Calling All Artists - Artwork Contest for the Swag Haus! 11

Shroomerites! 
Here's hoping that you are staying safe, healthy and happy amidst this all around crappy coronavirus pandemic. Seeing as a lot of us are cooped up and unable to do some of the things that we used to enjoy, we're sending out a call to our creative community to break out your pens, pencils and paints to create Shroomery history! We are looking for fresh artwork that can be featured in our Swag Haus online store. Having witnessed a whole lot of really great member created art over the years, it would be an honor to feature more of it, with the added benefit of supporting our website and community.
What you create is totally up to you... it could be a psychedelic pattern, a realistic or abstract drawing of mushrooms or trees, something that says "Shroomery" (or not!) or quite literally anything your mind can conjure up! Ultimately, it should be something that will appeal to our community members, because when we are done collecting submissions, we will put up a poll to rank the designs by popular vote, and that popular vote will be one of the methods used in awarding prizes to our participants. You can take a look at the store to get an idea of what kind of products we might use your work on. Then once your creative juices are flowing freely and you've laid down your masterpiece, all you have to do is post it in this thread. Submissions will be accepted through August 10th, after which we will create a community poll to determine the people's choice!
Prizes!  
- Everyone who submits a piece of art will be awarded a 3 month supporter account.
- If we use your art, you will receive one of each item it is used on, along with a one year supporter account.
- If you win the popular vote, you receive a $200 coupon* to use in the Swag Haus, on top of any complimentary item(s) your art may be used on, and a one year supporter account.
- If you place second in the popular vote, you receive a $50 coupon* to use in the Swag Haus, on top of any complimentary item(s) your art may be used on, and a one year supporter account.
- If you place third in the popular vote, you receive a $25 coupon* to use in the Swag Haus, on top of any complimentary item(s) your art may be used on, and a one year supporter account.
Artwork Guidelines
- Bigger is better! Because we may use your design on different products, please provide the highest resolution copy you can.
- Minimum digital size of 1000 pixels in height or width. Print resolution is 300dpi. Example: designs intended to be 7 inches across must be 7 x 300 = 2100 pixels wide in digital format.
- PNG file format with full background transparency is appreciated, however if you can't accommodate this request, please try to provide an image where the background is plain white.
- Don't be discouraged! If you have some great art to share and only a cell phone to snap a picture for upload, we can probably still work with it! Just make sure your camera is set to its highest resolution and that you take the photo on a flat surface with good lighting so that there aren't any weird shadow or angle artifacts, which can be difficult to correct for printing.
Other Stuff/Legal... 
- Members may submit more than one piece of art for consideration, however only one 3 month supporter account will be awarded per participant.
- Members who submit more than one piece of art remain eligible to win both popular vote awards.
- By submitting artwork you attest that it is your own original work and are granting explicit permission to us for the use of your artwork on any products we may feature in our online store, including on printed and promotional materials and on future website updates.
- You also understand that your artwork may be modified, typically to ensure the highest quality print, as some design elements or styles cannot be easily recreated on various surfaces or with various printing techniques.
- Depending on the overall quality/printability of submissions received, it is possible that your art will not be used for a product, even if it wins a popular vote.
- *Swag Haus coupons do not cover shipping expenses.

Sharpie on Notebook Paper. Image Taken with a flip phone.
I stink at drawing, and I'm no good with fonts, but maybe someone more artistic can improve upon the idea, make it better. Maybe wrap "shroomery" below the skull, and "2020" above it. Just throwin an idea out there. Thought it'd be neat lookin real big on the front of a t shirt.
I think I should have drawn it with the skull sitting flat though

Looking great.
Perhaps some trich and other molds on the skull, and the healthiest shrooms on top?

Here is my entry—if needed I can supply the vector PSD file as well as the color codes for printing.

In general I think the designs should be printed over dark colors, some examples below:

And what it would look like on a shirt:

Just a heads up, 7 x 300 = 2100.

Oops! 
My original draft of this post had a 5" example, but I figured that just in case someone decides to use the example as a baseline expectation, I up it to 7" to encourage larger images. Unfortunately, it seems I only updated half of the equation. 
Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
Thanks also to Fleabag Friend and Bartleby for submitting designs! They're both cool in their own right, and I can't wait to see what else pops up in here.

If you've already uploaded your image(s) to another website, by all means please go ahead and link the image. Although, we surely welcome you to upload it to your own gallery, for continuity.

Hey, how about my profile pic? (I actually made that offer when I first put it up)
OG image is a high resolution scan of a standard 8.5x11 paper, drawn with sharpie (and some pen lines). Not sure if that's visible or not from the website side. Lemme know if I need to upload separately somehow.
I've actually printed it on a white shirt for my own use before, it turns out quite well.

Give me a basic idea of what you’ve got in mind and I’ll draw it. No referring to the store.
