HA has always had this idea of making tshirts. After our project earlier this year of making the picture for Gravity, we thought they would make a great tshirt.
DM, in his thoughtfulness, brought back HA a t-shirt making kit on one of his trips back to the US.
So the boys set aside a weekend to make tshirts. The first step was to find the tshirts. It's hard to find good quality, inexpensive tshirts in Australia but the boys found them. The next step was to decide on what went on the tshirt. HA had one particular quote he wanted on it so that was the first tshirt. Then we have a friend that was leaving Canberra to move to Brisbane, so they decided to make a tshirt for him.
I had no idea screen printing was such a time consuming job.

| The saying is printed onto a wire screen |
 |
| The screen is placed on top of the tshirt and the paint is run over it. This part was a three person job. |
 |
| The final product. We had to redo DM's b/c the paint was too thin. But we thought it would be funny to switch out the tshirts late into the night so that people wouldn't be sure if the shirt was fuzzy or if their vision was fuzzy. |
