We had a lot of fun and wish you all a:

Yesterday, we started with the synchronizing of commissions to partner accounts. So don´t wonder, if there is a sudden plus in your commissions. Most amounts are quite small, but some are up to 1000€! From now on, sales via this new channel of distribution will also be notified to the corresponding partner by e-mail.

Lyona Alyona is an illustrator and videomaker from Barcelona. She makes videos for a couple of spanish bands and has designed a lot of cool stuff!

These are 2 designs I really like! The cute little monster and the birthday cake.

But now… Let’s meet Lyona herself…

Hi Lyona, I just introduced my favourite T-shirts you designed, but tell me, which are your favourite T-shirt topics?

My fav t-shirt topics are music and movies.

You design shirts, but are you usually wearing T-shirts yourself?

Yes, I use T-shirts almost every day.

On the picture you wear your own design. Do you wear many of your own designs?

Yes, I wear my own designs sometimes, although I feel a little bit embarrassed.

Why embarrassed?

I like them, but if I wear my own designs people recognize me.

Please tell us, which are your 2 favourite T-shirts in your collection?

This one which the main character is a pink monster and the one which has a pun in Spanish:

What do you do when you are not designing T-shirts?

I make music videos for spanish bands such as Love of Lesbian, Lori Meyers, Sidonie, Amaral, The New Reamon…

Did you ever cross someone wearing a T-shirt designed by yourself? Did you say “Hi”?

Yeah I have crossed a lot of people wearing this T-shirt in concerts, and sometimes they regognize me and we say hello to each other.

Coming to Shirtcity, how did you land here?

Some friend recommend Shirtcity to me.

What’s the feature you like the most and what would be your advice to keep improving?

My fav feature is the baby body, I would like to have iphone cases.

What would be your advice for our new designers?

I would tell them to design what they like to wear, and use sentences or images that people could empathize with.

Thanks a lot for your time Lyona. As a reward you get five lines free to promote your shop :

My designs are simples, closers, some of them could transport you to your childhood, other talk about broken hearts, but I’m always looking for making things that people could feel of their own.

That sounds great! So don’t forget to check them out in her shop!
