Hand painted & Tie-dyed cotton Men's Tee
This scenery hand painted on a Gildan cotton tee is one that dads can relate to. This is called "Big Daddy on Guard" because it reflects the protective dad. Inspired by nature, it depicts a father tiger walking guardedly with his cubs. One of his curious cubs is out in front, his/her (depending on your situation) attention is drawn by something invisible to the onlooker meanwhile daddy's other more cautious cub is sticking close to papa.
The process to create this piece entailed dyeing the shirts with denim blue dye in a gradual fade. The scenery was then laid out with a series of handmade stencils and then hand painted with yellow, aqua, cobalt blue, baby blue, and titanium white acrylic paints. Overall, it was 6 hour labor of love but well worth it. This 100% cotton hand painted one-of-a-kind tee shirt effortlessly pairs with any pair of denims. This shirt is a size M but if you wish to have one in a different size, I accept requests. So...what kind of dad are you?

Set iron to cotton setting taking care to avoid the painted portions. Please note that the addition of extreme heat will cause the paint colors to darken and eventually crack.
