I'm concerned that the art is cluttered and is setup to be painted/airbrushed etc --- not commercial silk screening.

QUESTION...
To have a shirt that looks like this would everyone pay $30-40 each? The silk screening would require 6-8 plates and an indepth color break.

I'll pay $30... but I"m concerned everyone "falls in love with a cheerleader and forgets they're a fat lazy unemployed pig in return"

Who you callin unemployed? :lol: :lol:

I've walked down the Tshirt road many times...

Spot color won't look anything close to process color

I'm calm... just helping set expectations.

As I posted with this art. Expect this on a gray t-shirt with shoptalkforums.com above the artwork.. Like I said earlier the color one is not for the T-shirt, maybe a decal we will see.

Might thin out SOME of the background but that is about it for changes on this run.

Ok...

Didn't have time to waste on concept stuff...


We could go one color

Something like this would be 2 color w/spot

Someone Suggested a window sticker (to piss off the sierra club)

This one could work with single color

Can prep with the right scan and save formatting....

A few things to nail down and yes I do plan on sending artwork off as soon as I pay and get the originals from Garry,soon as they approve artwork we will have shirts soon after. I asked Garry if it would be possible to make the STF little smaller and possibly try differnet banner color to me it takes to much away from the scene. So for now two colors possibly the colors you see on this one.

i like the font. not big on the banner but i guess its ok. mnairhead, your ideas dont look so good, sorry. i think the back ground is alittle cluttered. but it looks better with something there. like i said before if it where on the dunes there would be way less noise back there and still look cool. if we are going to give the rigs color they need to be different colors. i guess my .02 cents

mnairhead
you have to remember just because YOU dont like the desing does not meen that everyone should change there ideas. i think leather has done a bang up job on getting the ball rolling on this. just because YOU have not been able to get shirts done cheap or in more them two colors in the past. does not meen leather will not be able to.

Leatherneck you have done an excellent job, every pic of the artwork you post just keeps getting better. I am glad you are in controll and Gary Mayer is working with You. Next time you pass thru Georgia you need to stop by and have a Beer or two. Unless you like the hard stuff.
Hot, humid air is less dense than cooler, drier air. This can allow a golf ball to fly through the air with greater ease, as there won't be as much resistance on the ball.

Please do a mock up and post it...

My opinion is being held to myself... I volunteered to coordinate the color separation... there are some rules to live within... spot color arbitrarily thrown on a toon looks blotchy.. fewer items are easier to fill.

Will you (or someone) please volunteer to arrange the color sep with mechanicals and digitial?.. otherwise this is another $200-300 for prep... I'll do it if folks appreciate it.
