Default Need elemetary advice about starting t-shirt biz in L.A.

I doodle line drawings that are very small (literally the size of the nail of my thumb). They look kinda like Picasso / Matisse faces.

I want to enlarge them and print them in a light blue ink on a black t-shirt. I want the design to have a hair-thin outline (tight registration) of white, to pop the design off the shirt.

What is the best process? Where should I go in the L.A. area for the best price / quality? Since I'm just getting started, I would like too get my feet wet with a fairly small quanity (under 100).

What are the best t-shirts to use (quality / price). I really like American Apparel shirts. Are they too expensive? What is their wholesale bulk price? What is the minimum order. If he minimum order is 100 could they be a mix of several sizes?

Any other advice about the game would be greatly appreiciated.

Thank you,
The Luna Kid
