@nevets88 - Nice work. Do you have screen printing equipment or a digital t-shirt press? It looks like SP from the images.

I quick story about t-shirt printing... While in art school, I had a classmate who used to design and print t-shirts while living in Southern California. It offered a modest income that would basically pay for his consumables and a bit of his time. He showed me some photos of some of his designs - mostly sailing themes - and then came upon one that for whatever reason, started selling like crazy. The design was not much different than the others, but it became a craze for the area and he couldn't keep up. Said he made a lot of money off that one design. Then, as suddenly as it had started, they just stopped selling.

The design was basically a one-hit wonder.

@JonMA1 I have an account on one of the t-shirt services like Redbubble, you send in an image and they do everything but they take a substantial cut. It's mainly because "I want this t-shirt I'm imagining but no one has it so I'll make one for myself". And if it actually sells, which I don't expect, I'll just use that money to buy more t-shirts.

I did this one in like a minute and sold half a dozen. I look at purchases more like upvotes on social media.

Cool hobby. The quality looks really good for a digital press, but that shouldn't surprise me. That technology just keeps improving.

Do you have people comment on the shirts and ask where you got them?

I can see that, definitely a compliment. I had a portfolio full of artwork stolen back in the day. I chalked it up to either someone liking the art enough to commit a crime or my teacher throwing it in a dumpster.

Unfortunately no, so basically an exercise in self expression. :-P It earns enough  to get free t-shirts once in a while.

@nevets88, I really like the "no tweets" shirt. Would you send me a PM how I can buy one and cost? Thanks, -Marv
