Man, that's brilliant that you made your own shirt.

Man, I used to silkscreen tons of shirts.  Almost all were album covers, but a few were film-related.  It was a big hobby of mine from about 1980-1994 or so.  After that it was just one a year or so. 

I put a great deal of time into them and was very strict about remaining true to the source artwork. I was in graphic arts for many years, so getting film positives shot to use on the screens was easy for me.  I just had to do the color separations myself.

The very last one I did was U2 - Pop.  The one before that was Yes - Talk.  I wore the Yes shirt to the Talk concert and several people asked where I got it, because it wasn't at the souvenir shirt booth.

Been a long time, man.  These days you can buy just about anything.  No need to make your own. 

*edit*
Target and Walmart have huge selections of Ts with all sorts of stuff on them - music, movies, etc. The internet has access to even more.  I sometimes think about jumping back in and knocking out a few, but I can find just about anything I want online.  Every T-shirt I wear these days is either Astros, Genesis, or Triumph.

By the way, Kev, very nice on getting to meet Eva Marie Saint.
