Topic: Getting a shirt made.

I was goofing around in photoshop after seeing Sin City..again..and I decided to make a t-shirt design. Little did I know how much I was going to want this shirt. But I'm not sure how/where to get it done so as it doesn't come out looking like shit or fading when I put it in the wash (like my last shirt I had made). Any suggestions on getting it done?

That is pretty cool. If it's of a high enough resolution and you can clean it up, iron-on transfers are pretty cheap. But you get what you pay for; they peel off like paint chips after a few times through the wash.
A Kansas City Shuffle is when everybody looks right, you go left.

It's not something people hear about.

I'd saye CafePress but I doubt they'd let you make a T-shirt out of copyrighted material.

They will, if you don't publish it for purchase (I think...)

And they don't do anything on black material.

Try finding a screen printer near you.

No professional screen printer is going to put that on a shirt. We wanted Napoleon Dynamite shirts for our senior t-shirt this year and they wouldn't do it because of copyright laws.

You may check anyway, though, maybe they'll still do it if you're only getting one, or something.

Maybe an independant one would?

Or, you can teach yourself screen printing.. I've done it before... It's hard and mine turned out like crap.. But yeah...

Learn how to stencil, there isn't much to it. SA has some good threads on it in the creative convention, assuming you have an account.

Holy crap, that shirt would rule.

Let me know if you can find out a way to get it made -- I know I and a buddy here at school would love one of em.

Maybe you should propose the idea to the folks who made the movie Not that they'd listen, but hey, you could say you tried.

Any High-Schools near you have a Graphic-Arts class?

All you have to do is Print what you want to be color as Black on a white sheet of paper, use a giant camera to make a transparency (vellum is it?) then burn that to an emulsion screen, wrinse dry, Align, make shirts.

Just have to buddy-up with a graphic arts teacher.
