I've had some requests for shirts with my artwork, so I've opened up a new Cafe Press store. You can buy all kinds of t-shirts and apparel printed with the image of one of my most popular gourds, "Desert Fliers". During June, vote below for which gourd should be the next addition to the Arizona Gourds Cafe Press store. I'll add the gourd that gets the most votes, and you'll be able to wear it on a shirt! http://www.cafepress.com/ArizonaGourds
