I am not into album jackets or anything like that and I have too many with pictures or slogans that I can't wear to work already so i want g rated ideas...please :)

    I have a huge plant pot that I painted and I am wondering if there's anyway they can transplant the design on that onto a t shirt.

    Ooh fun. You could use a Deep Thought from Saturday Night Live. They have them written out here:

    The picture of your dogs doesn't sound silly at all--you could alter the picture a bit so it looks more like art then a photo; very cute!

    If you want to use any of my art then just let me know (its a long shot i know but if your looking for escher like images everyone always says my stuff seems a bit inspired by his) http://fleassy.theice.co.uk/gallery/ just look in the "ink" section.:p

    You could go to any head shop where they sell stickers with intersting bohemian designs/psychedelic.....that sort of thing, and copy that onto the shirt.
    I think the idea of using your dogs is cute.....I would do it

    I like your drawings-a lot but I think your idea of drawing my own is even better. I am picky about t shirt material and length and thiness and all that it's like the only thing I'm picky about but so anyway I am bringing my own shirts and we get a non-profit discount even for personal use so even if what I draw sucks it won't be a huge deal.

    Have you seen stuff by martin sharp? He did the Disraeli Gears album for cream and a lot of the artwork for Oz magazine... and that poster of bob dylan surrounded in swirls of urine.
