Interest in T-Shirts?

[andyroo]

Hi all,

I have a very keen interest in drawing, especially graphical stuff, and I wanted to make something of it.

What I need is some opinions, do I have something worth taking forward, or should I stick to my day job?

I have a series of design examples, involving cars, planes, people, and my favorite things to draw, robots. These are just examples of the style that I enjoy and I can do pretty much anything if its wanted. Please let me know your feedback, and let me know if its worth pursuing! (Mods: if this counts as advertising in anyway, I am willing to readdress the situation in a manner that complies with your rules.)

Thanks for looking.

Andy

The snake and human ones are very very good.

Love the Harrier - would order it tomorrow if it was available.

993 in orange on a "Gulf Oil" light blue t-shirt when you get in production please

post some designs on threadless or any of the other countless T sites and see if any get picked up?

[Jasandjules]

If you can scan those in and then get them printed on T-Shirts, then what about getting a rough and ready Website set up and see how you get on?!?!

Top 3 designs, on a white teeshirt, nicely priced i would buy all 3 :P

The human one is really cool!
Set yourself up a shop on Ebay, costs best part of nothing!
Place just a couple of items with very low start prices in the auction section to grab attention, you will find people will then look at your shop!

I used to do this on a regular basis with Collectable Diecast ie Corgi/Dinky, and books, made between £500-£1000 per month, just started again!!

I like the human. That's pretty cool. If I was going to get one of those designs on a t-shirt though it would be the Harrier

[Cheeky Jim]

All very good drawings... being a completely hamfisted fool when it comes to drawing, I admire anyone who can draw well!!

You might want to take a look at the print market and Music CD covers.

Wow! Thanks for the very positive response! I am setting up shop on cafepress.com for the moment to see how I get on, will be looking into the other suggestions too. If anyone does have a special request, send me a pm and I'll see what I can do. Porsche 993 first on the list I think...

(Again, mods, please let me know if I am infringing any rules here, I will gladly pay my dues if required)

Thanks guys, reading your responses has been very encouraging.

Good luck with the endeavour.

Please PM me or post on this thread when something is available.

Maybe talk to bosses at PH and do some T-shirt designs for here. I'd like a PH T-shirt, but can't find any I like. Maybe a black one with the PH logo penciled in yellow? Just an idea

Got a few designs up on cafepress.com. The shop is v12tees. Thanks for everybody's input.

[andyroo]

993 has been added to cafepress.com/v12tees for the benefit of Mr Dead Meat UK

great designs, i would try amazon marketplace as an alternative to ebay. works well for me.good luck in what ever you decide to do. do you do any fetish designs?

[Cheeky Jim]

Have you thought about Tattoo Flash as well?

Someone somewhere will always pay for an original design to be stencilled permanently on their arm!

Robots etc go down quite well on the mechanised tatts..

Not sure where you start? I think tattoojohnny.com might be a good place to start.
