Recently made this design for Mike Woodworth, a MMA fighter in CA with a clothing line. He was nice enough to send me a shirt and I thought it turned out awesome on the acid wash shirt with red foil! Love it when I get shirts, especially when it's my art on them! Just thought that TSF would be the place where others would be as excited to see print results as I am, lol.

Very Nice James... It is always nice to see one of our own that turns out as good or better than we expected

is that a heat transfer?

Nope, pretty sure he went with traditional screen printing.

Is that actual shiny ink then? I have always wondered how to get that shiny look

I remember reading a thread on here about a type of screen print ink that turns "foil" once it's cured? I'm pretty sure that's what this shirt has.

Rodney, can you help me out with the link to that thread?

Foil is a secondary process. They probably screened discharge ink for the "normal" printing, than printed plastisol ink down. They then lay foil over the print and hit it with the heat press. The foil will stick to the plastisol, and not stick to the discharge ink or the bare shirt.

Awesome design by the way!

Thanks guys! And thanks Nick for explaining the general process for us.

Great design. Its also nice to see that you don't just draw 1 half of a piece and copy/paste it on the other half. It makes it look a ton better to not have that repetitive texture.

Very very nice design.
