Original art
front of shirt
back of shirt, right shoulder
Because my husband is the head girls' volleyball coach at Sunset High School and my daughter is on the team, I get to design a volleyball t-shirt for the camp each year. It can be intimidating, frustrating, and fun!
Intimidating because I want to create a design that girls and boys ages 12-18 will like. The timing is perfect, however, because I can look through the back-to-school ads to see the latest fashion trends.
It can be frustrating because I'm not savvy on the computer and do all the art by hand, hoping that I give the printer enough information and they can figure out what I want! They did a fabulous job!
Fun because it is so different from the other art I am doing and my kids get excited and involved and I see my t-shirts all around the school!
I used watercolor paper, ink, a dip pen, water sprays, salt and splatters for texture.

What a challenging task...coming up with something teens will like! (Yikes!) You did a brilliant job...very fun.
This is perfect and sure to be a winner for the boys AND girls. Being the mom of two boys, it was often their feeling that many things like this were too girly. Teenage boys can be a bit self conscious about anything that is less than manly. :)
Good luck in the upcoming season!
I think you have succeeded very well in this endeavor! Great design, it has an air of sportiness and sophistication!
I'd totally buy it! Especially if I could get an autographed copy... hint! hint!

That's a very hip design (said the 52-year-old). Okay, so what do I know, but I like the balance, the texture, the "accidents" the layout and design. It's edgy and tattoo-like. I'll bet they absolutely loved it. Nice work!
Wow!!! I want one!
The pictures about the back of shirt, right shoulder,is really amazing to see,although this post is just great.
