I am super excited, here is an ‘example’ of one of the sketches:
I am up for all suggestions, this will give me a reason to get a new puter, photo shop and a bad a** camera!
I am hoping the shirts having pockets and our friend is wanting collared / polo shirts so pearl snaps are probably do-able! I love a hoodie, that was always my addiction in school was sweaters (and shoes).
I will take any and all suggestions, I haven’t really seen much with boats or frogs / gators so that may be my next venture to see if I can get some cool shots! I have tons of things floating around in my head but I am not talented enough to draw them out lol I would like to get some cow dog pictures too.
I am not looking to make some kind of crazy killing off of it, although going Guy Harvey style would be pretty dang amazing! I want to focus more on quality American made apparel to keep ‘our’ people working instead of some sweat shop youngin’ so they may cost a little more but in the long run I think it will be worth it (I book marked your link for the Smoky Branch Camo Shirts Neches, everyone loves a good camo shirt!). I have some b/a collared work shirts that are stain proof and wrinkle resistant – I have never owned a better shirt!
JDJP, I think you are talking about the Hunter’s Den and my husband is a frequent shopper lol we have several of their shirts hanging in our closet! The picture in the ditch is my absolute favorite and I am hoping like crazy it turns out good. I like the idea of the orange grove, I will have to mention it to our friend and see what he can do and I have a really gorgeous picture of a cypress head that I think would make a great color print.
SCHitemhard, I will send you a PM cause I think I am going to need to talk to someone about colored prints and maybe graphic design? I keep hoping there is an ‘easy’ way to just scan these pictures in and they magically come out as sketches lol cause there is going to be a lot of hunting time spent drawing (I have my whip out now – j/k).
T.Willbanks, you didn’t get the memo?? We ARE a yankee State 7 months out of the year!
Most of the ‘true’ Floridians are about bred out lol but there are a few of us that just don’t ask past a 4th cousin whether or not we are related cause almost everyone I know I am related to one way or another!
There is nothing ‘wrong’ with a Rebel Flag or having it on clothing, I just associate it with some of the hoodlums that sport it for the ‘wrong’ reasons which is the exact reason why kids cannot wear them in school and why I get a dirty look whenever I put one on and wear it to town without thinking twice about it, but like John said they have a magazine full already available but I can work it in there if that is what some of you are interested in.
Muddoger, I like it when they are caught as well. The store that JDJP was talking about has one of a hog tossing a dog out of a palmetto head and it is what I am wanting to do, a more realistic line of shirts derived from real situations / photos.
Once I get a few more pictures and a firm pricing chart since orders are based off of quantity so the more I have ordered the better the prices will be for everyone….especially since it is just starting out I want to make sure those here are ‘taken care of’ and my husband mentioned maybe giving out shirts for advertisement with a website or something on it….so much to be figured out but you guys really have us all motivated now!
