T-Shirt Design 1

I've been trying to think of more ways to make money from my art besides freelancing, and I think I might have some funny ideas for cartoons that could appear on T-shirts. I've worked in retail before and have a pretty good idea of what people will buy. Basically, a lot of people love ridiculous humor that borderlines on raunchy, and I think I'm pretty adept at that. These definitely won't be your grandma's kind of shirts (unless she's one of those cool grandmas).

Apparently, it's best to use a maximum of 8 colors when making these. I think I ended up with 7 or something, but I found it a little challenging, especially since black and white count as colors too. However, I think it will be fun to experiment with some creative "workarounds", if you will. Plus, limiting myself to so few colors can result in an interesting and unique palette in every piece.
