This is the url to the Facebook group my friend Steven Holliday created. It features his artwork, but it isn't just any artwork. He designs apparel most commonly decorated with famous faces. His work is so inspiring to me. Most of his pieces are so accurate and detailed. His accuracy is really one of the main reasons I find his work so intriguing. I also feel his medium is perfect for the age group his work is focused towards.
Interesting idea for an artist to pursue. Can you tell your readers a little bit more about the history of this artist, or the history of the T-shirt as a "canvas" for art or a billboard of messages?

In the early 1950s several companies based in Miami, Florida, started to decorate T-shirts with different resort names and various characters. The first company was Tropix Togs, under founder Sam Kantor, in Miami. They were the original license for Walt Disney characters that included Mickey Mouse and Davy Crockett. Later other companies expanded into the T-shirt printing business that included Sherry Manufacturing Company also based in Miami. Sherry started in 1948 by its owner and founder Quinton Sandler as a screen print scarf business and evolved into one of the largest screen printed resort and licensed apparel companies in the United States.
