Have you considered selling your art on one of those design-your-own T-shirt websites?

She's the lead singer of my favorite band, Kittie. She's the blond one in the drawings.

Well, she's not nessicarly stealing it. She did give me credit for it. She just asked if she could use it for a couple of her personal pages. It gives me some publicity because she has a lot of people that go to her MySpace and Facebook, but it doesn't result in sales because I don't sell my art (I have to have PayPal to sell art on deviantart.com and I need a bank account for that and I don't have money to open a bank account). It more about that my idol liked my artwork and personally told me so rather than the publicity...and this is the second time she's complimented me on a piece of my artwork. Its pretty awesome seeing them in her photo galleries...and the latest one is the avatar on her MySpace page now. :)
