ah, I see it now. How funny, something that's black and white really wasn't (to me).

Knowing this now though, makes me happy because I suppose I unintentionally incorporated an inside joke - and thus it has just become eerily more appropriate for you to have quoted "Ampersand" - & in response to it - I believe it.

I was torn about the splatters - because I didn't want to risk it looking bad-sloppy as opposed to creatively-calculated-sloppy (in other words, it works on paper with the original, but I was afraid that it may not translate well once re-created on the shirt). I cut them into the stencil and then decided to free-hand over it. Except for the key, which I did not know was unintentionally curved, oops!

I'm glad you like it, I figured you would, but it's good to have confirmation that you do (the placement, size, color etc all racked my brain). Jeri picked out the color, and it reminded me the green coat w/ the Obama pin you've posted photos of so I was happy with it.
