So the other day, this genius idea occurred to me. It's probably been done before but I'd love to do it for myself. I was thinking about vintage Disneyland posters, which are awesome. You can see a bunch over at Daveland. I really like the look of some of them. They've got this really stylized, 50s/60s retro look to them. And then I thought "Wouldn't it be cool if they had T-shirts with vintage posters on them?" I know you can "print on demand" at various places at Disneyland but there aren't T-shirts as far as I know. If anyone knows, please let me know. Anyways, my idea was silkscreening my own shirts. Unfortunately, I don't have expensive equipment or a very good facility to do it in. I found a "do it at home" method on YouTube, which I might try but at the moment, I have like 5 projects going and school so this would be a project for the future. But the mostly simple shapes and limited color palettes on the posters lend themselves to relatively easy silkscreening projects but I don't know because I've never tried it. I just think it would be great if I had my own custom T-shirts with vintage posters on them!
Professional Way:
(aren't these guys awesome?)
At Home:
So that's my great idea. I hope I can do it sometime and it works out. I'd probably have to make different stencils for the different colors, but I'd have an awesome shirt that no one else does!
