Shirts
Hi everyone and welcome on my small design-den called “REYKJAVIK” in Germany. I’m creating all my designs and stencils here to paint shirts with tiny paws. Each shirt is an original due to its brushstrokes and also due to its colorpatters and the usage of special colors like metallic, colorshifts, neon and also some that glows in the dark as well.
Made with tiny paws
The Technique im using is similar to the classic screen-printing but different. I don’t use a sieve – just the stencil I’m producing and this doesnt just give me the freedom of different sizes and positions, but also a higher variation in the use of color. Such as spray effects, fadings, brushstrokes or special mixed colors which doesn’t work with a sieve. Of course, these techniques can be combined many ways – this multiplies the possibilities and the individuality of each work of art. This makes every piece unique. And this all its made with tiny paws.

Nothing (“No-Ink”) but vivid colors
Iam using paint – not ink! And thats already the difference. Paint has way a higher densety of pigmentation – and it can also contain special pigments like metalic, colorshift or special ones such as fluorescent and phosphorescent pigments in a combination to increase the vivitation. This allows me to paint directly on the fabric. No white base layer, no preparation or other tricks are needed. Only the pure color on the fabric can unleash the full potential of vibrancy and let it become alive. This turns a simple textile into a play of colors that can only be found in nature.
Nothing but vivid colors!
But will it … glow?
The simple answer is YES. and the next answer is: YES it glows in different colors too!
After more than a year of experimenting and testing, now I can say I have found a solid combination to mix a color that produces an afterglow. (After it was exposed to visible or UV-light) But not just that – I also work now fluorescent too, which are usually to thin to paint directly on dark materials. But as a fox, I have found a workaround and solved this issue. Aside the standard colors, there is a afterglow-white and now afterglow-neon in pink, red, yellow, green and blue available.
Made to wear, made to enjoy
With great colors comes great durability? To be honest, nothing last forever. No fabric and no paint will remain forever. The paint is made to last and to give you many many many times a smile on your face when you use it. Some of the pieces I own are washed more than 20 times and the colors are still there and still vivid. They wont fade awy, but they can break away. The abillity of cutton and other fabrics to move and fold is higher than any paint can be. And this mechanical wornout can’t be stopped. But the big difference is: it sticks harder in the fabric and the paint will last longer than usual prints. It needs more nechanical power to get it out of the fabric.
Grab it, wear it, enjoy it, wash it and repeat
The colors can’t fade away itself – it can just loose material on the fabric which gives the whole piece a light vintage look. But because it sticks deep into the fabric and inbetween all the fibers that hold everything together, the procress of getting “vintage” is a very slow procress that can be increased when disregarding the instructions. Such as higher temperatures, tumble dry, chemical cleaning or steam.
