absolutely love the tree one.
makes me think of a really unique take on the white tree of gondor.
My black metal fu is off. What do the bottom ones say?
- So the tree shirt:
  Top = "Do Be Very Afraid" This is the front of the shirt, should have clarified. Back of the shirt has my little demon dude with top and bottom text.
  Top = "We Will Come For You All"
  Bottom = "We R Comin 4 Ya"
  Symbols used: Anarchy symbol, two Croix de Lorraine (anti-Nazi stuff and a few other meanings), and the lines that look vaguely like - Japanese characters represent 1312. Three dashes with a line through, and then two dashes with a line through. The 'seven' looking character is if you add all of 1312 together. You get 7.
Shit, forgot this one in the collage:
Not really my kind of 'design' but I quite like that nonetheless! It's very interesting and original. The tree one would be me pick if I had to pick one.
May I ask how you do that? Is it just painted on the fabric?
- Yup, just bleach direct to any fabric
  
  Thx a lot. And, once again, real nice job :)
  
  Nice, is the bleach thickened to prevent bleeding?
- I've been doing something I assume it's similar, my drawing skills are way worse though. I put a piece of cardboard or wood inside the shirt, clamp it with something to make it easier to draw without the shirt moving around. I pour some bleach in a shot glass and use a paintbrush. When you're done soak the bleached area with peroxide to stop it from continuing to react. Experiment on some expendable material first. Also I use some chalk to roughly get an idea of are and scale I'm drawing.
  
  Thx for explanation :)
Amazing! I'd wear these even having no idea which band is being promoted!
rad
I'm gonna need every bleach pen in town is what I think, fuck! This rules, I wanna try
- OP said previously that they use a marker that they've emptied (somehow) and refilled with bleach!
  
  Something like a Montana Empty Marker Pen, do you think? That sounds workable
Very cool. Love the tree one in particular!
My first one on here: https://reddthat.com/post/44438669
First thoughts:
Genuinely terrifying, but also kinda pretty
I feel like doing something like this to some old shirts now
Neat!
I remember your first post, these are indeed dope! Glad you’ve got some more creativity flowing, how are you doing nowadays?
- Thank you, and I'm okay. Just trying to take each day as it comes. Trying to find some help and maybe found some, just hope it's genuine.
  
  Sounds like you’re doing all you can. Hope that help works out.
When Olmec takes LSD...
Not my style but still pretty cool.
Hard af! I love them! How do you make them?
- I have paintbrushes and bleach, and some markers I emptied to then refill with bleach!
I absolutely love the tree one! Are these for sale?
- Yes they are! :)
