Hmmm...
The first design is kinda eh.... It just seems sorta off.....
The second one is REALLY hard to make out. It took me a good minute to realize what it is. Also, how do you plan on printing that wood grain background? Something like that is nearly impossible to print; and printing it would require mass amounts of money per shirt....
So yeah... Good effort; but keep trying.

*edit*
after looking over you website I was wondering; have any of your t-shirt designs gone to print? Most of them look impossible to print. So I was wondering.
Also, how old are you?

I definitely agree with the last reply. Although the creativity is definitely there, there is some real difficulty trying to figure out what is going on with the images. I definitely like the first one (green shirt) better, but I can't tell what kind of cart that is he's flying off. Maybe they only have those in the UK?

Also on the 2nd one, I also had to stare and strain my eyes until I made out the image, and I still can't figure out what is across the soldier's chest. Ammo? It does look like it would be hard to print.

You definitely have some creativeness and abilities, but you may have been trying too hard. I think you need a more cohesive vision.

I fixed your link for you.

Well I wouldn't say impossible to print, Just damn expensive.
Except for Polaroid (and possibly Track). They may be impossible.
Do you know what seps are?
Or spot colors?
Have you visited a T-shirt printer?

The surfer is waaay cool! the gradient would be a bitch to get right using screens. Dye-sub wouldn't work on a dark shirt and doesn't print white. You do have ability. You need to do a little printing research.

PD is a grande format digital print dude. His advice/opinions may not apply to the 4color/offset/web world of printing

my biggest concern is how you plan to print these...

I'm in the textile screen printing industryand see no real problem in printing these...I'm not sure where everyone is coming from on this. You should see the customer supplied designsthat roll across my desk everyday, these would be a pleasure...the first one is just a high contrast one color, the wood grain one is at least three colors, but could be done in two.

Keep in mind...it's only a t-shirt... http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/emoticons/smilewinkgrin.gif
