Important info: as it's been a long time and I've had some big changes in my life, along with no-one contacting this blog on anything, I have lost access to the redbubble account. I wanted to take down most designs and leave a few basic ones on with 0% margin, but it looks like I cannot find the necessary info to log back in.

All I can do right now is warn people that the shop can't be updated, I cannot help if a problem arises, and any earnings (small as they may be) will stay in the paypal account with me not having any way of retrieving them to pass them on to charities.

I'm sorry for making a mess, but right now all I can do is come clean and try and make sure no-one will give more money that won't go anywhere. If I ever manage to gain access back, I will certainly let you all know so you can choose any charity you want for the earnings to go to. At least, the last time I checked, there were no money left in the paypal account as they were all given to our last charity event.

Again, I'm sorry. For now please refrain buying anything from redbubble.

Good news!

I had to do a little more digging, after all, and I got access to the email and the redbubble account! I left only some basic designs in and set the price margin to 0%, so there won't be any earnings going to the paypal account. I'm having a bit of trouble getting back into the paypal account, but from a few messages in the email inbox connected to it, it's probably about one euro in it from some sales made in the meantime. When I get access back I'll look for some charities and let you decide if you want to choose one. It's not a lot, but it won't do for that money to stay in the account.

An announcement.

As I'm changing courses and fandoms in my life, my focus and interest on running this blog and the O'Donocrew shop has dwindled.

I can keep the shop up for any fan who wishes to buy merch, and donate the earnings to charities - or put a 0% margin on the products so the shop doesn't get any earnings. The earnings last year were very little to begin with (the grand majority of the donation money came from @pirateherokillian's anchor sales), and 0% margin means cheaper merch for the fans.

With all that in mind, I cannot invest time in a fundraiser this year or enrich the shop with new designs and products. As things are now, I am willing to let the blog and the shop run low, cause I'd hate to close them off completely. However, if someone is interested in taking over this blog and the shop, you can contact me on my main blog @piracytheorist and I can guide you through the process.

Happy holidays to y'all.

Just donated the earnings from the Redbubble shop to GOSH! It took a while because of some personal issues, but they’ve finally been sent.

Thank you to everyone for your help and contributions!

The earnings from the O’DonoCrew Redbubble shop haven’t been paid yet, so I just donated to GOSH what has already been collected. I will donate the rest as soon as they’re paid.

Once again, thank you everyone for your contributions, especially @julieenchanted-swans, @pirateherokillian and @cocohook38 (whom tumblr won’t let me tag, for some reason)!

Final amount collected for Great Ormond Street hospital in honour of Colin’s birthday is at 500 GBP!

Thank you everyone, and especially @julieenchanted-swans and @pirateherokillian for their contributions, and @cocohook38 (whom once again I cannot tag for some reason) for providing multiple new art designs for merch!

The earnings from the Redbubble shop haven’t been paid yet (those are included in the amount above). I’ll wait a few days, and if they haven’t been paid, I’ll donate what’s already been collected, then donate the shop earnings once they’ve been paid.

Four new sticker designs, created by @cocohook38, have been added to the O’DonoCrew shop! All profits will be donated to Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Shop will stay open until Jan 27th 00:00 GMT, so don’t miss out!

On January 26th, in celebration of Colin’s birthday, I will be doing a 12 hour stream of Sea of Thieves from 10 AM to 10 PM on my Twitch channel! All proceeds raised during the stream will be added to @odonocrewfundraising‘s total being raised for the Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (aka the children’s hospital that J.M. Barrie gave the rights of Peter Pan to). 

I haven’t settled specifically on all incentives to have during the stream, but there will definitely be some! So I hope you have the moment to pop in on the 26th and, even if you can’t donate, help spread the word about the stream! Let’s raise some money for charity in celebration of Colin’s birthday!!

New design for stickers on the O’DonoCrew shop!

We’re live!

We’ve opened up the O’DonoCrew shop for a fundraiser in honour of Colin’s birthday on the 26th!

With classic designs and a brand new design by @cocohook38, Redbubble now offers new products such as baseball hats, mousepads and desk mats!

100% of the profits will go to Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Some SneakPeek for what I’m working on for 2022Colin BDay Charity @odonocrewfundraising​

So if you’re interested, send a message my way! And lets help raise money for charity in support of Colin’s birthday!!

Calling All Artists!

It’s that time of the year again! We’ll soon re-upon our Redbubble shop, celebrating Colin’s birthday by raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital.

For this, we welcome works from fans of Colin O’Donoghue, to enrich the store with brand new desings!

What are we looking for?

Product designs themed around Colin and/or any of his characters that are suitable for a range of products in Redbubble (shirts, notebooks, mugs etc.).

How big do designs need to be?

You can find Redbubble’s guide to size requirements for different products here. We’d recommend using the file format .png and making sure that your design has a transparent background so it can be easily put onto different coloured items.

Can more than one design be created?

Yes, we’ll accept as many designs that you create as long as they’re in line with our guidelines!

What are the guidelines?

Your design must not contain: nudity, strong language or copyrighted images/logos.

Will artists be credited?

Yes. You will be listed as the designer on the product page itself as well as any social media posts showcasing your design.

What percentage of profits goes to the charity?

100% of profits are donated to charity. Redbubble takes a large percentage from each sale for product manufacturing costs, but the remaining profit is donated in its entirety.

Can I take part without making a Redbubble design?

Of course, just let us know what you’d like to do to raise money and we’ll include it in the project!

How do I submit a design?

I, aka @piracytheorist​ (previously known as lillpon), the current admin of this account, have currently lost access to the official O’Donocrew emails. Until I can get said access back, I’ll have to use a personal email. Contact me privately (either through this account or on piracytheorist) so that I can give you the email to send your designs to.

We look forward to seeing your designs!
