T-shirts anyone?

Here's my offer:
This is a small hobby, not a small business. I'm self-taught beeeyatch. If you have a graphic or simply want some text printed on a t-shirt (one to two color designs) without wanting to pay a lot for a professional quality t-shirt, I can make you one. Again, I don't do this for a living and thus I don't guarantee my work. But you can bet your ass I'll make a good image for less money than the next guy. With the price of materials and shipping, your finished shirt could cost you anywhere from $10 - $20, depending on shirt quality and shipping costs. The more duplicate shirts you order, the less you pay.

Interested? Post a comment below. Agreements will be made via email. Shirt(s) will be made and shipped to customer after the order has been made and funds have been sent. I will pay for the shirt if I feel I have messed up the image. Remember, this is just an easy way for you or a friend to get your smiplistic one or two color image on a t-shirt without having to pay over-the-top prices for a pro-printer.

How is it done?
Start with a graphic, maximum size of 8.5" x 12.5". Draw the image by hand, or print a black image on vellum with computer graphics program/printer for very detailed art. Transfer image to the screen (using various methods), throw some ink on it, and BAM. T-shirt. All my inks are water based, simply because I do not have the professional grade equipment to heat cure a plastisol-based ink (the type used on most production dark t-shirts to lay the ink on top of the shirt fibers). What I'm trying to say is that it's easier for me to do a light colored t-shirt because a water-based ink will stain the lighter fibers very well and will be soft to the touch. Nothing lays on top of the shirt as with a plastisol ink, so there's no plastic/rubbery feel. Shirt must be 100% cotton. Polyester and polyester blends (synthetic fibers) will not accept the water-based ink stain and will wash out immediately.
