I give thanks to my loyal customer Fr Dean, whom gives me loads of work, usually with short turn around times and minimum quantities. Always providing Joy and quality art work file to hand cut.

Sometimes the old fashion way is better for this type of work and also no delay in waiting for the photographic screen technique to be applied. These T shirts were well received and used for a one night concert, very impromptu indeed.

Mercy!!!
