hello hello and hello!

you’ve probably noticed things have been more than a little slow around here lately, and it seems to have been years since our last release. we’ve received several e-mails wondering when we’ll be releasing new designs, or even restocking the ones we have now. thanks for being so patient! it probably isn’t noticeable from the outside, but Linty Fresh has been going through some big changes internally. among many other things, Linty Fresh now has a new home. it got a little crazy around here during the tear-down, relocation, unpacking, and reorganizing of our entire inventory, [so if anyone's order seemed to take longer than it should have to get shipped, or wrote an e-mail that took a while to receive a reply, we apologize! it won't ever happen again. . .hopefully.]

but now that the dust is finally starting to settle, it can be said that we have two—you read that right: TWO—new designs being released sometime in September. one by yours truly, eric terry, and one by me, shea trenbeath. [you were wondering why you kept reading 'we' didn't you? admit it, you were.] since this is my first release under the Linty Fresh banner, i’m a little nervous about its reception. my design style is. . .a lot different from what goes on around here. i’ll try to start off a little more consistent with what’s been done in the past, and we’ll see how it goes from there.

for those that don’t know me, I’m shea trenbeath [if you didn't catch that earlier] I’ve known eric for quite some time, and always have been impressed at his design skills. i myself started dabbling in graphic arts over ten years ago when I was in high school. after graduating from kennesaw state university with a BFA in fine arts with a concentration in graphic design, i worked for the university’s college of the arts for a few years in their PR department. my art director, joshua stone [who's a stellar designer, by the way] and i made up the entire design staff, creating over a hundred pieces of work for all four departments in the college of the arts every semester. so my forte is print/advertising, but i also love illustration. and as much as I hated leaving ksu, i had, and still have, a wife to support and bills to pay, so i found a position teaching graphic arts & communications at a local high school. and this is where i am now, along with keeping things running as smoothly as possible here while eric is building Linty Fresh v2.0 : The China Edition.

in the mean time, you can start checking back here a lot more often, as things will start picking up. and tell your friends!
