Celtic T-Shirts: Now Taking a Sustainable Direction

I decided to do a complete overhaul of the print on demand way I do things, especially with regard to my Celtic T-shirts. This has meant removing both my Redbubble and Teepublic stores. I felt there was a better way of working once I had found a company called Teemill. Their bottom line is pretty simple, 100% organic cotton T-shirts printed in a wind and solar powered factory. Throw in that they also provide framed canvas prints alongside fine art prints up to an A1 size meant that I found them too good to resist. And so a new web site was borne. Here it is.

It took a while for me to create but it is finally ready to be shown in the public domain. Unlike many Print on Demand sites, this one allows me to personalise it and make it a stand alone site, which I much prefer. The real deal sealer for me though was seeing all the other companies which choose to use Teemill to produce T-shirts, very much the great and the good of the environmental movement. Proof to me that Teemill are going about it in the right way as far as I am concerned.

That would mean nothing if the product was poor. I can safely report that the first batch of Celtic T-shirts I received from them happily fulfilled my expectations. The quality of both material and printing feels really good.

Heidi and Laura, who both helped me out with photoshoots to promote these new Celtic T-shirts, really liked them when they wore them. The shoots were fun to do and added an extra personal touch to the new web site. Again something standard PoD doesn’t let you do. Check out the gallery on the new web site.

Another aspect which Teemill allows is the ability to print large scale prints on both fine-art paper and canvas. This allowed a selection of my Fantasy Art paintings for be made available as large scale prints. Added to that are a number of my photographs of Stonehenge taken over recent years. Some friends have been saying I really should make them available as prints. Well, here they are.
