Haha... groovy man.
I suppose I could put a tie-dye frame around the image, maybe run it through a Peter Max filter so it's really period-correct.
For now, white only. It's all about the contrast. They make a mat'l for dark colors but I think it's just thicker.
I plan to get some samples and test but I shoot dark anyway and there's often a lot of contrasty dark areas in my stuff
so, I am not optimistic right now- sorry.
Even with screenprinting, the colors need to be underlaid with a coat of white when printing on dark colors.
there's a transfer process that requires a plotter with an optical reader where you cut a contour around the graphic and then cut a matching layer of white mat'l to go under it.
not interested- just wanna put my photos on some shirts, man.
I'm having fun with the transfer abuse.
So far- wire brush, scuff pad, serrated bread knife, exacto blade--
I gonna crumple one up and then flatten it out for pressing...

Who will be the first to step up and order the Sunkin boat collage pic you put together on a shirt? Then wear it to a poker run!
