I've always liked the combination of HD and waterbase. I think it would be more popular if it wasn't such a PITA with screen prep etc.

Yep. That Dan is a good'n.  He does good work. What?  oh, you mean "me".   Oh, gee williekers. Thanks!

The printer does great printing also. Can't forget that. Takes a good printer to print good art and seps and make them look good on the shirt. I'm glad you allowed me to run with a sepia look also. I know that was outside of the norm.  BRIGHT COLORS!  BRIGHT COLORS! ;D[


How do you like my tortoise? I had to slip one in. I think I'm make that my "thing" now. My hidden characters.

The way the sky drops out to the shirt color at the horizon is great! Palette-wise, did you choose the number of colors deliberately based on client budget, or strictly out of esthetics (or maybe both)? Either way, very nicely done!

some prints from last few weeks. The images are pretty crappy, they look better in person. 'was actually contemplating sending some to the competition, but the art provided did not have enough detail.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

In sim process work we always used to say "You're only as good as your underbase." These are excellent demonstrations of this.
Nice work Pierre.

thanx Tony, I wish I could take the credit for them, but the underbases are Dot Tone Dan's design. I just print them. . .

Here's a WB print we did a while back, I thought it turned out cool because the grain of the fabric shows through the transparent ink.

And the typeface and transparency really help make the vintage look work...can the 80's be considered vintage yet?  I hope not, that would me me vintage.

The three spaceship moon thing really sucked because we had to match one done by someone else. The other was only decent but really had that funky fade off to the garment where you cold see the screen mesh drop off. I thought maybe it was bad printing, but then when you look at the art file, it was pretty close to that. So that fade to the shirt on those top 3 (Howl at the moon) parody thing is a result of both matching a bad print and using bad manipulated photo art and/or graphics.
