First Big Step?

It's time for the leap from a low-key, building-foundation company to an open-to-the-public, ready-to-sell business (Not like we are going to be hopping over and chasms any time soon)...

As our first collection of tees is being collected, viewed and photographed, it seems we're off to a bright start. The quality of the garments is superb and most of the prints look spectacular. I say most because there is small room for error and if any mistakes are made the shirt gets scrapped. For obvious reasons, we scrapped a couple tees. All for the better. This is why we take extra time and care and make the best possible looking shirt, for every shirt.

I'll take you through the ones I'm posting up here, there's a bunch in this collection, probably for the best. We wanna let the customer have choice and that’s why so many designs are available.


The first design I've included is Sleepy Puppy by Kathy Braceland and Wise Man by Canne featuring My Shorts in the bottom right hand corner (those aren't for sale).


The second design is Corn Dog by Lisa Rotenberg...for some reason this makes me crack up every time I see it...he's just leaping so high and looks so happy lol.


Anyways, the third picture is of me wearing Graffiti in Sherwood Forest by Lisa Rotenberg. A great shirt for camping or being in the woods.


The last picture is what I like to call a "IWANNAT Bed Collage" featuring all of the t-shirts from the collection on my bed.

If you are interested in any of this stuff just go to our site (www.IWANNAT.com) and buy ‘em...most are there! Don't worry we are working on getting better product pics up so bare (or bear?) with me and they will be up in the next few days.

Anyways I'll make another post tomorrow updating the blog world of the pictures situation.

Oh! Also, before I leave/forget to say, We now offer SLOGAN tees (anything written on a pimp looking white AAA platinum tee) for $14.99 any size, any font...Crazy deal tell you friends/buy one...ITS ON THE WEBSITE UNDER SLOGANS.


Ok I gotta crash its to late for eyes......

The Beginning (AKA We're Rolling)

A famous Gladiator (Russell Crowe aka Marcus Aurelius) once said, “it is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.”

Well the fear of IWANNAT.com never beginning to live is now past! We our officially selling t-shirts and rolling! Waaahewwww! IWANNAT offers people interesting designs and concepts never before thought of on shirts. This art includes everything from trippy chicks to caricatures of emotion to realistic portraits. This line has been created for anybody interested in cool tees and we're just in time for the start of the Summer! OK, we may be 5 days late, but we are still coming with energy to take the summer by surprise with our exciting new line of artistic t-shirts. I hope you enjoy everything you see here, on our site, and with IWANNAT written on it. If you have any questions, suggestions, comments, rants, links, business ideas, knowledge of any hidden treasure please shoot me an e-mail! (andrew@iwannat.com)

Just a quick run down of what’s going on these days if you have read the previous blog… Pretty much, the company has gone through months of changes (last time I blogged was April 18th). Basically, the equipment and style of printing is still the same as before ( we use a heat press with transfers, plastisols and vinyl) and some screen printing as well. The main reason for the heat press is it allows us to use as much colour and detail to designs whereas screen printing limits the detail to images. Our website is based on the server HostPapa.ca which is a great Canadian web host company and I suggest you check ‘em out!

Our site uses a revised and edited version of Zen Cart with a few other features. Right now, our main payment gateway is Paypal. The reasoning behind this is simple: almost everyone has PayPal, its safe, secure, trust worthy and its kinda expensive to take credit cards like Visa and Mastercard directly on the site for now…but this could all change soon.

This is all I’m going to write for now, but I appreciate any support given and any purchases you may make on IWANNAT.com This is only possible because of the great support from our artists who have devoted time, effort and a lot of designs. This, however, is just the beginning. We have come together now we shall strive to build relationships and work together towards success.

Every great rant must come to an end, and with that, later dudes
