Pretty Mugs, iPad cases, Journals at Cafepress.com

(Cross-posted to Adventures and Shopping blog)

 I seriously need a manager! It's the middle of the night (UK its-dark GMT time).  I've promised several people reviews.  I've promised myself and others the completion of two floor plan products. 
(Edit: It is happening! New products are on their way!)  And what am I doing?  I'm trying to fill the world with more junk, through CafePress!


Not quite satisfied with my dice mugs on Deviant Art, I have turned to CafePress (Cafepress, Cafe Press ?) , who at least mock up an actual graphic of the product (which is more than DA seem to be able to do).

My art lends itself well
to baby bibs. Is this
a good thing?
The expression "sell-out" doesn't even begin to cover it... but I refuse to feel guilty unless I actually start selling. ;)  Anyhow, it's a sort of 3-D home publishing.   You have to try it at least once.  I just didn't think I'd be so taken by putting a design on a baby's bib:

On a more RPG related note, I've been really taken in by all of the different demonstrations of iPads and tablet computers at the gaming table, so maybe I can make the iPad look more at home amongst the dice and scenarios:


(Buy the case now,
the iPad will surely follow.)


On a more practical and affordable note, these journals come with a choice of plain, lined, "task sheet" or dotted paper.  The latter would be perfect for mapping during a gaming session.  I'm definitely ordering a few for myself.

Okay, the prices are pretty high.  I've added mere pennies to the Cafepress base price.  The good news is that sometimes Cafepress run promotions - For example: this week the code is "SPRING2011" for a 15% reduction on prices for the next 7 days.  (Untested - might only work in one continent region)

More work in progress

I don’t want to get too superstitious about this particular project, but perhaps it is actually cursed by the spirits of the dead.  Maybe completion will only actually occur when I shakily ink my last with one hand and Death’s bony hand is on my other. ;)    Far too many real life commitments and sparkly distractions keep me from the broken path through the Lands of the Dead!  The Tombs’ will probably be released in two parts, the work depicted here will be in the first pack – a sort of “upper crypt” and the second pack will be more “dirt and skulls”.  The picture here is of the pre-colour preparations.  I hope players don’t mind the odd repeated flagstone.

Crypts, Tombs and Catacombs will be compatible with the Basic Pack (on DriveThruRPG).

Thanks for reading.  -Bb-.  :)
