    Working on a t-shirt for men's cancer awareness month, need ideas!

    I will be participating in several 5k runs this year and several are at various cancer awareness events.

    in the process of noodling together a t-shirt design to wear to promote testicular cancer awareness.... I could use some ideas for the artwork to go with a "kilted for cancer" type slogan, tonight I started doodling on an envelope without much focus, just getting the thoughts out on paper.

    I need your thoughts and ideas to get my brain in gear and my pen to paper, the current sketch is pretty rough, and needs to be better proportioned and the musculature worked out but the idea is , a blue ribbon (possibly orchid) is clenched in one hand, the other hand I wasn't sure on so it's sort of meh...

    Anyhoo, I need your ideas rabble!!!

    for Testicular Cancer, how about showing some dudes from the back, with their kilts raised in the front and simple say "Check 'em".

    As a cancer survivor I appreciate your work. Thank you. Also have a collection of kilted for cancer type shirts...but they're already done....my favorite has a kilted firefighter a bit risqué but with the "get checked" message. Not so risqué one couldn't wear in in public...and for a good cause.

    Maybe something along the lines of kilts making check ups easier...I gotta be so careful...don't want anyone to think I'm risqué or inappropriate...I hope you come up with a great idea though and let me know - I wanna buy one for my kilted for cancer t-shirt collection.

    I do like kallen's idea. That is pretty darn good for 'rough' sketch!

    I don't think this will ever get beyond a single shirt for myself to wear, so I wouldn't line up to get em, just hunting for inspiration!

    Grain,
    A single shirt would be a shame. Once your done, maybe you could team up with the "Kilted To Kick Cancer" folks and they could take over the printing duties with shared proceeds. Like River, I know that I'd buy one.
