New Merchandise

May 20, 2022/in Frontpage Article, Images, News /by admin

With Spring here I can finally release the new Spring/Summer merchandise line up. From unisex t-shirts to flip flops and phone cases. I pretty much have something for everyone, including kids (which I hope to expand soon). The more I sell, the more the site releases for me to make NEW items.

I’ve teamed up with an online company called Spring, formally known as TeeSpring. Recently they’ve updated the quality of all of their merchandise. Not that it was bad before, but when you get the items you purchased, you can feel the softness of the shirts and see the vibrancy of the art. The process they use is called DTG (Direct To Garment) where the ink sets right into the shirt vs hanging around on top like silk screening. DTG will never crack or peel and hardly fade (unless you keep it in the sun for months).

Because I don’t have a lot of room to store all the merchandise, they offer “print on demand”. Meaning, when you order something from the site, they’ll create the product and ship it directly to you, anywhere in the world. It’s as easy as that. If you needed to return the item or exchange it, that’s also extremely simple as well. Me and Spring want to make sure you are happy with your purchase.

Something they just added to their site is Afterpay. This is a great feature to have added. With Afterpay (if you choose it), you can buy what you want now and pay over time with making one payment at the time of checkout. I’ve used Afterpay with other site and it’s wonderful, easy and convenient. Of course, you can pay traditionally all at one when checking out too. Either way, you’re going to get some great stuff.

So if you haven’t already, please check out my store at: www.shopbalkestudios.com. I just added a few new designs and items such as flip flops going up to size 14.5 (for men) and going up to size 5Xl in some items like our unisex t-shirts. So go ahead, check it out and get your official Jeff Balke Studios merchandise sold exclusively online at shopbalkestudios.com.

And let me know what you think.

Coloring with Jeff NEW Season

February 11, 2022/in Frontpage Article, Images, News /by admin

Starting February 1st, I’m very happy to announce that a NEW season of Coloring with Jeff will be back LIVE! It’s been a little while since the last season, but I’m back and I have a whole NEW line of Original Hand Colorings to color up for you including some fan favorites.

The first episode will air on Tuesday February 1st at 3pm (central) on the studio’s YouTube and Facebook pages. And, thanks to our friends at Hanging With the WebShow TV, I’ll be live on their network too hoping to reach a broader audience.

Each episode is live, so you can ask me questions and get them answered in real time. Now I know not everyone can make it at 3pm to watch live, but all episodes are recoded and will stay on our YouTube and Facebook pages for you to view at your convenience. So don’t worry, I have you covered.

If you haven’t already, please subscribe to our YouTube channel at: www.youtube.com/jeffbalkestudios

I’m looking foreword to seeing you on a Tuesday.

2022 Conventions

January 29, 2022/in Frontpage Article, Images, News /by admin

2022 is here and it’s time to THINK BIG and MOVE FORWARD! For the longest time I’ve been holding myself back and keeping almost the same kind of set ups I’ve had at conventions since I first started attending them professionally. All that is going to change. This year I’m focused on setting up something different than I every have before. Something that will give you more of an experience. At the Mighty Con shows this year, I’m setting up in a whole new way. Yes I’ll have artwork there from our NEW ARToons to Original Hand Colorings, but I’ll also have something you’ll be able to walk into and not just stand on the other side of the table (as long as I can get the space for it…haha).

My first show of 2022 isn’t until March 6, so I have a little time to get everything figured out. And it also happens to be the Madison Mighty Con Comic Con where I’ll be debuting the new set up. However, not every show this year will have the new set up. Mainly that’s because of space and finances in some cases. But this year I want to give you guys something completely different where you’ll be able to get to know the character much more and be able to take you pictures with them and share on social media.

On the events page here on the website, I’ve started releasing some of the events/conventions we’re for sure doing this year. Right now there’s only four posted, but don’t worry, I’m waiting to hear back from a few, so more will be going up shortly. I do invite you to keep checking back at the events page for updates and here on this blog for more info on what’s to come.

I’m really looking forward to getting out there and seeing you all again. It’s been TOO long and I really can’t wait to show you guys my little guys. Stanley and Friends.
