My Own Clothing!

Here are the first three designs!
I`ll add all of the links to the Shirts
So far at the end of this update! 
Since I`ve finished my art project at sixth form, and I`m now waiting for the next project... I`ve been very, very bored! Over the weekend I`m going to try and get some more drawings and sketches done as experimentation; but I`ve had to come up with something new to do...


After I finished my art project, I got so bored that I just laid in bed one night and contemplated as to what I should do for the next project... what kind of sketchbook I should have, what backgrounds, colour schemes... Yes, I was rather bored.
The next morning I was going down my facebook newsfeed and I cam across this sponsored website called Live Heroes and they were currently advertising clothing that a certain brand on their site had made. I clicked on the page and then went to their website to get a better look; it turns out that anyone can use this site, you upload your designs onto literally any kinds of clothing and put it up for sale... Then, the website takes care of printing the designing, taking the orders from buyers and delivering the final product. Then the designer makes 20% of any money made, that then gets transferred into points, then when you have a certain amount of points, you can order a money transfer and all of that money then goes straight into your bank account!
I thought it was bloody amazing and got started straight away, at first I thought that the prices where a little bit high, just an ordinary T-shirt is £21.45, and I`m still not sure if people would pay that much for just a Shirt.

Cute Watercolour Flower!
I am having fun with the site so far, I haven`t had an account for that long so I`m still trying to figure out as to what designs I should use on the clothing. It`s kind of trying to figure out as to what people want from me, and what kind of designs they would prefer from me and in what style. at the moment it`s hard, I haven't had anyone buy anything on Live Heroes or Deviantart, and I want to use the money I earn to save up and put towards art equipment and University travel money. Times are difficult and I`m trying my best to promote myself.
Luckily, I do have some time on my hands still, which gives me plenty of time to get designs done and scanned in, to then upload onto clothing.

At the moment, I`m mainly working on womens clothing designs, the shirts that I`ve done so far however are Unisex shirts and can be bought in all sizes, XS too 4XL! At the moment, all T-shirts are £21.45 and I can`t change the prices on the site as they control it all. I`m not sure as to what designs I should make for men? Skulls? Bikes? Plain Text? Dark themed Clothes?
I literally have no idea as to what men wear on a day to day basis, I may have a boyfriend and all but he mainly just wears plain T-shirts with no designs on... And I can`t really sell them for £21 a piece!
If anyone has any ideas, then please get in touch, either on the facebook page or on Google+... If anyone still uses that.

To make it a lot more easier than just uploading a lot of links down here, I`m going to upload some Deviantart links aswell, I`ve been using Deviantart to help promote these clothes and the links are on there too.
So now, select the image that you want to view:

Thanks for all of the support so far! I hope the designs take off soon or at least a few print on deviantart, any money I earn will go straight into that equipment fund because I`m bloody low right now!
If anyone has any ideas as to what I should design for mens wear, then please don`t hesitate to get in touch! Since I have no idea!
