since then, i stumbled across a local screen printing shop in my neighborhood. i got talking with the lady one day about making my first shirt, sent her the design that night and the next day i stopped by to show her what i didn't want. i took our school shirt (it turned out ok but not great. the graphic was 6 layers thick, plastic like, and the color green was actually made up of blue and yellow dots. pixelated and weird.) i got across what i did want and we settled on a price (R$ 12 per shirt.)
the next couple of days was consumed by getting the design print ready, which shouldn't have been that hard considering we were only working with 2 colors, brown and white. to make a short story just a little shorter, the shop doesn't have a printer (i know, awkward) so there was a third party included (made things more complicated.) the third party tried to virtually redo my design because he didn't know how to use CorelDRAW (i thought he did, thats why i transfered it to .cdr anyway) came out terrible. blah, blah, blah. the re-do (of the re-do) came out perfect and today i am going to stop by to look at the first shirt.
excited...

HOTNESS mai brotha!
you just need another little start up fund. I was checking into selling my lappy for 2500, and if i had the keyboard working, i would have done that... then i could give you sum start up...
as for now- keep up the good work. Make a shirt with that Ezekial verse i showed you :P
Woah! Lee has his own T-shirt place, sweet! By the way, I love the design, it's very nice, keep up the cool desing work. Who knows, you might become somebody half-way decent! XD Jk...

That school tee you linked to is really fantastic- it was a cool idea to mash the flags together like that, the resulting color explosion rocks.
