I printed Antler Girl
This is my second shirt. I really love this piece. I'm already working on my next one for a local band I'll post when it's done.

Man… and all I have planned is a rewatch of True Detective S01 😅
In fairness that's the best show to ever grace television 😂
Seriously one of my favorites. I really want a slightly expanded story for the meathamphetamine cook… like even a comic book 😎 Dude just rolling around half naked, getting beer, doing his laundry, watching TV —always wearing his gas mask 🤣
She’s pretty horny.
Did you make the shirt yourself or are you using a service which prints it on?
Glad you asked! I do the whole thing myself. I have a handyman business, and it was cheaper to build a t shirt factory than it was to outfit my whole crew from a local print shop. I've always considered myself an artist first, so being able to work in a new medium SLAPS it feels so good. Now I'm even getting contracted from local bands to make their t shirts, which is huge for me and very exciting
That's pretty cool!
Can you tell me abit about how you do it? I would love to print my my stuff on shirts too but I have no idea how realistic that would be :D
Sure! First I draw whatever on a piece of paper. Then I take a picture of it and trace it in Krita. I take that and import it to InkScape to convert to an SVG. Then I put that SVG on a 13x19 canvas so I can print it to a transparency.
The transparency then gets burned to a screen with an LED light that, frankly, sucks. I wash them out in the shower and then they're ready to print! It's not hard 👍
