Nope, they weren't actually drawn by me, but by kids! And this is what they'd look like printed on a T Shirt.
What's my point?
Well, you know how little kids like to draw you a picture and you end up shoving it in the kitchen drawer? (Hey...what are you supposed to do if you don't own a pin-board?!) Or how about when your niece or nephew has drawn a cracking portrait of you? (massive eyes, massive lips and a stick thin body)...Or check that one of a hand print above, priceless non? (that hand isn't always going to be so small) I think all of these things would be a great idea for a T Shirt / canvas. I especially like the squiggly one - I'd wear that with some jeans - it's cool. Honestly, think about how chuffed your kid would be if you got one of their pictures put on a T Shirt? They'd feel well pleased with themselves!
Another good idea (I reckon anyway) is, when it's a rainy day and they are bored, arguing or being nasty to the cat, sit them down and get them to draw a picture with the promise of getting it printed up. I don't know anyone (especially young people who need all the encouragement that they can get) that wouldn't be proud to have some of their artwork on show, do you? You could also get them to design one for their granny, their teacher...their doll, their dad, best friend or the tooth-fairy.
All for a tenner!
You know what, if I had a kid I'd get him/her to design MY T Shirts (ha - that sounds like total exploitation actually)...because at least I'd know it was original and meant something. Also, I'd be able to show the young'uns artistic skills off to all and sundry. If I had a whole brood of them, even better! I'd hold a T Shirt design competition every Sunday. Orrrrr maybe not....
