DUO-COLORED STENCIL TEES OF YOUR FAVORITE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE! TOTALLY FREE (for you to purchase at fifteen bucks!)

Status Updates:
Cut out stencils for the last names of every candidate to accompany the pictures. No paint yet. (4/25)
Ordered paint online. Need to scourge local liquidators for blank tees before shelling out for another express delivery (4/25)
Ran out of white paint. Painfully acknowledged spray enamel's inability to perform as a substitute. (4/24)
First print ever. Koko marks the moment. Sentimental, yet disappointing (4/22)

Below are the stencil "experiments" in chronological order of when they were made and finished; starting from the first drop to the strained flatus emptied by a sputtering bottle of paint.

Koko the Gorilla. Beacon of intraspecies-intergalaticglobal communication during days, moonlights in the red light district.

Manufacturer's comment: Slightly disappointed with how it turned out despite not missing any detail when making cuts. Koko is not easily recognizable unless pointed out.

Tshirt production? This image is probably copyrighted, so probably not. Unless Koko says it's okay.

Steve Weiner. Thanks for being easy to stencil.

Manufacturer's comment: Less detailed than Koko with better results. Artist immediately spots corners to be cut. Happily expands list of things-to-do with time saved. Using a roller instead of a brush should avoid future incidents of the splotch in his upper right hair (your right.)

Tshirt production? You bet! When the blank shirts arrive, you can purchase a copy with his name underneath his mug at no extra charge! All this will cost you about fifteen bucks.

Jane Fernandes. I apologize for the quality of this stencil.

Manufacturer's comment: Thought it'd be possible to quickly hack-n-slash a stencil while fetching the Fire Medallion in Zelda64, cutting Dr. Anderson's stencil, applying for summer gigs, organizing filed taxes and washing the dishes. Also hurried up the paint job, which explains the splotch under her nose.

Tshirt production? Dr. Fernandes is an attractive lady and this stencil does not do any justice. The size of the reference image has proven to be difficult to work with. Anyone got a larger picture of her? Help?

Glenn Anderson. I apologize too.

Manufacturer's comment: Same as Jane. Except Glenn is not an attractive lady and his reference picture is of a suitable size. It's just difficult to work with. Does not seem to cooperate with granted/borrowed/stolen Photoshop talents. The white paint ran out while dabbing the borders (note to self: drop sponge brush and buy a coupla sponge rollers.)

Tshirt production? While not offically a candidate, there might exist a demand among people who'd like an Anderson shirt. Better pictures, anyone? A better suggestion at separating the contrasts of his shadows/highlights/background/skin tone?

Ronald Stern . I apologize again, jeez.

Manufacturer's comment: After the Jane/Glenn mistake, gave this one a detail job not unlike Koko's. Last drops of grey paint came out pretty well. What ruined it was using spray paint in place for the white fabric paint. Don't do that again, dude. You like, totally trashed it.

Tshirt production? You bet! The prints are guaranteed to kick ass if proper paint is used. Fifteen bucks.
