Makin' T-shirts ...

So for like a hot minute I drew images for some t-shirts, to try it out. T-shirts are cool, so why not? It was fun but the experience certainly made me realize I need to get around to really learning Photoshop should I ever really try to pursue it again (!)

At any rate, I thought I'd share the images, since the second one is for sale ...

This first one on the left -- the guitarist printed on the orange t-shirt -- was for a big church assembly a few months back. It's not for sale. The volunteers in the band wore these while they played. I thought that was a sweet idea, and I was pretty happy with how it came out ... it's my first t-shirt! The guitar player is encased in a guitar-pick shape. And the background is some of the downtown Nashville skyline.

The second t-shirt is one I drew for the folks at Cool People Care. Those are the guys that made those beautiful "We Are Nashville" stickers and Tees after the May 2010 flood for the Community Foundation. Cool People Care teams up with various good causes and make t-shirts (or posters, etc.,) to raise money for them. They also use environmentally friendly printers and inks to do so.

I'm a recycle fiend. The sheer volume of LESS garbage I have to throw out as waste is amazing. Everyone should recycle! I do still have to get around to composting, but I recycle everything else now: glass, metal, plastic, cardboard, paper, books. I'm even recycling aluminum foil and starting on plastic sandwich bags (yes, it's rather obsessive.)

So as a big recycling fan, I drew a recycle symbol for CPC (the logo is theirs) and the cause is the Alabama Environmental Council. If you would like to show your support for recycling, help out the AEC and you'd like to get a t-shirt, please find it at the Cool People Care store.
