"I'M NOT BAD, I'M JUST DRAWN THAT WAY"
This is just an experiment to find out A) what one of my illustrations would look like on a "actual" tee. B) what kind of interest ($) there is for this sort of thing.
Remember, bretheren, this is just goofing around.

Even if I wasn't a fan of your work, I'd wear that. It's a fun t-shirt that is miles away from those "irony" t-shirts that have just been flooding the market recently.
I'd like to see more t-shirts out there that don't just scream "look how awesome I am for wearing this awesome t-shirt"

Reminds me of Jessica of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" fame...She wasn't bad, just drawn that way. I'd order it and wear it...proudly if you're taking votes. I could put it in the drawer right next to my Finchy T-shirt...LOL.

Ok, how much for an XL?

The quote is a Jessica Rabbit quote if I remember correctly. I'd consider buying the shirt if it were for sale, so long as the price weren't crazy.

Heck, yeah! I buy a few.
The hardest thing about good art T-Shirts is the quality of the printing. How good does it look new and how many washes will it survive?
Some of the "Say what?" images would be great, and yest - leave the text blank. Adds to the joke.
And especially the haiku ones. The current one with the clown, priceless.

HEY GANG
Thanks for the votes of confidence. I like the idea of offering the artwork on shirts, just a matter of making it worthwhile. Bear with me on this thing. I think it can work, I just need a few things to fall into place.
Believe me, I'm not hurting for ideas for shirts. I actually think it's worth doing.

Jessica never looked so "good."

Myno - I think Jessica was classier looking. And sexier with that red hair of hers.

Jessica's quote + Marilyn's "Happy Birthday Mr. President" hair + John Cox's favorite body style= possible $$.
(This body is on about every 4th page of his sketchbooks if I remember correctly. Ha!)

Hey John:
Superplusgood idea! I'd like one with the clown from your most recent "Haiku What" (that one is super), or the "What if" would be great on a T-shirt.
You get my vote
Shalom from Jerusalem

actually, isn't it a "Cool World" quote.

Curvy Good! If it's gonn'a be on a Tee, a little exaggeration is appropriate, like size No. 16 Shoes...

hi, nice drawing. but not on a t-shirt - it'd be horrible having slackers drool over it. It'd be great on a coffee cup though.

John,
It would be great to have your artwork on different products, e.g., mugs, caps, t-shirts, etc.
By the way: Is your EGO baseball jersey still hanging around? :)
All the Best,
Martin
