THREAD’S NOT DEAD • Jeff Finley Dedicated to Emptees.com (2007-2011) On March 1st, 2011 Emptees.com closed its doors. The Emptees website had been instrumental in building a thriving t-shirt design community. It had been a major source of inspiration for this book and it is sad to see the site shut down. This book includes many references to Emptees and even links which may have been broken as a result of the closing. Fortunately, the community has come together to create a replace- ment that promises to archive and salvage all the content and be better than ever. This website is called Mintees.com. Every attempt has been made to relink and fix any errors that may have occured. If you discover an error, please let us know so we can fix it. Thank you Emptees, Jeff Finley 3
