I'm pleased to announce that the Mary Anning PSA is now available on merch on Teepublic!
I was unable to sell the design on Teespring because their website policy does not allow graphics containing likenesses of any real person, alive or dead. Which is frustrating. There's something called publicity rights which is the inherent right of a person to be in charge of how their likeness is used, but publicity rights expire when a person passes away (unless that person has an estate that manages their publicity rights), which is why nowadays you can go into any science museum gift shop and buy t-shirts and posters with Einstein on them. And while I totally respect the publicity rights of living people, if someone is dead, it's not like you can ask them if you can make a t-shirt of them.
Thankfully, the awesome Amanda Perry came to my rescue and recommended Teepublic, which she uses to sell her designs, and so far that's going better. I'd like to make my Teepublic store my official one-stop shop for my merch, but making the transition is going to take a lot more time and energy than I have today. I'll get to work on spiffing up the Teepublic shop and moving links around tomorrow.
Ugggghhhhh business stuff is so exhausting. I'm going to go eat some chocolate.
