A local band asked me to do their T-Shirts for a gig this Saturday.
 
They gave me this artwork:

 
And I created this for them (which they approved):

Obviously it wasn't hard to do, just scary when you veer slightly off course.
 
And here is a final printed shirt. I did 47 of them in this first run.

That is a metallic silver, not grey. The green is a color he picked from a previous job which is a bit more yellow than the artwork.

I think they forgot one (they probably don't have an oboe player):

I have to say....Ed did and outstanding job on this. Congratulate him on it. Ok?

Congratulate him on something else good that happened to him today as well. I'll let him tell you all what it is.

And no ...we are not getting married .... So don't congratulate him on that.

Not bad!  But what's the name of their band?

Not bad..but what's that letter 'T' all about? A cactus? Someone carrying suitcases above their head?

I guess the t is the tenor clef, perhaps?

Yep - Quantumeffect missed that when he said they missed one.

I know you like the truth.

The "lyrical" quality of the original seems like it was special.

I would strive to preserve it's charm by tracing and hand editing the vectors.

I'd charge them an extra fee to vectorize their logo and differentiate that from the screen art prep.

I'd give them a logo.eps and logo.ai in return for that fee.

That way they could have the hand hewn look and enjoy a consistent presentation in all of their communications.

It doesn't have to be a large fee and in the end it would provide a massive amount of value.

Said with love and respect.
