I am so buying this. The only thing I dislike is that on the guy's shirt it looks like the heart is broken because of the black. On the girls, you can see its a bit different.

At least all the websites listed as inspiration are actually linked to now, and I don't have to copy/paste them into my address bar. Only took a month to get that right. ;)

No doubt. Is this the "first 500" freebie shirt or is that one to be of a different style?

James, I believe the heart is supposed to be broken on the men's shirt. At least that's what it shows on the design to the right.

Congrats on a great first 30 days Tee Fury!!

I agree that its suppose to be broken, just looks nicer imo on the womens.

Hello everyone - thanks for the kind words - a few clarificaiton points

1. This design is NOT the design the first 500 orders are getting - the first 500 orders are getting the bird logo only center chest.

2. Yes the mens tee shows a broken grey dead heart and the womens tee shows whole heart full of love and yearning.

So possibly the image to the right can be interpreted as if the female left the nest and left the sad grey male heartbroken and took his heart and trampled it under her feet - however she still feels love for him, but is not IN love with him. I am going to cry now.

Or the female is there to comfort the heartbroken male. You know how we fems are suckers for sob stories. heh.

True that, 2thFairy. I've shed a tear for you, Layne, as you've obviously been hurt recently.

Congrats on 30 wonderful days. We at Shirts on Sale can't wait to see what the next 30 will bring (and the next 30...and the next 30...and the -- you get the idea).

And we know the tweetey with the red heart is a female...how?

And we know the tweetey with the red heart is a female...how?

Because all tweeteys with red hearts are female. Plus lets face it, typically the female is the guilty party in these transactions (bracing myself for backlash).

And for the rest of you - may you fill up your world right up:

Hey Layne,
Congratulations on your first 30 days. Your enthusiasm for your work here rings true and that's a wonderful thing to see.
Now for the hard stuff: you KNOW you've got to satiate your international clients. Has there been any progress? Even an update for us would help.
Keep up the great work!
BTW, I love your design. Would be in like flint were it not for the 49th parallel.

I hear you - I have to say you are glad we did not open with international shipping - FedEx really did a number on our shipping integration, and as some very kind and patient people here will tell you our first 3 weeks of shipping were a real challenge due to two huge bugs in the FedEx Shipping Software (dropped the first digit in an order number and transposed billing street address over shipping street address).

So you asked for an update and here is where we are right now are FedEx International Mail (FIMS) which we can do for around $5 but it takes FOREVER or USPS International - which is REALLY expensive - around $20-$25.

Because this site works on a one Tee per day we are trying to figure out how to best ship out international orders and save the intl. folks a little money - Lets say you buy 5 shirts in a row - one a day Monday thru Friday - it would be really cool if we could just bundle those together and ship them out in one package as opposed to charging shipping for 5 seperate transactions. So this is exactly where we are right now - if everyone says go forward anyway with daily international shipping then we can move forward and have that in place by the end of next week - so let us know what you prefer and we will do it!

I say go through with the daily international shipping for now. You can always figure out a bundling system later on!

At least you didn't buy this in a Heartbreak - because then I would be sad for you ;(

Huge appreciation for the reply and I hope I didn't rain on your celebratory parade. Please see it more as a compliment that your product is hot enough that so many of us want to get our anxious little foreign hands on them.
First of all I'm fine with doing the daily FIMS if it means getting things underway. Woot tends to take around 2-3 weeks at most. At the same time I sense a real resistance to FIMS and if, in the long-run, there's a better way, it might be worth the wait.
layne
said 9 hours ago
From all of our research - FIMS is the cheapest way to get a package overseas - literally around $5 and we can ship to anywhere - most major cities in the UK, France, most of Europe, many spots in Latin America should get their orders withing 2-3 weeks - however FIMS can take 5 weeks - which is a heck of a long time to wait - but really unless someone can point out something we are not seeing, then we most likely have to go with FIMS and USPS for the faster shipping option.
eHalcyon
said 9 hours ago
Layne, I'll echo curb's sentiments. If using daily FIMS would hurt long term solutions, it's probably better to wait. I realize you just want what's best. If it's possible to use daily FIMS now without tying up a future shipping system, then go for it. Otherwise... I can be patient. I think.

Not sure where curb lives, but woot's shipping takes 3-4 weeks for me (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada).

Very cool.
Can't afford any more for myself.
All my money is going to charity to buy a 13yo boy some things to make life easier. He's the son of a great artist in our artistic community. He has been diagnosed with a rare type of cancer known as t-cell lymphoma.
We've been asked to cheer him up as he's more than likely going to be going thru 2 years of chemo. He needs support. I'm hunting all the tshirt sites I can to find him some shirts. TeeFury makes it easy as they are very inexpensive for BEAUTIFUL and crazy cool shirts.
I know of shirt.woot, threadless, here, unetee, designbyhumans.
If you know of anymore places that have some nice custom artistic shirts, please message me and let me know.
If you want to help, I can send you the info to be able to send him
some goodies. He also likes tic taks, jelly beans and 360 games.
His Dad's site is http://www.chrisvennekamp.com

Thank you

congrats on the first month, it would have been nice to pick this one up. I suspect that you're loosing a lot of sale without international shipping. You better do something good for us internationals when you do get it up and running!! or else.. .. ..

Today is Day 30 since TeeFury was launched on July 22nd. Celebrating our first month (which was quite tumultuous) we will be offering a unique limited edition TeeFury shirt. We will continue this tradition every month.

The August TeeFury Tee is all about yearning for someone or something so badly you feel like your heart will burst in two. We all have people we love and just can't live without and sometimes we don't realize how special these people are until they are gone from our lives. So, when you are wearing your TeeFury Limited Edition No. 1 Heartbreak tee and all your friends are giving you mad props, remember to be nice with other peoples' hearts and don't smash them to bits like some people I know.

Thank you everyone for a wonderful first 30 days!

Where do you find inspiration?
In the ocean, in the mountains, in old 1970's advertising journals, in the NYPL Digital Library, in conversations, in food.

Age/Sex/Location
Approx 224 Dog Years/Guess/Southern California -

How long have you been an artist? What kind of artists are you?
I draw from time to time, but occasionally work gets in the way. I have a sketch pad I have been carrying around for the past 6 months and I think only the first 10 pages are drawn on and the rest has turned into a discombobulated mess of mind mapping, seeds of ideas, random thoughts, grocery lists and any other item I need to write down. I really really need to get with the times and pick up one of those trendy mole skins I see all the cool kids use.

Blonde or Brunette?
I know this question has been a bit polarizing for everyone, and perhaps we will change it - ironically enough my hair is black as night and I have no preference in hair color and have dated all hair color types - even blue (blue actually may be my favorite).

Paper or plastic?
Metal. Pure hard Metal.

XBOX, Playstation or WII?
iPhone Sudko

However when I am not playing with my iPhone I dust off my old Coleco Vision and rock a little Mr. Do! I would love to have a wall full of legacy systems - Commadore 64 (Commando!), Tandy 1000 (The Black Cauldron!), Atari (Pitfall of course), Intellevision (Burgertime!) I slowly graduated to NES and Genesis and then quickly lost track of all the new systems from there. I would love to find an old 720 game system to our TeeFury office (Skate or Die!).

What do you love more than anything in the world?
Helping people.

What do you hate more than anything in the world?
Hurting people.

Most overused word in the English Language?
that - the words "this" and "it" are a really close second, and I really try to not use them when writing, although I admit that it is very hard to do this.

Most annoying celebrity and why?
Well, according to google Rosie O'Donnel, however I my personal vote is for Joan Rivers.

Favorite band and why?
Radiohead because Thom York completely throws himself into his music and their shows are the most soul penetrating shows on the planet.

What do you do when you are not creating art?
Making TeeFury better or surfing.
