Stickmen merchandise hits the... well I made a Tshirt.

 made a stickmen comics tshirt. But why? I have to say, I'm quite ashamed to mix this seemingly shameless promotional campaign with art and design. I am quite terrified to mix business with art because that's what I've been taught to do in my under-graduate course.

Is it truly a shameless promotion? Well, it is a bit, but not with the intent of selling anything of making money, it's more of a satirical artistic take on promotional campaigns. I really enjoy trying to bring live to my stickmen in my webcomics. Everything is promoted these days, so why not my campaign to acknowledge stickmen as real people? It's really on the line of taking comics to people on the street, like my spray paint. I guess creating any public art is a form of publicity, by definition at least. So my remorse goes away, and I just treat my t-shirt and its promotion as a playful way to promote not just my website and my webcomics, but just any webcomic, and taking them to viewers in a free way (I only have one t-shirt for now, and it's not for sale).

Here's 3 of my flyers:

I made a mistake in my first flyers which I corrected . The mistake was I forgot to put the neck of the stickmen inside the t-shirt, so that's been settled...
