my sharpie/bleach tees

[foundmyfrisbee]

so, this all started last year when i decided to see how fabric sharpie would work if i used it to draw on some plain white tees...
then i started making more and more and more and right now ive made around 45 shirts (i can post more pics if you want), selling some to my friends and stuff. Not much sewing involved, but i thought it would be cool to show what ive been doing with some clothing pens and clorox bleach pens. id actually like to start a serious online business with these soon. hope ya like!

[FenderNeedles]

those are really awesome, the owl and the whale ones are my favorite.

do they bleed?

[foundmyfrisbee]

the bleach does, and sometimes it doesnt like to cooperate...but the sharpies dont. it just took a while to get used to drawing right on the fabric.

[g33]

:eek: Wow!!!

[MamaSasss]

Those are AMAZING!!!

What a fabulous idea! I especially like the shoes.:cool:

[corinneleigh]

WOW!! you are an amazing artist!

[Blu]

holy crap, that's some pretty good art!!!!!!!!!

i love the shoes.

[Nath]

Holy crap. I'll definitely want to buy one, if they're printed on a fitting shirt. The intensity of the art contrast with the plain look of the shirt in an awesome way. :eek:

[foundmyfrisbee]

:D thanks so much for the kind words everyone. Just to clarify, the very bottom shirt i put up in the last post was for an english project detailing a sequel to the book 'A Man for All Seasons'.

anyways, i decided id throw up a few more bleach shirts that i did. hope you like these too and ill post some more later!

[dpc]

Wow!! Incredible, fantastic...

Tutorial! Tutorial!

[CaptinMcCracken]

Awesome! I love the Owl and the spider one. People would totally buy.

[Jelfish]

Those are very impressive. I think you could definitely make money selling them.

Jel

[Seatbelt-belt]

those are so amazing, I love the shoes. You could definately make some good money if you sell those.

[emerald]

those are fabulous! You should set up an eBay/etsy store or something!

[xDirectorx]

those kicks look amazing!

did you use the bleach pen on those??

[superdoofus]

those are incredible. the image design is as well thought out as the placement.
even more so because they're one-offs. start doing those on recycled buttondowns and blouses and skirts and dresses and trouserpants and whatever and i have no doubt you could be living off your work rather quickly.
oh, and if you aren't on etsy yet, git yr butt o'er there.

(could you make a mammoth or a walrus on a medium size shirt? let me know how much you might want or what you might want in trade, i make a mean photo-process silk screen.)

[miss.green.tea]

those are amazing!!! would they survive a washing machine or are you supposed to wash them by hand?

~~love the dinosaur ones >~<

[foundmyfrisbee]

thanks again all! a tutorial is on the way...hopefully.

xDirectorx: yeah, i used bleach pen on those shoes and made another pair in black. The black actually turned red and as you can see the brown went to yellow! its pretty fun to experiment and see whats gonna turn to what.

emerald & superdoofus: thanks for the tips, ebay is a great idea, but right now i have my hands full with local friends who want them. i really want to mass produce these (but then i guess theyd lose the appeal :( ). by the end of this summer im looking to have a website of my own up selling handmades, and maybe silkscreened ones for cheaper.

miss.green.tea: these actually stand up in the wash pretty well. all i do is make sure to iron them before the wash (im sure theyd be fine without it, but it doesnt hurt) and then i usually machine wash them in load together, all inside out, and pretty gently. even my shirts from about a year ago still 'pop'.

ok. so, like i promised, heres some more:

[naturals_not_in_it]

God those are some amazing designs, just the detail and all the effot you must have put in. Well if you ever do get an etsy/ebay account and start selling be sure to post on here to let evryone know! those are some seriously mad t-shirts.

[misshannigan09]

Omg! Thats Amazing When U Get A Websight Put It Up!

[Damascus]

The last shirt in the first post is my definate favorite.

[Ska Lover]

WOW WOW WOW WOW!:eek::eek:!Those are amazing.When you get that website site please share.:D

[foundmyfrisbee]

ok, heres even more:

this is one of the dress shirts ive done...i just did it on an american eagle collared shirt (it was like $35, what a rippoff! whatever i had a giftcard...)

[Number09]

Wow... I love the dress shirt design!
How well does the Sharpie work on other colour tees like a royal blue or red?

[foundmyfrisbee]

they work pretty well if its a light color, like this:

ps. srry if im posting too much :/ i dont mean to cram all these pictures into one thread.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/darkredbutton/flower2T.jpg

[gollygeeitsbee]

so are you selling these?
cozzzzz i'd buy one if you are!
i am in love.
youre gooooood. :D

[Rocka89]

Those are awesome. I love the shoes.

[BellaMuertexcore]

completely amazing! you are SO talented!

do you come up with all the designs on your own or do your friends ask for a specific animal?

keep up the amazing work!

[MamaSasss]

Please continue to crowd the thread with your shirts.
I love what you're coming up with.:D

*M*

[CaptinMcCracken]

I love the bats!

[getchoo]

Those are so awesome! Post more pics.

[Josirean]

Ok, so I'm guessing that on the bleached ones, you use like smudging and like rinsing re-applying to get the grungy edges and brighter spots, but how do you get those smooth blends on the sharpie ones?

Also, just wondering, exactly what kind of sharpie are you using?

[DBXP]

:eek:


I am speechless...

The Vans...not ONLY did you do a awesome pattern on em, but you did it the same way each time...

I'm calling witchcraft on this one...

[switch the stitch]

seriosly !!!! those are frick'n awsome!!!!!
(excuse my spelling :)

[earthkitten]

Hey, this is my first post on the forum....yipee!

I am just FLABBERGASTED at your shirts. Very inspiring to me....I think I'm stoked enough to go experiment more with Sharpies (I've done a little, and loved it....but this is a whole other level!) Anyways....keep up the amazing work. You will be making a full-time living at it in no time, if that's what you want to do. You have the eye. :)

[foundmyfrisbee]

once again thank you! im running out of stuff to post tho!

Josierean: well, with the sharpies you have alot more control over the values, it feels completely different than working with the bleach. its harder to get the lights with a brand new pen, but ill show you how its all done with my tutorial (hopefully put together by this week). as for the sharpies, i use Rub-a-dub sharpies for fabrics.

DBXP: actually, each shoe has a different face...but on purpose. symmetry is for squares.

[Damascus]

Wow, each time I see these I'm amazed. My friends love them too although they aren't on the threadbanger website so they can't post words of praise.

[barnes]

Wow!! Incredible, fantastic...

Tutorial! Tutorial!

I love them! Awesome work. You must go through an entire sharpie (or 2 on that last one in the original post.) I wish I had enough drawing skill to produce stuff like that.

On the topic of producing and selling them, I will be your first customer. I'm also a web developer if you were looking for someone to help set up a web site. Let me know if you need help.

...and I second the tutorial. I understand theres not much to write, but just basic tips.

[NO_Nee]

Omg.. U R AMAZING..!!! :eek:
I love ur art work...

[Josirean]

Ahh, ok. Well, I looked at the Sharpies website and it only lists Rub-a-dubs as coming in black. If you have more colors than that where'd you get them?

[pinoyblaze]

I love you bleached works, I'm going to play around with some pens now <3

[foundmyfrisbee]

Ahh, ok. Well, I looked at the Sharpies website and it only lists Rub-a-dubs as coming in black. If you have more colors than that where'd you get them?

yeah, rubadubs are only black. for color you can use almost any clothing marker. me? i use Y & C fabric mates.

[Krussell]

have you tried using a bleach pen on jeans?? That could have some cool effects, but I don't know if the fabric would react differently or not.. (ie. bleeding more or whatever.)

[foundmyfrisbee]

thanks again guys and gals! i cant believe how supportive everyone on these boards are!

barnes: thanks! on the piece ur talking about i went through 4 sharpies...so yeah, it was alotttttt. right now i only sell them to close friends within the area...around 15 so far and i dont know when or how ill go big, its all a little intimidating. thanks for the offer about making a website, but as for right now, i need to get my bearings down. video tutorial is on the way...its tough tho, this week im getting my wisdom teeth out :(

krussell: thats actually a great idea...i may have to try it, but i just dont want to ruin a perfectly good pair of jeans :/

ok, heres one i did tonight...for myself (after a long line of shirts for other people!) and i really liked how it came out.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/darkredbutton/foxtee-1.jpg

oh and here are a pair of shoes i still wear. i drew on them about a year ago with regular sharpie and it faded a bit but i just thought it might be fun to post...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/darkredbutton/greenshoes1-1.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/darkredbutton/greenshoes2.jpg

[redstoned]

dude those shoes look awesome

[Idreneth]

Wow. You are an incredible artist.
Where do you get your inspiration from?

[foundmyfrisbee]

Wow. You are an incredible artist.
Where do you get your inspiration from?

thanks, im really glad you asked this! i would have to say that most of my inspiration comes from the music i listen to (i.e. The Blood Brothers, The Mars Volta). it really gets the gears movin.

[getthething]

omg thats so cool! =D

[the0green0meanie]

I have an old shirt from a few years ago that i drew the Emerica shoes logo on with a normal green Sharpie. It's held up really well, despite the fact i bleach that shirt. It's only slightly faded. Do you think regular Sharpies would hold up well enough, if shirts were washed normally, perhaps on a gentle load? Just throwing it out there. Great work.

[Idreneth]

thanks, im really glad you asked this! i would have to say that most of my inspiration comes from the music i listen to (i.e. The Blood Brothers, The Mars Volta). it really gets the gears movin.

That's awesome. Perhaps one day you could send them a gift shirt or something. Be like, this is what your music inspires so MAKE MORE DARNIT. Heh.

It would probably take up way too much of your time, but you should seriously consider opening up comissions. I know lots people who would be clamoring for your stuff.

I dig the "OBEY" sketch!

[foundmyfrisbee]

hey all, i finished these 2 shirts today, being stuck in the house with a sore mouth after getting my wisdom teeth pulled, but at least i made some progress:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/darkredbutton/otterT.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/darkredbutton/spidersT.jpg

p.s. both of those are for friends, but the 2nd one is actually based off a quote...

and this is a sketch of what i will hopefully be making into a shirt for my vid. tutorial:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/darkredbutton/hipposketch.jpg

[pinoyblaze]

I love the exploding spiders shirt, neat design, are you sure you aren't high when you make theses? Vicadin can do that to you lol. Hope the jaw heal up well :P

[foundmyfrisbee]

for the spider one, yes i did take some perkaset. but it kinda just made me wanna throw up.

[pinoyblaze]

so how do you control the drag when drawing on the shirts? I always mess up my drawings on shirts because of the drag... Clip it down or something? O_o

[ikrizia]

besides making sweet tees, you'd make a kick-ass tattoo artist.. just a thought (=

[TEo]

Bleach rulzzz!!!
I use it too:)

[foundmyfrisbee]

so how do you control the drag when drawing on the shirts? I always mess up my drawings on shirts because of the drag... Clip it down or something? O_o

i use the back of a 19'' x 24'' drawing pad and stretch the shirts over it. they fit over pretty well and it keeps the drag to a minimum, but you really just need to get used to how the pens handle.

[sewittogether]

Make me some! lol

[Load3r]

damn you damn you damn you (jealous-much?)

i also agree you could easily make some money off your designs. seek out some indie clothing stores that sells local designer stuff.
do you understand how much some trendy jerkface would drop on something that styling? too much!

[foundmyfrisbee]

hey again! man, sorry for not posting much at all recently, ive been a very busy bee, anyways, i made 1 new shirt for the tutorial and got all 40 min of it on video.
oh and heres the shirt:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/darkredbutton/hippoT.jpg

ill probably be done with the tut. by next week.

oh and just for kicks here is the first shirt that started it all:

[the0green0meanie]

Your first? Killer.

[wolfgirl]

Hey, I just wanted to show you my t-shirt. I was totally inspired by your thread. I bought Rub-a-Dub sharpies and some color fabric markers. Here is my first shirt:



http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f347/tokyowolf7/kejajrrhgkj.jpg
http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f347/tokyowolf7/kjaehfkjsh.jpg



It is not as good as yours, but hey, I am practicing.
I don't shade as much as I 'imply' shading. I look forward to your tutorial.
Also, I ironed them afterwards. Is there anything else you do?

[mrzombiediy]

wow you live pretty close [foundmyfrisbee] i'd totally buy a shirt from you

[jamaicamahn15]

wow y'all are amazing i can't draw to save my life lol ^_^

[foundmyfrisbee]

thanks again all! i cant tell you how much i appreciate your comments.

wolfgirl: thats awesome! im so glad i could actually inspire you to start doing some of your own. definately looks great, especially with your first time working the fabric! The shading definately comes with practice, as seen with the lack of it in my first one. After you ironed it, it should be good to go, but just in case, i wash all mine inside out and pretty loosely.

mrzombiediy: yea, MD is right nextdoor but not for long. in september i leave for college :P hopefully around then ill try to make a business for everyone.

mkey, heres a tee for my schools spirit day theme last year, 'cowboys vs indians', and we needed a buffalo [me].

[ikrizia]

foundmyfrisbee: ur friggin awesome! =D
wolfgirl: awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.......

[wolfgirl]

I am not much of a sewing person, so the day I saw your thread, I was like, YES! I could try that! So thankies for posting this. I am glad u like it. I have been showing off your thread to all my friends.

[foundmyfrisbee]

wolfgirl: yea, i have no idea how to sew, but i want to learn how. once i do i plan to do even more stuff with my shirts...i have a realllllllly great idea that i dont want to share until i learn how to do it. hopefully threadbanger will help me.

oh and i dont mean to steal your name, but ive been planning to name my business, Wolfe Tees, after my middle name.

ok, i did this today for a friend rl quick, thought id share.

[suburbanjungle]

...you're amazing. XD

haha sorry, i just couldn't help myself.

[pinoyblaze]

Pandee bearrr!!! haha <3 I keep loving it good job man!!

[Sacha]

these are awesome! You deffinitly have a talent in this.

[oldsoul]

These look great.

Get yourself in business. These should sell well. Start with the street fairs and the like.

But you can't make any real money doing them all by hand. So pick a few designs and have some shirts made. Sell them cheap. Sell the ones made by hand for twice the price. Custom stuff sells in the right markets.

oldsoul

[miss.green.tea]

wolfgirl: thats adorable!11 i think its beautiful but mebbe that's just because i like giraffes... no, you really do have talent~ <3

foundmyfrisbee: once again, your are amazing~ where do you get all the tshirts you work with?

[abi123]

so i just bought some crayola brand fabric markers from hobby lobby and i'm getting ready to try them out. i'll let you know hoe it works out. it came with all the colors of the rainbow....excited.

[foundmyfrisbee]

oldsoul: you and i have very similar ideas. i want to try and screenprint some of the better designs, and then do handprinted ones for more cash, because god knows that i would get nothing done if i did everything by hand.

miss.green.tea: Khols! but they rarely have black Hanes, so for the black ones i usually go to H&M and buy them in singles for like $4.

abi123: put up some pics when you get done!

heres one i made today for someone. took me forEVA to find the right type of black shirt that could take the bleach well.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/darkredbutton/giraffTee.jpg

[oldsoul]

foundmyfrisbee,

try automatic dishwashing liquid and a brush instead of the bleach pen. Or better yet, go get some of the new watercolor brushes that you can fill the handle with water and squeeze to use with your colors. You could put a little less or little more bleach in them and use them on your shirts. Then it might not matter what color the shirts are - you could tailor your bleach mixture for them.

Automatic dishwasher liquid has a ton of bleach in it, but it's thick and it will stay put. So you can leave it on.

The only thing you have to think about is that bleach weakens the fibers in the shirt. So you need some way to buffer its effects.

Look at hanes.com You can but shirts directly from Hanes. Walmart is cheaper on some items, but you can get what you want from hanes.
oldsoul

[miss.green.tea]

mkay thanx~ i have a khols near here, and since i still have like $50 free spending munnies imma look into some of those nifty fabric pens and a few shirts to try this out~

[danceERINdance]

you are a great artist.

aaand.. seem to have one of the longest personal threads.
why haven't you been mentioned yet?

[timmys_girl]

Wow what you did to your vans were wicked also the rest r cool you can realy draw wicked well done

[laurenashley]

i luv the idea!

i dont think i could ever do something like that with my hands!

lol

[pinoyblaze]

you are a great artist.

aaand.. seem to have one of the longest personal threads.
why haven't you been mentioned yet?

I believe he's been mention as one of the kickass DIYers in a Threadheads video already<3 haha

[danceERINdance]

oops.

who said that he wasn't? they're dumb...

[sharrychrist]

Hi, this post is very informative; however I would like some specific information. If someone can help me then please send me a private message. Best Regards,

[Load3r]

I really think you should look into some discharge paste for your bleach designs.

It is designed for fabrics and is really similar to what comes out of bleach pens, only thicker and it bleeds less. It is fabric safe (unlike most other DIY bleach methods) and works as soon as it dries and you iron it.

The question is, what would be a good way for you to apply it. Brushes work well but you might want something more pen-like.

[SoxRox1804]

THOSE ARE FREAKING AWESOME! Doesn't the sharpie wash out tho?

[heartgeiger]

Those are amazing. My favorite is the one with the yellow "x".

[foundmyfrisbee]

thanks again all!
i just finished my tutorial and with any luck itll be on the show soon.
i really wish i could move this thread to the 'your projects' forum :/

Load3r: hmm, ill have to look into that, sounds like it might work really well with brushes. at one point i tried using brushes with the clorox to get more detail, but alas, i love drawing way more than i do painting, so im more comfortable with the bleach pens.

SoxRox1804: the fabric sharpie does not wash out, if you take care of the shirts properly.


i made another tee today for myself, because i was feeling a little under the weather and had nothing else to do. hurr it is:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/darkredbutton/robobeart.jpg

[yooneece]

this is probably THE coolest thing i have seen in a longgg while.
i can't wait for the tutorial. ;]
<3

[lovelikenails]

i second that tutorial motion.

i'm really amazed that they don't bleed, too. i've decorated shirts with sharpie before and they have definitely bled.. i guess consider yourself lucky? or consider me unlucky?

and DEFINITELY start an online store!! they would sell like hot cakes. your'e an amazing artist.

[francesca]

Please marry me.

ok, ok, just kidding. but ummm ...
omg i love you.

i also have another question for you - you know, besides my proposal -
i made 1 new shirt for the tutorial and got all 40 min of it on video.
any chance this tutorial will be available online in its pure, uncut, 40-minute glory? perhaps on Tudou, or split into parts that fit Youtube?
I'm sorry, I know it's a lot to ask (for you to upload it all), but I seriously love your work so much, I'd download that video. And end up watching all 40-minutes in utter awe and hunger for wisdom.

Thank-you for being alive.

[Capt!n Plan!t]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/darkredbutton/robobeart.jpg

Ha! that reminds me of a cartoon I watched when I was a little kid called "The Brave Little Toaster"

[foundmyfrisbee]

francesca: hahaha, thank you. well, in the final edited tut. i have all 40 min sped up [in like 20 sec], making me look like a friggin robot who just drank 10 redbulls. but, if thats not enough and you need all 40 detialing minutes, then i can see what i can do with youtube. lol, trust me, its not THAT interesting. glad that i can please you :D

Capt!n Plan!t: for the record i am a huge fan of The Brave Little Toaster. beautiful movie.

uhhh, so yea, i made a myspace for my stuff.

www.myspace.com/wolfetees

go. theres nothing there that i havent posted here, but im hoping to use it as a starting ground for actually selling stuff. im thinking about [soon] putting up a few shirts on ebay, and then advertising them through my myspace, so friend me or w/e and ill send out some bullitens when im actually gonna sell some.

and yeaaaah, i know i dont have any friends yet, but thats because i dont want to spend the time going thru countless strangers and friending them, so get the word out anyways!

thanks all :P

[achro.matic]

i adore the highlights in the designs, and the way the gradients are blended so smoothly <3 you're a really talented designer and artist :)

random-ish: do you have a deviantart account? ^__^

[photogirl17]

Those are FANTASTIC!

[sewittogether]

Those are smurfin awesome.

[Lisinity]

Those are wicked. I used to draw on shirts alot too, but not to this degree of awesome. I would ask to buy one, but you're probably so busy. When your time frees up, you gotta let us know.

[AwkwardSexy]

These are the most beautiful t shirts.You have such talent! The animals you draw are amazing. I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

[abi123]

so i did one t-shirt with crayola markers.....here's the pic.


http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/5644/tattoo029om0.jpg

it's to big for me so i got some that fit me right. and i'll try that. i'll post pics afterwards.

everyone let me know what you think i used a stencil on this one so i'll try freehanding a couple.

[foundmyfrisbee]

ok, first off, my thanks to ladyjanewriter for moving this thread where it belongs :D

2nd off, the tutorial should be shown in about 2 weeks, so sorry for the wait, but its on the way! dont worry!

achro.matic: hmm, you know what, i dont! i have no idea why, especially when i am always looking for new places to put art up (facebook and myspace, woo!). i may make one soon, so ill keep ya posted.

Lisinity: yeah, i would love to take commissions but the truth is i cant, sry. BUT, if you head over to

myspace.com/wolfetees

when i do sell some shirts on ebay, ill put the word out there. and im thinking about doing it pretty soon...

abi123: awesome! i totally dig the stars and clouds on the shoulders, clever touch, hehe. were you just able to color over a stencil for the planes easy?

and thanks a bunch for the support guys, its whats been pushing me to keep making more whenever i have the time, soooooo heres one i just did tonight!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/darkredbutton/terpT.jpg

[goofipinay]

mutant turtle?
but i like turtles >.<

awesome work, though =]

[abi123]

i had to pull the shirt pretty taught,if that's the word, but it worked pretty well. i was thinking that next time i might use an embroydery hoop,also spelled wrong i'm sure, depending on the size.

[OutsaPop]

Damn those are sweet :) You draw VERY well. I think the dog is the best.

[mdnite_skys]

your stuff is absolutely amazing
if you ever get an online site, im sure to buy

kudos to you

[Kaie13]

DUDE!!! I love it. I want one...actually I want one like the english project or the spider bleach one.

[Kaie13]

Hey if you start a business, with your nack at animals you could so sell to a musium or zoo.

[Create and Destroy]

crayola...it takes me back

[rae]

Wow, foundmyfrisbee, I'm just in awe of these. You have a lot of talent!

[Cosmiksquirel.]

Wow. Your art is seriously amazing! All the shadings and the originality of it, it's cool cause you haven't made too much (Not even on the last picture) and it still looks great. You must have been brave to put bleach on your Vans shows, I wouldn't have done this thinking I'd mess them all. But it turned out awesome! It rocks. Keep up your stunning work!

omg man you are totally amazing i mean i wish i could have a 10th of your talent. And all the designs are totally awesome. I especially love the dark and evil looking ones. You rock sooo much.

[Nath]

Okay. The plane shirt looks AMAZING. Like the kind of thing you have to pay $40 for at metro park or zumiez.

PLEASE START SELLING THESE THINGS.

We're all drooling at the thought of owning a foundmyfrisbee original tee.

mega kudos (the M&Mkind)

[Laohu]

Foundmyfrisbee!!!! man you're an true inspiration and i'm trying to follow your footstep and do my own bleach shirts but my first one was not quite there but i'm still trying i was wondering if you can post a tutorial about bleaching don't know what to do after applying and how to prevent bleeding and i never had the chance to see your other tutorial can you post a link please!!!

keep it up and i'll post mine as soon as it's to my liking

stay blessed

[freakyjbl]

WOW! That is really good!

[Ada D]

those are amaising. did you draw it all freehand or trace it out first with a fabric chalk? if you started a business I'm sure you would make quite a few sales.

[foundmyfrisbee]

sup guys and gals. thanks, again.

Laohu: hmm, i would like nothing better to post a bleach tut, but right now i dont really have the time to get it all together, i leave for college in a week! what i can tell you is that you should try putting the bleach in a bowl or something and try to use a paintbrush to put it where you want. after a 15 minute sit, just rinse it all off with water in the sink. hope it helps and please share when ur done

as promised, 2 more shirts comin atcha!

this one actually started as a mistake :P

[foundmyfrisbee]

[daheadlesshero]

that stuff really is pretty amazing. Not even kidding, my stuff is totally sucky compared to that.

[jessrae]

you're a really talented artist.
all of your drawings are sick
especially the t-rex & your obey/vans

[Plasma]

frisbee.

You are my favorite senior. (as in person who jumped on here before me)

[Josirean]

Hey, just wondering, I know you said that you have washed your shirts inside out and they have turned out fine, but are any of the pictures you've posted been of shirts that you've already washed? I was just wondering because I got ahold of some fabric pens, and did some designing onto a couple shirts, one of a logo from a bike shop in town for a friend, and another repairing some washed off detail from an older shirt I have. On both, the ink faded quite a bit, and I was wondering if you maybe had the same problem sometimes?

Oh, and I finally got my hands on a sharpie rub-a-dub, Wal-Mart doesn't seem to sell them anymore around here, but one of the books and supplies stores near my college campus had one left!

[foundmyfrisbee]

daheadlesshero: please PLEASE dont think like that. i hate to take the 4th grade art teacher stance about everyone being 'special & unique' but really, fasion and art is what you make of it.

plasma: hehe, thank you. i could make a joke about being old right now but i wont.

Josirean: Actually, the first few pages of this thread have shirt pics after they have been washed quite a bit. Actually, the bats and the t rex pictures were taken over a year of being worn and washed. i hate to say i have not used any other fabric pen besides those sharpies, so the brand could be the problem. try out the rub a dubs and see if that works better.one thing you can do is make sure you iron your shirts after youve drawn on them, it helps the ink set. also, i like to wash mine inside-out on a gentle cycle which also helps to preserve the drawings. hope that helps.

ok, so, heres the latest from yesterday. my wrist is actually really starting to hurt from all this drawing so i may need to take a break :P

[Miss_Gagarin]

go on frisbee, I think you deserve it! :D

[Ada D]

How long does it usually take you to draw the design?

[foundmyfrisbee]

How long does it usually take you to draw the design?

it usually takes an hour or two. but this last one took a little longer because it was harder for me to try and make it semi-symmetrical by eye.

[Ada D]

it usually takes an hour or two. but this last one took a little longer because it was harder for me to try and make it semi-symmetrical by eye.

that makes them even more impressive. somthing like that would take me forever.

[offhegoes03]

first of all, dude you have a ton of talent and those shirts are awesome.

I've got a question about using the white shirts. I don't know if you've run into this, but I used to like wearing plain white undershirts a lot, but after a couple washes, they get a nasty yellow ring in the armpit area. I read once somewhere that it was due to aluminum in deodorant, but I was just wondering how you avoided this since you obviously have nice shirts that are over a year old. Thanks man.

[shiloh]

I am in absolute awe of your talent! You could probably sell some of your designs to musicians, too...they'd probably pay a bundle.

I don't even know what else to say...it's all so amazing I had to look through all 15 pages!

[foundmyfrisbee]

I read once somewhere that it was due to aluminum in deodorant, but I was just wondering how you avoided this since you obviously have nice shirts that are over a year old. Thanks man.

you know, a couple years ago i had the same problem, where some of my white tees would be a little yellow under the arm after wearing them for a few months. however, it stopped and ive never had the problem with my drawn on shirts, maybe due to changing my deodorant. lol, its funny, becuase i actually looked at mine to see if it had any aluminum in the active ingredients and sure enough, it didnt. but i looked at a free sample of some that i had and sure enough, it had aluminum, but i dont use that kind, so im pretty sure thats what could be causing it. lol, that was a really good question, thanks man.

[offhegoes03]

cool man, thanks for the response. I guess I need to find a white deodorant that doesn't have aluminum on it so I can make the white undershirts last. I got 6 new ones, so I need to wash them and find some time to cut out a stencil and print a shirt or two. I think a Michaels near me should have those sharpie rub a dubs, so I might use those to add some more detail after stenciling. I saw some "fabric markers" in a store the other day, but I think it's paint in a marker, so not sure if I want to use those for color. Can you find those colored fabric pens in stores or do you order them online?

[ladyjanewriter]

I am floored. Please tell me you're going for an art degree.

Re: deoderant - yes, the aluminum causes yellowing. Sometimes people's body chemistry naturally causes the yellow pits problem.

[danceERINdance]

can you osmosis me some talent?

[rawrwar]

um i live in bethesda md.
id totally buy a shirt man, if i have money, and as long as you havnt left for college haha
me, i like them shirts.

[getchoo]

That gold one is awesome!

paint marker could work, its not what i use, but it could add some nice effects. I get my markers from Michaels, but im sure if you try any other craft stores they might have them...i have yet to look online.

ladyjanewriter: Thank you :D yes, i am going for college for an art degree, except, at this point i dont rly know exactly what i want to do, so yeah, i guess i have a few years to figure it out.

rawrawr: sorry, from now on i will be posting from savannah, at least, until my first break, and then we'll see...


thanks again to everyone, its been pretty hectic, but you can expect some new shirts soon, hopefully :D

[AprilDraven]

wow is all I can say :)

[offhegoes03]

thanks so much man, I bought some of those color markers and rub a dubs, so hopefully I'll be posting up a shirt later tonight.

[callmespecial]

O_O! those are amazing!

i love ALL the bleach ones! they kinda give off the x-ray effect. you should try making one with ribs and stuff, as if the shirt was an x-ray.

[foundmyfrisbee]

hey everybody, im just posting to let you all know im not dead :/

ive been rllllly busy so, shirts have been hard to do. however i did make a new pair of shoes that ill post soon, like maybe tomarrow?

[Autumn.cannibalism]

[craftykp]

[Kadarynn]

You blow the mind.

[Josirean]

Hey, I haven't been browsing around here as much lately, so I may have missed it somewhere in this thread, but whatever happened to the video tutorial you made?

I was just wondering, because I have a white hoodie right now that I'd love to decorate, but I'd like to see how you do your process and such.

[Elsime]

This is really impressive. I love the whale one with all the detail and everything. You're an impressive artist !

Have you tried working with color tees ? What does it look like ?

[offhegoes03]

Have you tried working with color tees ? What does it look like ?

check out page 15. He has a yellow shirt that he drew on at the very top of that page.

[foundmyfrisbee]

Thanks alot folks. I have had NO time to make any shirts, its been kindof sad :[

Josirean: hmm, tutorial? yup, corinne told me it was going to be on the show in the next two weeks...but that was 3-4 weeks ago :/ so to tell you the truth, it should be on the show soon, but I cant say for sure. If you keep tuned in im sure (and really hoping) the tutorial will be up soon. pleeeease hang in there.

im really happy to see this thread not die off due to the lack of activity on my part, but again, i apologize.

[DIYpunkGirl27]

i like the whale
its pretty awesome
good job ur great
:)

[Corrine490]

I'm sure you've been asked this before and I just can't find it on the thread, but how do you shade that well with just a fabric marker/bleach pen?

[julia r haddad]

you are absolutely amazing at this.

[rob-h]

damn...i bow before you

[nadnuk]

I like how the bleach can really graduate in intensity the longer it stays on. Good skills!

[RISK]

Your talent scares me. I swear, my jaw dropped when I first saw your shirts in one of the videos. I couldn't believe you really drew that, and I still kinda don't. Don't get me wrong or anything, but they are just so nice! They look as if they're printed! You must tell me your secret. :P

I am also wondering how long you've been drawing and how you got so well at shading. I'm horrible at it. Anywho, you are so amazing and inspiring; pretty much perfect I should say. ;)

-Lauren

[mexiconkid]

hey do u do requests for a hoodie?

[foundmyfrisbee]

k folks, once again THANK you for keeping this thread alive with you nice comments, you guys rock.

so to answer some questions:

Corrine490: I do the shading with different sharpies, some of which have more ink than others, so i can get darker values with fresher pens and lighter ones with older pens.

mexiconkid: Nope, sorry, at this moment no requests :[ as much as id love to, i cant.

OK, SO. sorry to say, once again, no new clothing to post, ive just been busy with other forms of art...BUT i will be back in business in about a month, so wait for it :D

also, i dont know of how many people know of Johnny Cupcakes? Anwyays, if you dont, look him up and check out his success story on his clothing line, ect....well, he came to SCAD to lecture on his clothing line and i was actually able to meet him. SO that being said, im going to keep in touch with him and try and get some pointers to start my OWN store. Yes, this will be alot of work, but hes been a real inspiration. once again, tut should be on its way soon...hopefully? plz? :P

thanks guys!

[Ni-chan]

O . O

*shock*

Those...are brilliant!...

[iamthechad]

I'd pick those up in a heartbeat if I saw them for sale around here. I think the whale's my favorite of the bunch.

[Jujubi93]

wow very cool, wish i could do that...lately i've been busy in highscool for hw, so i havn't done any diys or drawn for awhile :(

[CaterpillarHero]

don't worry man, your store will hit the city hard. You'll prolly be sold out in the first week. And you have a ton of fans here that'll support you. Ask Rob and Corrine for some publicity help if you haven't already.

[hannah_DiGiTAL]

Omg....wow! >:33333333 Do you have a site that you sell them on?

And do they wash well? I would hate to have one and wash it and lose all your pretty coolness on it! >:33
You are just an amazing artist and have inspired me to do something like this!!! <333 It will give me something to do and think about while I'm down with my messed up ankle! KEEP IT UP DUDE! <333

[Doon Breaker Of The Fixed]

I LOVE ALL YOUR SHIRTS! but I have a request if you sell them online somewhere could you make some of them on shirts for girls? same graphics but just a different shirt! :]

[foundmyfrisbee]

I LOVE ALL YOUR SHIRTS! but I have a request if you sell them online somewhere could you make some of them on shirts for girls? same graphics but just a different shirt! :]

about 50% of the shirts you see are printed on girls sizes as is :D

[the-same-girl]

You are absolutely gifted. I'm so amazed! I would definitely buy them in a store, no doubt. Congratulations. You are amazing.

[the-same-girl]

Quick question:
Whenever I draw with sharpies on my shirts, I have trouble keeping the shirt steady enough to press kind of hard with the sharpies. Do you weigh yours down, or attach them to anything to keep the fabric from stretching out of place?

[RISK]

About the Johnny Cupcakes thing, I get to see him on Saturday! .. I think. He has an event thing over here. I'm stoked. :D

[KikiKat]

Wow... Just... Wow!
That's amazing! I wish I could do something like that with sharpies.

I don't shade as much as I 'imply' shading. I look forward to your tutorial.

Your shirts have insane detail, especially considering the fact you used marker on fabric. I really like the orange shades from the bleach on the black shirt.

HOW DID I ONLY SEE THIS THREAD NOW!? *le sigh* I'm not a fan of the orange bleach (unlike hybridmonkey :P) but I do like the read bleach. I like the more simple designes and I like how you use colors to exentuate the focal point (shoot. Somebodys been listening in art class). I like all your purple shirts.

What I've noticed was when you use deep colors (like that purple one above) it spreads a bit through the whole shirt. so that peacock(sp?) one is tinted purple, it doesn't look bad but its just something you should look out for when you do other shirts. Also on one or two other shirts I noticed a finger print.. naughty naughty.. now put your gum on your noes and sit in the corner and think about what you did.


Why don't you ever do the sleaves?
