Finally found a thirdgen bird on a shirt

Whenever I go to shows, especially wildwood, I always look for a shirt with a 3rd gen bird on it. Sometimes I find Camaros, but never a bird. Finally found one this past weekend in Wildwood, No one has had it for the past 3 years so I guess they just finally started making them.

WELL!

you could go to any office supply store and get an iron on transfer sheet that you print on you computer and make your own.

If works pretty good but its not perfect

I make my own stuff all the time

I'v thought about that, but I dont know how good I can make it look with it being only 8 1/2" x 11", you cant take up a lot of the shirt

you can get a pretty big pic of your car(LANDSCAPE) and then use another sheet to do some text or whatever. Add some stuff on the sleeve and you URL on the back. Do it in stages and a couple of sheets and I think you would get the look you want

You could have some of those people print your car on a shirt. Hmm..... That would be a good idea to put some of Bills wallpapers on a shirt.

I wonder if you could take a wallpaper/pic of a car to kinko's or what have you and they would blow it up big enough for a shirt and put it on an iron-on transfer?

Here is a shirt that a friend of mine made for me a couple years back. I hope the pics work, if not just click on the link. If that doesn't work, you can get them from my site.

In that first T-Shirt, they left out an important gen, the first gen! I still like the T-Shirt. I want a characature of Bird on my T-Shirt.

Why does every shirt seem to leave out the first gen. You can't have a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th gen without the 1st gen.

Take the pic into photoshop, enlarge it as big as you want.


It will become pixelated, then Just import it into Freehand..

Then use the vector concept in Freehand to redo the "cartoonish" look on the shirt. 20 minutes of work tops.

What are you talking about? Almost every shirt depicts a first gen. At least for the Camaro they do. It's hard to find a Camaro shirt with anything other than a first gen.
