In this first episode of the “real” podcast, I discuss the progress on the recent Kickstarter campaign, Cryptid Command, as well as my upcoming Kickstarter campaign schedule, including the still-secret ghost-themed merchandise set with glow-in-the-dark items, the Halloween patch and trading card set, and the paranormal trading card series. As well as the plans for the Cryptid Command: Series 2 (Mothman, Chupacabra and The Kraken) patch set and the Grassman/Skunk Ape/Yowie patch set which will continue the Bigfoot Patrol series with even more hairy hominids.

I also go off on a tangent discussing the non-dual nature of the Santa/Krampus yin/yang relationship and how it all relates to Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker.

A discussion of the differences between digital printing, print on demand services, direct-to-garment printing and traditional screen printing services. I cover how the printing methods affect the cartoon logo I create for you, and why you might want to choose a certain style of art depending on the primary method you intend to use the final artwork.

A brief discussion of CMYK (printed) and RGB (web/computer screen) color spaces, including why the colors you see on the computer monitor don’t look as bright when the logo is printed. I also touch on halftones.
