I regret to inform...
everybody, but I have to postpone the debut of all of our shirts. Things were going REALLY smoothly, but me and my partner hit a sudden crack in the road. We are so financially tight right now, we have NO extra money to get this ball rolling. Now, don’t take this as a “this is the end of Free Yourself” because I can damn well asure you, it is NOWHERE near the end. This is just a...

Why I do NOT approve of gay "marriage"
luckysays:
willmccloud:
I’m not trying to step on any toes, and I will be the first to say: I AM NOT A HOMOPHOBE. My mom watches Ellen AND Will & Grace. However, as an educated christian conservative, I feel it is my duty to enlighten the people of the internet on why an EDUCATED PROFESSIONAL does not believe in gay marriage. Reason one: marriage has historically been between one man and...

I want to let you in on something...
No, it’s not a secret. But, it’s just me getting worried and raising awareness of some certain subjects that I see all around me. I, myself have fallen victim to seeing suicide attempts at it’s worst. These things are inevitable and we can’t stop the attempts, but what we can do is be a friend. Next time you go to make fun of someone, think of what you could be doing to...
Sorry about the inactivity!
Hey everybody, thank you all for being so patient about all of these things going on! I am really sorry that I haven’t had the time to keep you guys updated on all things Free Yourself. The truth is, there aren’t many things to be updated on. ): Everything is just a money issue, so we’re just waiting for these hard times to get just a little bit easier. But so far, our set...

Summer.
Alright guys, so there isn’t much going on in the world of Free Yourself, we’re just kicking back and enjoying summer before I start school again and before we REALLY get cracking down on work.
The show up at The Loft @ The Chance Complex on July 22nd was one of the best shows I have personally ever attended with amazing music and an amazing crowd and I can only hope that any of those...
Keep a look out!
Tomorrow night at The Loft @ The Chance Complex in Poughkeepsie, New York. I am going to be there tomorrow seeing some of my favorite bands: I See Stars, Emarosa, Our Last Night, and a lot of others. If you’re a fan of FYA or you read this and are going to be there, if you see me, yell at me or something. I’ll most likely be front row around the stage somewhere, so come hang out!...
Procrastinate, it's beneficial!
Yeah, You might think we work long and hard all the freaking time to make sure we have this deadline in the bag. We actually don’t, at all. I’m constantly out partying and having a great time and enjoying life instead of sitting in a room on a computer all day, that’s not healthy!
There isn’t much left for us to do in the planning stage other than set up our webstore and...
My goodness!
It has been a long while since we’ve been able to update anything! Our two main computers both were out of commission for some time. Not to mention that I took a week long vacation late June into early July. It’s been around 2 - 3 weeks and you guys might’ve thought something happened, but everything is still on schedule and we should be keeping it this way!
We just wanted to...

Ideas, Ideas.
So after the tragedies that have happened yesterday, I had the idea to do a line of “memorial” shirts. Two lone shirts, memorializing the icons Farrah Fawcett and King of Pop, Michael Jackson. They might not be out for a long while, but I think this would be a good idea! These two deserve memorial…they’ll get them enough but I want to memorialize them as two figures that...
FREE YOURSELF WEBSTORE →
Okay, so.
Out of the blue, We were contemplating how we were going to set up our webstore when it came down to it. So me (danny) being the curious individual that I am, eagerly went to Bigcartel.com (a great site giving small companies like ours a chance to sell their goods!) to check out how it worked and how we would set it up. I couldn’t figure out much about it other than what each level of...
what fun!
I dont know about you, but I actually find the stressful process of planning and predicting and comparing prices of things to be quite fun! We’ve been constantly checking out new printing companies and their prices to make this as easy as possible. We’re working really hard for this to happen as quick as possible and we just recently checked out how much our first batch of Tee’s...

Some more updates.
Alright, so there is a good news and bad news. Good news is that this is all official and we’ll be advertising some at shows around the poughkeepsie, NY and NYC area, so if you’re at a show I’ll be listing on the blog, then look for me or some sick flyers!
Bad News: Our debut is being pushed back a bit ): !!! Money is really tight right now for me and I can’t get our...
Updates and such.
So, as you know, September is getting closer and closer as the days go by and we here at Free Yourself are so stoked for our T-shirts to be debuting soon! We’re taking all the actions to make sure we have some people liking wehat we’re doing and that are going to be buying our creations. We’ve been adding people NON-STOP on myspace and so far we have about 300 friends with around...
This is cool!
Alright, so the myspace is up and running and it’s looking pretty cool for me jsut working on it. I know nothing about designing stuff like that, so it’s pretty exciting that the myspace even looks halfway decent! Haha, We’ve been sitting on myspace all day trying to add a lot of people that we think would enjoy our clothes. We’re not using any fancy bots or sites to add...

I want everybody!
Yessir, I want everybody that reads this to send me a message on my personal myspace telling me some of YOUR ideas of what would be cool as a shirt. Although I might not use yours, I always consider it and I really appreciate you sending your idea to me. And, If I do enjoy your idea, I’ll most likely use it! Of course, with idea credit going to you.

Thanks...
crazy!
I’ve been an e-mailing machine lately! I have been e-mailing countless screen printing companies and artists to get some quotes and prices and stuff to compare with. I’ve been getting really cool results and I have my heart set on a printing company and I’m still torn between a design.
I have a strictly text based design in mind that I can get formatted by the printing company...
Get Personal!
If you would like to talk to me directly with anything Free Yourself, or just anything at all, drop me a line!
I’m a nice guy and love talking to new people, so expect a definite reply!
My partner’s e-mail and other contact’s should remain private, though. ):

We're complete!
The other person responsible for the creation of Free Yourself Apparel is returning from her overly long trip to India TONIGHT! Things are finally going to be going a lot more smoothly with her by my side making the decisions with me.
Things are going to be a lot easier with her here, as well. She handles the financial part with me, so I can get the designs and prints and money all settled and...
This is going to be epic.
Like, We really have faith in this and we really want you guys to enjoy it. We have our first 3 shirts planned out and we know what we’re doing and how we’re handling money! The only issue is that we’re not sure if we can set out all 3 shirts at once, It’s too much to start off with so, we decided that we’re going to release ONE shirt. We’re going to let 3...
so sick!
So, I’m pretty sure we’ve found one of the 3 shirts we’re going to be releasing first! If it’s still available for purchase by end of July/early August we’re going to be buying the BEAUTIFUL Elephant shirt designed by the magnificent, Greg Abbott. He’s a pro.
His designs are so great, when we want to buy a design he’ll be first on our list to look into!
...
slow.
Currently, there isn’t much going on. We have our close eye on some really cool designs that we should be purchasing soon. I’m trying to make everything work for an end of summer/start of school debut.
Right now, things are just being planned because my partner is currently in India, so I have to wait for her to come back before anything official happens.
ANYBODY READING THIS,...
NEW IDEA!
So, today I was driving home with my best friends and I had a really great idea for a totally text-based shirt design. My best friends are kind of going to be working with me, not with the whole business or anything, but they’re the only people I really want to be modeling the goods.
Okay, so the idea was a helvetica font just saying the words all the way down the shirt “I Spread Love...
Hmm,
As we logged on today, we noticed that we made top 50,000 blogs at 44,000, that’s our peak. It’s not much but we’re really excited about that and that people actually read this dumb blog.
We’re trying to expand and trying to get as many people to read this as possible, so if we’re not being too pushy, it would be amazing if you could tell some of your friends about...

Sorry!
If anybody actually reads this (if you do, we absolutely LOVE YOU!), sorry for not posting yesterday, I was really busy all day. We’re currently on the prowl for nice designs from nice artists. We’ll be buying designs from artists and we’ll definitely be having some great artists design specifically what we want. We are really excited for this all to be happening and we hope you...

Updates .1
So, we’re currently at home working on this new line. We’re looking for designs and trying to find artists that can put our ideas onto the T-shirts! We’re not only about positivity and love as we are also absolutely about MUSIC. We want ourselves to be known as a label that is fun, creative, original, and colorful, but also that you can see alongside your favorite bands and...
WELCOME!
Okay, so this is the OFFICIAL Free Yourself Clothing tumblr. I guess I’m kind of new to the clothing industry and before I go any further with what I plan to do, I’m trying to learn some new things and try to create a following with the ideas I have. They’re solid, promise! I’m not trying to take over this new world I call clothing, just shine a light on it. I want to...
