Calling all illustration fans...

Whilst on my trip to London I spotted a little T shirt shop which contains some rather nice little ditties, for those of us who like a bit of illustration, take a look at these...

They also let you submit your artwork, and if they like it you could see someone walking down the street donning your design on their back, so put pencil to paper and get scribbling!!
