Okay so here goes... Some background
My husband and I bought some images at an estate sale that we knew we needed to put on t-shirts. After much research we found they are not copyrighted so now we begin trying to get them onto shirts.
The images are vintage govt. training propoganda (which sounds odd, but the are super cool)
We are ordering shirts from Alternative Apparel and plan on starting with 10 designs (some for women, some for men) We are only printing about 25 of each design to take them out and shop them around...
I have yet to settle on a screenprinter. I am worried that my images are so unique (and can prove to be incredibly valuable) How do I ensure that my screens are not used to print anything I dont authorize? Is there a standard contract? Should I have a lawyer draw something up?
Any exampes of Lookbooks? I tried one link to one and it was dead.
Also, screenprinting gurus.... We have a vintage image, on a vintage shirt - Is there a technique that can make the screening look aged? I just dont want it to appear brand new. KWIM?
We are targeting the SoHo boutique market and hoping to have a pretty hefty retail price. A gal can wish, right?
Sorry I am all over the place, I am just excited to get some feedback on here.
