Back to the Ko-fi

We have opened up a NEW and improved Ko-fi page and here's the social media banner for it.

It's mostly being managed by Perry with my artwork and input.
I know I used it before and I really am thankful for all the friends that have bought me coffee in the past. It feels kinda silly to open a new ko-fi page after I spent so much time just trying to get people to follow it.

But there it is. It's gone because.
 .

Now that I'm getting back to work, with HELP that I haven't had before, we needed to get a new revenue source as quickly as possible. Perry and the ZOBs are working hard on the Zazzle store as well as colouring books and other secretive projects that I can't talk about, but these are all long term projects that will generate passive income down the road. 

The last thing I want to do is make posts asking people for money, but I also realize that a lot of people like to give tips when they get a cool kick ass zombie portrait for free. So this is the way they can do it.



I'm trying really hard not to get verbose and explain why it's okay that I do this. I don't know why I always feel like I have to justify my every action, but I do. MEntal Fuckery in my hEAD.

anyways, the Zombie Factory Ko-fi STOP ... go there. Get a free colouring book.

Zombie Avatar

 This is the first Zazzle Zombie portrait that I made in to an avatar. I plan on doing something similar with all my zombie portraits. So ... find https://fb.me/ByronsZombieFactory and post your face if you want one too.

First come first to be zombified

the FIRST Zazzle Zombie

It is finished, warts and all. I could probably tweak this for days and still not be 100% satisfied.

Thanks to Perry though, I have said it's done and I'm ready for the next zombie portrait attempt.
Mixed emotions trying to draw a portrait for the first time this year.
I don't know how well, or poorly, I did on this portrait but it was fun.
Perry is going to make a post over at the Ko-fi page for the Zombie Factory.
(i know, I had one before and closed it down. This ko-fi page is different. It's about whatever Perry wants to talk about regarding the operations of The Zombie Factory. He'll tell you more over there sometime today.
He's happy with the image, I'm on the fence and anxious to know what the victim thinks.
There's a lot of symbolism in this template. I am excited about this new direction things are heading

Here's the final image, and the basic template for the first shirt design. 
After I was happy with it (as happy as I can be right now)
I went to Zazzle and put it on a Tshirt

I also put the same design on posters and postcards
Economical options for anyone.
I can also do coffee cups, stickers and more.
So what you want?
:)



 In case you're wondering, Zazzle Zombies are zombie portraits I created by hand then make them available to purchase as prints or shirts or whatever other product Zazzle carries. That way I know for sure you get the poster or shirt, and I don't have to stress myself out.


So ... who wants to get a zombie portrait on a shirt?
Find the Zombie Factory Page and find out how :)

Zombie Themed LAMPS

yeah, that's right. I made some lamps :)

 

Zazzle lets me make some really cool and interesting items. I wish I could actually afford to buy some of the things I'm making. Maybe one day ... but for now I'm enjoying the process of creating, and building a zazzle store filled with Zombie Themed Merchandise that is available around the world. 

I'm mildly discombobulated today because I went on facebook to answer some messages and got caught up in some memories and remorse ... getting out of that by completing little tasks on Zazzle to get my store looking nicer. I really want to try to put portraits on shirts ... would you be interested in that?

If you are ... leave a comment in the comments section.
If you're really serious ... leave your photo too (or a link to your face) and I'll try to do one today.

Thank You for the Support!

Still a lot of experimental learning going on in my life. If anyone actually follows these updates from the blog, you're super cool and I'd really love a shout out in the comments. If you only read this when it's posted on facebook, I'm still staying away from most social media, specifically facebook and instagram, except for the auto posting. So if you comment in facebook, I probably won't see it and if I do, I most likely won't respond. #faq 

Amidst all the lesson learning failures are a few peaks of awesome ... like when someone in Indiana USA bought this green skull drama magnet.
That same person also bought this super cool 30 zombie cat pattern coffee mug.


That, was a nice positive perk.
(((if YOU, the person that bought that cup, can take a picture of it when you get it, and send it to me, I would love to put it on my website somewhere. I'll mail you a postcard if you do ;)   ))))

A few days later someone bought an birthday card.
ANOTHER POSITIVE BOOST!! Woo Hoo!

I might not be making huge bank with small sales, but it's a start. And I like selling without the worry of shipping or any of the other business. I create some interesting artwork, put that artwork on a wide range of products. Someone can buy it, get it shipped to them without me having to worry about it. And I get a small but fair profit. It's a neat feeling, these little bursts of positivity. They're addictive and I want more. I want positive in my life all the time ...

So I have begun focusing as much of my time as possible on building my zazzle store. I don't have time for social media but I know social media is needed. I'm working on my Pinterest board, and the zombie cat  pinterest board, but mostly on automatic. I want to tend to them more as time goes on, so if you do the pinterest thing, I'd love a follow or whatever.

As for the blog, I'm going to keep at it and turn it into a "what's new in the Zombie Factory" blog and my own personal journey as an online store owner. I have a few other ideas but I can't give any away.

The rest of my social media will be taken over by Perry Belmon and the SOBS. They're controlling any of my facebook or instagram posts that may or may not happen, now or in the future. It's kind of complicated but I've been convinced that they'll be good for me and my business. What do I know?

And that was long winded. Thanks again for buying my zazzle products. 
Now would be a great time for someone to start affiliate selling for me ;) 
Big profits to be made through Zazzle and your own hard work.
