Kinda Sorta OK at Smash
Since I've pretty much completely retired from smash at this point (I can't keep up with all the youngsters these days) I figure that I could still be a part of the community by doing something that I was known for outside of the game. That is making t-shirts.
For those who don't know, or weren't around for it, I was the guy that did the shirts for Melee FC 3 and FC 6. My t-shirts for the FC series was as successful as it could have been, as each time they ordered 100 shirts and both times they were sold out by the end of the first day of the event.
Here are some amazingly old pictures of the shirts I did:

Needless to say I'm much better at doing this stuff than I was back then. I have a degree in graphic design, am better at illustrating, and I'm fairly good a digital painting.
In any case, if anyone running a tournament is interested in getting t-shirts made up for their event, I could whip up something for you. I'll take a cut, obviously, but I can make them well. Also consider that my track record is 100% sold out on the shirts I made.
There are a couple of other things to note. I won't be able to use Nintendo characters on these anymore. The group that I make the t-shirts through (they are cheaper than those ****ty internet stores and print digitally on shirts) are worried about legal concerns of copyright characters. That shouldn't be an issue though, cause I can make cool logos for your tournament that draw from smash without infringing on Nintendo.
Here are some examples of blinged out logos that I've done:

I can also do other promotional materials such as posters, flyers, etc. I can design websites (although I still suck at coding them, so I'd prefer to just design it if I can get away with it) and other things.
