So I found this DOPE image and I think with a little work it can be a great image for a T-Shirt.
If possible I would like the background in 1 color and Miles' face and hands in a different color. I don't have any color ideas, but something light that would go on a light color shirt (non white).



A bigger image can be found HERE.

Thanks in advance!!

If you are using a heat transfer anything that is whote will show as the color of the shirt.
If you screen print the shirt and the color is med to dark make sure you do a complete print in white then put your colors in. Each color will have a seperate screen.

Did you ask the artist if it was ok to use the original?

Hey Moma-
I use heat transfers and white shows up as white when you use the DARK t-shirt transfer sheets, which is what I will be using.

Screen prints are too expensive for me.

I was just looking for someone to manipulate the digital image and then I would use that with a heat transfer.

Here is one that I made in 2006:


and one witht the design actually on the shirt:

I have tried to get in contact with him/her via deviant, but can not find any info on the person. There last activity on deviant was 4 years ago. I only make "one-off" shirts and always attempt to get permission. I have never been turned down and most artists think it is cool. I do respect the work that is done and NEVER claim it as my own.

Hey Dean I'm trying to find a good color combination and I'm making a couple different ones, now on the background color does that have to be light as well? If you want I can give you my email.

The background color can be anything. Perhaps since I am likely going to have a lighter color shirt, then a darker background would look cool.

I know this isn't exactly what you wanted but I've been playin around let me know if you like the color of the hands and face, or if you want them changed doesn't matter to me, and then I'll restore back the other colors to the original if ya want. I'll post some more in a bit.

WOW!!! That is dope! I really like the yellow green and blue, but the red seems a bit out of place. It could just be me. Perhaps a dark blue instead of red? Dope work!! Thanks!!!

Thanks a bunch!!!

Sooo many options!!

If possible your email would be great in case I have any other ideas. Also, when you say you make T-shirts, do you mean screen printing? If so, we definitely may need to be in touch. I may need a few dozen shirts for a work related non-work group.

Not a problem glad you like them, and I'm in the process of opening a tshirt business just to make a little on the side. I don't have all the equipment for screen printing yet, but do true heat transfers with vinyl. So i pretty much make designs and use a heat press, when I can afford it I'll get a screen printing operation going.Sorry I couldn't help you there, but my email is *****
