My Little Capitalist Endeavour...
The Opening of the Official 'The Farmer and the Fald' Merch Store.
Merch.
Everyone loves merch.
Itβs all about the merch.
Cut me, and I bleed merch.
But yes, today I am unveiling a few little bits and bobs I have uploaded to my new shop, designed by moi, J.R. Leach, the author behind "The Farmer and the Fald."
It's my brand-new online shop, and while I won't claim to be a fashion guru, I've given it my best shot.
Inside, you'll find an assortment of five hoodies with a Major Arcana theme, with illustrations adapted from my book.
π The Fool - Dare to Dream: Embark on a journey of limitless possibilities, just like The Fool'sβand Farmer Bundonβsβfearless leap into the unknown. With our cosy hoodie, you're ready to take on any adventure.
π The World - Embrace Fulfilment: Find harmony and completion in the embrace of The World card's promiseβmuch like the harmony found when Tyr and Alaria dance together.
β«οΈ Death - Embrace Transformation: Dive into the depths of transformation and rebirth, mirroring the profound symbolism of the Death cardβlike Farmer Bundonβs transformation when faced with his doom. This hoodie, in deep, mysterious black, captures the essence of change.
π The Hanged Man - Surrender to Serenity: Discover serenity in surrender as you embrace The Hanged Man's unique perspective on life; change is loomingβas it was for poor Sir Willem. Our hoodie, rendered in calming shades of grey, is your ticket to relaxation.
π΄ The Devil - Temptation Awaits: Succumb to temptation with fiery red hues, mirroring the allure and seduction embodied by The Devil cardβwith all the charm of the devilish Lady DeGrissier. This hoodie exudes a bold and seductive charm.
π§₯ Unparalleled Comfort and Style: Crafted from a blend of 50% pre-shrunk cotton and 50% polyester, our hoodies offer the perfect balance of softness and durability. The 8.0 oz/ydΒ² (271.25 g/mΒ²) fabric weight ensures cosiness without the bulk.
β¨ Thoughtful Design Details: Featuring air-jet spun yarn for a soft feel and reduced pilling, a double-lined hood with a matching drawcord, and a front pouch pocket for added convenience, our hoodie combines fashion-forward design with practicality.
π Perfect Fit and Finish: The quarter-turned body ensures a crease-free look, and the 1 Γ 1 athletic rib-knit cuffs and waistband with spandex guarantee a snug yet flexible fit. The double-needle stitched collar, shoulders, armholes, cuffs, and hem ensure long-lasting quality.
π Ethical Sourcing: We take pride in sourcing our blank product responsibly from Bangladesh, Nicaragua, Honduras, or El Salvador. By wearing this hoodie, you support ethical and fair practices in the fashion industry.

**If I sounded a little more upbeat in that section, itβs because I used ChatGPT to write the product descriptions for me. Scandalous, I knowβand I have the gall to call myself an author. I attempted to write my own, as the above examples sounded a littleβwhat to call itβmanic? But I couldnβt find quite the right toneβIβve always found copy harder than prose.
Anyways.
As well as the five hoodies, there are also a few T-shirt designs and a very handsome tote bagβ¦ and thatβs that for the momentβit's a work in progress, like me and this whole entrepreneurialness thing. If there are any other items you can think of, do let me know!
I will eventually get around to setting up some prints of my art pieces, but currently, my prints are only available to my three very loyal patrons.
Thanks for dropping by and bearing with my creative attempts. Let's see where this journey takes us!

Hi. I'd love a t-shirt with the design of the seasons from the book. Such a beautiful illustration. π Caralyn
