Red face Where are all the Barack Obama designs coming from?

Hello, Wondering where I can get some Obama designs so I can Screen print it?

Obama is getting a lot of people money.
Everywhere I go I see someone with Obama T-shirts selling going for $15 and $20.00.

I want some of that Obama money too.

It's easy to come up with simple designs like words, ect. But, coming from a beginner i'll never be able to come up with a design that will sell as far as a picture of Obama.
So if any of you have any insite Please make me aware of it.

Thanks in advance.

People are designing their own t-shirts and selling them.

You would need to either create your own design or hire someone to create a design for you.

With services like CafePress, Zazzle, Spreadshirt, and other Print on Demand companies, anybody with some design skills can upload a design and put it out there for sale on t-shirts with ease.

I guess this presidential election is going to be such a bonus for T-shirt makers given the number of Obama T-shirts already.

Thank you Obey and Shepard Fairey. Amazing. Until he did his designs no real companies were endorsing candidates for this election.

Obama's campaign itself has been using shirts pretty inventively in fundraising lately. There were recent promotions for an exclusive design on an organic "green" shirt and an exclusive logo treatment. Both were "donate $30 and get a free shirt" and offered for a limited time.

You've got to understand, firstly it takes a LOT of time to do designs like these. Secondly it takes a LOT of time to learn to do designs like these, then it takes a lot of time to learn to seperate the screens for printing. Lastly the shirts sell- therefore they make money.

You've got to sacrifice something to get something.

I haven't checked, but I'm sure you can buy Obama designs any place they sell stock photos, vectors, and jpegs.
