One Year!

Well it's official! Imagosolo has been in business for one year. It's been quite a year! The farthest we went was just north of Chicago. We have sent shirts as far as Washington State. Considering how the economy is I am happy with how well Imagosolo has done.

One thing that is hard to separate as I write things about Imagosolo is the division between me and Imagosolo. Do I speak for myself as Imagosolo or as a separate identity? All this is new to me.

One thing that I am excited about is T-shirt Faith day! Weather a person wears an Imagosolo shirt or not is not that important. What is is the idea that there is a day being observer to wear a shirt that shares your Christian faith. I do have a group on Facebook about it. Here is the link if you are interested in see it. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=118422346818

At the end of the month me and Imagosolo will be in Cincinnati for the Youth Specialties convention. I am real excited about what this could mean for Imagosolo. I would love for this convention to be a turning point for this ministry and business.

Imagosolo now has eight designs. I cannot believe there are eight. One of the newest ones is Pinifix. It has been around Mars Hill Bible Church for many years. I was able to acquire it from Alan Close at http://www.apocdesign.com/ May people have asked to use this design for tattooing purposes and the general public loves this design. Many thanks to apocdesign and Alan!

Keep praying for Imagosolo as it goes into it's second year.
Thanks.

T-shirt faith day update

T-shirt faith day has been building up some steam! People I have talked with about it seem to think it's a great idea. I have sold many shirts to students and to teachers of public schools.
I've been busy getting my next image ready for print which should be some time in the next two weeks! Keep an eye out for it.

T-shirt faith day and first press release

I officially stated the t-shirt faith day initiative on Tuesday. I went to the Farmers market today on Plainfield and five mile rd in Grand Rapids like usual and started selling shirts to students at $10. Last week at the market I sold 2 shirts. Not what you would call a good day. Today I sold 14 shirts and 75% of those were to Students of public schools. Or to the parents of students of Public schools.

A couple of weeks ago I went to a class on how to make a press release. So, on my computer in my basement I took the template and put together a press release. Then I took the e-mail list that was given to me and sent if off to the press and some other people. Not sure what to think. I don't even know if it's in the correct format. I followed the template. I've copied here for you. Would love to know what you think for all of you that follow this blog.

Not sure what God has in mind for Imagosolo. But I'm here and I'm hangin on!
Here's the press release!
Enjoy!

FIRST WEDNESDAYS OF THE MONTH IS T-SHIRT FAITH DAY

AT YOUR PUBLIC SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITIES!

SPONSORED BY IMAGOSOLO!

A local artist inspired to share his faith one shirt at a time!

Grand Rapids Michigan—August 14-- Imagosolo is launching an initiative to make the first Wednesday of each month t-shirt faith day at your local public schools and Universities. On August 20^th at the Plainfield Farmers market on the corner of 5 mile and Plainfield from 2pm-7pm, the 22^nd of August at the Arts & Crafts by the Lake, in Goodrich Park Annex in White lake from 10am-5pm, and the 29^th of August at Frontline Community Church at 4411 Plainfield NE Grand Rapids, for the Rockin from the roof concert, from 1pm-5pm and online at www.imagosolo.com.

Imagosolo is a start up ministry inspired to get people talking about their faith. One unique aspect to these shirts is that there are no words on the shirts. The idea is the catchy image sparks a conversation from the person viewing the shirt. What a great concept!

What makes this initiative so cool are two aspects. One, it takes it right to the public school. Conversations are initiated not from the wearer but from the viewer. And two, Imagosolo is offering it's shirts for $10 at these events and online to students going to a Public School or University this fall. This is a great deal from an original design and you support a local artist!

All these venues are held in Michigan and they all give ample time to support the t-shirt faith day and the local economy!

Photos are available upon request!

Muskegon Summer Celebration!

Holy blessings, Batman!
This weekend was a total blessings! Imagosolo had over $1000.00 in sales. I still can't believe it! This coming week will be busy for Imagosolo. Now we have to restock our inventory. Which is not a bad thing! I don't think I really understood what this idea could do. I think I under estimated the uniqueness of Imagosolo. It's definatly a nitch market. During the event this weeked I really could tell who liked it and who didn't.

Also, this week. Imagosolo will be at Jude 3 in Holland. We will have a few designs there. So if you don't know where Jude 3 is, its in Holland in the Walmart plaza.

Imagosolo has picked up some steam! If you have been praying for us Thanks!

Remember,
Bible stories on shirts,
Wear a shirt tell a story!

Imagosolo's first video!

Check out my first video!

Imagosolo, Bible Stories on Shirts. We now have our 7th design.
This piece is titled, "Pinifix." Styled after the pinstripe art of the Hot Rod movement, this art is all about the Holy Trinity. Three lines repeat throughout, with an ichthus at the base to represent Christ, a crown shape at the top to symbolize the Father and a flame for the Holy Spirit. All of these elements surround the shape of the cross; a tool of torture and death that was used to redeem us all.

Pinifix is now available on our web-site. Along with all the buttons. That's right buttons! If any of you have come to one of my shows you will have seen that I sell button, or pins, as they have been called. So, now not only do we have Bible stories on Shirts we have Bible stories on buttons.

Our next big show is going to be at the Muskegon Summer Celebration. That show will be held over the fourth of July weekend. We'll be there all weekend so come out and look for us.

That is all for now. Thanks for following us!
Blessing.
Brent

June

Well June is here and it seems more busy that ever. Summer has brought some un-foreseen changes. Yet I remain optimistic about my future and the future of Imagosolo. I have two new designs ready to go and am looking forward to printing one of them next week. Just in time for the Muskegon Summer Celebration happening over the 4th of July weekend.

The ministry is going well as I have heard from some friends that Imagosolo's shirts have been seen by family memebers! Thats pretty exciting.

I'm looking into doing some concerts in the area and some more craftshows. I'm hoping also to get into Jude 3 if possible and maybe Baker Book house and Kreagles. But that is going to take some prayer.

If anybody knows of any place I could set up a table or booth to get Imagosolo out there I sure could use the help.

Thanks for taking the time to visit this blog and your interest in Imagosolo!

Blessings!
Brent

Last weekend Imagosolo was at Mason, MI. We had the best show to date. We sold over 14 shirts in on day. It was an amazing day for us! Imagosolo now has 6 designs and is working on two more. One is Jonah and the whale. The other is a design from a friend here in Grand Rapids. Depending on how sales go this spring will determine when and if the new designs will come out. Again, Imagosolo is always looking for investors in this kingdom work.

On May 8th and 9th. Imagosolo will be at Uncle John Cider Mill fair. If you are in the area please stop by!

The train is going up hill.

Have you ever started something and at times it feels like things are going smooth? And if they are going down hill it may sound bad but it really means things are going well. What about going up hill? Everybody thinks that when you're going up hill it's tough.

So, it is with Imagosolo at this time. Sales are hard to come by at this time. I have been very aggressive with some marketing on Facebook and have joined another social group called Shoutlife. Facebook has been a good outlet but it's been hard to get the idea out there.

This is a business. But it is first and foremost a tool. A simple way to get conversations started. But most of all I want it to be what God wants it to be. If this idea goes anywhere it will be because God has moved it. I'll do the best I can with the skills God has given me but it's really about Him.

So, I cast this blog as the Lord casts the net. I cast this business and ministry as his. Let him do with it as he sees fit.

Getting ready for Spring!

Well, Spring is in the air and I'm ready for it! The warm weather we had last week has made me excited to get my motorcycle on the road!

Things are going ok for Imagosolo. I have signed up for at least 5 shows and have two confirmed. Below is a post from www.imagosolo.com under the events page. I'll try to keep it updated as I do this blog.

It's amaging how busy life gets. I'm still going to Mars Hill Bible Church. 10 years and I'm still there! It's been thought a lot of changes but God is in the business of changing so I'm at a good place.

So, keep it real and close to the Father.

I'm still looking for investers in Imagosolo. If you are interested in that please let me know.

Blessing,

Brent

We at Imgosolo are getting ready for a busy Spring. At this time the only confirmed show are as follows:

Alger Heights Middle for their Spring Show. This will be on March 28.

Algoma Christian Spring/Easter Craft Fair. This will be on April 11th. To be held at Algoma Christian School 14471 Sparta Ave, Kent City, MI 49330.

Return from Antioch

Well, it's been a week since I have returned from the show at Antioch. The title sounds like a movie! RETURN FROM ANTIOCH! Starring Brent Taylor and ......... well you get the point! I'd love to say that Antioch was a HUGE success but it wasn't :-( I sold some shirts and gained some experience on doing another show. But I'm trying to remain positive knowing this was only my second show.

Now I am vamping up for April and May. As of right now I'm planning on going to 6 more shows. On March 14 I'm hoping to be at a show at Sunshine Church on the E. Beltline. Then starting on the last weekend of March and ending on the first weekend of May, that being 6 weeks, I'll be in 5 shows out of six weekends. This should give me a good idea of what to expect of the general public concerning Imagosolo.

So, those are my recent thoughts concerning the ministry! Please keep me in your prayers and Imagosolo that we might help Christ be proclaimed throught the world!

getting ready for Antioch

So, it's Tuesday. Four days from my second art's and craft show. Margaret and I are planning on leaving on Friday in the evening. I'm hoping for a good turn out. I have printed my next design which you can now purchase on line at www.imagosolo.com. So please visit my site if you haven't already and tell me what you think. It's called Loaves and Fishes.

Also, I'm looking for people who would like to invest in Imagosolo. If you or someone you know is interested in helping out please let me know.
