My entry for the Rob & Big Loves comp. This design uses special UV color change ink as stated above, which changes from being almost invisible indoors to revealing bright and hidden colors when exposed to any ultraviolet light!

This sub is dedicated to my sister, who used to have several imaginary friends when we were very young, all of which I apparently didn't believe in. Shows what I know, huh?



Hope you guys like this, and as always lemme know what you think!

I think it's pretty cool but I don't like the shirt color. I'd get one if it were on blue or something other than the natural/creme motif.

I love your monster. It reminds me of Where the Wild Things Are, but without being derivative. I think the overlapping clouds is actually making it difficult to see that he's doffing his hat as he meets the little girl's other friend. And maybe you don't need the horns, either, since they sort of obscure that hat-tipping action as well. Beautiful work.

I love the idea and the design and the illustration- I really dont' like the creme shirts though.



Does the UV ink only show up on light colors?

This is great. An AWESOME idea for UV ink. However, doesn't UV ink tend to fade with washing? I'm thinking of those shirts from the late 80's/early 90's that changed color with heat and stopped working after 2 washes, not sure if it would be the same deal. Monster is adorable too.

Its my friends birthday coming up and i didnt manage to get it for him last year, second time lucky?

I have a girl's medium but he's probably not that small. There is a website, of which I forget the name, that offers used Threadless shirts. I think you can post requests, too. Make a blog and ask for the name of the web address in it (might as well mention what shirt you want in the blog, too). Someone else will give you the info you need.
