Following his lead (I try to do this as much as possible), I plan on making myself some t-shirts of photos I like. But to work as a t-shirt, the image can't be too complex or subtle. Also, I need to be able to scan it out of a book to get a high enough resolution. Martin Parr immediately comes to mind (and is on the bookshelf). Being such a master of marketing, I'm surprised he hasn't done this already. These three are currently under consideration:

All great. As a reference, I did a Google Image search for "knobs" and got these XL images:

funny.
believe it or not (probably not), i didn't immediately notice the breast connotation in the parr pictures. well, except for the obvious one.
That's great! I want one!
I'm not even going to address the segue from sex visual metaphors to these possibilities for t-shirts. I will buy "Volume and Tempo" whenever offered.
i think that volume/tempo one is going to be first. just need to pick up a t-shirt. soon...
Why aren't you even considering using images of your own?
hi f:lux,
i'm not against using my own pictures, but don't have many that work in that easily translatable/clever way. maybe one of these?
