Hey bros,
As most (or at least some of you know) I am a musician. What you might not know is that I play some fairly esoteric folk instruments including the Bodhran (Irish frame drum), Bones (aka Rhythm Bones) and Spoons (yes, simple kitchen spoons). I also teach workshops, classes, intensives and private lessons for the above instruments (among others). I am working, slowly toward building a promotional website for myself, my music and my instructional materials (DVD also in production), and make a business for myself.
I have a series of designs (images, logos, etc.) that people who have seen them really seem to dig and I have been asked about doing them on T-shirts and other items (there are 5 seperate designs in all). I'd love to produce and sell merchandise with my designs on them. As I am a musician, I have limited (see: almost none) start up capitol to get this accomplished.
A friend turned me on to cafepress.com, which seems right up my financial alley (see: no initial investment), even if the profit margin is narrow as a result.
Anyway, I have digital copies of all of the designs, which are entirely mine, I came up with them and executed the digital design myself. They aren't bad, but they are not at the resolution quality, or to the dimensions or format that cafepress requires.
I want them to look as good as possible and my current computer, design program (not Photoshop, cause I run Linux) and meager design skills won't allow me to meet their requirements effectively.
SO here's the reason for the post:
Are any of my bald bros design/photoshop savvy enough to take these designs and set them up for me to submit to cafepress? I don't have much to offer outside of my undying appreciation and a percentage of sales.
The eventual idea will be to raise money with the initial sales, source out a more profit intensive production service and start to see something of a profit over time. But for now, I need to get it started up for as minimal an investment as possible.
So, anybody game to give it a go?
Please message me of you up to give it a try...
Thanks in advance to any takers. I appreciate the help.

Hey Vash, I myself cannot draw, or desighn anything worth crap, how ever my brother is a graffic desighner by trade, now he's a Detective for the Toronto police force, but he and his wife have a home based buisness in graffic desighn. He is also very good with photo shop and various other programs to get the job done right. If you want to e-mail me at chromenut@sympatico.ca (http://chromenut@sympatico.ca) with your desighns, and what you would like done, I'm sure I could call in a favour, and get him to do what's needed for you.
