Best options for DTG with no minimum?

I'm designing a t-shirt for a client who only want 1 shirt (possibly 1 of each variation I end up doing will he a print). I don't know much about printing on fabric but I read that DTG is the best affordable option. I'm just here to provide the files.

Where should I point my client to next?

Is this possible to get online? Is there a site you've personally used and are happy with? How long did you wait and has the print lasted?

A local print shop would be my choice but infortunately a lot of those are closing down and I don't know my client's location. Any reliable chains in the US?

TIA!

Gotta hold onto the beans to keep them from rolling away in your sleep

Rumor has it that Gatsby might be the #1 most specialist boy in the world and he is not beating the allegations. 💕

Best method for screen printing design in CSP?

Hi, I have a client who wants a t-shirt designed. I suggested screen printing for quality and longevity. While I was researching I read the best way to do this is with vectors. However I also read that CSP is not optimal for vector art, but it's what I'm most comfortable with (and I'm not being paid for the time it would take to learn a new program haha).

Should I start with vector layers from the beginning, or could I convert raster layers to vectors and/or export as .eps afterwards if I draw large enough (like 1000 dpi)? The design has a lot of clean, bold edges so clarity is important.

TIA!

[I use CSP 1.5 Pro on Windows]

ETA: We are going with DTG this time but I'm inspired to learn Affinity since that will open more opportunities for me in the future. Thanks for all the tips! :D

I tried the toothbrush again on a whim. He figured it out this time, I'm so proud!!!

Withdrawals while decreasing citalopram

I plan to decrease my citalopram from 40 to 20mg this summer. I'm going take time off from work because of how severely withdrawal symptoms affect me.

​

I have to take it exactly 24 hrs spart or else I start feeling dizzy and feverish. If I miss one dose, I'm stuck in bed for 2 full days. So I expect I won't be able to work for at least 1 week, maybe 2. I'm trying to get a better picture of how much time I should request off. I'm a dishwasher so I'm on my feet the whole shift.

​

If you had severe withdrawal symptoms from citalopram, how long did it take to return to your normal activities?

Following his death defying accident and a couple of bonks from the window sill, Gatsby is safe to survey his kingdom at last

Gatsby had a terrifying fall from a 3rd story window about a month ago and scraped by with a bump on the head and a minor lung contusion. I had a reinforced screen installed the next day, and my mom just made this bolster blanket so he won't hurt himself on the window sill/crank.

The only way this cat is getting hurt now is if a grand piano crashes through the ceiling Loony Toons style. 😩

ETA: Here's the story about his fall, if you missed it: https://www.reddit.com/r/nervysquervies/s/PqHSc1VoKH

Ultra small lucky star folding paper <1cm

Wow, everyone in here is so talented 😅 I just have a silly question about where to get star paper thinner than 1cm? I uncovered some old jars I'd Iike to fill but the opening is too narrow for standard stars to fit!

I used to get mini paper from Ebay but I don"t know what to search anymore; small, mini, 0.5cm, etc just shows me 1cm listings. Similar with Etsy and AliExpress. Makes me think I'm either doing it wrong or that there isn't much of a market for stars you can barely see...

If you make your own, how do you do that? I have the most basic HP printer, a simple straight edge & xacto. Is there a reasonable priced service that will print and cur a custom design for me?

TIA! Hope one day I'll make something rad to post here too. 😊

Wobbly cat vs. 1 full oz of churu

This is Gatsby. He has a neurological condition called cerebella hypoplasia. Marked by an underdeveloped cerebellum, CH affects coordination and balance. Gatsby is on tne severe side of moderate since he's unable to walk more than a couple of steps, but I'm starting to think he doesn't know he's different.

Gatsby also gets medicine with churu every morning. He stands on the couch and screams until I bring it to him, then insiste that he stand while doing it. He usually eats lying down but he was feeling dangerous today.

Nerysquervy fanart!

I needed pet portraits for my portfolio so I picked some recent posts and drew them. I haven't drawn in a long time so I'm very pleased with how these came out. :)

u/flydove7's Donut, u/gooddogpetter's Stefan, u/kizzy_catwoman's Truly, and of course my Gatsby. 💕

Dust sandwich

Gatsby informed me today that the mattress in the pillow fort is for playing *under,* actually, not on top.

He likes to crawl into pillowcases but what is a mattress cover if not a big pillowcase?
