I have to be real, folks. Right now I'm really over-stressed and it's telling on my health. For those who don't know, I do have diabetes,  a heart condition, degenerative disc disorder and arthritis. This combination of illnesses sometimes makes just getting through a simple day difficult. I need to streamline the website a bit in order to be able to keep up with it. To that end, I'm pulling down the direct online sales features for limited edition prints and hand crafted items. I just can't keep up with adding the new ones and tracking what numbers have sold online and all that. It's more work than I have time for. So those changes will slowly be implemented this weekend and through next week as I also work on adding new designs to the online shops at Zazzle and Cafe Press.

Limited Edition prints will still be available by request as will anything I have time to hand craft. You will just have to email me to make your request for the item, get instructions on making payment and to give me your shipping info. I may occasionally have them up in places like EBay or Etsy, though it's unlikely since those places tend to charge me for listing and I've never found them great venues for sales. I'll still be doing occasional vending events as I can find those that don't charge enormous amounts for the space and aren't so far away as to have additional lodging and travel expenses.

Now, in other merchandise news, I am now designing shoes and skateboards! Zazzle.com recently added these items to their long list of products. For some of these, I'm using already existing art. For others, it's entirely new designs not available elsewhere yet like this one:  "Can't Take the Sky" Skateboard. Others are a blend of a previously available image or character presented in a new way like this one: "Stinger" Skateboard. So check out the stuff at Zazzle! I'm hoping to eventually do some shoes to match the boards. If you're interested in having a skateboard or shoes featuring art I don't have up there yet, please contact me at aazaris_world@sbcglobal.net and I'll see what I can do.

That's it for now other than a reminder that I will be vending September 27th at Houston Pagan Pride Day and will also have the laptop rig and internet access to be able to take orders for drop-ship merchandise from all online stores. I will have some sample merchandise for you to look at and will also be taking requests for specific items if you have them.Some I may have to put together the next day for you. Others I may have the files on hand to put together on-site. So please feel free to ask if you want something specific.  I'm generally quick with the design work because I have the process streamlined for efficiency.
