| D.I.Y. |
| Do It Yourself. Pretty self-explanatory. No profit margins, no sweat-shop workers, and best of all, no greedy corporate backing. Every aspect of the shirt making process is done in the d.i.y. tradition. Therefore, don't be expecting any "glittery-gold-i'm-an-indie-rocker-now" tee shirts that you can buy at Hot Topic for $20. Besides, I can't afford to trade for those. |
| What to Expect |
| The ink colors (and shirt colors) shown on this site are the only ones I can get right now. Maybe that will change later. Who knows? What I do know is that some of the color combinations listed are not exactly what they will look like on the actual shirt. For example, using light colored ink (i.e. yellow) on a dark colored shirt (i.e. dark blue) will not look like the picture shown. The reason? The shirt absorbs the ink into the fibers and fades out the color of the ink somewhat. So that bright yellow urine color turns out to be a little closer to a greenish puke color. So keep that in mind when selecting the shirt. I will ink the shirt up to five times to get it as close as possible to the actual color, so it may not look as bad as green puke. |
| Ink Life |
| I don't know exactly how long the ink lasts. I've had a couple of my shirts for two years now and the ink, although a little faded, can still be read by the elderly. Besides, how long do shirts last anyway? If you're like me, your shirts get a lot of wear and start to show it soon after you break them in. |
| Types of Shirts Used |
| That will depend on what I have. Some will be 100% cotton. Some will be cotton/polyester blends. Some of them might even be Cetyltrymethylammonium Bromide Chitin Cloflucarbon...??? Food additives or not, these shirts will vary. If you have an allergic reaction to or a severe hatred for certain types of fibers, let me know. I'll try to find something else. |
