HI EVERYONE
You might be surprised to see that I finally made my Online store link to be sort of official now. Well, I have my reasons.
Just last night, I found out that the T-shirts I initially designed for personal fun, were being auctioned in Yahoo Japan auctions. The seller made use of a subtle lie that said these shirts were sold in US Tower Records. Many Japanese B'z fans believed her and placed bids. From beginning price of 1,800 yen, the shirts were finally sold at 8,000 yen (about US$75). I can't find this seller's nor the buyers' e-mail addresses, so I can't confront her or warn those poor fans myself. I have done what I can by sending a warning e-mail to Yahoo. Here's one of the auction page that I have saved for proof.
Ok, so in order to stop more people from doing this, I thought I should go ahead and give everyone the link to my store.Please be assured that I never intended to make profit out of these designs, because first, I'm using B'z official logo (which was what all NP-ers agreed on when we discussed the project) and secondly, it was purely for fun between B'z fans, so that we can have our own B'z mugs, clocks and T-shirts. I don't know about you, but I find that B'z official T-shirts and merchandises are very hard to buy. Yahoo JP auctions maze is not only difficult to penetrate but also can be VERY expensive with extra fees here and there.
PS: The drawings took one month to finish from sketch to color (well, in between work and play but still!)... You can be well assured that it's MY drawing and I didn't steal it from anyone.
So in short, if you like these designs, by all means buy it from my store and not from some on-line auctions and from a liar. Believe me, they are so much cheaper here at Cafepress!Sincerely,
KEEN
