Irl I lol'd

I'd like to do a study to see how much time is saved using abreviations like that...

Yeah abbreviations tend to piss me off. I only really use them for ironic purposes.

re: shirts

'yay!'

I heard cafepress is pretty janky, and I have seen it and it's just not attractive. I think you should diy irl, imho. If it's basic, you can do it the fabric medium/acetate stencil route or screenprinting ink/acetate stencil other route. As long as it's basic, I guess. You can get aa shirts pretty cheaply too.

do you really want tshirts made by people who make this?

I was actually thinking about just having them handle the printing and shipping, which would take less time for me.

It might be cool to do some spraypaint stencil shirts, but I'm not sure about the durability of spraypaint, you know?

spraypaint cracks bad, even the good stuff.
i know you're handy with the x-acto, you can do this.
i'd help you?

I am quite crafty with the exacto. What's good for staining a shirt?

What do you have in mind in terms of helping?

The glorious american apparel factory is about 5 miles from my apartment = inexpensive tshirts. I'd give you directions as well? Spiritual guidance? Moral support? Bake cookies?

There's this stuff that liquitex makes, it's called fabric medium. You mix it with equal parts acrylic paint and medium, put it on the shirt, heat set it. Almost screen printing ink. I've also seen stencil artists make shirts with actual screening ink.

All done with screenprinting ink, stencils, and a steady hand. His art work ain't half bad either. Eat it up!

oh, and I have actually done it myself, but not on t-shirts.

There really should be an edit function.

Damn, I like this one:

How much is 'cheap' for an AA shirt?

Per the edit function: that's a shitload of code that I really don't have the time to write at the moment :D

404'd!!

Those stencil type shirts from ghostpatrol.net/tshirts.htm turned out really well. If you did stencil style shirts with the Elvis MTC picture or something, that would be so kick ass!

American Apparel shirts are fantastic... that's what Threadless prints on and I love them shirts.

Also, I have about 5 different methods of producing pretty damn decent stencil shirts with acrylic paint.

AND I can wield a mean exacto.

If you don't end up doing that and want to take an easier way out, my friend does shirts and they're basic but decent. He did jackson and I's bowling tshirts...corey has seen them. COrey's probably still mad that we didn't have one for him though, but that's what he gets for joining the team the second year

galaxiepi, thank you for knowing what Threadless. Isn't that a kickass site? I've got a few designs I want to submit to them, but I haven't gotten around to it.

Threadless' reputation got ruined by those damn scenesters.

Reputation, shmeputation. It's still awesome. I will now point to the photo on my profile of me wearing the "Communist Party" shirt for further evidence of such.
