Ziraxia.com is a T-shirt website that licenses designs from its members,
sells the T-shirts, fulfills orders, and pays royalties to the
designers.
Tampa, Florida 04/04/2008 - Ziraxia, a Tampa, Florida based T-shirt e-tailer, has a new equation
for T-shirt enthusiasts and science fiction fans alike. From Ziraxian aliens peeking above the page
headers, to an emerging story about them frolicking on their space station, Ziraxia is geared for
artists and those who love them. Their motto, “Sell your designs, without selling out!”
Ziraxia T-shirts often feature skewed ideas born from indie artists and aspiring writers. The
designs are voted on by the members, and the ones proving to be popular reach “lift off” and go
for sale. It’s a community where collectors and enthusiasts find designs from web comic artists,
writers, and independent designers.
Some are inspired by movies like DAWN OF THE DEAD, or popular science fiction writers like
Caitlín R. Kiernan. Others still, are designed by webcomic artists like Devil’s Panties creator
Jennie Breeden, and poets like National Endowment for the Arts fellowship winner David Shapiro.
It all takes place in a fictional setting where M.I.B. meets Star Trek.
Ziraxia has a unique appeal to the artists who bring the designs. Where many electronic catalog
sites purchase designs from artists, Ziraxia licenses them. The advantage to the artist is a non-
exclusive deal where creators keep their full copyrights to their designs and characters. It’s a
situation much more amenable to designers who are using T-shirts as a tie-in to their other
creative efforts.
“We get enormous positive response from artists,” says Gary Jurman, president of Ziraxia. “They
can offer their T-shirts in other venues where they want to promote themselves.”
To see Ziraxian designs, purchase T-shirts from your favorite artists, or submit designs of your
own, go to Ziraxia at http://www.ziraxia.com.
