Dizzy T-shirt!

[slycat]

I got me a new t-shirt today :)

No prizes for anyone who recognises the character as being Dizzy from the 8-bit computer era (I personally had the games on Spectrum) but kudos to those old enough to remember :P. I've pretty much been after a decent Dizzy t-shirt in ages but nowhere has done anything with the character until recently I found this which is quite frankly shit, and isn't using the original sprite which I preferred. So, I took it upon myself to make myself a Dizzy t-shirt and with the help of Spreadshirt and a suitable image, I was able to create the t-shirt seen on the left.

I'm quite pleased with the end result although the image is ever so slightly offset to one side. To be honest it didn't look 100% centred on the web site when I was designing the shirt, however I had used the centre option on the site so had presumed it would be OK. As it's only slight, I'm not going to bother complaining. Because I used the digital-direct printing option, I got the t-shirt made for £14.10 including postage which was pretty good. I ordered it on the Sunday and it was shipped by the Monday which was also rather impressive. However, I didn't realise they ship from Germany so it took 3 days for delivery.

Incidentally, Spreadshirt are the t-shirt printers of choice for the LondonFurs apparel which is how I found them in the first place. It was quite an easy site to use to make the shirt, I just needed to enlarge my image and make sure the background was transparant... which is harder than it sounds when your image is white.

Anyhoo, now I've got the geeky t-shirt I've wanted for so long, and I'll be sure to show it off at the Eurogamer Expo which I'm planning to attend at the end of October :D
