T-Shirts As a Venue For Art Plus Robert Crumb T-Shirts

Author: Aristotle Finklestien

I’ve always liked art, not so much the Monets and Van Goghs, but the funky, weird and cartoony sort of art. It’s not surpirsing then that I am a big fan of Robert Crumb. If you don’t know who Robert Crumb is, you probably know his drawings – if you are over forty.

Robert Crumb is famous for “Keep on trucking” and the drawing that went along with that famous saying. You know, the weird little guy with the big shoe, the really big shoe, stepping in a long stride! He’s also known for the first mainstream animated x-rated movie “Fritz the Cat.”

I’m also a fan of Dali… So I think you’re starting to get the picture, art that is on the odd and quirky side, instead of landscapes and flower arrangements. So, it seems fitting that my drawings would follow what I like, weird and quirky.

For a brief couple of years I tried my hand at freelancing, which is not easy, by any stretch of the imagination. When I found out how hard it truly was, I went back to carpentry. That is until I was struck with congestive heart failure, which left me looking for an alternative means of income.

Now, with so much time on my hands, the idea of returning to the drawing board had a certain beckoning, that and the urging from friends and family to return to “humorous illustration” was enough to convince me to break out the art supplies. Which is more my laptop, than actual supplies.

I still freehand, but that’s usually only line drawings and by the time I’m done with Gimp or Illustrator, it’s barely recognizable…

I recently opened a POD (Print on demand) tee shirt shop with Cafepress. It’s a place where I can put all my art and designs and sayings on tee shirts. Yes, tee shirts.

So, does this take away from my “artist” title, The fact that I’m not in a museum or on the cover of the latest trendy magazine? Well, seeing how that was not going to happen any time soon and the fact that I get no rejection at all, except from myself, it is great! That’s right, you can be a horrible artist and still put your designs on tee shirts and trust me, I’ve seen horrible! Yet, people do it anyway.

In the same way horrible singers go on American Idol, horrible artists can reach the market place…

Don’t get me wrong, I have been published several times and even made a little money. I do mean little. It’s a very competitive market. Yup, I had two cartoons and an illustration published. I received two hundred dollars a cartoon from Bostonia Magazine and I sold them two cartoons. I also did an illustration for Midwest today, but never did get paid.

So, now my art can be seen by the millions of cool tee shirt seekers and I’m not the least bit ashamed and actually, I’m quite proud of my art. Like I said, my style is more “cartoony” than “classic rendering” so my art really does fit into the tee shirt market quite nicely.

And even though it has only paid 10 dollars, as of now, it’s the most fun and rewarding thing I’ve done in years. I get seen, I will get paid and I have total expressive freedom. I’ll also say this, I am proud of what I’ve produced so far. I’m glad to be drawing again and despite sales (I just started a month ago)…

I’m just beside myself with glee, or a more manly word, that isn’t coming to mind right now!
