I have been asked to design a biker tshirt??? and usually something like this would be right up my alley. I don't know that it will ever get printed....i was refered by a friend, to a guy that screen prints T-shirts in his spare time around town here. Trust me it's a small town....i think they are roughly 20,000 in all of Union County.
The only instructions i got was design something YOU would want on a biker TSHIRT........to which i said........FOOK THAT......brother, i don't think what i would print on a Tshirt would even be legal.....you know like the back saying....if you can read this....back your tailgate'N ass up. A ladies tshirt with BIG DADDYS HEADREST across the chest.
I am so use to doing tattoo design's, i have become a lazy thinker. Tattoo's are easy, you get some personal info....incoporate that and thier idea...BAM...A TATTOO.....but this is different. I hate all the skulls, chains, flames, maltesse cross shit. I know ,there went the BIKER PART. I guess i just want it to be different than whats out there. I am looking for some good IDEA's....i mean i love everyones art here.....but i am more or less just wanting to pick a few Cells from a few different brains. I needed IDEA'S, and i figured that since i belong to such a great group of people that actually do this for a living, maybe that would be something that was o.k.. I may never be asked to do another in my life, and with the Artistic group here, i may have a shot at creating something great.
I dont want anyone to think that i want to use your art, or copy anything that was not mine.....that's the Reason i ask for IDEAS.
any help even just bullshit help is ok....i just want to throw the ball around before getting Neck deep....you know..... bouncing ideas.

ROOM REY....think ROOM. .....if things go south, make sure your WILL has you cremated and put in a douch.....so she can run you through one more time.
NIce design Splodge.......web site???.....cash flow....what's that.????
i'm not looking to make a fortune.....but if it happened, well i would spend it....or at least try my best......It's more like the guy who prints the little league Ball teams T's (ALL 5 OF them) mostly for free......minus the shirt cost.......... wants me to come up with a design.....like i said, It may never even be printed. Having to make the screens may not even be worth it. I know his son.....and he thought i would like a shot....SO...this is it...

It may never even be printed.
But you can always print an iron on one just to say your work is being worn!!
For Silkscreen they used to charge more per added color. So cost kept down would be in 1 color and as such they only have one screen to be made.
Otherwise think of the average age and IQ of the people who might get these. Cool and classy, or wild and wierd?
But have fun figuring it out!

modern screen printers don't use screens anymore, they use sheets of acetate with a very posh printer that etches the design in the acetate, one sheet per color, i built and ran a T shirt site for a friend for a while,
most printers would want hi def 2,000 X 2,000 pixel saved as .png with transparent background

I know what ya mean Marty.....It's like cars and paint jobs. EVERYONE will buy a regular paint job.....but only a select few want Flames and flake on the pinto. I just thought it was cool to be asked....Makes ya feel good....i would like to do a class A job.....sorta like my first tattoo.....i wanted that thing to be jumping off BAD......well it was bad....not good bad either......but it was a learning process. I think it's wearer only showed it on rare occasions .....i know some here get paid and are pro's.....and i would'nt even ask for thier help, but this is the only CREATIVE place i have. My kids love Drawing....as long as i'm doing it ....both got a light pad for X-mas....it's like a light table, but small and batterie powered....DIM AS HELL....but they think its the cat's butt......so if i want to brain storm ART and IDEAS...this is the place.......again.....i'm not thinking market....i know i should.......i'm thinking......HOLYSHIT.....look......that would mean more than cash......WELL til a point anywho.

recycle some old biker jokes
I'm not afraid of Satan. I'm married to his sister.
Can I buy you a drink, or do you just want the money?
Design flaws in women
1. There is too much inconsistency in the front-end protrusion.
2. It chatters constantly at high speeds.
3. Most of the rear ends are too soft and wobble too much.
4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust,
and finally,
5. The maintenance costs are outrageous

Bikes don't leak oil, they mark their territory.
A bike on the road is worth two in the shop.
Smoke and grease can hide a multitude of errors, but only for so long.

i go back to my original suggestion, use cafepress it costs you nothing, they handle all the money, package, postage issues, they also take a huge amount of the money, they set a price, you add your mark-up and do any additional advertising (in your case pin a few flyers to the local lampost) and tell your biker friends where to buy them, i've had my gordonk T for a while now, no sign of ware.
dozens of styles, colors, products ect

Here's an IDEA for ya dewdew I needed the shades for this one.
The Easy Rider theme's cool and no skulls, chains, flames, maltesse cross shit...just peace,love,drugs and freedom shit
Or how about the Easy Rider theme for kids- a Triker T-Shirt
"The Chop-per" for artsy bikers
...and for some final inspiration and marketing pull...this will draw attention for sure (airbags included)

I'd probably select a simple image and stylize the hell out of it...
in an old illustrative style...
and in my searching, I found the perfect emoticon for you, dew!
