Work, Work, Pause?! (Epic Post)

Hello one and all! As some of you (who visit this page more than once every 6 months) may have noticed, I haven’t been updating my blog very much recently. Also if you haven’t been following me on Facebook or Twitter you wouldn’t have seen any news or updates, and by now you are probably thinking – this guy isn’t doing anything, or has given up on his t-shirt company! Well these ideas or thoughts are not true! I have in fact been working like a little biatch, trying to sort out a lot of things. I have to admit I was probably a little premature putting up the last t-shirt designs when I did, as I didn’t even have an online shop for you to buy from. However I am making steps towards rectifying this and in the process, designing a lot of new tees to tickle your taste buds!

Things have been a little slow the past two weeks, due to illness and other things. But let me bring you up to speed a little. As I mentioned I have been designing new tees which will be printed up soon and WILL be available online. I am not sure how long the whole process will take but I have decided to blog and twitter/facebook a lot more to keep you informed of everything! But for now my plan is to have 6 (maybe 7) new designs printed up and ready for the grand opening of my shop. The old designs have been selling here in Mexico so there aren’t many left. I will however print up another batch (of 10 – 20) IF they are in demand! So don’t worry if you still want one of the old designs email me once the shop is online and I will sort you out.

Another reason why things have been going a little slow, is I am trying to sort my legal status here in Mexico. I need to get an FM3 form so that legally I can work here and sell my tees. I also need this form so that I can register my company legally, so I can get the little ® after my name and also, later, a © on my website.

So in a nut shell, I am working very hard to get everything sorted so that this is a proper company, with more than just two t-shirt designs. I have decided on quite a lot of improvements, one being that I think I’m going to drop the Gustard Kream logo/name and just have CustardMustardGustard T-shirts. I’m kind of just waiting for the right time to strike and launch everything together (new tees, online shop etc.).

Sorry for the long post, give yourself a pat on the back if you managed to read all of it without falling asleep. Please keep coming back, as I will be posting a lot more now (hopefully daily) to update you on my progress and PLEASE keep letting other people know about me, my company and this site – I know its hard as I don’t actually have any t-shirts online to sell yet but they will be coming and they will be limited. Oh yeah I am also hoping to design a proper website as well. This probably wont happen for a while yet but it will be a bit more in keeping with my T-shirt range. Right I’ve finished now. You can leave!

I am here still!

Just realised its been quite a while since I have updated my blog. I have had some other work to do but I have been working on my t-shirts as well. Things aren’t going 100% smoothly at the moment and I am having some problems with some things but hopefully it will change soon. I have a lot more designs to come and as soon as I can, I will be putting my online shop up. Sorry for the hold up and thanks for the support. It would be great if we could spread the name more and get more people interested. Like I said I have a lot more ideas and designs coming. Fingers crossed things will start to improve!

As you’ve been patient with me here’s a sneak peak at a future design. My first logo Tee I will be releasing…. hopefully alongside some other designs. Enjoy ✪______✪

New Logo CustardMustardGustard

As some of you, who visit this site enough, may have noticed I have a new logo. I did like my previous logo but I needed something a little more versatile. Also when I down sized the cupcake logo it got a little bit messy as there was too much detail and too many lines. So I decided to change to something a little more simple in shape and design. The logo still consists of a face but even at small sizes the shape of the logo is still recognisable as a Lolly!! So this means I have had to update everything (including my T-shirt designs). I know what you are thinking ‘what about the T-shirts that have already been printed??’. Well I have only printed one batch so far, that I am selling here in Mexico for the time being, but from now on the new batches will contain the new logo!  So I hope that you all like it! Like I said it wasn’t that I didn’t like my old one, it’s just it was too messy on prints. ⋑______⋐

Below are some samples of how it will look. The logo is a lot more versatile than the previous one so I can use endless amounts of colour and pattern combinations to create different effects.

One day soon I hope to register my name and logo so I can put the little ® after it…… that will be a fun day!! Can’t wait. ^_______^

No Numbers?

So I have made an executive decision not to add numbers to all the T’s. I really wanted to but I realised how much work it would involve and thought there’s a reason why not many (if any) T-shirt brands do it! Sooooo unfortunately they will no longer be 100% original. However they are still limited to 250 so not many people in the world will have the same shirt as you (if you buy one), in fact there will only be 249 other people with the same shirt as you. Like I said I wanted to do it but in reality it wasn’t feasible. If, in the future, I can find a cheap or fast way to do it then I will but for now they will remain as below. Although I might do something in place of the numbers but for now they are just blank.

I also just want to point out that I am working on getting my shop up and running online so you can order a Tee. But I’m having some issues with the mail services. Once that’s sorted I’ll get the shop up! Just to let you know I haven’t forgotten about it. Please bear with me!
