I have questions

If any of you have answers, I'm ready to listen.
I love Zazzle.com - but, it is not without problems. Specifically, I have two issues. First, they do not do full shirt printing. Second, while they will to large art prints, they have a limited selection of paper and printing options.
For shirts, I like more than a small area on the front and back of a shirt to place artwork. I want something more. While I am a fan of Rogue Monk Workshop, they have a max screen print size of about 14"x18". Better, but still not full shirt printing. Does anyone know of a source that will allow me to design full shirt prints, and will sell the shirts for me, like Zazzle, and send me a commission?
For prints... I don't know about you, but if I'm going to spend a lot of money on a piece of art, a print on poster paper will not cut it. I want it printed on nice, heavy-duty, high quality paper - even archival quality paper. I would like the option, at least, to have the print mounted on foam/gator board, or stretched on a canvas. I see that MPix does all that, but they do not sell the pieces for you. They have a partner that will handle all the ordering, and shipping, but you have to pay to have them host a website for you. Again, I want something that works like Zazzle, but offers more options in the printing. Zazzle does offer nicer papers for prints, and will even frame the print for you. They do not, however, offer foam/gator board or canvas wraps. Does anyone know of a source that will offer all the options of MPix but will handle all the ordering, printing, and shipping, like Zazzle?
I've been researching, but have not yet found a good solution for these two issues. If anyone has any leads, I am open and will appreciate the help! Just send me a message through my contact form.
As always, I appreciate you all so much! Thanks for taking the time to listen. Also, be sure to check out the new additions in my Abstracts!!
Have a Perfectly Positive day!

Well, I went ahead and added a couple more designs to my Susan G. Koman shirt concepts. As always, I value and appreciate your feedback!
Chowders!

I made contact with a rep for the Susan G Komen foundation yesterday & they may be interested in having me design a shirt for them. Before I submit anything to them, however, I want to do my due diligence and get feedback on some design ideas.
Basically, I want to know if any of these ideas would appeal to you and would you be interested in purchasing one, or both, if they were available. If one or more of my designs is accepted, then all proceeds would go directly to the foundation.
I'm not looking for praise - but I am interested in constructive criticism. So, if you have a second, please check out my design concepts.
Thanks!

More Updates!

I've uploaded some of my photography pieces. Some are photos taken with a standard camera, some are from my iPhone (who says you cannot be creative with an iPhone camera?). All are edited and are either a bit abstract or surreal. I hope you enjoy them!
I've also added a page with links to my products. The page is broken into general categories, then there are links to products for each specific artwork. I do not have all my artwork posted for sale at this point. It's a bit of a process. If there is something you would like to purchase, but it is not yet available in my store, let me know through the contact form and I will bump it up in my to-do list.
Also, don't forget to check out my shirt designs on the Rogue Monk Workshop site. My "Cherry Blossoms" design only has 6 days of voting left. I *really* could use your help!
Finally, for those of you who visited because you heard about me on Larry Flick's radio broadcast, I want to send out a big *THANK YOU* for taking the time out of your day to check me out! Also, a big thanks to my partner, Donnie Brown, for the shout out and to Larry Flick for the free press!
Thanks all for the moment. Catch ya later!

I need your help! I have submitted two t-shirt designs to Rogue Monk Workshop. Before my designs are eligible for sale, I have to get a certain number of votes from the general public. How many? I don't know & they're not sayin'. If you have a sec, please check them out and vote on them if you like them. As of the time I am posting this message, only one of my designs is open for voting, and voting on it ends in 8 days from today. It is the Cherry Blossoms design.
Hopefully, my other design, Phoenix, will be open for voting soon!
Thanks for your support! It means a lot to me!
