Another design by request from Olga who wrote:
I’m an aerospace engineering student and the girl-to-boy ratio at my faculty is less than 1:10! In my rocket-building club, the girl-to-boy ratio is like 1:30! We’re on a campaign to get more girls into rocket science and a t-shirt/cup/logo like that could be a nice morale booster 
Thanks!
Works for me, Olga! Here you go.
This design is now available in the Girls Can’t WHAT? shop on t-shirts, stickers, magnets, hoodies, caps, tote bags and more. Got a club or a team event? Check out the volume discounts.

I do my best to work on the most popular requests first. Join us in the forums to see what’s on my plate, post your vote on the most popular or send me a new request.
If you love to go kayaking, then this design is for you. Actually, it was requested by you. A lot of you! So I figured it was time to get a kayaking design in the shop. Enjoy!
Finding inspiration for new characters is sometimes difficult. But it’s worth the tedious research when I find fabulous videos such as this one from the “Wondering Women of the Whitewater Tribe”. I know next to nothing about these ladies other than they use their kayaking skills to benefit humanity. This video is a perfect example of using one’s passion to help others. Check it out! Read more
Snowboarding has become a popular sport among women and likewise it has been a highly requested Girls Can’t WHAT? design. I took a little more time on this particular drawing because I wanted it show some high-flying action and excitement and yet still capture the “Girls Can’t WHAT?” attitude on her face. Finding just the right model/image to work from proved difficult so I pieced her together from several ideas I had floating around in my head…
As usual, I turned to youtube to get a little inspiration from the 2006 US Women’s Snowboarding team…complete with a soundtrack by the Donnas.

For about two years now I’ve been asked to create an archery design. Not that I’ve been procrastinating on it or anything, but there are just so many cool things to draw that I have to pick and choose. This week, however, I chose the archery design. I thought it was time. To gather some inspiration, I found some great youtube videos of women’s archery like this one:
I mentioned on Twitter and Facebook that I was working on this one and I already have folks lined up to get it. Thanks for your patience and accept my apology for taking so long to get to this one. Hope you enjoy it. I made it in two different styles… one in plain clothes and one in camouflage. Here is a sampling. Select an image to see it in the shop on a variety of archery gifts and t-shirts:

 Girls Can't What? Dark Camouflage Archery |

Let’s hear from you…
Do you shoot a bow and arrow? Do you do bowhunt for wild game or do you prefer targets? We’d love to hear from you. Tell us about your experience in the comments or Share Your Story with us for a chance to win this archery design or any Girls Can’t WHAT? design on a T-shirt of your choosing.
Pssst – For you guys out there…
Girls Can’t WHAT? designs make great gifts for girfriends.
Ha – I can’t believe I just typed that title. We women juggle careers, family responsibilities, relationships, hobbies and SO much more. To say we can’t juggle is crazy talk.
As for the art of juggling, I stink at it. I’ve tried and I can almost do it, but I would need a lot more practice before I could say I can do it. A juggler design was requested a few months ago by a couple of friends and I thought it was a good idea. Then on vacation after watching Merrie Mary do her street performance, I knew I would have to draw one soon. I was able to interview Merrie Mary and I will post her interview shortly.
Meanwhile…here is the juggling design that was just added to the Girls Can’t WHAT? shop.
If you can juggle or have any other amazing skills, please feel free to share your story with us. We’d love to hear from you! And by sharing, you could win a Girls Can’t WHAT? T-shirt.
Living up to my word of drawing the most popular designs first, I am adding a Pastor design to the Girls Can’t WHAT? Collection after receiving an influx of requests for a female preacher. While women pastors are more prevalent these days, they are still few in number. Who says girls can’t preach? Some of my all-time favorite speakers at my church have been highly intelligent and very knowledgeable women.
You can find this and more women pastor designs in the Girls Can’t WHAT? Shop.
Like this one? Leave me some feedback or make a new design request. I’m always looking for ideas.
Update: Here is the modified version.
I’ve been working through the most requested designs as quickly as I can and a water skier has been at the top of the list for a while now. Recently my band mate, Kami, also asked for a water skier so I decided that was a sign to get it finished. You can see this design on a variety of water skiing gifts and t-shirts in the Girls Can’t WHAT? Shop. Enjoy!
PS – I’ve only attempted to water ski one time and I did manage to get up on my feet for about 30 seconds or so. I’ve not had the opportunity to try it since then, but I would definitely give it another shot. It’s a very challenging sport, but it’s a lot of fun! Is anyone out there a professional water skier or been told that girls can’t water ski? If so, please share your story with us.
The violinist design has been on my radar for quite some time as I’ve had multiple requests for it. I love string instruments but the best I can do on a violin is to play a very scratchy D major scale. 
So for those of you that play violin, who are your favorite female violinists? I don’t know that I have any favorite string musicians, but I’m betting you can name some fairly fabulous players and maybe hook me up with a few outstanding YouTube clips.
Until then, here’s my tribute to honor all the women who play violin. Enjoy!

As previously mentioned, education is a big part of being a Revolutionary. The great ladies of history who have propelled women’s rights to where they are today were adamant that education be a part of every girl’s life. Today, more women are graduating with degrees in higher learning, but still not everyone has an equal opportunity to attend a university or even graduate from high school. Oftentimes, women are found graduating from college later in life after the kids are raised.
This Girls Can’t WHAT? Graduate represents sisters, moms, grandmothers, aunts and every woman who has risen to the challenge and completed a course of education to help fulfill their dream. Who says girls can’t earn a degree?
This design currently comes in red, blue and green gowns.
Gymnastics is a popular sport – no question about it. It is one of the most watched events at the Olympics and at the school-age level the competition is pretty steep. I think of all the Girls Can’t WHAT? designs I have created so far, the Gymnast has been the most requested. It’s one of the first activities people mention to me when talking about new character ideas. I intend to do a whole series of gymnastic designs, starting with this one on the balance beam. You can find the Gymnast in the Girls Can’t WHAT? shop on T-shirts and gift items for both adults and kids in a wide range of sizes, colors and options.
If you’re involved in gymnastics and you’ve ever been told you can’t because you’re a girl, please share your story with us.
