T-shirt

This was definitely a fun project to come up with and a lot of work to setup. I thought about painting a picture on a ton of my old shirts kinda like the jean picture but then decided to make it better for other people (not just me). I went to Target and bought 32 T-shirts and started planning this thing out. The idea sounded pretty straight forward to me, but it got to be a lot of work. I had to put something inbetween the layers of the shirt so the ink didn’t push through to the back, so I had to cut a ton of ply wood. Then I had took all the wood and shirts, sat down, and put the wood into the shirts (took a few hours) ugh. At this point I had a stack of shirts leaning up against the wall and I was trying to figure out how to attach them to the wall. This was difficult because I knew I couldn’t damage them in some way. I went through a few ideas and settled on putting a 1×2inch board across and hammering nails into the board as supports for the shirts to rest on. Then I put up a bunch of draping to make it look clean and sharp against the wall.

I started this piece with the clear idea of the picture I wanted to make and how. I wanted to make the piece with stars and so I had to make a stamp. I went to the grocery store and bought a sponge (I had to wring it out in the sink a ton because it comes damp). I cut out a star and had to make a little contraption to hold the sponge and give it even pressure when used.

Earlier in the week I had gone to the art store and found some screen printing ink which is of course perfect for this application as well. So I was ready to get started.

I had the cams all set up and started stamping. Some of the shirts weren’t attached really well so they got pushed around a little bit. There wasn’t a lot of questions going into the piece because I spent a good amount of time planing. And quite frankly there isn’t a lot to say about the creation part because it just involved a lot of stamping.

You may be wondering why I picked this image and who would want a T-shirt of this right? Well if you think about the shirts individually they are quite different than the entire image. You could be walking around with this shirt on and it looks like a happy shirt with lots of bright stars on it. That is the reason I picked this subject and the medium. I wanted something that came across substantially different between the small segments and the entire piece.

hope you enjoyed this weeks installment
take care

    Well I been around here for a while and I found what I needed, but the points this post has touched are really amazing, everyone’s trying to either copy or follow the same thing again and again, and most of the time get really hurtled by this. I think this being the first post to really post something out of the box will really help me and many others. I think trying this is really worth. It will not be wastage of time coz in any case this will never harm our campaigns for good serps.

  10. A quick survey of the prevailing market price of Viagra tablets will suggest that at this rate, only the elitist few will be afford a constant use of the little blue pills, an especially worrying trend.

  11. That rss feature on your site here is amazing, you should tell people about it in your upcoming post. I haven’t noted it for the first couple of times, now I’m using it every morning to check on any updates. I’m on a rattling slow dial-up connection in Germany and it’s rather hindering to sit there and wait for such a long time ’til the page loads… but hey, I just found your rss page and added it to the Google Reader and there you are… I’m always up-to-date! Well buddy, keep up the good work and make that rss button a little bigger so that other people can enjoy that as well :-P

    The M-1965 Field Jacket , also known as the m65 jacket is a popular field jacket designed for the U.S. military. The m65 field jacket has been around for many years. It was introduced into US military service in 1965 to replace the M-1951 field jacket, an evolution of a Second World War design, the M-1943 field jacket. The m65 field jacket was widely used by United States troops during the Vietnam War in which the jacket became useful for troops serving in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam, as well as keeping a soldier warm from the cool weather conditions that came after monsoonal rains.
