celtic artwork Incredibly Occasional Newsletter

 
In the year since my last newsletter (why do you suppose it's called "Incredibly Occasional"?) there have been lots of additions and changes to this, my sprawling empire of web sites dedicated to world domination and the sale of cool things.

2008 was such a productive year for me that 2009 - off to a slower start - is going to have some trouble catching up. But I'm working on it.

There's new art pretty much everywhere, but this Spring's biggest news is the addition of two new online shops in which I hope to tantalize and subsequently fleece you with some really neat new types of merchandise.
 

Celtic Art & Gifts
Ars Celtica offers business cards - celtic art designs, with typography, so that you just enter your own name, job title, and contact data - along with postcards, greeting cards, coffee & travel mugs, and more.

 The business cards are my favorite new product: I can design a business card for you - and in fact, I have! - and all you have to do is to go there and do a little typing. Neat!

Celtic Border Photo Cards
Among the new types of products at Ars Celtica are these nifty greeting cards - you can upload your own photo or graphic, and it loads in behind the Celtic knotwork border.

...while at the Retropolis Travel Bureau there are these custom name tags for parties, events, or friends with really short memories.
 

Art of the Retro Future 
The Retropolis Travel Bureau invites you to visit the Retro Future for your next business trip or family vacation.

 
Complete with tourist information & travel advisories, this travel board promotes the attractions of Retropolis - and encourages you to buy a souvenir of your stay.
 
Check out the customizable business cards for mad scientists, rocketeers, and airship captains. Also of interest are the customizable greeting cards and postcards and some really nice styles of coffee mugs and travel mugs.

This Spring has seen the redesign of this site - Celtic Art & Retro-Futuristic Design - for the first time in four years. The obvious changes are visual. The site's now laid out wider, since enough of its visitors are now running their systems at least 1024 pixels wide. But there are a few other changes, too.

For the past two years I've been trying to direct my T-Shirt customers to my newer shops (Saga Shirts and the Retropolis Transit Authority) because I'm using a different vendor for my T-Shirts over there, and their quality is really second to none. With this redesign I've removed the links to the light colored shirts that I used to sell here and replaced them with prominent links to those other shops.

I know that it's been convenient for you to be able to purchase shirts along with other products right here with a unified checkout. But you're really going to get a better product at the T-Shirt sites I run elsewhere. I encourage you to visit them!

I've also removed a couple of little-used bits that I don't think you'll miss. Overall the plan has been to get rid of some old baggage and make room for the new. Um. Not new baggage, necessarily. Just new.

One of the less visible changes is that my keepsake/jewelry boxes now come from a different manufacturer. They're lined, unlike the old ones, and have a really nice hinge mechanism.

Copyright 2002 - 2009, Bradley W. Schenck. Yep. That's a person, not a vast multinational corporation trying to maintain control over whatever you've downloaded to your iPod. Just a guy who'd rather do this than wash dishes for a living. So be nice, huh? If you like the art, send your friends here - don't redistribute the work, remix it, or - to speak perfectly plainly - rip it off. It's not just that it's illegal. It's also really bad manners. And I know your mother raised you better than that.
