Messing with perfection
You know I love my MINI themed clothing - and one of my favourites is the “DaMINI” Tshirt designed by NAM member JoeRKtect:
Well, Joe was persuaded to do the design on a black Tshirt instead of the original (tan?sand?) color and mine arrived today …
Sadly, Joes design turns out to work much better on the original; with the harsh contrast of the black Tshirt and white lettering, what originally was a nice “make-it-look-old” texture now looks more like “didn’t-print-properly”:
(close-up view here)
On the upside, the newly enhanced front design, with extra & slowly fading text, does look quite good:

Nice. Something about it reminds me of the Shroud of Turin! Might have to get me one.

Ian you took the words right out of my mouth. I got 2 of the shirts. 1 for me and 1 for my sis and they both aren’t as well done as the first one.

The original has that parchment look to it whereas all that is lost in the black version. Not a big fan of black Tees anyway.
