Who dares to wear white tees anyway?

Actually this is a very valid point...

Maybe something more like a baseball jersey? Or a baby-doll tee?


That sounds cool. Do you have a logo Teller?

I have to disagree about putting the large image on the back. But I live in a cooler climate, where tshirts almost always have another shirt or jacket over the top so you can only see the front. Maybe for you southern folks it makes more sense.

I like the second design better too. It would be cool to have non-square image--just the skeleton in the bathtub, without the rest of the image, for example--but that would require different colored shirts, depending on the image. And keep the text minimal and large enough to read from 5 feet away.

Long sleeve would be nice too.

I'd skip the nightshirt. I don't think a large block of silkscreening is comfy to sleep on, personally.

Fab shirts. You'll let us know when the new designs are printed. . .

Ok...maybe I need to keep several styles...I was always a "front-of-the-shirt" person too.

I'm really struggling with how to get away from the square images, but these are basically cartoons...it's tough...but it's a suggestion I'll keep in mind as I go forward.

Long sleeves--no problem; I should have done those before come to think of it. Maybe not during the summer, though...

Long sleeve t-shirt in the summer are actually great for night-time baseball games...

I'd say lose the 'square box' look by having
whatever skeleton image you want on a predominantly
white background, so the design bleeds into the
white of the shirt.

for example, with the skeleton in the bath pic.
keep the skeleton in the bath and the shadow that
it creates, but lose the wall behind.

I agree with those who say to get rid of the box around the image. Also, I like t-shirts with the image on the back as opposed to the front.

Of the two choices... I like the second one better.

Right now I'm trying to decide between a t-shirt and the calendar!

It would be cool to have a logo! Something that is instantly recognizable! That would look great on a t-shirt!
