Anybody here got some skill at drawing?

Ok so I had an idea (or as some of us here in the North East say "idear"). I want to get some T-shirts made up.

On the front we'd have the F:AT logo, small like where the breast pocket would be.

On the back I'd like to get a picture of a Mech (like Ed-209 from Robocop) blazing away at a meeple.

I would front the cost to have them printed and anybody that wanted one could pay an amount equal to the printing cost..or maybe a bit more to be donated to the website.

The problem is, I can't draw to save my life. I'm not looking for oil painting type quality but I do want it to look good.

Anybody have the skills and the willingness to make this happen?

With my limited experience with getting t-shirts made, I always got the t-shirt place to do the art for me. Not sure if they would really do an awesome job, but it may not cost you anything to try. And yeah, I have no artistic talent, but would totally buy this shirt.

Dood! We have a professional comic artist in fellow FATtie Jason Lutes. Not sure if that's his thing but maybe worth sending him a TM, if he hasn't seen this already.

I was unaware. But now I know..and knowing is half the battle.

I can knock that out for you...unfortunately I am busy making "Ken luvs Teh Cock" shirts.

(I actually considered doing that BTW - just another detail that fell by the wayside)
(and the Avery/Kenyon Roadkill trip of '10 - Snap I'm such a slacker.)

I could do this if you sent me one of the t-shirts.

I do digital stuff as well, see for a party I organized: www.uni-koblenz-landau.de/koblenz/studen...3monkeys/plakats.png

I'd need some specifics though: how many colours, what file type, etc.

I'd suggest having the mech fire at Eugene though.

I was going to do shirts a while ago but never did.

Someone has been borrowing all my printing stuff but he's supposed to bring it back soon, he's trying to get a van to drive it back up cause it's kinda big, and if that happens I can do the shirts pretty easily. I used to screen shirts for a while, it was a good in-between-tours bonus job plus I got to do all our merch and stuff for bands on the label.

Don't ask Lutes, guys, please. Artists, crazy as it may seem, often want to be paid to work. Let me rephrase, ask if Lutes would take a commission.

Ok it is SO on! Steve "Working for the betterment of All Man Kind" Avery has agreed to draw up the image.

It was cool of you to offer and I appreciate it Schweig.

Matt, I also have a four color screening machine. But it'd be a total pain in the ass. Frankly it's the making of the screens that is the costliest part of getting the shirts done not the printing itself. So in a cost vs. bullshit ratio analysis it's just as easy to get them done and there is a good guy I use here in Manchester.

Jeb! Na-duh! I don't tow for free. I don't expect artists to artify for free. That being said, if a brother asks for a favor, depending on who it is I might help him out. Only way to know is to ask without expectation.

Uh...DAVID AUSLOOS? AVERY THE ART TEACHER? SCHWEIG, OUR RESIDENT CARTOONIST?

Edit: Sorry, late!

Edit 2: It will also be telling whence you start asking for orders....the sizes. It's going to be hilarious to see the Small to XXL ratio.
LOL

There will be a ratio?

Let's make sure we get some babydoll tees as well for Loter.

You really think Double X will be the upward limit?

Oh and Steve "Cosmic Mind Link" Avery just showed me the sketch he did. I was so pumped I jumped out of my chair and clapped my hands. It ROCKS. Just what I had in mind.

I'm a pretty robust mammal, guess I'll have to rein in my fatness if I want a FAT shirt.
