Bass Clef Graphics : CHM Design Store - Music Stuff & More : CafePress.com

I've been working long and hard on some new music stuff. "Gold" bass cleves - on black (or red), and on much of the rest of CafePress's merchandise. Some new novelty bass cleves - "glass", RGB Noise (labeled "Noiz"), a "silver" bass clef with a shadow shown... These are also on black (or red), plus on most other CafePress merch. Click the live links above to check them out.

I've also finally gotten around to a "gold" treble clef on black (or red). (The "gold" treble clef has been available on my merch for years.)

The new "gold" treble clef on black (or red, if you prefer - for the T-shirt)

And, find the new "gold" treble clef and bass clef on stickers with black backgrounds as well.

More coming. I'm not done yet.

Guitar Tools - News, Tips & Resources for Guitarists on Squidoo

Heads up, "Guitar People."

I was so impressed with this Squidoo Lens (kind of a cross between a website and a blog - I'm still learning about it) that I had to share the link to this great and rather comprehensive site about all things guitar. I'll be linking this to my Music Medley Page on my website as well.

Mikey Guitar & Bass - Fretted/Fretless

Mikey Guitar

Curious new electric guitars and basses, which can be changed from fretted to fretless at the flip of a switch.

I wonder what it would be like to play a fretless guitar?

I don't know if it rocks...? What would Hendrix think?

Well, if it gets more girls to play guitar...

Wonder if Fender has a "Hello Kitty" bass?

Tiger Rag Musical Instruments : CHM Design Store - Music Stuff & More : CafePress.com

Tiger Rag Musical Instruments : CHM Design Store - Music Stuff & More : CafePress.com

Here's the Tiger Rag section. Piano, tuba, trombones, and trumpet on a wide assortment of CafePress merchandise - to wear, and not to wear. Wears and wares.

The Tiger Rag Piano is available on black T-Shirts, as well as on the full range of other CafePress merch. The Tiger Rag tuba, trumpet, and trombones are not available on black tees, yet. Not sure if they can be? A technical, black-tee issue. Stay tuned.

Piano/Keyboard : CHM Design Store - Music Stuff & More : CafePress.com

Piano/Keyboard : CHM Design Store - Music Stuff & More : CafePress.com

Here's the "Pianos Gone Wild!". Note also the Optical Illusion Pianos (two kinds), and a variety of unusual pianos in the "More Piano Black Shirts"

Music Black T-shirts! : CHM Design Store - Music Stuff & More : CafePress.com

This is a good way to let you see the music black shirts. Good old "Blog this."

First off, hope you're enjoying the Holiday Season, and my apologies at being away for so long!

Would you believe I've been too busy making new music graphics and merchandise? There's truth to that.

The CafePress black shirts turned out to be more beta than any of us had expected. But, the production kinks have been smoothed out, and I have become aware of what works well according to the CafePress black shirt production, and what doesn't. I've been keeping a very close eye on the situation (along with putting in my two cents in along the way, at no surprise to anyone who knows me).

Please notice the black tee cleves added and notice the brand-new musical-instrument black tees. The trombone and the trumpet have just been added in "brass" and other colors. There's new pianos and new guitars. Don't miss "Pianos Gone Wild" - for all you tigers longing for a jaguar, you cool cats. I felt compelled to put a twist on the piano ivories (elephant tusks) and made them out of elephant skin instead. A little surreal.

More and more music black tees will be coming.

With my next posting I'll show you what's new on the not-black tee side of the store's Music Stuff. More new instruments, including - getting a little wild and surreal again - the Tiger Rag Musical Instruments (why stop with Tiger Rag Piano?). But, there's still more than that...

BLACK T-Shirts!! (With music graphics, of course)

Okay, I'm perhaps a little overexcited.

Black T-shirts have arrived to CafePress. This means that black T-shirts have arrived to Music Stuff & More @ http://www.cafepress.com/chmdesign There already are a variety of very nice shirts available.

You can readily find treble clef and a handful of bass clef black T-shirts on the "Storefront", in the "Music Merchandise" area, and in the "Treble Clef" area within "Music Merchandise." There's also a sampling in "Sales & Features."

Expect many, many more black music shirts to come from me.

Note, also, that Spreadshirt is having a Black Friday promotion regarding their (and my) black T-shirts: http://www.spreadshirt.com/shop.php?sid=4503
