Hey, don't get discouraged, at least you're actually trying something
here. All I'm doing is sitting on the sidelines critiquing.

If you're seriously interested in making shirts, I think you can find a
market...just might make sense to do the artwork first and test drive it
here with your target audience. That way you're not incurring any
printing costs until it's clear you have an attractive design.

these shirts really dissapoint me. I am an artist and will probably be
going to some graphic design and arts school somewhere. My next shirts
will be waaaaay better because I will put in alot of time and do some
awesome artwork for it. But I just wanted to do these as sort of a
project for myself.

thats the spirit

i know this guy in my english class (and yet he's two years older than
me...) that had drawn what looked like a completely ragged sleep
deprived person holding an x box controller that had this big quote
about how they stayed up all weekend with no food or drink playing
halo... it was awesome

and i neglected to ask how many times he had to redesign that before
even thinking of making it a shirt

thats some cool as screen printing

is it hard to make it with 2 or more colours?

how did you go about making them? you do it yourself or did you go to a
t-shirt printing factory or wherever you get it done?

I think the shirt is beast. It would be a little better with maybe a
muni on it or somethin. I have only been uniing for a little under a
year, and never seen the "give blood" thing. I'd definatly buy one if i
wasnt so poor. Otherwise, looks great to me.

really good idea for a shirt that i made awhile back and it would look
awesome on that style of tee.

hey. i think they look awesome. unfortunately, i wont be going to moab.
i really like the actual tshirt with the little rim around the neck and
sleeve. theres no other uni shirt like that out there. i myself have
never seen the words "give blood" on a tshirt before, but i have seen
too much "extreme" i think. overal though, nice shirt. keep up the good
work.

With silk screening its not that hard to do two colors. I used to go to
a home school art class once a week and learned it there.

You have to make to screens that co-inside like what the shirts look
like. Then you just use the green screen first then you would use the
black over top the hardest part is lining it up (which isnt hard).

I'm sure you will get some buyers at Moab 2005. It's always hard to
predict how many though. You can never tell for sure what will be a big
seller, based on my experience with unicycle shirts over the years.

Rolf Thompson will also probably be selling shirts to help pay for the
event, so be careful not to step on his toes with your own shirts.
Generally if I'm selling shirts at someone else's event I try to make
sure they bought the event shirt first, befor I sell them mine. I think
Gilby sold a bunch of shirts at Moab 2004 as well.

So probably the biggest factor in whether your shirts will be good
sellers is how cool will the other available shirts be?
