Hi everyone,

I have an idea to create a t-shirt line (sort of like the Ed Hardy line) but targeted toward people of color. Here's the problem: I can't draw. While I'm pretty crafty, figure drawing just isn't my thing. I know exactly how I want the drawings to look, but have no skill in translating the vision onto paper. Hire and artist right? But now, will the idea now become the artist's? Is there a way to protect my idea once this artist puts it to paper? Will it become 50/50? Should I just take an art class?:) Just wondering. I'm going too start a business plan, but this was one of the questions rolling through my head.
