Remix
We've been wanting to do something like this for a while...
And with the release of MySoti, we'll finally be able to offer a little 'shirt design' love to everyone.
A MySoti'Mix shirt - is basically a shirt that has other 'stuff' associated with it - so if a designer has uploaded some additional graphics with their shirt design, you as a regular shirt-loving shopper will be able to take those extra design bits and add them to your shirt; to truly create a bespoke design that's 100% particular and personal to you.
It's the ultimate in unique, bespoke designer ware - and what's more it's all done with the approval and blessing of the original artist; so you'll know that what you get in the post will have all of the great design of the original.
What do you think? We'd love to hear your thoughts...
P.S. Apologies to lunchboxbrian :) We just love using your image for our tests!

Beautifully Drawn - Bibyu.com
Bibyu.com
So today the juicy news begins...
If Bountee was a great way to create t-shirts and then make some money from each shirt sold, then Bibyu is the same but for artwork.
We'll soon be opening up the doors to allow designers from all over the Internet/world the ability to upload and create fine-art poster prints AND blocked, framed and mounted artwork - and of course make it available to buy. Using the same system as Bountee it means that the only investment from a designer up front is talent, and perhaps a little design time. Other than that, if you want to upload 20 designs a day then you can - and it still won't cost you a penny! (Unless you buy one of your own designs of course!)
Our poster prints are individually printed on a wonderfully soft textured, 315gsm 'fine art' quality paper and judging by some of the incredible designs that we've already seen for shirts these are going to look just awesome in rooms across the world. And, of course, if you're looking for something a little more 'luxurious' for that empty space on your wall then there's always the canvas prints too.
We've spent a long time working on getting just the right quality print and block framing for our canvasses and have taken great care in continuing the high standards that we set with our shirt printing; we think that you'll be amazed at the quality of the finished product and we really can't wait to be up on your living room walls...
If you haven't already you may want to sign up for the beta here
Tomorrow we talk a little bit about Remix'ing!

The skinny on MySoti
Since we first announced MySoti people have been emailing asking just what exactly it is and how it differs from Bountee.
Well, as we hit our final few weeks of development for this phase, we thought that it would be a good time to open up a little and explain just what it's all about.
MySoti - Make Your Stuff On The Internet - is a complete redevelopment of Bountee; and with it we are adding some amazing new features and some great new products. Some of which we are still finalising the details for so we won't show our entire hand today. Besides what will we have to talk about next week eh?
Bountee has been a great success in simplicity, with lots of people praising us on the ease of use and ability to create shirts in a matter of seconds. We also heard a lot of feedback from people saying that we were perhaps a little 'light' on features too; especially when it comes to reporting and recording shirt sales etc. Add to that a world of mails and comments asking us to produce work in other products; ranging from onesies to tea-towels and you'll see that we've had a lot to think about.
Well, we've listened hard - and using your feedback as well as our own experience of the site we think we've addressed all of these comments and then some!
Bountee will still have a home within the MySoti group of sites, but she'll be joined by her sisters Bibyu.com and Byoodoo.com; all three of which will join up to become the mighty MySoti - a bit like the dudes from Battle Of The Planets; or Power Rangers if you're younger than the old fart writing this!
Byoodoo we can't talk about right now - but tomorrow, we'll chat about Bibyu.

But did someone say American Apparel?
