Update #4: I'm done printing!
I'll hand deliver in Austin to friends and family, and ship the rest in the next few days. Pictures are posted to my blog: http://art-wear.org/blog/?p=383
Thanks to everyone for supporting the project, and putting up with me missing my target finish date by a month.
Update #3: 2 Out of 3 Ain't Bad... in Baseball.
In fact, if you could bat 2 for 3, you'd be a zillionaire. I realize it's been a while since I posted an update, but things are progressing, though more slowly than I'd hoped, just due to time. Life happens, and I squeeze stuff in where I can. The good news! Two out of the three designs are printed, and almost ready to go. I'm really happy with the way they both turned out.
I hope to have the third design printed by the weekend, then I'll just have to number them, and pack them all up, so I should start shipping within the next 10 days. Thanks again for helping to make all this possible. I've been shooting video of the process, and am partway through editing a few clips that I'll post to my blog soon.
Here's pix:
Update #2: Alrighty then!
Progress is being made towards printing. As soon as Amazon releases funds, I'll be able to order film and shirts -- should just be a few days, then I fiigure it'll take a couple weeks to get them all printed.
We've just about got the notecards together -- just a slight alignment problem with the InDesign file, but the first prototypes look pretty good!
I intend to do some good detailed posts about the making of these shirts on my blog, so keep an eye on http://art-wear.org in the coming weeks for updates, and videos of art/film/screens/shirts getting made.
Yay, and Thanks!

2 of the 3 designs are printed, and I hope to have the third printed next week. It has taken longer than I intended, but progress is being made. I've also done some filming of the printing and hope to get some videos on line in the next week.

Hi Chris,
Came to your site to check up on my tote bag. :) Happy to hear things are still progressing and that my package wasn't stolen from my mailbox. Looking forward to seeing & wearing them! Keep us informed of when we should look for them in the mail.

Update #1: Adding notecards
Since we've been hanging out here around 30% for a couple days, I thought I'd kick it up a notch and add some notecards of my photos to the rewards. I'm doing six images, including the three for this batch of shirts, and what will probably be the next batch of three shirts.

CONGRATULATIONS CHRIS! Looking forward to the delivery; perhaps we can meet somewhere halfway. I tried to get on your blog but didn't connect in about 1 minute so gave up. Does it take a long time to connect?
No problem about missing the target date. We expected such typical behavior from a "musician, photographer, caver"! LowGun ;)
