This blog began in 1997 as a single news page called Nucelus. In 2005, during a long wait to move into a new house, I decided to learn some php and MySQL and write my own blogging system, which became inkyBlog and which now powers this, my own Webbledegook blog.
Thank you to my brother, Murray Ewing, for help with some of the more challenging aspects!
These are available through Fourthwall - you can visit the Julius Chancer range here.
They include a 're-master' of the original Rainbow Orchid t-shirts, plus some new designs. There is no Brambletye Box design - I don't think it's quite earned its own shirt yet!
The original t-shirts were first made available when RO vol. 1 came out in 2009. I had a job working for a t-shirt company, illustrating a number of football designs, and they offered me a discount if I wanted any t-shirts done myself.
I think I got 100 printed, with Egmont buying half of them (if I remember correctly) as promotional stock, eg. they were given away at the Foyles book launch, and half for me to sell myself. I have one left somewhere!
Fourthwall use printers in the buyer's own country* so you don't have high postage costs or import duties, but do be aware they add VAT at checkout. They also deal with all customer enquires. So far their customer service has been very good and I'm really happy with them as a supplier.
* Update: I've just learned that if a local manufacturer doesn't have a particular shirt or size in stock then it may be ordered from the US instead.
Please have a look!
There are still a handful of places left (not many!) and you can book here if interested.
