Terribleminds Merch: Mug And Shirt, Motherfuckers
It’s time to do a test run on some merch, see if it’s worth doing this in a bigger way (posters, hats, dildo cozies, hunting vests, chainsaws, Blu-Rays, Manta Rays, moon carvings). So, here’s the deal.
This sale only goes until tonight, say, 8pm EST.
I’m going to sell a mug.
And I’m going to sell a shirt.
This is what goes on the mug:
Or, the inverse:
The t-shirt on the other hand, looks like this, and has the terribleminds logo on the back:
The shirt comes in adult sizes: S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X. Men’s or Women’s. (2X and 3X is $5.00 more.)
EDIT: For some reason the XL option isn’t showing up on the actual drop-down button? (Making and editing Paypal buttons is a bite in the scrotum.) If you order, either add a note to the invoice asking for XL or send me an email at terribleminds at gmail dot com.
The Penmonkey design is by the glorious Amy Houser.
The mug is $20. ($15 + shipping)
The shirt is $25. ($20 + shipping)
I have a Certified Penmonkey t-shirt and a mug (though not yet an Art Harder mug) and both are very nice.
Order through Paypal below.
Shipping right now only to the United States, please. (If there’s a real response to this and it’s worth the time, I’ll blow that out and include international territories. Diggit? Duggit? Good.)
Price includes shipping.
They will be ordered today and arrive ~10 days.
Questions? Drop ‘em in the comments.
Sale now over! Thanks all for checking it out.

Being in the UK I can’t currently order anything anyway, but I was wondering, should this be a thing and go international and stuff, would you consider doing the penmonkey design on a black t-shirt?

While I enjoy and appreciate your flair with language, I would only use the mug at work and would probably get in trouble having it there. When you put the Certified Penmonkey on a mug and sell it, I’ll buy it.

Love the t-shirt. Might actually order one. The mug might be a bit much (not for me, but goodness, I have small children in the house!)

Oh, and other answers:
Black shirt = maybe eventually.
Penmonkey mug = also eventually, provided there are sales to warrant it.
Thanks, all!

Yes, I would also buy the penmonkey mug. Um, coffee containment unit.
Question: how much coffee does the coffee containment unit hold?
And, Seriously I can only get these today unless enough people see this and vote yes with their drippy day job earnings?? Gah! Tweet this business, folks!

I’m going to have to hide this from my mom. She’s cool and all, but I think she’ll object to my drinking genteel teas out of a cup with MOTHERFUCKER printed on it.

Make the shirt in black! Coffee stains, scotch and drool show up too much on white.

I think the Motherfucker mug is going to have a limited audience(as awesome as it is), but I did capture some of your sayings on my Wendigisms page and some might be suitable for mugging:
-A Hot Fresh Bucket of Words
-High on my own stink, huffing my word fumes
-Mastering Manuscript Lovingmaking 7
-Progress tastes like bacon
-Embrace the rewrite, from behind
-Writing is a job on par with Unicorn Tamer
-Bleeding Imagination Juice on the Page
-*Poop Noise*
There are many great ones, but these are work friendly
BTW I am ready to post part deux with your permission

Just put in my shirt order — for an XL, so please check the PayPal “notes to seller”.
I am also on the other side of the planet (literally), so I’m not sure if I made the deadline. It’s in the morning on November 30th here, which should put me +/- an hour or so of 8:00 PM EST.
BTW, this shit looks great!

Why do I see no paypal link? I couldn’t have missed it, right? And I was the dude with the first “Penmonkey Shirt Please” comment on the previous post. Rats.

@Mark –
Sorry, closed up shop for the day. 8PM EST.
May pop back on the radar again before Christmas — not sure.

I’m not living in the US, but I would like to drop a short note saying that if I was, I would be buying the hell out of those mugs. They would make perfect Christmas gifts for my writerly friends.

I’m another interested in international orders too. And I’ll jump on the list of other things that I’d happily throw money at you for:
For those of us whose muse isn’t coffee but a little more “medicinal” an etched glass tumbler/pint glass with damn near anything of yours on it
