Team Spike T-Shirt Design!

So...I finally got around to taking pictures of the official Team Spike t-shirt design :)

Here's the what you do. You take the picture below:

And crop it on your computer so only the picture itself shows with the white background. If you make the white background whiter with some techy stuff, all the better for you, I would think. Oh! If you'd like to save money on the printing, I would use techy stuff to add the title "TEAM SPIKE" in big capital letters across the top. I made this design blank so you guys can add to it however you'd like :)

If you guys need help on the techy stuff, let me know!

Next, you can either:

a) find the online service you are using to make your shirt and continue with these instructions or, if you'd like to make it all on your lonesome, skip these instructions and go down to part b.

Once you've found the online service, follow the instructions! BUTTT!!! Make the design uber huge (you may need to resize it before you upload it, depending on the site) so that the top of the weeping willow is at your shoulder-ish and the bottom reaches the bottom hem. Yup. UBER HUGE! Now, you're done, hehe.

b) I'm a cheap bastard and decided to make my shirt myself. So, first I made a transparency out of it and used a projector in the art class room to blow it up...

I put a clear plastic stencil sheet my art teacher gave me over the top and am cutting out of that with an exacto knife. If you pick a thinner piece of poster than I did (aka, almost any piece of poster board *facepalm*) you can cut straight out of that. Then you put newly made stencil over shirt and spray paint it.

I read online that spray paint doesn't come off in the wash, but I don't know yet. I'll post pictures once I've finished the shirt and tried to wash it :)

I made the design uber simple so you guys can customize it however A friend of mine who hasn't read the story took one look at my design, went "Aww! It's cute! Make me a shirt with this!" and then attacked it with a pencil:
