The 'Mister Frisk' range of manga character design t-shirts continue to sell slowly, but steadily, at Otaku Station in Dundee, with half the original stock now gone.
Here's a couple of shots of the shirts in store - alongside the legendary Naruto! - which we actually thought we'd published on this very blog previously, but were only shared on our Facebook page. Anyway, here they are in all their 'high street glory'...
...and if you look very closely, you can see one of our 'Mr Frisk' T-shirts on display in the window...

Of T-Shirts, and Merchandising...
Purveyors of manga collectibles, Otaku Station in Dundee, continue to be happy hosts for our 'Mister Frisk' range of Shōjo manga-themed merchandise - this photo of their window display shows off one of the designs:

And yes, we've sold a few as well. So it's so far, so good, but we're also experimenting with some other designs - such as this one, based on an illustration of the Valkyrie sisters from the 'Sword and the Ring' Kindle eBook:
Chaz has already worn this one around and gotten some good feedback on it. Local set-up costs for printing on black t-shirts are prohibitively expensive at the moment*, so we compromised by blacking in the background and getting the above design printed on white. It looks pretty good, actually, and we'll get some photos of the actual shirt online soon. A further couple of designs are to follow once we get them optimised for print, and we're currently looking for potential stockists of these fantasy/sci-fi themed shirt designs.
*However, with Chaz starting a full-time art & design degree course in a matter of weeks, this situation may change...
