Mantis Baby Tee
This artwork started as a multicolored explosion of colored pencils and markers and was scanned in to be cleaned up and Frankensteined digitally.
Unlike my other designs, the Mantis is printed using the direct-to-garment technique (DTG). This prints the design directly into the fabric for a completely seamless feel. This design is printed on a super soft micro ribbed baby tee made of 52% airline combed cotton and 48% polyester. It is mid-length and has a fitted style. The model is 5'2" wearing size XS.
To keep your shirts looking brand new, please review the care instructions for the relevant print style in the drop-downs below!
Every block-printed item is handmade by VesperTwine's owner and artist, Cali. The block-printing process requires a three-day drying time which allows the ink to sink into the fabric of the garment. This gives every item a seamless, comfortable feel. Because every block-printed item is handmade, they all have unique "chatter" marks and areas of distress, making every shirt an original piece. If you'd like to know more about block printing, there's a step-by-step process on the homepage!
Care guide: Wash on a cold setting with a mild detergent. Slight fading on the first wash is expected due to excess ink.
Every screen-printed item is made to have the same look and feel as the original block-printed t-shirt but with a wider color range. After creating the block-printed t-shirt, a vector image is made and sent to a family-run screen-printing company based in the U.S. to be printed. If you'd like to know more about this process, there's a step-by-step guide on the homepage!
Care Guide: Wash on a cold setting and dry on a low tumble. Please do not iron these shirts.
