any of you guys ever make your own stuff? shirts patches whatever.
Sometimes shirts just too hard to find or it flat out dont exist. Like i know for a fact Dementia never had any shirts made. heard it from one of their guitarists. so i decided to make a shirt for them, and decided to make a few more while i was at it.
A friend of mine is drawing me a shirt with toxic green Toxik logo. Well, she's doing that since summer of 05, but I hope that she'll find time to do it soon

home made shirts are the way to go, especially as sizeM shirts are rare as hens teeth these days!
i built my own screen printing press out of recycled materials, total cost was about $25AUD, a decent screen/squegee/emulsion/ink cost about $100AUD, a small run of Countess & Coroner shirts paid for it twice over.
I want to make a Spectral Incursion shirt but to do that I need a hi-res scan of the LP cover, I asked Dan but he never got back to me on that one. I think that cover is pretty much one of the most awesome I've ever seen, so all the better that it's about a band whose music I really enjoy.
Do you really need a higher resolution scan than the one on the site? If you're doing a screen print I don't think it should be necessary. I'll see if I still have a bigass rez tif file of it...
I am not sure if I will need a much bigger scan, but I planned to be on the safe side. I was going to clean it up for printing too, not just drop the file on a black shirt.
I was under the impression you had some bigger scan already, I didn't expect you to rescan it for me, if it's a hassle I'll do with what's there and manual resizing-cleaning.

I'd like to see that cover on a shirt too. That artwork's a fantastic mix of Away & Nick Blinko.
"His name's Antichrist Vandelay. He's an insulter-expulser."
I think I'll go with something like this. I hope it prints well. I fixed the bit that was missing when you put the front cover and the little part of what's left from the back cover together.
I'd really like the insignia of the back scanned bigger, really. The resize/sharpen has done a number on it, but I can live with that, if I have to.
On the note, does anybody know of an internet t-shirt shop where you send them the mockups and clean files and they make+ship the shirts your way?
