T-Shirt Printing (Finished Product)

I have started creating the DK Books and Other Stuff T-shirts for my kids (Click here for my test shirt). I'm showing how I did it.

1. This is the silk screen that I am using. I traced it from Daniel's drawing.
2. This is my 2nd silk screen that shows the DK Books and Other Stuff URL.
3. I placed the 1st silk screen on a new shirt.
4. I placed some acrylic paint on one side of the silk screen.
I'm also using a plastic spreader (or you can use a squeegee) to make the paint go through the silk-screen.
5. Here's how it looks like. I'm going to let it dry.
6. I also printed the same pattern on a gray shirt.
7. Close-up look at the print.
8. I'm using the 2nd silk screen next.
9. Used blue paint this time. Here's how it looks now.
10. The next step is to hand paint the parts. I used the gold color on the Jet Pack.
11. I painted the star yellow.
12. Nick (the guy wearing the jet pack) is wearing brown shoes
13. Blasting off..... I used the red color next.
14. Nick is wearing a blue jump suit.

This is the finished shirt. I'll be asking my kids to wear them later.
