I have added a few more designs to our shop. Please have a look:

http://www.planetcatfish.com/shop/

Happy to take suggestions for more designs. I did contemplate a UK store, however it's still cheaper to buy in the USA and get it delivered. If anyone buys anything please post pics of them being worn!!!!

Here is a quick design sketch I did for the logo of a business I was going to start before the recession kicked in:-

I can do it betterer and change the text to planet catfish if you like, I personally liked the simplicity of the design though.
One more bucket of water and the farce is complete.

It's all about having the design in .eps format (e.g. not the text). Then you can do anything in 1,2 or 3 colours. Digital printing of images is still very limiting as it can't do transparency.

I did think of having a t-shirt showing the top left Synodontis granulosa with the text, "I love my granny"...

I like the simple Planet L014 White Tee but it would be nice to have the choice of catfish(from the top left only)...for example instead of the Scobiancistrus I would prefer one of the syno's from the top left or maybe the Liosomadoras.

Not sure how this would be to set up, I am thinking these are made up by the supplier as needed or are a certain number made in advance as generally done in the past?

The way it works is I upload designs. You can then put those designs on your own shirts or whatever else or, lazy option, just select one of the ready made designs. All items are made and dispatched to order.

It wouldn't take me that long to do a syno and auch one. Especially as I think you might buy the granny one and Marc might buy the auch.

Keep nagging me to do it. ;-)

Am I reading it wrong or are the front and back on the shirts switched? Especially the collecting one.

(front) and (back) are two different shirts. One has the text on the front (and a logo on the arm) and the other has the text on the back and the logo on the front. Anyone else foxed by this?

Could well be, although the Lio is not really my favourite auchenipterid.

However, although not official, I've been wearing a catfish T-shirt since 1999 (not constantly :wink: ).

I like where this is going.

- I would like black of course but river green or cobalt blue would be okay too.
- Women's T's and small sizes. Careful with the positioning of things on the front but large front pictures are fine. Some of us have long hair so back pictures disappear.
- Old style or historic pen & ink drawings might be nice too.

- I think a common name theme shirt might be fun, leopard, zebra, moth, or royalty, King Tiger, Queen Arabesque
- line drawing size/type chart with the extremes in life size - all inside the side view line drawing of the RTS whisker/cheek, right down to a little anchor, all shapes too, from twig to chaca.

-someone needs to come up with a saying to go with a picture of an upsidedown catfish :-) I like funny t's as well. Perhaps swimming with regular cats and the song lyric "I did it my way"

-Electric cats need a special shirt too.
-An appropriate cat with the saying, "Screw the algae, I want meat." (That should help with the common misconception!)

Plain old "I *heart* catfish"?
"Beekeeper" with an appropriate picture.

PS-With a cut to the photographer: I still want my catfish smiles calendar, each month with a close up straight on shot of the smiley type of catfish.

Indeed, it is broken. Probably due to some major re-architecting of the site that has happened in the last 6 years and 10 months. The current shop link is here:
http://www.planetcatfish.com/core/shop.php

I'm going to go back and edit Jools' post tho'.

Hi littlebristlenose,

I am struggling to find "page 2". I presume you're using the shop link in the cool tab at the top of the page to start with, what do you click on after that please?

Thanks,

Page 2 refers to the second page in the thread - I fixed the post from you on that page that says "Yay, we've got a shop page" (or something to that extent).

Aha! That makes sense now, I was busy looking for a page 2 on the shop page. This will likely move again when I put it into the standard article format.

Then, perhaps, we should update the old posts in this thread again... ;)
