            <title><![CDATA[I love your DENY Designs products. I&#039;m trying to figure out if licensing is right for me. I want to ask the rudest question: &quot;Do you make good money with them?&quot; but my inner good girl will just ask this: Would you recommend them to partner in licensing?]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[Thanks! I haven&#039;t been working with Deny very long but I&#039;m happy with the results so far. They&#039;re great at what they do and have promotions/partnerships with some big brands. They&#039;re also very professional and seem to really care about the artists. So yes, I would recommend them. However, whether I do well with them isn&#039;t really the question, unless your style is very similar to mine. Some artists on there clearly do way better than others - it depends on your style and marketability (and lots of other things). Licensing is a lot about working to trends and providing what people (the licensees and their customers) are looking for. And also about them being able to market to your audience, so it helps if you have one! If you have more questions I&#039;d be happy to answer them privately - just email me.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[I followed your blog and went shopping in these places esp fabric town last January thanks so much. I found a fabric there I want more of but as I cannot visit Japan again soon is there a way to pick up this brocade fabric?]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[Great, glad it helped you. Finding more of a specific fabric is really difficult as they bring out new designs so often. Do you know the company/designer/fabric name? You could try superbuzzy.com or the many Japanese fabric sellers on Etsy (see trueup.net for suggestions). Also, I think True Up have a forum now - someone might recognise it or be able to suggest something similar. Good luck!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Hi Shelley - lucky you! I hope you have a great time. I don&#039;t think there&#039;s anything I haven&#039;t shared on the site. I would definitely suggest Tomato/Fabric Town for fabric and if you can make it to Kichijoji I hear the Yuzawaya store is amazing.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[About  15/20 years! Now I feel old. Partly inspired by Pokemon/Nintendo and partly by reading zines/comics that were inspired by manga. Bits of my art school projects were quite kawaii but I didn&#039;t start making up my own characters and things until about 4 years ago.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[what to buy in Tokyo and kyoto]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[Well, that depends on what sort of things you like! For souvenirs and gifts places like the market at Asakusa or Oriental Bazaar in Harajuku are good bets. Tokyu Hands and Loft sell a bit of everything from kawaii toys and stationery to gadgets and novelties. If you can ask again and be more specific I can give you better ideas, or just have a look around my Tokyo Shopping Guide.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Do you make your own books or do you buy the plain notepad then stamp and paint your design over the top? Did you order from a book company? How did you get the rights to re-sell a product you didn&#039;t make if that is the case? (via email) (by marcelinesmith)]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[I buy the notepads and stamp/draw/print on them. My favourites are from Muji, but I&#039;ve also used ones from Paperchase and other stationery stores. As far as I&#039;m aware, you don&#039;t need permission to resell plain stationery you&#039;ve added artwork to. Muji sells notebooks in bulk and don&#039;t add any branding of their own. There could be trademark issues if you use a brand name notebook like Moleskines and promote it as such, especially if it could lead people to believe it&#039;s an official licensed collaboration. Hope that helps!]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Hello, I read that there are Ghibli goodies in Ghibli Museum, Character Street, and I saw them in Tokyu Hands too... Do you know if they are cheaper somewhere ? Thanks !]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[You can buy Ghibli products in all the toy shops and lots of other stores too like Sunshine City, Loft, Kiddyland. As for which is cheapest, that&#039;s difficult to say. It depends on the product. I don&#039;t imagine there&#039;s a big difference between stores, though the Ghibli museum is probably the most expensive, but also has some exclusive products. Tokyo is so big though - it&#039;s best to buy things when you see them as you might not be able to go back to that store.]]></description>

Cons: Needs a lot of technical knowledge (or outside help) to make a template really your own.
Any outside help(service or company) you can recommend? I have a designer. Thanks (by danielmhkim)]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[Hi, sorry for not responding to this. Formspring hasn&#039;t been notifying me of new questions! Hopefully you found a good solution.

            <title><![CDATA[Hi Marceline:
How can I get your shopify theme - Prettify. I searched and did not see it among shopify theme store.
Thanks
Winnie]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[Hi Winnie. Prettify has been discontinued. I designed it as a paid job for Shopify a few years ago and they upgraded it to work with new features (sometimes in ways I wasn&#039;t entirely happy with) but eventually Shopify added so many awesome new features that Prettify wasn&#039;t worth upgrading any more. I wouldn&#039;t recommend using it, but if you want the files email me and I&#039;ll send them over. I am supposedly working on a new theme but I&#039;m so busy I can&#039;t promise it any time soon.]]></description>
