Hey there artists and shirt mavens! Any of youse guys work in the san diego area? Its been nigh impossible to find any local shirt artists to talk to, brainstorm, whatever. Its like trying to find a fellow banjoist - they don't exist.

Where do most of the threadlessians live? midwest, SF area, Mexico?

So I have these ideas, but I'm afraid to submit some of the designs because there someone might say "hey, you just took such-and-such idea from so-and-so's shirt, I'm giving you a zero!"

What's the consensus? If there's already a shirt out there with a monkey on it, does that affect how you grade an entry that has monkeys on it as well?

Hearken ye to my words, and respond forthwith

Hi folks,

brand new artist here. I'll be posting slogans and logos from time to time, so vote on my stuff. If you have any feedback, shoot me a message. As you can see from my pic, I'm into robots, so if you're a fellow robot fan, I'd be glad to hear from you.
