Burning the Midnight Oil
Aug 29th
After weeks of procrastinating and waiting for materials to arrive, I finally decided to get my wife’s signs done for her studio – no matter how long it took. We all went down to the studio about 7:00, after Anastasia’s Zumba class finished up, and got to work.
Five hours later, this was the result – a dozen new yard signs for the studio:
Oh, and here’s a better picture of my assistant, Lynzy, with her wild I-stayed-up-till-midnight hair:
Working Late
May 1st
I’m going to sleep well tonight – just finished up all my vinyl orders for eBay, and cleaned up a design for a motorcycle club interested in decals. On top of that, Tamsyn and I rented the studio space out to a high school sorority for a dance, so we’ve been here trying to make sure they don’t burn the place down 
New Business Name, Pricing for Vinyl Work
Mar 20th
My vinyl business is slowly but surely expanding, and I’m getting more serious about marketing my services. I’ve settled on a business name (Gadsden Graphics), purchased a new domain (gadsdengraphics.com), and established a set pricing structure, below:
| Size of Graphic (ft2) | Price per ft2 |
|---|---|
| < 1 | $20 |
| 1 to 2.99 | $15 |
| 3 to 5.99 | $13 |
| 6 to 8.99 | $11 |
| 9 to 19.99 | $10 |
| 20 to 32 | $8 |
| > 32 | $6 |
As time allows, I’ll design and launch the new site and get things cleaned up a bit around here. Until then, please bear with me as I take care of the most pressing issues first.
Need a fundraiser for your school or organization?
Jan 11th
School spirit decals make an excellent fundraiser! For qualified organizations, I will send you a stock of decals for your members or students to sell to their peers. Typically, you can expect to keep $3.00 to $4.00 on a $5.00 for every $5.00 decal you sell – a far better margin than most fundraisers out there.
Please contact me directly for pricing and specifics for your school – due to differences in the difficulty of creating decals, pricing is established on a case-by-case basis. Stock designs are available for virtually all sports, mascots, and activities, and custom graphics are available.
Custom vinyl decals now available
Jan 2nd
As my wife and I moved into a new space for her dance studio, we needed new vinyl decals for the windows. That stuff was expensive! We decided just to buy the equipment and do it ourselves… Now that we have the equipment, I launched stuckonpolitics.com, and I’m offering custom vinyl to anyone with a need – at a discount rate, of course.
