It was only a matter of time.

Hi, gang .... I continue to write, sketch, work Home Depot, and try to get those "mythical" arcade games out to a waiting public. But I have now launched an actual e-commerce Web site called "Apron Art by Tom" to do aprons for Home Depot associates. I do the decals, actually, not whole aprons. I mail completed decals to the purchasers and they iron them on their own aprons. The tipping point toward e-commerce came when my district peeps asked me to do 58 aprons for a big walk event. THAT'S A LOT, in case you didn't guess. I figured I must be onto something. So far I am heavy in California, but have a toe into Oklahoma through a former associate from my store. Arkansas is also in the works; same kind of connection. It will grow slowly, but with 365,000 total employees and scads of events each store hosts, well ... I like my chances. I am very liberal with disclaimers about not being affiliated with Home Depot and have doctored many images to minimize the implications(s), so we'll see what happens. I also donate to H.D.'s charity, the Homer Fund, which might mitigate things. So far I am getting orders through the site from local associates. I'll keep y'all posted.
