T-Shirt for my kid - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

clavus · 12-07-2005, 08:03 PM

Luckily, my kids are still young enough that my mediocre skills with an airbrush are considered fine art. The Iron Giant shirt I made for Clavus Jr. is still his favorite.

Barbarian Child loves dinosaurs. So he'll find this shirt under his Christmas tree.

Clavus - that is AWESOME! I know more than a few kids who would consider that shirt their best gift all year

*monkie still considers herself a kidd too

Very impressive Clavus!!

genuinegirly · 12-08-2005, 12:00 AM

Oh wow!
That takes some skill. Looks like you had some fun with the claws.

Clavus... I am making some T-shirts for my son this Christmas. Did you use those inkjet iron-on things or some other process?

The dinosaur is cool by the way... I am sure the barbarian will love it.

maleficent · 12-08-2005, 04:51 AM

No way, that's airbrush all the way. BTW, have you posted the Iron Giant one?

barenakedladies · 12-08-2005, 06:39 AM

very impressive airbrushing skills.

I dabble in airbrushing myself... but never tried a t shirt before.

Nice work.

Meditrina · 12-08-2005, 07:39 AM

Wow! that is great. Not only would my son love that dinosaur, but he would also love the Iron Giant. Ever consider selling some?

clavus · 12-08-2005, 09:14 AM

Y'all are very sweet. Mister Coaster is correct, it was airbrush...and lots of little bits of paper for the masking.

The Iron giant was never posted. It is not post-worthy, since it has been washed about 5,321,962 times and is pretty faded.

I've never considered selling anything. (I give away just about everything I make.) Believe it or not, that shirt represents about 4 hours of work (it took 3 hours to paint it). I'd have to sell shirts for a LOT of money to beat burger-flipping wages.

He has 'casper the ghost' friendly eyes, even though his teeth tell another story. It might look a little less stark with some background?

how fun that you can do that for your kid, and that he'll love it!

clavus · 12-08-2005, 09:41 AM

I agree. The next shirt I do will have background on it.

Fly · 12-09-2005, 09:22 AM

you are the fuckin' dad dude..........lucky kids you have clavus.

longbough · 12-09-2005, 10:54 AM

I love it!
I'd buy one if I saw it in a store ... for myself.
It's perfect the way it is ...

pinkie · 12-09-2005, 03:02 PM

That's great, Clavus!

doodlebird · 12-09-2005, 11:18 PM

that rocks clavus. your little dude is a lucky little dude. you've got just enough mean in there to not be too barney-dino, but not too much to make anyone pee on themself.
