I'm going to be making a few t-shirts (not selling, just for myself). I have a lot of ideas for images and so I'm indesisive. Do any of you have an image that would be cool on a t-shirt? Or any ideas for this project?

Any input would be good.

i had done a couple designs for some "geek" tshirts, but the project has fallen through. besides, www.thinkgeek.com has some cool ones already

you should post some of your designs so we can get a feel for what you want.

Ok let me see what I can find to post.

small kids with huge glasses always look cool on t-shirts :]

Ok so I'm looking through my images... and they all boldly display my feelings of dispair and depression... angst or whatever you would like to call it.. I can't display my dispair on a t-shirt.

Well, this is pretty old (and VERY silly), but it's made the occasional cameo on the T-shirt scene:

Jess, how are you printing the tshirts? I heard something about a screenprint frame, but it's hard to get multiple colors in that...

I'm gonna make a tshirt that says Cunning Linguist =D

Iron on transfers

This has done the rounds as a T-shirt a few times. I also had one guy ask me if he could get it tattooed, but I'm not sure if he ever did...

What would you be transferring it from? You print it out on some kind of paper or something?

From Iron-on Transfers, special paper which you can print on, then put over material, iron over and the image is transfered to the material. Good stuff. @:-)

Yes exactly.

The skeleton is very cool, a little too scary for what I'm doing though.

I don't know... I'm trying to stear away from the bad trendy logos like "I make boys cry" or "bad kitty" "sexy"... stupid stuff like that. I thought about this one image I made a year ago of a girl hanging... but still not sure. Then I thought maybe this Radiohead image I found but isn't that stealing or something? Not that Radiohead would care. Anyway, I thought maybe you guys might have something cool you might like to see on a t-shirt.... I'll post a picture of it when it's done.

still unsure about these and looking for new ideas and images.

strata · Posted: Mon Feb 19, 2001 1:47 am

so what would the image size/dpi be to get good results on the print using this technique? =)

But don't you think he's cute? He's from the Hello Kitty family.
