Thank you to everyone who got excited by the SWAPSHOP and wrote in with an offer.
I got over 300 offers in the end!! Way more than i expected and goes to show i’m not the only one who likes the idea of taking money out of the equation.

So choosing my top offers to get the shirts was a very tricky process and i’m still not sure i made the right choices.
I had offers for all kinds of things! Admittedly about a third were people offering a t-shirt swap- but i mean come on that’s not really very exciting. And i had lots of people offering me nice commercial goods- i could of hooked up a nice new wardrobe for myself- but then that wasn’t really the point of this experiment. I wasn’t just looking to hook myself up.

My criteria for choosing winners was roughly along these lines:

a) Extreme offers> anything above and beyond the expected.

b) Anything that was to help more that just me.

c) Anything that could be added to the winners packages and shared amongst the larger group.

d) Stuff that benefited my artwork or gave good content for the blog.

e) Then just anything that i liked.

SO HERE ARE THE WINNERS!!!
