    That's nice and original.
    I'd go for the t-shirt option, personally.

    That's fun! I'd buy it on a Tee.

    Fun Design! It's a really good variation between the others out there.

    I'd go for the tattoo myself. It's a great way to mark this part of your life and -t-shirts wear out.

    One thing to keep in mind though is that if you are going to get it tattooed on is that where the waves over lap the gear the artist probably wont be able to overlay the blue on top of the black. I still think the design would work well with the waves being solid though.

    I'm getting the top to my triathlon/marathon back piece done the end of this month. I'll be sure to post pictures of my design then.

    Oh yes, please do.

    I think I still need to play with the proportions of this - and most certainly I'll try out temporary tats first. That would be fun anyway.

    I'm not ready yet.

    Fun stuff! Not sure how it would translate to a tattoo... so a shirt would be nice.

    I wonder what it would look like with more of a road bike tire. Hint hint.

    I like it. I'd buy it on a T-shirt too. We could have a TE tri shirt.

    that's a chainring - not a tire....

    I could open a cafepress store if you want.

    WOW! Great idea!

    Elegant, simple, understated, has that "why didn't I think of that?" quality, works either in black and white and in color, all the solid principles of corp design there, could work on anything from a full pro Tri team kit and ID to a tat to the bottom of a pool to ....

    Get ... it ... copyright ... NOW!

    For many artists and frankly especially women artists your first sign of success is seeing your design on the side of someone's truck (There's a logo still tooling around the Bay Area and when I see it I wave "nice work! I didn't get paid for that")

    Trust me, we're all saying "ooooh, cute, I'd buy that on Cafe Press, it'd be a nice tat". Trust me, someone pull up this page somehow, googles Tri and says "I've found our corp Identity or the next hot "gotta have it" Tri gear".

    Copyright it and ask "Susan, let's get this product line going"

    Hey, you said it, you can have it:

    http://www.cafepress.com/arabbit

    I saved it as the highest quality graphic they recommended, everything is vector graphics so there should not be any pixely stuff going on.

    the magnets are not perfect yet.
    I'd like a bigger print on the Tees but especially the cap sleever one, haven't managed to get it any bigger.

    if you want it any other way, just say it and I'll create the option. Or product.

    I did not mark up the items. So I'm not making any money.

    You wanna wait until I get it as big as possible on the tee, or is one of those sized ok ?


    .....ah! I think I got it right! 8 inches across should do it.

    And I fixed the magnets
