Today, I launched my back to school collection over at my Etsy site. This features new print on demand products inspired by my original mixed media and digital illustration work. All products are fulfilled by Printful based on my designs.

The first category is backpacks. I’ve actually been using a custom printed backpack of my otherrobert Love emote at work for the past six months. It’s super durable and fits a lot. I can fit two filled 2” binders plus my iPad or laptop in these bags.

The Aliens are Here (a one-eyed blue alien) and Jack’O’Lantern Love Focus (a jack’o’lantern with a heart) backpacks feature an additional pocket in the front. The Seeing You (a three-headed alien), Mask (a watercolor background with the outline of a face), and Jack’O’Lantern love (a jack’o’lantern with a heart) backpacks are all over print backpacks with no extra front pocket.

The second category is laptop sleeves. Again, I’ve been using a custom printed sleeve (the Neon Wings design) from Printful for the past six months. The quality is really good and the zipper holds up well.

The four designs are Fishing (a kraken attacking a fishing trip), Seeing You (a three-headed alien), Neon Wings (a winged demon against a neon watercolor background), and Mask 1 (a pastel watercolor with the outline of a face). They come in 13” and 15” sizes, which is determined by the diagonal diameter of your laptop.

The final category is notebooks. I’ve already gone through three of these 5.5”x8.25” spiral bound dot notebooks from Printful. The pages don’t bleed through with InkJoy or Flair pens. Sharpie is a bit too strong for them, so you won’t be able to use both sides of the page.

The designs are the Growing Eye (the flower with the eyeball inside), Seeing You (our bestie the three-headed alien), and the otherrobert Love emote (gazing up at the stars).

If you use the coupon code SDBACKTOSCHOOL, you get 15% off your order of anything in the shop. This sale runs from today, 29 July, to Thursday, 12 August.

It also applies to the complete Aliens Are Here collection. This features an embroidered line of hats, polo shirts, hoodies, and t-shirts inspired by my mixed media illustration Aliens Are Here (featuring a blue one-eyed alien). You can also pick up your Blooming Eye (flower with eyeball inside) t-shirt or Seeing You (three-headed alien) long sleeve and short sleeve t-shirt, as well.

All apparel in the shop is as size inclusive as I can make it. The t-shirts, long sleeve t’s, and hoodies are all available in sizes S-5XL. The polo shirt is available in sizes S-2XL, but runs quite large. I usually wear a 2XL and fit into an XL with plenty of room to move. All sizes are always the same price because charging people extra for the same product is absurd.

Go back to school being the weird fiction aficionado you deserve to be.
