The Condolence Co. isn’t a year old yet, but taking a look back at 2011 has been pretty crazy! Started sketching up ideas May 21st 2011. I had no idea what I was getting into. First items produced were stickers, while I saved up to print some tees. “Straight to Hell” was the first Tee I had produced. I was so excited for these haha. Stoked to get the support of all my buddies. I spent a lot of time screening mailing bags and making hang tags. then I spent some more time drawing. Shipped a lot of orders to some awesome supporters! I was really excited to get TCC into 5&A Dime. I really love this store, and was pretty much a further goal of mine to get my stuff in there. And it happened a lot sooner than I thought haha. I was really excited to have 5&A Dime be my first collaboration partner And having my company products stocked at 5&A Dime was exciting… and a little terrifying at the same time haha. I was so relieved to hear that every last bit of my product had sold out! And I was officially off consignment. Jay told me it was amazing how well my products were doing, being on the same walls as huge companies. I was very taken back. 2011 has been really great! Picked up a lot of new friends, supporters, and stockists. I can’t wait to get 2012 products going! So thanks for all the support! I can’t begin to tell you how much it all means to me. - Jonathan
