This is my concept for the new Threadless challenge TechnoCRAFT. The challenge is to create an incomplete design -- one that stands alone but may also be modified, finished or repurposed by the purchaser.
If you'd like to see this shirt printed, vote for it at the link provided. If it goes to print, I'd like to make a compilation of what people draw, write or create on their shirts.
Implications - Some samples being shown so far already depict some stellar artwork by some artistically gifted individuals. Who wouldn't want a one-of-a-kind shirt designed mostly by you to express your own individuality? Then again, the same concept for this tee could probably be achieved with a regular plain t-shirt.
