That turned out so AWESOME!!! The glossy glaze on the mug, the detail of the fur, the jungle room & mermaids in the background, the far-away look in his blue eyes. He would look great as a full color, oversize print on a T-Shirt :D Now that would be an expensive set-up charge!

Yes, my wife doesn't find Cosmo near as amusing as I do - her tastes run more to Thomas Kinkade :lol:

Thanks Mike! I'm pretty happy with this one, especially his gaze!

Silk Screening an image like this is probably not advisable or cost effective anyway. I have done a few t shirts (for myself to wear) of some of my art using direct on garment printing which is basically an inkjet that prints on fabric. The result has been pretty good and it's been over a year, many washes and the shirts look pretty good still! I may look into that one day.

....and I think Cosmo may look pretty cool strolling through a Kinkade scene!
