HOW TO MAKE A "STEEM MON" T-SHIRT

in #howto8 years ago

When someone says “STEEM ON” sometimes it sounds like “STEEM MON.”


Today I was wondering what a “STEEM MON” would look like, so I got creative. Back in the day, I used to have a lot of dreadlocks, and listen to a lot of reggae, so I had a dread guy stencil ready to go.

Actually, it was an old self portrait. Once I had asked @mama-pepper, “If you could have anything at all on a T-shirt, what would it be?” She replied, “You,” so I made her a shirt with me on it, after I made a self-portrait of what I looked like at the time. Today I used that as a base for my original STEEM MON T-Shirt.

HERE IS THE PROCESS

STEP 1- Get a white T-shirt.


STEP 2- Put the dread guy stencil on top of the T-shirt.


STEP 3- Spray paint it black.


STEP 4- Add some blue spray paint.


STEP 5- Draw a steemit logo.


STEP 6- Cut the steemit logo out.


STEP 7- Line up the logo on the sunglasses.


STEP 8- Spray paint it blue.


STEP 9- Repeat process for other side of sunglasses.


STEP 10- Admire work so far and make sure that all is well.


STEP 11- Splatter some blue spray paint over the shirt.


STEP 12- Use alphabet stickers to spell “STEEMIT.COM” at the bottom of T-shirt.


STEP 13- Spray paint black paint over the stickers.


STEP 14- Splatter some black paint over the shirt and remove the stickers.


STEP 15- Try the finished shirt on for size.

HERE ARE A FEW MORE SHOTS OF ME WEARING THE T-SHIRT.

Shut up and take my money. Where do I buy this masterpiece?

Hmmm..... I could sell it... are you serious?

Are you kidding me? Make like 50,000 of them, number them and put a piece of paper with them and call them "limited edition" and you could probably charge like $300 bucks each. papa-gucci

I've got yours made already, but I might try something else too!

Awesome, I'm gunna be a walking papa-pepper/steem promotional item. FYI I gave you a shout out in the comments of one of my posts the other day. In case you didn't get it, I wanted you to know that I really appreciate you showing me what a positive male influence in kids lives can look like. You and kenistyles have both given me a perspective I never had and I just don't want to let it go without telling you that it's very important to me and probably many others. Many of us didn't have fathers that actually gave any kind of a shit about how we developed.

Man, I missed this until now, thanks!

But for real, I'm not that good at coloring between the lines and shit and I would totally buy one. https://www.peerhub.com/ https://www.etsy.com/ http://www.ebay.com/

Did you do a blog post with all your crypto shirts? I would like to see it and I liked your comments here to Papa about the male influence etc. @clayboyn

I like the way that you think! Spray painting Ts at STEEMSTOCK!

On the spot work is always popular. It's an attention getter > for sure.

Yo for real, is there a steem get together in Austin soon?

Steemstock- music and art festival fueled by Steemians! Talk to @riosparada and check the @steemstock account.

Crap I just realized if I showed up, people would realize who that crazy bastard telling them they are all slaves to their ego is. <.< >.> "it always feels like, somebody's waaaaaaatchin meeeeee"

Plenty of non Steemians and others should show up, so just blend in.

Great looking t-shirt. And thanks for letting me know about the last two chapters of "Love Like His". They were very exciting and I'm looking forward to the next installment.

You are welcome! It's in the works!

Your a right Poser lol Brill work with the Tshirt looks great :)

Thank you!

Leave it for exclusive @papa-pepper...no duplicates...loved your spray painted t-shirt.

One of a kind... Original. That's pepper style!

Then we all can know you're getting high on Steem 😂

Oh now thats pretty cool, time for me to make a minnow shirt.

Nice artwork, nice t-shirt, nice GIFs. Nice.

Awesome-mon !
You should check into doing a run of silkscreen shirts and hoodies.

@papa-pepper I could help you screen print these and leverage drop shipping sites like Teespring, if your looking to sell.
Let me know. That's what I do with @bitcoinshirtz.

That could be a good idea. Let's talk soon!

Made my... night! Awesome work.

So much greatness and love for you wifey all it one post and it will definitely sell!

What does it mean "Steem Mon"?

Some people pronounce Man in a way that sounds like Mon.

You made my English better )))) Thank you))))

That paint will not last long. You need special inks to attach to cotton.

Actually, they work really well. I've been doing it for decades and have many t shirts that are many years old and have been washed often.

Really creative and artfully tasteful bro. I like the design A LOT! Great job, see if you can test out different paints to see what lasts the longest and has the most quality. Then you can start selling them and they can be washed without being faded or affected so easily.

This method holds up very well. I haven't had any issues and I've been doing it about 20 years.

Oh that's great so the paint stays? Must be quality paint you're using if it doesn't wash off so fast. I had won an artist music painted shirt from ericvancewalton's friend, I wore it one time, washed it, and it looks so faded now.

Hmmm... Not sure about that. I usually wash them first before I give them away, and the design and color ladtv for years!

That's great to hear, I need to start making T Shirts! Your t shirts are definitely worth buying. God gave you many gifts bro

I'm really impressed....FOR REAL!

Well done bro. very cool. what are the restrictions when it comes to using the Steemit logo? I would like to design one for myself as well.

I have no idea what the restrictions are, though I heard that they will be changing it soon.

Suppose it wont hurt if i just do one for myself. thanks for the reply.
