Screen Print Tees For All

I am a total sucker for screen print shirts displaying quirky, random, or dark humor on them. (Note that "FBI: Female Body Inspector" does not qualify into any of these categories, nor does "99% Princess".) I was introduced to a site the other day called threadless.com. It's a company that takes submissions from artists and the artistically-challenged alike that come up with designs for tee shirts. They take almost anything, and are held in the "submissions" end of the site for awhile. There, anyone could spend hours going through hundreds of submissions, giving design feedback, and rate them, or in my case, a 1-5 funny scale. The company eventually takes a couple submissions every month to print and sell, for $15 compared to Urban Outfitters where there was a similar one for $98. I have my eye on one that displays a man farming mittens from a field.
