NOTE: this is not an art bash, and I would highly recommend following the artist's work; link provided in their usernames in the line bellow name
I've recently purchase a design from Society6 of the art piece by Silisboo, or mablerok

"you don’t have to be uchi to join the uchi gang!
(also made it available as a shirt!)"
I can't tell you how awesome this design of their's is, and I liked it so much that I went out and bought a T-shirt of it to add to my odd collection of T-shirts
and moments ago the shirt finally arrived and... well...

It could be that this was an iron-on transfer, but it's quality is quite muddy; also doesn't help since I purchased the light gray shirt and it came darker than what the site presented.
I'm not hating the shirt, and most definitely won't call for a refund, but it does leave a bit of sour in the mouth when it looks like this, And it leads in to a rant of mine about artists working with 72dpi vs 300dpi.
dpi- Dots Per Inch
(I don't know what the term would be in the metric system, unfortunately)
72dpi is usually a default resolution for digital applications because 72 is the resolution for most computers and television screens. 300dpi is the resolution that which most print from on paper, books, and T-shirts (exception on billboards and banners). also 350dpi is the usual resolution for photographs; taken and printed, slightly hire for detail.
I'm not the greatest teacher, and I don't have enough resources and knowledge to thoroughly speak about this. But I will advise that artists should take a look into researching about printing and resolutions/sizes, both for on hand knowledge and for selling and distributing their work as prints. And if you yourself have some info to add/share/correct, feel free to contribute

to also note: the original first 2 photographs were originally 5456 x 3632 at 350dpi, and had to shrink down due to file size. This being the third time I wrote this
