We're really looking forward to your contribution to 'ANALOG', our third in a series of limited edition zines which you can view here http://society6.com/books. You have 17 days left to post your submission! All you have to do is 'apply' for the collaboration, create your ANALOG submission (you may create and post more than one piece), and post it for sale as an art print. We'll then curate both the contributions for the zine itself, as well as the accompanying collection that will later be featured in the Society6 Shop. Some things to help you navigate this collaboration: 1. Please click the purple "apply" button for ANALOG, only if you at least intend to contribute. You must apply by no later than Thursday, February 14th to be eligible to participate (and your work completed and posted by February 28th, see below). 2.

Please create your piece and post it for sale as an Art Print at anytime, but by no later than Thursday, February 28th to be considered for the zine and the collection. 3. Please use the title of your work as the title of your post AND please use the words "ANALOG zine" in the description of your post (even if that is the entire description) 4. The final dimensions of the book are yet to be determined, but we are leaning towards a folded broadsheet newsprint style (so plenty of room available to accommodate larger works).

Introducing Tote Bags on Society6

Justin Wills (justinw) — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 15:41:29 -0700

We are pleased to bring you Tote Bags available now in your store! Our canvas tote, available in Natural and Black, is made from 100% post-industrial recycled cotton, making it environmentally and socially responsible.

If you need to EDIT these, just click "ADD T-SHIRTS & MORE" at the top of any post to easily edit all products that accompany your Art Prints.

JPEGs are still accepted if you only want to offer Natural Totes with no white ink underbase. Due to additional labor and materials, the white underbase PNG option retails for a few bucks more than the JPG version. They're totes, totes. ;)

iPhone 5 Cases Available Now!

Justin Wills (justinw) — Tue, 18 Sep 2012 16:27:13 -0700

Just like the phone, the case is taller and slimmer. You will now see them as the default model on all Society6 iPhone Case product pages, in the shop and on your profile.

Introducing Dark Colored T-shirts and White Ink Printing

Justin Wills (justinw) — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 13:15:50 -0700

After much anticipation, we can now print full color on dark garments using a white ink underbase. This means 20 color options for your T-shirts and Hoodies including dark colors like black, slate and lieutenant green! To activate any or all of the new color options you will need to prepare your artwork as PNG files with a transparent background. JPEGs are still accepted if you only want to offer a selection of lighter garment colors with no white ink underbase and keep a more vintage feel to the print. Learn more about preparing your T-shirt files here: http://society6.com/help/tshirts To upgrade your existing T-shirt posts to include our full range of colors, just go to that product page and click "ADD T-SHIRTS & MORE". Once on the additional products page, scroll down to the T-Shirts & Hoodies asset (Click "REMOVE THIS ARTWORK" if you have already uploaded a file here) and upload a new PNG file. Select your T-shirt and Hoody colors, check your product previews and you're all set. Due to additional labor and materials, the white underbase PNG option retails for a few bucks more than the JPG version. Happy Posting!
