question!

Okay, as I have shown before, I like to spray paint stuff onto t shirts with stencils....

annnd as of recently (aka i came up with the idea and made the first shirt tonight) i want to make a "series" of shirts, that fall along the theme..



this is the first one. my dad looked at it and goes "YOUR BREASTS ARE SPEAKING." (i was wearing it when i showed him) i was like :roll: JEEZ DAD.
the color is a lot less ugly in person. its just stencils and spray paint on a tshirt i bought at fred meyers.

ahem. basically, my "vision" (I feel so nerdy saying that) is to have a bunch of shirts, that all have a single speech bubble on them, with different words in them, like hope, peace, love, strength, joy, on and on and on. i'm not quite sure how terribly original the idea is, but i love it.



so here are my questions.

1) Is there anywhere you guys by t shirts online in bulk? I'm not sure how many I will need (probably not more than ten) but it can get kind of expensive.

2) Is there any sort of a product that I could put over the designs to make them more permanent? I haven't ever had any problems with shirts fading in the wash, but it is always a possibility, considering I just use hobby/craft spray paint that i buy at fred meyers. Some sort of a gloss or something? I don't really know.

oh well, I am hoping to have a bunch of these done this weekend, as i have a friend who i want to photograph them, and shes going back to college soon, etc etc.

Any comments/advice/constructive criticism is appreciated =]
