Need some shirts!
« on: November 08, 2017, 06:47:45 PM »
Looking for some Adult large\x-large wacky shirts. (Size depends on how much beer/wine/pizza I've had over the week-end)

I will be proudly wearing them, so NWT not necessary.

Prefer:
-10 Again = Neveready, Tied, Weakies, Hungry Jerk, Camals.
-Freeze = Any of them!!
-Top Heavy = Ajerx, Cram, Hawaiian Punks, Kook Aid, Tied, Weakies.

Have you tried making one? You can get iron-on's for your printer that are pretty sturdy. I made a "Ghoul Humor" shirt!

Hmmm.. I certainly did think of that (not sure how you did yours).

If I take a picture of the Ajerx that I own, can I use that picture to make one of these home made iron-on t shirts?
Is that ok as long as I don't sell it, or try to make a profit somehow?

I'm no attorney, but, I don't think legally you're allowed to do that.  Not sure.

Honestly, I never gave a second thought about the legality of making something in my own home, for my own purpose.

I used scans found online as opposed to taking a picture.

Given the lack of moderation by Topps to control images actually created by their organization such as lost wacky's which were produced and distributed for profit I sure as hell wouldn't worry about making your own shirt.

Ah...good point.  I think I'll give it a try.  Thanks.

I made a Coca-Cobra tie using the iron-on process and have yet to be busted by the NYPD.  Topps's Pinkerton-like agency headed by Bazooka Joe, however, is another matter entirely...

That....is awesome!!  Great idea.
A 6 Up would fit perfectly too!

You're absolutely right!  "6 Up" would fit perfectly.  "Ajerx" would probably work, too. 

I picked up the tie at a local Goodwill to experiment on.  I wanted solid black, so the black title border would blend in.  The tie is really slender, however, slenderer than the majority of my other ties.  With a wider tie, I'd say that a lot of the vertical WP would probably fit.

I think the next one I'm going to try is "Yeti Wip."  Or maybe "Rabid Shave."  Haven't really made up my mind, yet.  You got me thinking, though!

Grab a couple of ties from a thrift store and play around.  They only cost about 50 cents apiece.

I'm thinking a cool idea might be to get a couple of candy bar parodies, and then run them diagonally up the tie.  Might work.  Have to give it a try.

Nice!

This title might go well on a tie. With a vintage Windsor knot.

Remember to reverse the image (flip horizontally) when printing.

OK...
So I took a picture of my Ajerx, altered it in Lightroom, and printed it on Jet-Pro SS brand transfer paper. 
Ironed it on a plain white t-shirt.
The front is good, but I tried to iron a mirror image on the back of the t-shirt first.  It didn't work so well.
(I'm learning.  Will try again):

Wow, the front looks great. I should do this with the original art to Hurts to make super high quality Hurts shirts!

Thanks!  Yep...it did come out nicer than I expected.
Pretty flexible and stretchy too.  Let's see what it looks like after a washing or two.

I bet the detail in that Hurts original art would show up pretty well.
