was thinking (I know that is a paradox being that I am a Groo fan and all, but…),
if getting some artwork from Sergio for a Groop-specific T-shirt is most likely
NOT an option has anyone considered the possibility of producing a Groop-designed
shirt with Groop-submitted Groo artwork? I know the “Did I Err??”
T-shirt is obviously nice and quite appropriate, but what if it was backed-up
by some visual fan-made correlating artwork?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><span style='mso-tab-count:1'> </span>We
have clearly seen some Groopies have serious artistic talent. Maybe we could hold
some sort of contest where some Groopies submit possibilities and everyone votes.
Heck, maybe the vast majority of us Groopies do NOT have any artistic talent,
so there might not even be many submissions. If that is the case, maybe we could
even pull off a T-shirt with ALL the submitted imagery… on the front,
back, and possibly even the sleeves. Although I am not sure if the sleeves would
be a real option if the T-shirts are orange and sleeveless in the spirit of
Groo’s orange tunic. While I like imagery on sleeves (I am a biker/messenger
and have a nice little cycle jersey collection with such sleeve designs) I
totally like the idea of having a sleeveless shirt like Groo!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><span style='mso-tab-count:1'> </span>Even
if we could not get the sleeves as part of the “canvas” we could
certainly fill up the front and back. In the spirit of Sergio’s
ultra-detailed and filled in style, having multiple fan-submitted pieces
plastered all over the T-shirt I think would be awesome! It would be the epitome
of fan-dom. I could not imagine Sergio and Mark NOT liking it. Naturally we
would be giving Groop T-shirts to all the Groo creative Crew for free (to win
their favor as Groo gods or somehow just legitimize the project from being
completely dorky), but MAYBE the shirt might be so cool we might even get/convince/trick/drug
Sergio to buy one! </span></font><font size=2 face=Wingdings><span

now with SO MANY things going on, I think it would be best to hold off on this though.

is the motor-city T-shirt acquisition plan too. The San Diego Comic Con is coming
up as well, so there will probably be a bunch of people coordinating efforts.
Of course on top of all of these are the long awaited upcoming releases, which
have everyone stirred up like a bunch of piranhas in a bucket of blood. </span></font><font
