A t-shirt idea...Any thoughts on the screen printing process or the design itself?


EDIT - In order to stay on topic, this is a picture of a track god, to be worn on my fixed gear. What kind of messenger bag should be worn with this shirt?

EDIT x2 - I've removed the pic. Sorry.

Yeah, the cap is a little square-ish. And I traced it. I'm not that good free hand.

wouldn't the text have to be backwards to print correctly?

No, text is printed normally when burning a screen.

I think this tee-shirt is awesome. It kinda reminds me of the Jesus is my Homeboy shirts that where around a few years ago. Almost outsider art like Henry Darger.

Paul Frank has already capitalized on the Eddy thing with a screen shot of him crossing the line with his hands in the air and letters that says "Don't Be A Hater" sold at your nearest Urban Outfitters.

Looks like the cannibal has lost some weight, too. Weren't the doctors on him about it (edit: being too tubby, that is)?

Way to go, fanboy! :D
