Also, here's what the final artwork came out as: https://i.imgur.com/qb9NP.jpg

I had to do some serious smoothing of the turbine, as that machined look just didn't seem like it was going to work on a t-shirt. I think it came out reasonably well.

I will definitely be ordering one of these Joe!

Is this a good quality shirt company? I know some of the random shirts (like the "I am a ************" shirt) run 2 sizes small, while others just feel plain cheap. Does anyone have any experience with this company?

I know the FM shirt I got as a present years ago is of good quality and still fits pretty good. Even the FM sweatshirt I had I was happy with.

I have absolutely no idea. This isn't a silkscreen process, it's a sort of hybrid inkjet thingy. They lay down an opaque white backer, and then shoot the image onto it. It might look like total crap, or it might be awesome. I've never done this before.

I see. Well the only reason I ask is cause I actually want to wear the shirt, rather than get it and never wear it because it fits like dick.

I just checked FM's site and they use cafepress. I can only speak for myself but I liked the quality of the FM shirt and hoodie I have.

This is stupid as **** and is also ugly. More kittens. Also shouldn't that be a boy fairy? Much more sexier.

We appreciate your feedback.

Sure. I asked for a vote, nobody voted. If there's consensus, I can add a slogan. I can even do a couple of different versions.

Tell me which ones, and provide a little guidance on font and style.
