The red Lion
I had an idea a few days ago. Its pretty nifty!!!
I go in the internet, download a cool large pic (like that cliche biohazard thingy), take it to a printing facility, tell them to print it on a special paper and stuff, then i get the printed thingy, remove with scissors the bits which where printed, put the print over a shirt, and spray it with black ink. There you go, a cool hand made illustration on your shirt for some 1,25 bucks!
well i wanted to have the red lion, the imperial flag of scotland, but i only have crappy images of it, like this one
http://www.dellta.org/images/flags/bigroyal.jpg
which is too tiny.
Did any of you had this idea before?
Can someone give me better pics?
thank you all people

Re: The red Lion
Have you any idea how difficult its going to be to 'cut it out' in a way thats accurate enough to not look misformed on a t-shirt?

yeah right.
bear in mind its going to be all black on a white background, so any mnor mistakes you make will be amplified by a factor of around 50 million.
Plus doing it like that wouldn't get you nice curves, and unless the curves are close to perfect it will look stupid.

8 euros are you mad?
the 1,25 bucks i was referring to was 1,25 reais (brazilian currency) which means 0,30 Euros or something like it
With 8 euros i could buy a propper shirt!

Or several proper shirts, judging by how expensive shirts were when I last went to Brazil.

I've been to Rio several times (with some short trips to Petropolis while I've been there).

Not really, I'm afraid. My main impressions seem to be that it's very hot (even in winter), the food is fantastic (chocolate pizza is the best food ever, by the way) and the waves at the beaches are enormous (and the sea is warm, which is nice). Also, everything's cheap for foreigners, because the exchange rate seems to be slightly (extremely) messed up. Oh, and I went into the jungle once, but there were far too many poisonous snakes and tigers and things so I never went there again.
