Links in here aren't leading to any spam sites, I promise

Background: I do photography and art and am a bass player. I have a shop setup that sells a variety of my art/photo stuff http://www.zazzle.com/susanszoocrew* on all the topics I enjoy.

Recently, when two musician friends were getting married I found out the selection of musician themed products out there was....errr....needing help. So I decided to do a second shop, based on designs for musicians-http://www.zazzle.com/musicianevents* But now......I need help in a direction to go.

What sort of designs would you guys like to see? I'm talking for stuff like weddings, babies, birthdays, maybe gig promo? I don't want to do all the skull/tattoo flash designs, there's enough of those.... I'm trying to figure out what people like to use as far as events concerning/involving musicians....So I've opened a poll

. Feel free to comment too......I like all the opinons I can get

.

These are taken from my first shop, stuff I had put up there....

Do you guys want to see pictures of just instruments, like this:

Would you rather see people actually playing them? (or pieces of people....this is an arty shot)

Would you rather see art of instruments, like so (and real or abstract?)

Would you rather see semi realistic art of people playing the instruments?

(shows one way I'd incorporate art)

Or maybe clip art style stuff (like the background, ignore the text)

Or just flat out abstract musicians perhaps?

Or something else completely? Different style? Different colors? Things you hate seeing?

Thanks for any opinions !

Thanks smoke

. It does make a great background for text!

I like the more abstract stuff as well.

I prefer artwork to pictures, as it would imply more effort was put into it. Anyone can take a picture, and anyone can photoshop some fancy effects in, but nice artwork takes a bit more effort and skill.

Clip art just looks cheap to me.

Line6-
I was thinking the clip art looks cheap myself, but quite honestly when doing things like invitations/keychains/mugs/mousepads that's the stuff that actually gets sales! I'm hoping musicians have better taste!
