How many do you want to make? Maybe look into DTG printing.

Sublimation would work well with this image. You are limited to white tees really though and only using poly cotton mix garments. If you want cotton or dark garments, then screen print may be the way to go.

This is a simple 5-color print. 4 spot colors with a black halftone.

I wish all jobs were this straightforward.

did you post this twice? I swear i replied in this thread...

you could do CMYK, but I would do the multiple spot print for a better, more crisp look
