I sold my first T-shirt design last night and all I know about the buyer is that he/she is somewhere in Australia. And how funny that the design was based on my craving for a good rainstorm, for last night it began to rain. Hard. And I ran outside barefoot and got myself soaked in the mud.
The thought that someone out there will be wearing something I designed fills me up with so much delight. And it’s not even remotely about the $3 or $4 I made. Something I created, something I poured myself into… someone out there will be wearing it and showing the rest of the world. Not that it will have my name plastered all over it, or anything. People aren’t going to see it and say “wow! That Cricket is pretty sweet!” ... but they will see it :)
And just that thought fills me up with so much brightness.

I totally agree Cricket – it’s a big buzz when someone buys your work
