Here’s a woodcut I carved of a weirdo tyrannosaur. I think he could look good on a tee-shirt, maybe in rendered in pastel colors. His embryonic stressball look makes me think of pink, chartreuse, and lavender colors… But if you make a tee-shirt out of him, you can color him however you want!
I’d like to see maybe a cartoon hound with shovel in one hand, big gemstone in the other and a big slobbery smile! Kind of retro 60’s cartoonish..
Like these?

Looks like I may be a day late for the contest. Anyway, my suggestion would be to do a design that incorporates barite rose rocks.
Not at all late! We have a whole month to go — pass it on!
How about –
“Let’s Rock” maybe with that barite rose that was suggested or a cystal cluster.
Or,
“Is that a rock in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?” With a pic of a quartz sceptor. (Too racey?)
Or,
“Digger” pic (rockhound with pick / shovel”) and
“I’m into rocks! – Can you dig it?”
or
“Caution! Rock Licker!”
Pic of rockhound licking a rock – and don’t tell me you’ve never done it.
or
Highway caution sign (yellow diamond)
“Watch for rocks”
or
“Caution – I brake for rocks”
or
“I’m synclined to love rockhounds”
or
“Old rockhounds never die, they just slowly petrify”
or
Pic of rock hound with a boulder
“Why didn’t I just collect stamps?”
How about a shirt that looks like the Budweiser logo and have it say “Morrisonite the King of Jaspers”
how bout a scared rock running and at the bottom NO ROCK IS SAFE haha
Here’s a shot of a bismuth xl. there is more on my flickr site.
