Gaming t-shirts are something that I have plenty of, from graphic t-shirts from stores with Mario references to custom shirts that I have made for local gaming tournaments with groups of friends. All my custom shirts in the past have been made using iron-on paper that you print on. Makes the shirts very fast, but generally they don't last really long and you can see the outlines of the entire iron on sheet eventually.

My wife does a fair amount of crafting though and came home the other day with some custom baby shirts for my sister who is expecting. These shirts were done with stencils and fabric paint and looked really nice. From doing some reading they stand up to washing and general wear very well. So with that information my mind starting going about all the crazy shirts that I could make with game references.

So the other day my wife and I sat down and made several shirts. I was even able to get some shirts for our kids made with some game references on them!

First up was a t-shirt for our oldest and a diaper shirt for the one we are expecting ( I got this design online ):






Next I gave a shot at recreating my Halo emblem (custom stencil):




Finally, this one took quite a while given all the unique shapes (custom stencil):




I think they turned out really well and I have a bunch of other ideas for shirts now that I have tested a pretty simple design and a much more complex one. The process is pretty simple and can be found online if you are interested.

Howdy Destructoid. I've been here for a while, reading and commenting every now and again but I haven't really jumped into the community aspect of the site. Recently I have been getting the itch to get myself out there a little more and share with the community. I've recently completed a few things that I thought were worthy of sharing but thought first I should go ahead and introduce myself. So here goes!

I am a 27 year old Canadian and playing video games has been a part of my life for about as long as I can remember. I still have all the old systems that I had growing up right from my Atari through to my current generation of consoles, and really enjoy going back and dusting them off every once in a while to play the classics that I grew up with.

Currently I have been wrapped up in Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom on the Wii. I recently completed No More Heroes as well for the first time and really enjoyed it. I am looking forward to giving the second one a go. For Xbox Halo has been what has been eating most of my time recently and I am looking forward to Crackdown 2 and the Reach beta.

There it is, a snapshot of me as a gamer and what I am currently involved in. I already have ideas for my next few CBlogs to share some stuff that I have been working on and look forward to hopefully keeping this up to date and entertaining!
