Shirt designs from "Back in the Day"

I used to make my living doing this. I still do a few designs for those that really want something of my particular style. Here are few from days gone by, and most are close to ten years old now. These are all drawn by hand in pencil first, then with pen and ink, then scanned with the color work done on the 'puter.

What would you charge to design a shirt? You know, in case some young, impressionable soul like myself was interested in such shiny colorful stuff...
 
These days, I'm semi retired and I try to price the stuff so I won't have to actually work. A design such as these takes about 6-8 hours to do.

My last design, completed just a couple weeks ago, was $500. The client didn't even hesitate when I quoted it. And I said to myself, "Self, you should have priced it higher!"

Thanks fer lookin'!
