Get yourself a sewing machine, buy already printed spongebob fabric, and sew him a shirt.....or have LOTS of money for a custom shirt to be made in a short turnaround...

Teddy definitely has the right idea there. It's too ambitious for a one-off, and too illegal for a run (nor do you want more than one anyway). Plus no commercial printer with any sense would touch that job.

If you can find pre-printed fabric (and it definitely might exist) that would have the advantage to even being legal for you to make the costume out of it

wow... if you value your relationship with him please reconsider

I don't see any printer doing that for a cost that is even close to worth it. You might even try using an at home iron on transfer... could work with multiple pages just get the printing/cutting pattern right...

I think TeddyROck has the right idea.

Buy some SpongeBob bedding.....lots of that cheap on eBay. Sew up a patch work sheet, then sew it into a shirt.
