From paper to fabric

Hello!

I have produced countless, what can I say, geometric abstract pencil drawings, some of which are pretty cool but obviously not to everyone's taste.
I have scanned the best ones for view on this website. Please take a quick look.

My question is what is the best strategy to approach / get companies to be interested in using them on either their clothes (e.g. T-shirts) or any surface that would act as a major attractive logo to encourage sales?

I am actually looking for a partner who has the either the acumen, genuine interest in working with me and willingness to this project a long way...

Any feedback would be good...

Great Idea Nick
I have actually loads of information on graphic design companies in parts of the world, I did some research of my own a while ago for my pyjama designs..the best is fabric print, digital screen printing, the more t shirts the better and cheaper it is in the long run- I would by the t shirts wholesale from ebay in china for a start- because I guess if you want comanies/ stores to be interested in them you need some kind of samples to show them- thats the hardest part- if you have great sales skills yourself you might be lucky- your designs would be awesome in skateboard stores- I think selling them at the local markets or areas were theres a funky croud would get your designs out there- as I did for my pyjamas- a friend of mine had a store already so I took that to advantage and snuck some of my stuff in...theres a few options though, you can get transfer paper and do it all yourself, on caps and stuff- its the cheaper option- even the second hand clothing stores have some cool new clothes you could print designs on...
I read an article once on one of the guys who owns a surf label- he had $50 and decided to use one of his designs and get a couple of t.shirts made up- his mate helped him out by calling the stores asking for the brand- and so thats when he got orders in...hes now a millionare...
anyway- its easy to get it going- I would do it all yourself though- that was my biggest mistake, starting to go into business with someone wasnt to good- unless you already find someone who has the equipment !! would be handy- you just provide the designs..
way to much info-
but cool idea............
