International Shipments
NB: ***All International orders are currently shipped via United States Postal Service due to increasingly high shipping rates with FedEx, UPS and other global carriers***
The good news is that we have also introduced a single flat rate, regardless of how many pieces you buy, you will only pay the shipping once. The bad news is that the USPS service is a little slower and less attentive on the delivery side as the parcel will come with your local mail delivery.
All of the artwork is shipped insured at no cost to you, so we will replace anything that is damaged or lost.
If you want to ship faster (three days or less) using our FedEx International Priority service please just place a note in the comments section of your order or email us at art@gapingvoid.com and we will contact you with a quote for your shipment.
International shipping has become very expensive, and some people think that it is a profit center for us. We guarantee you that it is not!

GREAT IDEAS
1. Ignore Everybody.
The more original your idea is, the less good advice other people will be able to give you. When I first started with the cartoon-on-back-of-bizcard format, people thought I was nuts. Why wasn’t I trying to do something more easy for markets to digest i.e. cutey-pie greeting cards or whatever?
You don’t know if your idea is any good the moment it’s created. Neither does anyone else. The most you can hope for is a strong gut feeling that it is. And trusting your feelings is not as easy as the optimists say it is. There’s a reason why feelings scare us.
And asking close friends never works quite as well as you hope, either. It’s not that they deliberately want to be unhelpful. It’s just they don’t know your world one millionth as well as you know your world, no matter how hard they try, no matter how hard you try to explain.
Plus a big idea will change you. Your friends may love you, but they don’t want you to change. If you change, then their dynamic with you also changes. They like things the way they are, that’s how they love you- the way you are, not the way you may become.
Ergo, they have no incentive to see you change. And they will be resistant to anything that catalyzes it. That’s human nature. And you would do the same, if the shoe was on the other foot.
With business colleagues it’s even worse. They’re used to dealing with you in a certain way. They’re used to having a certain level of control over the relationship. And they want whatever makes them more prosperous. Sure, they might prefer it if you prosper as well, but that’s not their top priority.
If your idea is so good that it changes your dynamic enough to where you need them less, or God forbid, THE MARKET needs them less, then they’re going to resist your idea every chance they can.
Again, that’s human nature.
GOOD IDEAS ALTER THE POWER BALANCE IN RELATIONSHIPS, THAT IS WHY GOOD IDEAS ARE ALWAYS INITIALLY RESISTED.
Good ideas come with a heavy burden. Which is why so few people have them. So few people can handle it.
