Ampersand t-shirt design
« on: November 07, 2008, 11:43:48 PM »

I'm designing myself an Ampersand t-shirt, and I thought I'd share.




I'll probably remove the daisy (for myself), but I'll keep it there for a friend of mine who I plan on printing a shirt for too.

Is it t-shirt worthy? Anything I should add/remove to make it more appealing?

edit: Shiiiiit, this was meant to be in the 'Art & Photos' section >_<

Wow, thanks Len!

I was actually thinking of selling it on my RedBubble account, but if PWT takes it I'll be glad :)

Thanks people!

*Lillifee* and Lily - Beth has asked me about getting the shirts up on Post War Trade, so if all goes well you should be able to purchase them from there in due time :)

i really like this.

i think this concept could also be extended, a bit, to other songs; does each song have a single line, such as that, which could make a good t-shirt? aside form the ampersand one, there are a few others that come to mind (but you are my love the astronaut, i say it runs in the family, tick tick tick tick tick, you're my guitar hero, i have to drive, but you've got the needle..., i think i'll wait another year, HEY BITCH, etc)  although I'm not sure how well they would translate into visual art.

Awesome design!
How will you be putting this on an actual shirt? Screen printing?
I've been messing around with t-shirt designs myself, but getting them onto a shirt is always a bit of a problem.

That's just SO cool!  :D

If you can, please make the indication of size a little bit realistic... (I'm a size M usually and my DD-Shirts in L are really.... small)  ;)
