T-shirt

You may be surprised that we recommend a t-shirt as a souvenir, but after seeing the folk artists' paintings on ordinary t-shirts,you will want to buy a few. Artists will paint on a t-shirt what you'd like him to paint, such as a landscape, a figure, or flowers and birds, and this takes just 15 minutes. Wearing such a t-shirt lets you show off your own style, which is quite a popular thing to do among the youth.
