FreelanceSwitch Shirts Now Available
Collis Ta'eedHey folks, a quick announcement to let you know that FSw short sleeve and long sleeve t-shirts are now available. There are three designs to choose from, shown below. More designs will be coming soon, so if you have any suggestions for catchy slogans that embody everything freelance, write them in the comments!
Also these shirts are through CafePress so if you’ve ever ordered through them before you’ll have a good idea of what sizes and quality is like. I’ve just put in some orders for the team here, so stay tuned for disturbing photos of us wearing them.
For those of you who have been asking, these fabulous illustrations that we use here on the site are done by a very talented Malaysian illustrator who goes by the name MolotovCocktail and sells through iStockPhoto, see his Portfolio here

That’s pretty cool. I can’t wait to see the pics because I’ve been thinking about getting some stuff through Cafepress and I’d like to see how they turn out

Presumably you’ve purchased the artwork under the extended license agreement at iStock, which only allows for up to 2,000 t-shirts to be created using it?

@Matthew: That’s correctumondo! So if they suddenly get really popular and we sell more than 2000, after we’ve finished celebrating I’ll have to figure out how to pay for more licenses
Actually we’ve managed to get in contact with the illustrator who is going to start putting together more original custom versions for us too which is very exciting, especially for cyan who claims her illustration really doesn’t do her justice

Aside from anything else I have brown eyes, am not a hunchback and do not wear blue sack dresses. I am a vain, vain woman

OK - so it is a man.
I guess the hunch-back and sparkly eyes threw me.
Not that I’ve met any hunch-back women with nice eyes…

This site isn’t run by a bunch of hunchbacks? How disappointing! Now all my dreams are crushed

MolotovCocktail is quite an artist! If I ever get on the FreelanceSwitch team, I call the dude with the brown hair and blue business suit pictured here: http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup/who/emotions/happiness/2196525_messenger_vector.php?id=2196525
