This tee was designed with flexibility and ease of production in mind. In addition to a high-falutin'-six-color version, there is a single and three color offering. I've also given the client a myriad of base color options. You can see several of those options as well as details from them all below or <a href="http://frenden.com/eat-the-rich-apparel-illustration/">view even larger images on my blog.</a>

This is probably my fave piece of yours. Great colours in pretty much all the versions but particularly the 1 & 6 colour opts. My only, minor, crit would be that the type & splat look a little under-worked in comparison to the rest of the illustration...but again, thats a minor concern. 9263

I had some specific art direction on the letters, so that accounts for some of it. :) 9263
