hemp t-shirt No. 1

Last week I dropped by the 420 Hemp Shop to purchase my monthly bar of soap and got talking with Danny, the owner, about printing slogans and images on hemp t-shirts. He had a rack of t-shirts that had been damaged by the sun and was marking them down in price to try to sell them. Well, it gave me an idea.... a few years back I purchased some basic silk screen equipment with the intention of creating designs to silk screen onto hemp t-shirts to sell at the 420 Hemp Shop. This idea of mine never materialized until this week... I offered to take a few of the t-shirts home to fix up by printing designs overtop of the sun-damaged areas and Danny, bless his heart, said "sure, go for it!" So, I've had fun letting the creative solutions flow. Here's the first t-shirt; I've posted before and after shots, just for fun!
