I need to put nail polish on sometime...

A) I don't think a vest would be suiting for me.
B) I don't know where I'd find a vest, anyway.

I think the vest Malice speaks of is just a sleeveless t-shirt. As in not the garment more likened to a waistcoat, as many apply the word 'vest' to.

Yeah, I was hoping that's what he meant since vests are easily tacky.
I have sleeveless shirts (though not sleeveless t's to be specific), but I don't have any tights to sleeve up aside from the knee highs which look silly in a sleeveless shirt. Might try pulling it off anyway, even if it looks tacky. I will already look haggard from lack of sleep, might as well go all the way with the "I dressed myself in a sleepless haze and this is what I produced" excuse.

Most of the tights I use are ones I picked up for about a quid for five pairs.
And yeah that's exactly what I meant.
I like tight fitting tshirts but the sleeves and collars are always horrible.
So I rip out the collar so it's not as tight and tear the sleeves off.

Pretty awkward picture of the Siouxsie and the Banshees shirt I've almost finished.
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...cture002-1.jpg
(Stole Cierco's version, xP sorry!)
Probably will need another thin layer of white paint after I iron it.
And for my next shirt, heres the stencil I'll be using:

His hair will be so annoying to cut out!

Those both look awesome! I especially love the second one.
I'm sure Cicero will be flattered to see such a great re-make of her shirt =]

I am flattered =]. Looks very good, and I like to see that design 'living on' as my old Siouxsie t-shirt has long been retired on the brink of death from over-wearing (not to mention it was my very first painted t-shirt and I used very shitty paint that flakes off).
I am now trying to get over the fact that it seems you FREE HANDED those designs. Very impressive.

Thanks  . Well, I made another today:
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...s/SUC52305.jpg
I'd prefer to have the coffin in green, but I don't have any paint in that colour.
And, it's a bit small too but oh well.

Looking at it again the 45 grave shirt is boring as hell, whatever.

I'm going to sew some patches on an old pair of black combat pants I've got, I'm thinking these bands:
Deviated Instinct
Hellbastard
Mob 47
Anal Cunt
hope it'll turn out good. My question is
WHAT KIND OF THREAD DO I USE?
Help.

Wool or synthetic wool looks cool for stitching stuff on.

Whoa, yeah nice free hand work Maxim :|
What do you mean Stormtrooper? General thread you get from supermarkets or hobby/craft places or anywhere will work fine if you're just hand sewing? If you want it to stand out just make sure it's a different colour to the trousers and patches and maybe find thicker thread (or wool like Malice said).

I took this rather boring black t-shirt and I did something interesting with it. I was bored, so I took some bleach and I drew the Bauhaus logo on it.
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/j...n/IMG_0425.jpg
Yeer, it is pretty sloppy. I went over the mistakes with a black sharpie with the intention of using the ink to sort of redye the mistakes.
I didn't have a proper little paintdrush, so I said what the hell, and I used q-tips dipped in the bleach.
I don't know what to do with it, it is so sloppy. I think I will throw it out.

Damn you for being first :P
But seriously, nice work, was it freehand??

You have freehanding SKILLZ there, Maxim.
Bat Brains did the Crass logo over his bleached-and-leopard-printed Converse. No pictures of them though.
