Figured I'd post up my side business that I started a while ago with a buddy of mine.
We decided to create a t-shirt company using inspiration from some of our favorite shows on tv/radio; Ancient Aliens and Coast to Coast AM. We love to think up conspiracy theories/legends/etc and put an alien spin on them.
My buddy is a phenoimal artist and draws up our ideas and I turn them into digital images. I created our site from scratch, and I like to think it turned out pretty sweet.
I'd love to hear your opinion or any ideas you might have!
Our site is Alien Apparel Mods I know I'm not a vendor, so feel free to lock this if its not allowed. [ March 22, 2012, 11:27 PM: Message edited by: myzticsnake ]

yup. We've looked at doing some screen press work, but we like the image quality and detail better with our high resolution images.

No, we use a heat transfer medium that you print onto using a CLC style printer. The process is a little different for a light colored vs a dark colored shirt, but its the same result.

I'd definately do that, however, I dont own the site and I'd have to make sure the owners dont mind me making a profit off their name.
