Ola guys and girls…
Ok…Springleap has been up and running since mid March and there has been a whole lot going on.

One of the biggest and more interesting points for me has been the differing opinions from all the users out there. From the obvious debates on t-shirt design to the ridiculous “bust ups “between certain users who have taken serious offence to some of the comments thrown their way.
There have been times when comments have been over the top and pretty degrading to the artist which is totally unnecessary. The unspoken rule is if you have something critical to say about the artists design, substantiate it in some way. The majority of the artists out there have put hours into their designs and having someone say that their work isn’t appealing or that it is rubbish without giving some kind of reason is useless. So, basically try and give feedback that will help the artist. It doesn’t always have to be positive but remember that these cats have feelings too!

I have been blown away by the standard of illustration out there. Each month brings with it something new and improved. From Quacks Iscreamonster to Darkos Rocketurtle, the nature of design has changed every month. From my side, I would like to see brighter colours being used by the artists. As we are going into summer, bright colours are always part of the season…so let’s see some shock pink and electro green on some of the t-shirts in the coming months!

There is so much more in the pipeline for Springleap in the coming months…keep voting, keep commenting and most importantly keep submitting those kick ass designs!
