Every had a yummy idea for a design that would be perfect for a comfy t-shirt? Here’s your chance. This call is not for wearable art–but for ARTWORK to be used on wearable pieces.
Finally, a wearable art competition that doesn’t require knowledge of clothing construction. And the theme? You know I love a theme. No, it isn’t food…but a “Movie Poster” theme can rock too!
Better yet? There appears to be no entry fee! Check it out!
