B, I just keep opening up those Photoshop & Illustrator files saying...

"Man, there's no turning back now..."
"There's nothing I'd really change."

I actually considered building a panel of 3-4 very different kinds of people and having them review the design concepts and beat them up or praise them...for whatever reason. They'd have to be unbiased folks of course.

Mychal Bell joint would be on point...all profits would have to be donated, I'd hate to make money off of someone else's hardships.

a panel is a good idea...

it's rare to find people who will be honest, and critique your work not wanting to be malicious, but helpful is rare. it also takes a thick skin, and a grasp of your vision.

B, you aint never lied.

I try to have thick skin when it comes to my art...it aint easy though...but I think I do ok. The design I posted on page 2 hasn't really been dogged out....but people said they ain't feelin' it, while others say it's cool. That's the way of the world though.

For my next batch, I'll have some folks beat up the designs and what not...I have 2 people so far that I can count on..and I'll probably add 3 more to that list...

Enjoyable reading fellas!

Keep up the good work and just to reinterate:

Remember to stay focused on your vision!
 
Dimez dont forget about the email I send you a few weeks ago(Mr. Beast /I can draw). Just joking. So Tsharp and dimez yall went to the same high school? Lavan if you need any constructive criticism I am here. You illustration on the fake buster is incredible(very detailed), I think people were concern that the subject matter had already been put out there. I understand because I did a fake sneaker tee myself but choose not to get it printed. I guess you cant expect someone who is a part of the sneakergame and a designer not to do a fake sneaker tee.

Tactus, thanks for the props...and the offer.

True about the fakes tee by a fellow sneaker-culture member.

NT has over 63,000 members...I'm sure I'm not the only one that sees bootlegging as a topic of discussion. Whether it be sneakers, handbags, jeans, CDs, or whatever...

Dimez...I gotta see some of your drawings before I can respect the fact that you draw....your flyers are tight, no doubt.
Except for the apostrophe in "Celebrate's"....lol. (that's for you DCshoechick!)

My skills with the pencil and paper are somehting to talk about...

No offense, Mr. Dimez. I'm just a few everyday apples short of a bushel.
The dudes in this forum carry more tampons than I do.

Another opinion that I'll always stick by it this...

No matter what...If you give people quality that they can love...and respect...they can only complain about the little things.

If you go and buy the most luxurious Mercedes, it has practically everything...all you can complain about is the small and petty.

Quality matters...the garment quality...the ink quality...and the overall packaging/presentation.

The package makes a big difference.

I could package the Fake Busters tee with a make'shift badge and toy handcuffs and that would boost the appeal. It's those kinds of things.

I laughed, but things I thought were silly have worked.

My question is: Would this make the piece a novelty? Would people take what you are trying to do seriously?

^^^I'm not saying I'd do that...I'm just saying that it's those types of things that get people looking...and expecting something crafty each time. It is a bit novelty'@#%$...but that was just an example. Honestly...with the way people are collecting toys these days...who knows.

I think balancing creativity with prosperity is one of the biggest issue in operating a business. I think if you have a real defined motto of what your company represents then you can be as creative as possible. Your creativity becomes the key factor of what you represent. From time to time you will have to create some pieces which may fall into a trend but so long you do not over do it. When a company start chasing money but dumb down on products and services thats when they lose they original identity. You are in business to make money but you never want to lose brand integrity. Large companies like Polo and Hilifigier signed all kind of licensing agreements(more money,less control) and then years later they had to restructre and gain control of they brand identity.
Nike is sucessful because they continue be creativity and still maintain they brand identity, they dictate to their suppliers what products will be availbe and at what pricepoints . Ican is right you have to reinvent yourself but within the confines of your original motto.
Sorry for the rambaling fellas.
