This was when I was performing a few times a week with bands and needed something to wear that was different from anyone else. I would buy plain white Ts and cut the hems off at the neck and arms. Then I would cut out a stencil and use auto spray paint to transfer it to the shirt.
My favourite design had the words ‘YOU HAD SEX WITH A WHAT?’ on the front. On the back was one of a variety of designs. I had made cutouts in the shapes of a turtle, a crab, a shark, a lobster and a starfish. I would use these stencils to spray the outline of the animal in black onto the back of the shirt. Then I would use other colours to spray detail onto them.
I sold a few off my back at venues where we were playing but never made the effort to try for profit. In England, I toned down the wording to, ‘You did what? With a what?’ in order to promote Sex with an Enormous Fish. You can buy one if you like. £20. It will take about two weeks to get to you.
Tasteful front of shirt
...and the back.
