This page tracks the concrete steps being taken to achieve the mission and reach the vision. Check back for updates.
Short Term
Lessons from History: God and Religion
First subsection of the History series. Designs in progress: 10000 Deities (content complete, Released), The Gallery of Gods, The Divine Spiral, The Pantheonic Table. Research underway.
A Bit of Fun: Word Fun
First subsection of the Fun series. Design in progress: Ejaculation. Additional designs to follow.
T-Shirt Printing Partnerships
Setting up print-on-demand so visitors can order printed shirts directly. Approaching: Printful (free plan), Redbubble, TeePublic. Minimal markup — the printing partnership exists for convenience, not profit. Designs will be available in three formats: full design with QR code, design with gquixote.xyz link, and design with no recognition.
Instagram Growth
Building the Instagram following. New designs, work-in-progress, and behind-the-scenes research notes posted here first. Social media is the shop window. This site is the workshop.
Print Guide
Live. A beginner-friendly guide to printing GQuixote designs at home. Adapted from external sources — a personally tested version will follow when time allows.
Medium Term
Lessons from History: Patriarchy & Matriarchy
Second subsection of the History series. Research and design to follow the God and Religion launch.
Fill in the Blanks
Expansion of the A Bit of Fun series. Lighter designs that still make you think.
Neurodivergent Pride Line
Paid shirts with prominent display of Neurodivergent, Autistic, ADHD, and similar. Designs that say it clearly and without apology. Launching after the free design library is established. Profits support the mission, not the other way around.
Marketplace Expansion
Expand to Etsy and other marketplaces via Shopify sync. One product catalogue, multiple channels, all orders routed to the print-on-demand provider automatically. Reaching audiences where they already browse.
Instagram Shopping
Set up product tags via Shopify’s Meta Commerce Manager integration. Visitors can buy directly from Instagram posts and reels. The mission reaches people where they already are.
Financial Sustainability
The point at which GQuixote covers its costs and mine. Not wealth — sustainability. When this is achieved, the focus shifts entirely to the mission and the community.
Long Term
Community Stewardship
Open the brand up to a wider, wiser audience. Move from solo venture to community-involved decision-making. The mission stays the same; the stewardship expands. Decide together where to take GQuixote next.
Community Features on the Website
Spaces on the site for engaged followers to participate — discussions, design suggestions, research contributions. The website becomes not just a workshop but a gathering place.
In-House Printing (if volume justifies)
If demand grows enough, invest in printing equipment to cut costs further and pass the savings to the buyer. The 10% margin ceiling stays, but the base cost drops.
Beyond T-Shirts
If the message resonates and the community supports it, explore other formats — books, posters, stickers, talks. Whatever carries the message furthest.
