Possible T-Shirt Designs?

People who know I like to draw are always telling me I should design t-shirts and enter them in contest sites like to try to win money, or even get them printed myself and try to sell them. I’m always thinking of ideas for t-shirts, but I’m reluctant to put in money to get them printed. One of the ideas a lot of people like is sushi themed shirts, which would have a different sushi roll in the middle of each one, so that you can tell what type it is without text. I doubt I would ever run out of types of sushi, with all of the varieties there are in existence as well as constantly being invented. I think one restaurant has even come up with an “Irvine Roll.” I’ve drawn up a lot of versions, but every time I’m satisfied with one style someone says it should be a different way. Then people say to get more opinions, but everyone’s opinion is different. Haha.

I also have these illustrations of babies I made for a client for part of a logo (Big Eye Baby, Inc.), and now they aren’t being used because they decided to go with something else. The finished logo which was originally going to have a baby graphic over it, but it looks better with plain text. Now I want to use the baby concept for something else and make some other illustrations.  I can envision t-shirts or dolls of them being made.
