Anthropparel Blog

Finally I have two of five designs on sale. Check it out.
Anthropparel.com/store/

Like I said before it’s only paypal, but it’s still pretty good.

Buy a shirt.

230 shirts are ready. The nose design and the tower design are completed. I’ll pick them up tomorrow and start sellng the ASAP. Soon you’ll be able to see what they really look like. I’ve seen them both, and I’m giddy. They look really good. Way better than they look on the screen.

I’ll start modeling my shirts off immediately so you can see what they look like and decide which ones you want. I’ll be selling the shirts online via PAYPAL only. Sorry, but credit card is too much money for me to drop right now.

Also, if you’re a retailer you can contact me via email at nick@anthropparel.com and we’ll work something out if you want to carry the line.

Well I said the website would be up for August 14th, I missed it. God I tried. But I was having login problems last night. However, the website is there. It needs some SERIOUS modifications and those will happen soon. There’s alot of business going on right now and not a whole lot artistic expression. That will change soon though. The next few weeks will be alot of work for me. If you were planning on grabbing some drinks with me this week… Not so sure if I can do that.

as of this very moment, there is a difference between,
www.anthropparel.com and anthropparel.com

anthropparel.com has the newer site. That will change this evening, so we’ve been promised by our ISP.

Anyway, there’s alot that has to be done for the website, so expect frequent changes. It’s a work in progress. I need to revamp the blog, but I’ve had some delays in learning how to do that. There will be more colour added and what not. And for those of you who care… And believe me this will be a very very small percentage of you. My site SHOULD be standards compliant. Check out the source code.

Well, I ordered some stickers to promote Anthropparel. I got them, they look like shit. That pisses the hell out of me, but it’s still fun. They’re only 4″ by 1.5″ which is pretty small. They’re white and have the logo with the stretched A on them and the link to the site.

Anyway, I went to Warped Tour on Saturday August 12th. Warped for those who don’t know is a punk rock concert, almost a festival, it tours around Canada and the USA with some of the best punk bands. It was pretty good. It was held at Park Place in Barrie, Ontario. We handed out lots of stickers there and met some really cool people. If I met you there, shoot us an email or a comment and talk to us. We’d love to hear from you.

My buddy Denham who rocks a mohawk wore the stickers right on his mohawk. God that’s entertaining. He’s got enough energy to get peoples attention. Which he did. Denham. Thank you. You kick some serious anatomy.

Sunday August 13th, we continued our promotion at Wakestock. That’s the festival for watersports. I was pretty drained that day, but still handed out lots of stickers and had a good time. Met lots of cool people who I’d also like to hear from.

If you’re wondering what a certain logo or design is supposed to mean…

That’s the point. Open for interpretation. But you’ll find some common themes in them. Though, I’m not trying to “be” anything other than to just be there.

I know what they mean to me.

There’s going to be a very limited number shirts upon release. Release is scheduled for about two weeks from today. The will probably come out in pulses for about a week.

I’m working to find an inventory managment system to keep my shit in order and keep up with legal standards if you care.

I’m not sponsoring.
I want to talk to skaters from anywhere.

check me.

We’ve been getting some international attention. I’d like to thank everyone from Holland, Tennessee, Nebraska, California, Vancouver, Calgary, Scotland for taking the time to notice what we’re working on.

It’s fucking cool. Appreciated.

The design is made. Mocks are happening daily.

The plan is—

the website will online August 14, 2006.

12 days away.

Shit will be available through paypal and cheque.

Here’s the deal. Laura and I have sorted every shirt into it’s appropriate design. We’ve shipped a couple boxes off to the printer. I’m aiming for August 14th. I’m praying for August 14th.

Then the shrits will be ready.

What independent shops in your area should I chop Anthropparel to? Let me know.

HOPEFULLY coming to a store near you.
