Anybody want a hand-crafted graphic shirt?

I do this for fun sometimes, but I was wondering if anybody would actually pay me for one. The following pics are just some examples of what I've done in my own wardrobe, but I am happy to accept commissions too. I wouldn't charge much, because this isn't really something I'm looking to make a career. Just for funzies.

This one was inspired by some graffiti I saw. I loved the image. Graceful birds in flight surrounded by a graceful, stylized swirl of air.

It may be hard to recognize, but this is the Buddhist symbol for "om" and it's been reworked to resemble a Buddha in seated meditation.

This is a moderately successful attempt at an image I designed for a story of a teddy bear gone to war. The attempt was to make the bear resemble that famous picture of Che Guevarra.

This is a chinese dragon that I made as a going away present for my best-friend, and hetero-life-mate, Ryan Smith. The back of the shirt has the "om" from above. The dragon was placed simliarly to the birds in the above pic, and not pictured is the kanji characters up near the collar. It's a terrible translation, but the sentiment of the kanji is roughly "good luck on your journey, friend."

We all know who this little guy is. This was an experiment with a triple-layered stencil technique. I had decided to take what I was doing to the next level. I am pretty happy with the result.

Any takers?

On a totally unrelated note: I accomplished The 300 workout that I linked to. The idea is to get through the whole thing as fast as possible, resting as little as possible along the way. In case you didn't take the link, here's a summary:

25 Pull-ups
50 Deadlifts, 75 lb barball
50 Push-ups
50 Box Jumps, 24 inch platform
50 "Floor Wipers"
25 Clean and Press, 25 lb dumbbell (each side)
25 more Pull-ups

I did it in just under 30 mnutes. No nausea or passing out this time either. Woo-Hoo!
