im curious about running diy online stores, obviously, carrying handmade items - specifically tshirts. who do you purchase yr shirts from wholesale? how do you figure out what sizes to order so that you don't lose money on shirts you won't need?

Thought I'd share some of my collages. They are done on unstretched canvas and use a variety of things such as inks, watercolors, old dictionary pages, found images, rubber stamps, and oil pastels. I enjoy making collages that appear to have many layers.
Thanks for looking, feedback would be appreciated!

that nasty copyright thing that's being ignored

Just wanted to drop a few resources for those who are interested and ethical:

http://www.macworld.com/1996/10/create/2699.html
A fabulous article by MacWorld, mostly about digital issues, but relating some enlightening information about how Fair Use doesn't cover anything that's secondarily sold without licensing from the original artist. For instance:

If you want to use an artist's work–for example, to reproduce all or a significant part of it, distribute copies, or make "derivative works" based on or incorporating the original–you must get permission to do so. This sometimes entails paying a licensing fee. Any unauthorized use of the work is considered an infringement.

So without WRITTEN PERMISSION, it's an infringement. It's not "the magazines won't be happy" it's "I'm stealing and I don't care."

For more complicated info, see the governement's copyright site:

I bought the most random thing at goodwill today. It is a tea towel from the 80s but in mint condition printed with pictures of Fergie and Andrew and their wedding date on it. Even says printed in britian...a commenorative thing I guess. It was so incredibly odd I had to buy it.

Now I have no idea what to do with it. Any suggestions? Or is there someone out there that greatly covets and fergie and andrew dishtowel and wants me to send it to em?
