An addendum to "Cupid Square Kat"

I thought I needed to add a little to that last post on the Cupid Square Kat, mainly about being rejected by the goodness and decency people over there at Zazzle.

Within 24 hours of rejecting my design for postage stamps, Zazzle awarded two (here's the first, and here's the second) other Cupid Square Kat designs Today's Best Awards.

Here are the designs that won:
Cupid Square Kat Premium Magnet
Cupid Square Kat Poster.

Crazy, I know.

Here's Cupid Square Kat's official photo.

He's caused quite the stir over at Zazzle. I tried putting him on postage there, and they sent me an email saying he was rejected because the

"Design may be considered violent, profane, deceptive, abusive, menacing, harmful, or threatening"

Seriously.

Halloween stuff as cheap as humanly possible

Now through Halloween, get stuff from these Rots' Zazzle stores as cheap as it will ever be (they won't let me sell it any cheaper):

iFrank
Rita
Skulls
Vlad
Witchipoo

You'll find t-shirts and posters and postcards and binders and even Ked's shoes! There's something different in each store, so make sure to take a look around before you decide.

And I want to thank you sincerely for all of your support! I can't do this without you!

Camul postcards good to go

I've finally broke down and worked on some Camul merchandise.

First up: Postcards

Yeah, I know what you're thinking. That I did it for Michelle. Well, I'll have you know, I totally did.

So, Michelle, here you go.

The "19 Days of Edgar" Day 19

Jan. 19 Woo hoo! It's here! The day we've been waiting for! Well, I've been waiting, I'm not sure about the rest of you guys, but this is pretty exciting from my standpoint.

Happy happy birthday to Edgar Allan Poe, who turns a youthful 202 today. But, I guess, if you die when you're 40, you're pretty much going to stay a bit youthful forever now, aren't you. Depending, of course, on your definition of "youthful"...

But I digress.

We've been celebrating Edgar's upcoming cake and candles with sales! Isn't that the American way? Each day this month, I've posted something new and on sale in The Rots' Edgar and Chloe store, and today's something on sale was a no-brainer.

Everything!

For the next 24 hours, absolutely everything in The Rots' Edgar and Chloe store will be priced as low as Zazzle will allow. If you've missed anything on sale earlier in the month, now's your chance to pick it up as cheap as it will ever be.

And did you notice? A full moon, respectfully arranged just for the occasion.

So raise your glass (or mug) of cognac, and toast the man who remains a youthful 40 forever, in his own zombie-ish and maggot-y sort of way.

The "19 Days of Edgar" Day 18

Jan. 18 Only one more day! Edgar Allan Poe's 202nd birthday will be this Wednesday, and all month we've been counting down the days with specials over in the Edgar and Chloe store with something new and on sale every day. Read about the idea here.

The "19 Days of Edgar" Day 17

Jan. 17 Getting ready for the big finale! Day 17, and I've been extra (extra) busy putting this one together. To celebrate the 202nd birthday of the American writer and poet, Edgar Allan Poe, I've been creating new Edgar designs and posting them in The Rots' Edgar and Chloe store.

The "19 Days of Edgar" Day 16

Jan. 16 Day 16 and three days until Edgar Allan Poe's 202nd birthday. Each day this month I've posted something new and on sale in The Rots' Edgar and Chloe store, and I'm a little excited about today's post.

Skateboards. Yeah. Skateboards.

See? Pretty cool, huh.

Not only that, you can also choose your skateboard shape and size, so you aren't locked in to the ones I have pictured here. All skateboards in the store, no matter what style or size, will be on sale for the next 24 hours. Tomorrow evening around this time I'll post something new, and all the skateboards will revert to their regular prices.

The "19 Days of Edgar" Day 15

Jan. 15 Only four days left until Edgar Allan Poe's 202nd birthday. Are you stoked? Is your cognac ready? Are you a Ravens' fan? (Let's leave that conversation for a different day, shall we?)

Each day this month, and in celebration of Poe's upcoming birthday, I've been posting new items in The Rots' Edgar and Chloe store, all of which are on sale. Something new every day. I came up with the idea somewhere around writing this blog entry.

Today's something new: Ornaments

Edgar and Chloe round ornaments

Just Edgar oval ornaments

Just Chloe red oval ornaments

And a second version of just Chloe on a round ornament


As I said, these ornaments are on sale for the lowest price Zazzle will let me post them for the next 24 hours. After that, I'll be posting the next day's something new, and these little guys will revert to their regular prices.

The "19 Days of Edgar" Day 14

Jan. 14 Only five days left until Edgar Allan Poe's 202nd birthday, but we've been celebrating all month long. Over in The Rots' Edgar and Chloe store, you'll find something new and on sale every day until the big day. And then you won't. But never mind that now; that isn't happening until next week, so carpe diem!

Today's something: Aprons.

Edgar and Chloe aprons

Just Chloe aprons



You can choose from three different sizes, and if you like the Chloe-by-herself version, you can also choose from three different colors (the Edgar and Chloe ones didn't look so good on anything but white, so there you go). All the aprons will be on sale for the next 24 hours, after which time they will revert to their regular prices and I'll post something new and, as it turns out, also on sale.

I explain the whole idea of the "19 Days of Edgar" here.

The "19 Days of Edgar" Day 13

Jan. 13 And here we are at lucky number 13. All month we are celebrating the 202nd birthday of Edgar Allan Poe coming up on January 19. The Rots' Zazzle store is getting loaded with stuff featuring the Rotty version of Edgar and his raven, Chloe. Read about the idea here.

Today's stuff: Bags

Edgar and Chloe bags

Just Chloe bags



And you're not limited to just the sizes and colors pictured here. Choose your own style, color and size on the order page. All the bags in the Edgar and Chloe store will be on sale for the next 24 hours. After that, bags will revert to their regular prices, and I'll upload something new in the store.

The "19 Days of Edgar" Day 12

Jan. 12 And welcome to day 12. To celebrate the January 19th birthday of the American writer and poet Edgar Allan Poe, I've been posting new Zazzle designs with his Rotty image. Read about the whole idea here.

The "19 Days of Edgar" Day 10

Jan. 10 And there you have it. Nine days down, nine days to go. Plus day 10 in between. In celebration of Edgar Allan Poe's 202nd birthday coming up on January 19, I've decided to post something new every day to The Rots' Edgar and Chloe store on Zazzle, and put that something on sale for the day. Here's the idea as I had originally posted it.

Today's something: Mousepads

These mousepads will remain on sale at the lowest price Zazzle will allow for the next 24 hours. Tomorrow night around this time I'll post a new design (also on sale), and mousepads will revert to their regular price.

The "19 Days of Edgar" Day 9

Jan. 9 Day 9 is now underway, and we're almost halfway there. Thanks again to everybody for supporting The Rots through this strenuous period. O.K. Strenuous for me, maybe not so much for you.

All of these posters will be offered through Zazzle at the lowest price they will allow me to for the next 24 hours. After that, the price reverts back to its undiscounted state, and tomorrow around this time I'll post something new in the Edgar and Chloe store.

The "19 Days of Edgar" Day 8

Jan. 8 Here's your next batch of Edgar stuff to keep you occupied until his birthday on January 19.
