there are a couple of quick tips that can make these shirts look a lot neater.
first of all, you'd probably want to eliminate all of the underspray (where the spraypaint got under the stencil) and the overspray (where the stencil wasn't big enough [its always the stencil's fault ). I would buy some spray adhesive and spray it on the back of the stencils before you place it on the shirt. You have to just lightly dust it and then wait a minute or two before you place it ont he shirt, though. It just needs to be lightly tacky so it doesn't leave any residue, but it should help hold the stencil flat to the shirt (you might need to press it tightly)

Also, inverting the robot stencil would look a lot neater. The design is nice, but the big blotchy green area that defines the design doesn't look as professional.

I hope if you do remake these shirt, you will post the pictures. Good Luck!

Loved the robo snail. My friend and I especially loved the "I wish i was full of money" robot shirt.

The idea was to look a little messy, i didnt want it to look completely neat ya know. But thanks a lot for the tips. As soon as I go and buy new white shirts I'll set about to making new ones.
