so im having a local shop burn some screens for me and they look like they do some pretty decent work. how would you guys feel about a limited production run on my DorkiDori "Decisions V2" shirt? you know, the one with all those bitchen wheels on it?

i may limit it to 25-30 shirts, and possibly do it in a metallic foil. not sure yet, i just want feedback. price per shirt will be around $20.00 shipped (i can no longer produce shirts as cheaply as i was before unless i buy in bulk).

since some of you arent up to speed, heres the shirt i am talking about...

That's pretty dope lol

However I rarely purchase t-shirts off the net, they tend to fit me funky and I like to try them on :(

$20shipped is a deal though!!

V2 > V1 shirt ;)

i made quite a few small changes in the version 2 shirt that i dont think many people picked up. i replaced 4 of the wheels that i really didnt like, fixed all the 5 lug patterns to look the same, fixed the 4 lug patterns as well, changed a good amount of the line work to make the edges more defined from a distance, got rid of the original slogan (which drifting.com accused me of ripping off from them. quite funny actually. i had never seen or even heard of their design before they accused me of stealing their idea).

all in all, both shirts together took me about 36 hours to do

i have to go by the shop tomorrow to drop off artwork. when im there i will check out some samples of their foiled stuff as well as their normally printed work to see if their print quality is where i am comfortable offering it to you guys. im really picky on the print quality of shirts i release thru outside printers. i want to make sure you guys get something that will last you quite a while :)

x2 on what is metallic foil, and if the shirt can be different color? Had v1 and loved it.

literally what it sounds like. its the print done with metallic foils.

if you see (and i dread using it as a reference) affliction shirts with that shiny metal stuff on it, thats metallic foil. i had always pictured doing the V2 shirt with a metallic foil at some point honestly. i thought it would be cool to have a black shirt with the option of pure gold or pure chrome metallic foil as the wheels. but alas, i never got around to doing it.

IF i do offer the shirt in metallic foil, its more than likely going to be in the $25 range, its an expensive process to do and quite a bit more time consuming than a standard print.

Metallic foil seems way too "Affliction", "bro", I like the design though.

Hahaha i know what you're talking about now, only cause i have a Zoo York shirt like that. In my opinion gold would so much flyer. Just saying :]

so i met with the print shop today and took a look at some of their samples. i will be using discharge white ink on the normal prints (which ive always wanted to do in the first place). the foil shirts are a no go. the detail in the artwork is WAY too fine for the screens that have to be utilized unfortunately. the mesh required for the rims shirt to print correctly is a 175-200 mesh setup. the screens they use for foil glue are only in the 110-120 range and they WILL NOT hold the detail this design requires. sorry guys :(

though i may offer a metallic ink option. not quite as flasy, but would still get the idea across :)

i will be much closer to an idea for a finalized pre-order date this weekend. i may start it next week. just gotta iron out the finer details with this shop. ;)

Now that the foil is out of the picture I'm in.... As long as the metallic ink doesn't take over

white on black looks better anyway, you loose the fine details when theres a reflection.

still in for one.

Hey Lennon when are therese going through man?

i need to get some time this week to get over to the shop who i want to print these. im going to have them burn the screens for the shirts. i need to make sure they can do this screen correctly. its SUPER hard to wash the screen out after its been burned. the details in the wheels are very fine and i dont want to offer the shirt unless they can pull the screen off correctly for it (i dont offer or accept sub par prints)
