Ok, so I've been trying to rattle my brain really hard to see what I could possibly squeeze out of it to help promote our beloved
community, Elftown. The ideas that come out of this brain aren't often all that great, but I'm hoping that this multifaceted one
has at least, a little merit. It has consumed a great deal of my time, so I'm hoping that it will be able to bear much fruit. Nothing 
ventured, nothing gained, it is often said, though. If any of this helps Elftown to grow, then I will be elated!

Ideas, suggestions anyone for this concept? Please, tell! I would like to hear them. Thank you!

Thus far, this has two parts:
<img:http://www.elftown.com/stuff/ET-IvyDrkLft_20.png> Graphics I created with an Elftown theme:
  <img:http://www.elftown.com/stuff/ET-IvyDrkLft_15.png> Can be used here on Elftown.
  <img:http://www.elftown.com/stuff/ET-IvyDrkLft_15.png> Can be used anywhere Elftown members can possibly place them:
    <img:http://www.elftown.com/stuff/ET-IvyDrkLft_10.png> To draw attention to Elftown - advertise Elftown.
    <img:http://www.elftown.com/stuff/ET-IvyDrkLft_10.png> To link them back to Elftown to bring people here in a 'click'!
<img:http://www.elftown.com/stuff/ET-IvyDrkLft_20.png> My art I designate for products (T-shirts currently) to:
  <img:http://www.elftown.com/stuff/ET-IvyDrkLft_15.png> Advertise Elftown!
  <img:http://www.elftown.com/stuff/ET-IvyDrkLft_15.png> Bring in money for Elftown's maintenance, keep Elftron happy and healthy!
  <img:http://www.elftown.com/stuff/ET-IvyDrkLft_15.png> Hmm... just www.elftown.com on them or would it be good to add Elftown's Logo, as well?


(Note: There has to be something placed on my art that will distinguish between what is sold for Elftown and what is sold that will be my profit. I have no problem with selling T-shirts with my art on them for my profit and still advertise Elftown, too. This is why I thought of the logo idea as a distinguishing factor. Any thoughts?)

(Note #2: Currently, I am planning to use my account with www.redbubble.com to accomplish this mission. However, I haven't figured out how the monies for Elftown and the monies for myself will be kept separate. I don't want money for Elftown to go into my PayPal account for two reasons:
  <img:http://www.elftown.com/stuff/ET-IvyDrkLft_10.png> #1: I don't want to have to do the transactions from my account to Elftown.
  <img:http://www.elftown.com/stuff/ET-IvyDrkLft_10.png> #2: I will not pay the US IRS tax on money I did not earn!
If anyone has bought a T-shirt from this site, please let me know how you feel about the quality of their T-shirts. I do plan on buying a T-shirt from them to see for myself, firsthand. Of course, it will be one that both advertises and donates to Elftown! I wouldn't want to pursue this idea, if their T-shirts aren't of good quality. We wouldn't want Elftown associated with none other than the best! Any other options! Any thoughts? Please enlighten me. Thank you!)

2008-08-05 [bluefarie]: It will take forever to upload your huge art to redbubble, Mom. you'll have to go to Ruth's i think. :P

2008-08-10 [Ramirez]: I will be back here to read all this! I have to go to work.

2008-08-11 [Ramirez]: Hm.. I wonder if promoting Elftown on the inside is helpful too?

2008-08-16 [*Artsie_ladie*]: Hi!
Yes, daughter, I've already talked to Ruth and she said no problem. So, I'm going to put my art on a CD or a DVD and then upload it from her computer. ;) 

Ok.. :) [Ramirez], I think promoting Elftown anywhere can be helpful. :) 

2008-10-20 [Mitsuki The Wolf Girl]: Especially if you are promoting to get people into the spirit of ET, or to get people to encourage there friends to join as well. Some of the people on Et need a little boost of confidence (or to catch the fever, whichever works...) ^^

2008-10-20 [*Artsie_ladie*]: Ah, yes and yes and yes. ;-D

2008-10-20 [Mitsuki The Wolf Girl]: hehehe ^^
