Regal Clothing Co.

OK so I’m a one man band! I work from home In Aberdeen, Scotland… I’m a graphic designer and have been self employed for some time now! I figured a good way of being more creative and expressive was to produce a line of t-shirts that i could make as i pleased. Enter “Regal Clothing Co.” I wanted something that sounded cool, respectable and dare i say it “street” haha. Anyway, i began finding ways of selling on line and found bigcartel! A love was there that second born.

Once i had the site setup the store and registered my domain,
www.regalclothing.co.uk I was ready to start adding my design wich i had been working on over the previous months… Things were slow, i mean. I hadn’t sold any t-shirts at all. I guess i was waiting for google to pick up the site and start indexing it!

It wasn’t until October this year (2008) that i added my ”
Sex Drugs & Sausage Rolls” Tee. Wow an over night success with 5 orders! I thought to myself, cool this one could be really popular!

And here we are nearly 2 months on and with just one tee i have managed to build up quite a reputation!

Sorry this has been so brief, i’d be more than willing to chat to anyone about setting up or even my designs…

Take care of yourselves

Zlango – Makes us happy with pictures

Posted in culture, education, visual arts by Darren Millar

It’s the new way to chat, I first heard of zlango a while back and thought nothing of it. I mean what use do i have for putting my words in pictures? It’s not useful for anything, it’s more confusing than reading and it takes more time to write a sentence as there aren’t always pictures for the words. So what’s the point?

Well… It’s hell of a lot of fun! I’m a sucker for things like this it allows me to waste a huge amount of time and not feel too guilty. After all i can get my sentence sent as a e-card or just straight off as an email..

In short I’m loving Zlango more and more as i use it to produce stupid sounding strings of words. What we really need (more to the point what I’d like) is Adult Zlango, the fun would be endless rude pictures and words! Heaven! :)
