i have been visiting the t-shirt place quite frequently these days. every time i show up the lady there is giving me little odds and ends to do. i quickly figured out this isn't going to pay much (for just a text "art" i'll prob get a little less than R$5 but for real arts, like that
shirt i designed, i'll get around R$30. you gotta take into consideration the fact that the text "arts" only take 5 mins to do anyway.) anyway, now through Sunday i am going to work with trying to separate the colors on
that shirt and then printing them (with the right sizes so they fit together perfectly) on veggie paper (and no, i figured out pretty fast it doesn't taste good with ranch.) vegetable paper is a semi-transparent and cheap substitute for the more expensive polyester paper.
i got the front done with the right measurements (27cm length) i should get the back done tomorrow.
ok, so i tried to print some text out on some veggie paper with my ink printer and i figured out why you are suppose to use lazer printers. the ink on veggie paper blotches and bleeds. well, so i thought. so i took the text to a local lan house that was suppose to have a lazer printer, they didn't. but the guy said that his prints didn't bleed. so either, his ink is differant, his printer, or his settings. i am going to try this at home on anther HP printer (the same brand the guy at the lan house used) and i will keep you posted on how my printing of my color separated art works out.
that's it. God bless.

i saw your shirt and left a comment. i like it but there is definantly room for improvement. i think i am going to put up my hand shirt at that site. i wouldn't be allowed if i had already up it up for the contest at threadless.com but i didn't. only for critiques.
p.s. we go by the same name (but mine is actually my middle name)
Yea, I kind of noticed that we went by the same name. But most people call me Lee Anne.
Was your comment the one about getting rid of the box?
I guess I agree, But I am kind of lazy to fix it. I'll try though.
