A little about Pants Design + a RedBubble sale!

I don't think I've mentioned it on this blog yet, aside from having a sidebar link, but I have a  side craft/design gig called Pants Design.

At the moment, all Pants Design amounts to is a small RedBubble shop where I sell a few Avengers-related designs on T-shirts, mugs, tote bags, throw pillows, baby onesies, etc. I haven't updated the shop with any new designs recently (I spend more time designing for the FYA Store these days), but I have ideas. Now, to just make the time.

Long story short, you can get 20% off everything—including items from the Pants Design store—on RedBubble for the next couple of days (until 11:59 p.m. PST July 15) using the coupon code LUCKYME.

I don't know about you, but I think Mondays definitely call for a little retail therapy.

Disclaimer: If you do buy something from the Pants Design store, I will make a little money off of it.

May the 4th be with you!

Happy Star Wars Day! (You know. May the Fourth ...)

To celebrate, I've updated a set of e-cards I first designed in 2011, and then added to/updated in 2013. This year, I've updated them again, and added one new one.

The cards are a little bit Valentine and a lot cheesy pick-up line, with a splash of innuendo thrown in for fun. I hope you enjoy!

Please feel free to download any of them (or all of them) to share with your nerdy friends and loved ones! Just click on the card(s) you want to snag; it'll open in a new window. Right/control click to save it, then share as you please!

Swag! | New A Nerdy World MOO cards

I rarely need or use business/contact cards, but I always like to have them, just in case. Also, having them makes things so much more official and professional/makes me feel fancy.

When I started this new space, I knew I wanted to get a new set of cards to go along with. In the past, I've bought cards through UPrinting and Vistaprint, both of which I'd recommend if you're in the market for printed materials. (I used Vistaprint for our Curtismas cards this year.) But I didn't want to have to buy a ton of them, since, like I said, I don't use them often. I also wanted something a little fancier than your standard business card.

So, I turned to MOO. I've gotten MOO cards for a couple of other projects, and I really like them. They're not the cheapest option out there, but the quality of the product outweighs the increase in price, especially when you don't want to buy your cards in bulk.

I, of course, used the brilliant illustration Michelle of Creature Type created for me. Here's a look at the finished product (and a peek at my awesome planner, which I will be sharing more about in a future post):

And a clearer look at the front/what's on the back:

I'm really excited about having them, and I think they turned out pretty dang fab. Now ... to find a place/event at which I can actually hand them out!
