Yup, SEN got my vote, whoever it was that thought it up.

Hmm, its a fair cop. And like Martyn says, potatoes spring to mind, or melting
snowmen. The hawk is way too small as well. My only defence being as I remember
letting rip with an airbrush at about 1 in the morning to do that design, after
a few too many pints of Crones scrumpy %-}

Sheesh. Really, some people...

Most of the cheapo "put a design on a shirt" places round these parts rely on
a straight photocopy of the picture onto a transfer which is applied to the
shirt. Fer some reason, it seems that the surround always comes out white,
which in turn means generally only white shirts are used. Bummer. Hence my
thoughts of putting it onto a transparent.
