[challenge entry] A repost for the comp

Also, a question. I'm working on an image to be printed on t-shirts but before I save it, what's the best format for this so as to not lose quality? Thanks.

# Depends on the program you're working in.
Any vector format .eps or even .pdf will keep its quality and be infinitely resizable.

# Otherwise a high res .jpg or .png depending on the design.

# Thanks
I'm using Paint Shop Pro 9. I saved as eps and it looks like the quality is the same.

# I don't know paint shop pro, so I don't know how that will effect your image if you weren't already using vector lines.

# That's ok
It's on a black background for a black t-shirt with only 2 other colours. Should be alright, it's mean to look hand drawn anyway.
It's actually an enhancement of an old Mudhoney t-shirt that I used to have but they don't make them now. Funny that, it was only more than 20 years ago!

try to remove as much black from your background prior to print, it alwas looks wrong, wrong shade of your black or their fabric, use the fabric as much as you can.
