Skinny Dawg Apparel has been in the works for years, but I wasn't quite sure HOW to make it happen. Or what exactly to do with it. So I registered the domain name way back when, in 2005, and have just held on to it. I didn't get serious about creating tshirt-worthy artwork until the last few years, although I did turn out a cool logo in 2006, which was really the beginning of realizing I could do this. And the impetuous, of course, is that in the Greyhound world (and I'm sure in all the breed-specific groups) is that finding new tshirt designs featuring greyhounds can get challenging!!! So what better way to find a new tshirt than to make one! I'm not sure what is in store for Skinny Dawg Apparel, at this point; it might be a flash in the pan, and it might be a solid producer. More likely, it will be somewhere in the middle. : )
The Skinny Dawg logo is the first logo I ever drew. The inspiration for it was Sydney Sue, my beloved first greyhound. Sydney Sue left us April 27, 2009, after a battle with Lymphoma. She will forever live on through Skinny Dawg.
Skinny Dawg Apparel is currently a for-profit. If I sell tshirts at a greyhound event, I will donate a portion of the proceeds to FastFriends Greyhound Adoption, my favorite greyhound rescue group. If I sell them here and feel like making a donation to the group, I will do so. But at this point in time, it is a for-profit. I thought I'd mention that for the sake of transparency.
So shop away, and contact me if you have any questions. : )
