I own a handyman business and it was cheaper to start screenprinting than it was to buy 6 t shirts. So now I'm making weird shirts.
I made this T shirt with Diogenes on there I call it "looking for an honest man"

I used to work in a screenprinting factory for years. It was fun and I miss that work sometimes now. I should set up a little corner with a single frame and do some experimenting...

If you don't mine me asking, did you find a starter kit or just buy all the parts and supplies separately?

I bought a kit but if I were going to do it over I would have pieced it out. I've never done it before so I didn't really know what I needed. So I bought the kit, then I ruined a bunch of stuff and lost a lot of time b/c the kit I got was so low quality. Especially the emulsion they sent with it was BAD. I've replaced most of the kit with speedball stuff which I recognize isn't like the gold standard or anything but the price/quality is right where I wanted it. Piecing it out myself would have saved a lot of time and money. The only thing I'm still using out of that kit is a piece of white melamine board, scoop coater, and exposure light

A truly dull man would have called it "Looking for the camp restrooms."

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

But this is the opposite of dull. Excellent work!
