:::HEY! STUMPYTOWN:::

I just came across this blog though Illustrtion Friday and it's full of really great artwork. I especially like the Florence and Paris sketchbooks. Also, her characters are super cute.

Head Like a Kite T-Shirts

If:
a) you are a girl, and
b) you want a t-shirt designed by ArtGhost, and
c) you enjoy indie rock,

Then go get a Head Like a Kite T-Shirt:

They're super cute! And possibly your only chance to get an ArtGhost image on a piece of clothing, since we don't produce t-shirts!

I Shop Indie


We are part of a really cool advertising collective called I Shop Indie. The idea behind it is that indie craft businesses can pool their advertising dollars to purchase ads that they couldn't afford on their own. The result is a website that is a hub for independent designers, and consumers can click through to individual designers' websites. In the end, consumers benefit from being exposed to a greater choice of goods than they would otherwise, and are also exposed to an alternative to mass produced goods.

This is one of the reasons that the indie business community is so great. Not only are designers creative in the products that they make, but in their overall approach to business. The community is constantly coming up with new ways to spread the word about their businesses, and doing it in a collective, mutually supportive manner.

Anyhow, that's my plug for indie businesses everywhere.
