Description

The second edition of a popular, sellout title about how to turn one's home into a T-Shirt Factory; perfect for the DIY, rough-around-the-edges hipster look currently sweeping the nation.

Now, thanks to this wonderful comic book, I can make screen prints at home, too! It's a bit more complicated, especially if you want more than one color, but John breaks down the process into easy-to-understand steps. He shares his experiences selling his work, moving out of his house and into mass-production and gives helpful hints to DIY printers along the way. - Xerography Dept Ever wanted to make your own t-shirts?
