Into The Black

I discovered a design that I like, called the Earth Shirt. There are lots of ways to do it: I chose to put the Earth on the left side of the shirt as a partial planet, and I outlined it with some crazy colours like fuchsia and yellow (not sure why, although the yellow punches the edge out somewhat) before adding the black. In the first and only attempt at this design (so far), the black has crept into the yellow -- I haven't worked out the details of making the black stay, so my use of black has been limited so far. Some people put the Earth in the front and centre of the shirt -- I prefer a less Earth-centric view of the universe, which is one reason I put the Earth on one side.

And because I'm a fan of the show Firefly and its movie sequel Serenity, I titled the shirt Into the Black. Which is another reason why I put the Earth on one side of the shirt, rather than in the centre.

In summary: the design is very easy, but the black is hard to deal with.
