Before you ask- yes. I did think of this. No- I have no idea how. Yes, it is on a shirt. Yes I wear it in public and yes it is amazing.
Besides the point- I came up with this when I was 19 and put it in our class t-shirt contest. I did not win- so two years later I decided to give the design a glow up and screenprint it using discharge ink and then a layer of regular ink on a black tshirt.
Now, with my own shirts and a better design I laugh whenever I see this shirt around, and it is one of my most complimented shirts to date.
