that's darn gewd.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

I took the picture and put it in photoshop, then made a clear layer on top of it and traced the basic shape off his shirt with white lines. Then I moved those lines to paint (ahhhh paint) and fiddled around with it for 2 or 3 hours. The joys of being home all day.

not to ruin any ideas about this, but I asked my art teacher today on how to put designs from paper and put it on a t-shirt, she said go a place like Kinko's that will copy anything you want. Give them the design and they will copy it onto a paper that will transfer the design to the shirt by using a hot iron

Thanks so much for getting the picture for me (and of course everyone else who wants it). I really appreciate it.

my friends in a silkscreening class at school, and she gets to put designs on shirts. it takes forver though, to get the lines straigt and all. i wonder how long this would take her, so far all she's done is writing.

Now that I think about it more, that Naveed sign would look pretty badass on my axe.

Can't you buy paper like that in stores that you can print designs straight on to?

yep, but you have to have the program to make the image like a mirror so when you iron it on it wont be backward, I can do that with my Micrographix Picture Publisher. Also if you take it to a kinko's or somewhere like that it'll look more professional. If you do the transfering at home with a hot iron, you usually can't put the shirt in a washing machine and you can't put laundry detergent on the design. You have to clean it by using only fabric softer. But its cheap to do it at home. So there are pros and cons.

I tried to make an OLP shirt for myself with my own printer and some of that paper. It didn't work out well...

Only a small part of the picture (a full paged high-quality version of what's in my avatar), and that small part came off in one wash.

Well, at least I got a white shirt for work out of it...
