Cupid Wanted Poster
Here's another Anti-Valentine, a Cupid Wanted Poster. AKA - Eros, AKA - God of Love. Wanted Dead, Known For Causing Heartaches All Around The World. If you're anti-love or hate Valentine's Day this should appeal to you.
A bit about me: The story starts back quite a few years with drawing a self-portrait sketch to put on Christmas cards. It said "Hoe! Hoe! Hoe!" under a guy working in the garden getting rid of weeds. Then I found iron-on t-shirt transfers. (A light bulb moment!) I put the design on a shirt I could wear to the farmers market where I sell my garden goodies. From one... came other ideas and more shirts for variety. Shoppers started commenting that I ought to be selling the shirts. A few shirts sold, nothing much really, but fun to have beside the veggies at market.
Then... whilst surfing the net in January 2005, I came across Cafepress, it looked like a good fit for selling the designs on the net and maybe developing some other design ideas. Another good thing... they also did books. I had been gathering recipes at the market for years and been thinking they should really be put together into a book. Yep!... I ended up with a recipe book to sell at market too. So... That's how I became an online merchant.
