Cottontale Creations

Last semester in my business writing class, we had a group project where we had to come up with a business plan to present to class. The idea I came up with for my group was Cottontale Creations, an online t-shirt company that specializes in "Comic Tees"--t-shirts that tell stories. Basically, the plan was to set up this t-shirt company where we would release t-shirts in a series of three shirts or so, where each illustration on a shirt represents a "panel" within a comic, and all three shirts put together tell a complete story. The example we used for our presentation were these little doodles I made of Little Red Ridinghood:

I was actually pretty excited about our business plan at the time and thought that maybe I would actually go through with making it into a real business venture, but by the end of the semester I ran out of steam, aheheh. >_> Maybe one day!(?)

I'd totally buy those shirts if you do sell them in the future! :D

You might want to look into POD companies for this type of thing, even if just for a trial.

I've heard good things about www.mysoti.com. I haven't sold anything there yet, and there are some restrictions for artwork placement.

There are some places that will accept small runs for slikscreening too, but you should really do advance orders for that to cover production costs.

Lovely shirt designs. You did a great job at telling a story but allowing each to stand alone :)

Oh, I would SO buy them if they were available. Maybe a series of five for the weekdays? XD
