CUSTOMER OPINION: T-shirts for RPN's Irwin's Fort, Children's book #2

[dsade]

Hey everyone - especially those that supported RPN with the purchase of Russel the Mussel -

I want to do a package special for the first 300 books of Irwin's Fort (book #2). We're going to offer a t-shirt/book combo (this is a HARDCOVER book) for around $12-$13, but I wanted your opinion on designs that your kids would wear.

Here are the options:

Any input here is appreciated.

this one. the others are too "busy" to really look right on a tshirt. they are fine on a book, or poster.

maybe the first one, but i guess i'd need to see it on a single color background instead of a gradient

I prefer the first. Has a friendly air that makes it the most appealing option, for me.

I think the 2nd one...

Can't even afford to have them published yet.

With the slow rate of sales of Russel the Mussel, I would basically be tying up over 10k for several years before seeing any kind of return.

While my motivation isn't all money, our bottleneck on unreleased product has been funding.

Have you thought about partially getting it involved (either russel or irwin) in the Imagination Library? its one of dolly parton's foundations, is run through United Way. If not that one, maybe possible to get involved in something similar? to at least get them out there.

I wish I had more than 30 minutes a day to handle new projects. As it is, everyone's gettingg pissed because of delays while I have to deal with all kinds of BS.

I've sent copies to various school organizations and charities, and nobody bothers to get back with me.
