Merchandise mArt!
Greetings, Kitten Academicians!
Once again, our very own Banksyl has created a month-long art “challenge” — although how challenging it may be is entirely up to you! All you have to do to participate is anything you want to do! Whether it’s a photoshop, or an oil painting, or a musical composition, poetry, even a batch of KA-inspired artisanal cheeses — anything goes! All you need to do is tweet a photo of your art using the hashtag #KASummerCamp2021 or mail a sampler to “Kitten Academy Official Cheese Taster, PO Box 186, Monroe, CT 06468.”
As in previous months, we’ll be sharing some self-selected entries from the previous art challenge at the end of this mews article. If you’d like to see all the entries, you can check the previous hashtag: #KASpringIntoArt2021 — There’s some amazing stuff there and we feel like maybe we didn’t see all of it ourselves the first time around so we may be due for some retweetings!
But before we get to that, we need to take a minute to tell you about some things that are — and aren’t — on our Teespring store! The first thing that isn’t is the word “Tee” - they are in the process of rebranding as just “Spring” so you may notice the links we’re about to share go to various spring-related domains.
Jay and Syl, who manage the Teespring store, have added several brand-new designs that we’re super excited about! And there’s also several older designs that are being removed from the store, so this is (probably) your last chance to get them if you’ve been waiting.
Good TODAY ONLY (Monday the 2nd) at Teespring/Spring you can use the code “BACKTOSCHOOL” to get 10% off whatever you order! That savings is entirely from the Teespring portion, so it doesn’t cost us a penny.
Two quick notes - some of these designs are showing you the rear view initially and you have to click to see the front. This appears to be a bug on Teespring. Secondly, don’t forget that for each design, you can choose different styles of shirt (or bag or phone cases, etc) and colors in the menus on the right-hand side.
“KA Summer Camp” White by Jay
“KA Summer Camp’ Black by Jay
“I’ve Made a Puge Mistake” - Puget Art by “Captain Sokira”
“Catterns” by Waithamai
“Don’t Panic” White by Mushi-shi
“Don’t Panic” Black by Mushi-shi
Those are all fantastic and exciting! And here’s a fun fact: the “Don’t Panic” design based on Garbanzo’s paw, who was our last polydactyl, up until the new momcat arrived this weekend who is also polydactyl! Timely option to represent our lovely new mom, “Mural.”
Here are the designs that will be leaving the store on the 7th:
“Truffle” by Waithamai
“Loganberry is Importanter” White by Jay
“Loganberry is Importanter” Black by Jay
That concludes the Merchandising portion of this blog post! Here comes some fantastic art from the previous art prompt! We’ll be back soon with a mewspaper post to tell you all about the new mom, Mural, after we get some good photos of her.
