I’m really, REALLY happy with the way the way this lettering came out! I accidentally bought pearlized paint, but I love how it makes the letters all shiny. Inspired by the Miracles community center boombox in Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo. Most people get songs stuck in their heads; I get songs AND type stuck in my head. I’ve been obsessed with this for about 3 weeks. If you want to see what I’m talkin’ about it’s in the first 10 minutes of what’d be considered aB movie, so if you hate B movies you don’t have to sit through the whole thing. Although it’s worth grinding your teeth through the awful script just for the music, dancing and fashion. This shirt will undergo more strategic ripping, I just didn’t want to shred it all the way before painting the letters on. If this ever winds up in a thrift store, I’m sure anyone who looks at it will think the same thing that’s crossed my mind many a time in the t-shirt section, “What the heck is this?” Well, it makes sense to me and that’s all that matters. I’m going to wear it on my birthday next week.
