded because i want to take the next step in my business since i think i should printing the shirts and not paying cafepress to print out the shirts for me.  I could go into my problems with cafepress but that's on a previous blog.  I actually love what cafepress has done for me but i think i need to move on.  Take charge of my own stuff.  The only thing stopping me is truly money.. saving up for stuff i do need.  I was just going the normal iron route but i think i really do need the heat press to evenly press the image on the shirt so it shouldn't come off easily.  Still making excuses but am trying to avoid that now.  Revamped the page and hopefully i can get it up soon since i need to find a web hosting site.  Life's been hard and busy but i feel like am not accomplishing anything.  Hopefully i can see some progress soon.  My confidence is beginning to wane but hopefully something would change.  

Thought of the Day: why i am always listening to the opinions of others and don't take my own opinions seriously? am not that smart but i do have my own right to an opinion.

onward!

Just a design i did for my boy Jason Vita..a callobo we did together :D...I like working with talented people and you can check his site here. (shameless pluggin' hahaaha) 

Again i always like supporting artists that i think is mad kewl.. and this dude is MMMAAADDDD KEWWLLL...i have dealt with a lot of artists who think too highly of themselves cuz they successful ..or act like a douche(i've been guilty of that hahaha) cuz they think they are so hip... this dude is far from that.. so i thank him for keeping it real with me and reppin' my ish in the sunshine state.. thank you thank you.. a million times thank you...

Anytime you need something.. whether am busy or not.. just let me know.. i'll drop everything to get it done for you...Tinbox and Pillowbrand... Shoe design collabo? hahahahahahahahah

Thought of the day: i am fat and i need to get out of this house because they all keep saying am fat ahahahahaha.. i don't need to be reminded....

Merry Christmas..

a merry christmas to you all from Pillowbrand

Just wishing you all a very merry christmas and happy holidays.  Been working on a lot of exclusive stuff for the holidays.. some you guys have seen and one more design that's still under wraps until after christmas(requested by my client, homeboy and collabo teammate hehe) so maybe on Christmas day Cali time or the 26th i'll put it up.. hehehe..

A new year is upon us again.. and really thinking about taking a more artistic approach into designing(not so artistic though since i can never be that artistic ahahhaha) and really opening up a new store in the etsy market.. but first things first.. getting that elusive printer hehehe.. after the holidays that should be good ahahhahaha...just looking to start printing my own stuff and putting it on shirts.. cafepress has been great but i'm thinking of moving on from them and just actually having more control in how my shirts look...no worries you guys will be updated with that stuff..

I was looking forward to a New Year's day opening for the etsy store but too much stuff is going on with family and designing that i haven't had the time to set some stuff up properly .. but don't dismay .. i'm still looking into a mid january opening.. will keep you guys informed... 

like i always say.. No worries :D

Thought of the Day: Contradiction and stupidity really gets on my nerves.. and i've been seeing that alot as of late..but am holding my tongue cuz they family ahahhahaha.. otherwise it would've been game on like Mario brothers ahahhaha.. thought i'd say Donkey Kong? hahaha you know i don't follow conventional and conformity hahahaha...

New design

8 Step Mantis Style

A new design for the store... haven't done one in quite awhile since i was busy with holiday stuff and other important stuff.. but here it is.. a friend of mine who patiently waited for this(i do apologize for the wait :D) .. the mantis style of Kung-fu(or gung fu for those in the know) .. 8 step mantis style..

still have a lot of designing to do.. still finishing up some animation.. and still looking to move the store into etsy since i don't think am making that much money on cafepress.  At least i think i can sell my stuff on etsy for the price i want and make at least most of the money i sell it at and not just 10% of what cafepress sells.. will let you guys know when i move into etsy.. 

Thought of the day: I swear sometimes people i know make me shake my head in how they act..
