I'm working on a tshirt design (just for personal use), and I want to include ウルトラQ (UltraQ) on the design, but I don't want it to look stupid. 1. Is it okay in Japanese for me to stack the letters this way. 2. Are they kerned OK? (I am guessing at the term for letter spacing) I am no designer. So whatever comments are welcome.

I'd be down for one of these too, if you are going to produce a few of 'em. I love all of the opening illustrations, and would love a shirt for each of the kaiju in fact (a different colour/critter a day!).

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Oli! As far as making multiples goes, I looked at making a silk screen, but the materials seem expensive to me. So instead I'm going to try making a butcher paper stencil. This kind of stencil can only be used once, becasue the wax that adheres the stencil to the shirt is spent after one use. On the other hand, the original image I made is available for download from Flickr. Just click on the picture to go to the flickr page to get the full size image. You are more than welcome to take the image and do whatever you want with it. I also looked at on-demand tshirt printing like vistaprint and customink, but these options cost more than I wanted to spend. I already have a couple old blank tshirts I wanted to decorate. |

I think it turned out pretty good! I remembered that I had some sticker paper, so I used that for the stencil. Even the nose holes worked.
