Harmless Free Radicals may be a bit spotty over the course of the next couple of weeks. I've fallen behind on a few things, and I am preparing for BellCon!

Invest in the future of Harmless Free Radicals. Please buy a shirt.

I want something to wear at BellCon, which is at the end of September, so here.

I need 10 pre-orders in order to get 20 shirts printed. I'll be going through Seatthole.com, the same local company that does the Sir Reg shirts!

Men's "Bad Coffee" Shirt, USA & Canada: $15 + $3 shipping: size smallmedlargexlargexxlargexxxlarge	Men's "Bad Coffee" Shirt, International: $15 + $7 shipping: size smallmedlargexlargexxlargexxxlarge

I'll give you the fastest shipping I can afford with those rates, but it's probably 2-6 weeks, depending on where you're having me ship it to.

The deadline for this is September 10th, so that I can get the shirts printed and in my hands by Con. But the sooner you help me fill them out, the sooner the shirts will get made! And then it'll take two weeks for them to get printed.

Oh, and I'm only going to do one print run. So it's going to be a really limited edition. So if you want it, you better order it now.

If sales of this shirt are successful, then the next one will be the Fairport Community College Hoody, complete with white cap.

First up, I have not forgotten the promised publishing of my book. Currently it's ETA is the end of August.

What I am now calling FenShop, the shopping cart script for the FenDrawings, is going to go through some more changes in the next week.

The procedure for shopping should end up going something like this:

1. You browse through the drawings, seeing which ones are available and picking the one you'd like to add to your shopping cart.

2. You click on "Buy this drawing!" which takes you to a confirmation page where you can either agree to put it into your shopping cart (sending me a valid email address at the same time) or you can outright buy it. You will have 15 minutes to make this decision, during which time it will be marked "Pending" for the sake of other shoppers. If you confirm that you are going to buy the piece, it will then be marked "Claimed."

3. The very second I receive payment for the piece through PayPal, or the evening I receive your check, the piece will be marked "SOLD," and then sent to you.

4. There will be 15 pieces on display at any given time. New pieces will replace SOLD pieces first, and then they will begin replacing my least favorite pieces, hopefully making for a gallery of work that is my best stuff over time. Pending and Claimed pieces will be left alone until the transaction is completed.

There are a number of pieces left claimed right now, and I have not yet heard from the interested parties. As per my policy, these pieces still have 14 days since being claimed to be purchased (either a PayPal transaction takes place, or a check shows up in my mailbox)! At the end of those 14 days, they are fair game! If you are having trouble completing your transaction, please contact me through the contact form on the FenDrawings page. Be sure to include the item number with your message, if you can.

The shopping cart for the FenDrawings as advertised to the right of Harmless Free Radicals has up to now been more than kinda kludgey. I'm writing it myself.

It is working properly! There are some things I still need to do to it to make it more user friendly and explanatory, but it works and it works pretty well. It shouldn't screw you up.

I may be going about this whole thing the hard way, but I'm doing so in order to learn. It'll probably go through a few iterations over the next year, so please bare with me! I'll do my best to keep you up to date.

Still, there were some orders that look like they may have been placed before I fixed things. If you are one of the people who placed one of these orders, can you please use the form on the FenDrawings page to get ahold of me and let me know? Thanks!

email issues

It appears that my grassdogstudio.com email got backed up. Messages from the past 48 hours may be been returned or disappeared all together.

I have cleaned out the system and have been going through old messages, but if someone sent me something, say, in the last day? Could you send it again?

I just noticed that the Tiger Lilies drawing got claimed. Unfortunately, I don't know by whom yet. I hope my kludgey shopping system didn't throw you off. Please email me if you're the one who claimed it! In case there is a check in the mail, I'm going to leave it claimed for a week regardless of who emails me...

I was going to critique these, but I don't know what to say! In the end, I decided to judge these on exuberance, which is actually kind of what I planned on from the start, but it turns out that I'm just a little too biased about the whole exercise that I can't intellectually discuss these!

I'm so happy I got these in the mail (or handed to me over the counter of my favorite coffee shop). I will be putting them in archival sleeves, in a safe drawer next to my originals. And you all get posters.

I haven't decided what to do about T-shirts and books yet. I have pretty much budgeted myself to send you all books, so that's likely. The two first place winners were to get T-shirts. But Eva didn't give me her address or contact information. And while I could design new shirts and send you guys the prototypes, I also do have a single vintage 50% hemp shirt left. I'll have to wait and see what the winners have to say after I contact them.

This whole thing was so cool, in fact, that if anybody wants to color any of my other comics and send them to me (digital or by hand, email or snail mail), I'll post them to the front page of my site and put them in the gallery!

Have fun!
