Portrait of Helen Keller

[Medic]

Feelin' the spaghetti.

[corned beef]

the hellen keller looks like it'd be on some Undercover shitz.

spaghetti would look cool, as would the eyeball one. I'd wear the cockaroach one to scare little kids.

[ericdw]

DM: how hi a resolution do you need to do these?

[persephone]

Dino, you just planning on screenprinting the photos on some blank tees?

if so what brand tees would you print on?

Also a bit of advice,

you should start a brand, getting tags made and stitched on isn't too much more per tee.

I think these could really sell if you promoted it on hypebeast and other streetwear forums as a photo series S/S line. (seriously)

[dino might]

^i didnt think about that. i dont even belong to any of those forums, i might sign up.

as for the kind of shirt and method of printing, i havent gotten that far yet, i though of doing this last night and didnt know if anyone would care about any of them, but im thinking im going to go ahead with it now. ill figure out all that soon and update this. they'll be legit no, not like some print off-iron on living room bullshit that peels off.

[DüM]

tags and shit are not that cheap, I don't think he plans on making that many.

I honestly don't know mad shit about it, but I think at 300dpi halftone at somewhere 55-65 lines/inch, 45˚ angle, ellipse shape. of course I have no idea what mesh count that would need.

of course the people at a print shop should know all of this.

[the_state]

pasta reminds me of GNR

[dino might]

gnrXrosenquist lolz

[hesRkilL0]

the eye and spagetti are dope

[DüM]

ok, so I pulled those numbers out of my ass apparently it's:

meshcount = lpi x 4.5 (round down to lower meshcount)

ex: 45 lpi x 4.5 = 202.5 = 200 meshcount

you planning on printing them in b&w or full-color cmyk (like the westside tee)?

[sidneylo]

It's expensive. Save up your dollars.

[dino might]

was planning on full color

[DüM]

Yeah, well save your monies and hopefully you can find someone, it was harder than expected for sid to find someone to print full-color.

[JackPhotography]

I've done the research, depending on the quality and specifics of the tag, they are actually really cheap. Considering he's doing a limited run and that he wants to start a clothing brand, they should be essential. These things are required if you want to make a high quality limited run of shirts that will both sell well and establish your brand.

A good idea would be to label these as a photographic series, name the series and to make a either spring/summer '08 line or Summer '08 line under your brand.

It really depends on how serious you are though. You could just pay whatever screenprinter you can find for cheap to screenprint these on the cheapest blanks out there with no tags and try and get maybe $10-20 per shirt or you could go the other route and use these great photographs to establish a real brand and treat the photos as the art and afford them the quality they deserve. (you wouldn't showcase a series of photographs in a gallery in frames that you bought at wal mart, or make prints on the cheapest photo paper you can find for that matter would you?) same kind of seriousness should be taken with a photographic series being printed on tees.

[Guest youkinorn]

Another vote for the bird one.

[Jkissi7]

What woould the prices be around if they drop ?

[edwithoutahead]

The Helen Keller is pretty good. I like the roach picture too, not really the dead bird one though. As others have said, it's not cheap.

best of luck!

[dino might]

yeah, dont know yet, havent gotten too many ideas about prices from anywhere else, ill do that and come up with some

[khoiphan92]

[Serge]

I'd buy them.

[doctornick]

are you looking to turn an immediate profit, or just get the name out there?
