Christmas sales and new ALC shop

OK, for all of our contributing artists, it's the holiday season. That means some really (and we mean REALLY) offensive holiday shirts at the Art Life Collective shirt shop. I appologize for these ahead of time.

Also, the press is installed in its new location in Orlando and Blair is finished with the upgrades. While our custom designer t-shirts have always looked very good by any standards, the new software and ink-delivery system should step it up another notch. If anyone has any suggestions about other ways to improve what we are trying to do, let us know at info@artlifecollective.com

Just a head count, we are up to 127 t-shirt artists as I am writing this and are closing in on the 600 designs benchmark. We are always happy to have people joing the ALC project. The more the better -- for everyone. Part of the reason for creating Art Life Collective is to foster more diversity in the art community. Anyone browsing our t-shirt design gallery can see we have done just that. And for our artists, that means more people with different tasts will be attracted to the site and see their work.

Again, we hope everyone is happy with both the site and how their work is turning out in print. If you are experiencing any problems, let us know. Occassionally, we will have so many uploads at once that the server buffer will fill up, causing delays. We are working with our coder to fix that bug, but it's a minor one and has only happened a couple of times.

Also, Jules has been busy digging up art news and interesting artists and posting the links in the Art Life Collective forum, so check it out. The forum is open to everyone, not just ALC artists as a clearinghouse for right-brainers to share ideas, so check it out.

A reminder, this is the season when lots of people are out shopping for unique gifts. It's a good time to promote both your onsite and off-site work and maybe sell some of it. Best of luck.

Happy holidays
the ALC team
